It keeps going down

My weight that is :) I have now lost a total of 23 pounds and I continue to do amazing. I keep surprising myself in what I am capable of doing. I have also shaved 2 minutes of my mile time. A few more minutes off and I will then work on jogging it straight. My goal is to be able to jog at least 2 miles comfortably and also be able to jog/keep up with Mike. So 7 more pounds and I will hit my third goal! Which the reward for this one is getting my hair trimmed. I need it badly so why not make it a goal. Plus I'm trying to see how long I can get it before Mike comes home.

Well Mike is doing okay. He recently was able to visit Japan again. He went there last year too. He said he took a few pictures but I know his favorite part was just staying in town, and sleeping in a bed that he could lay out in. Plus we were able to use skype and talk to each other through webcam, that was amazing. He is actually in Singapore now and we will be using skype again tomorrow to chat! I cannot wait.

I am busting my butt to finish school early. I read through 4 chapters last week and took a quiz recently, I made a 94 on it. I was very happy. So now I'm on to read many more chapters, take another quiz and then it's time to take my final for that unit. My goal is to have this unit, the next and the one after done this month. So more staying home when I can.

My lovely friend Pamela will be here very soon with her husband to stay a couple nights. It should be nice having company :) We had a nice potluck for her today to say goodbye since she will be living in Florida for a while. I got to play with my friend's son Liam, I took him on the slide and the swings, he was so cute and giggling and having a great time. I love all my friends' kids. They're all adorable and definitely cheer me up :)

I am taking a HUGE step tomorrow. I have decided it is time to go back there. There being Lake Murray where Lexi spent her last day. I thought about it all night and just had this gut urge to go back for a walk tomorrow. I want to be okay, I want to be able to go there with Lily for walk/jogs. We used to go there all the time. I need to try and realize that it will be okay to take Lily there. I will just take her in the evenings or early mornings to avoid all the really hot times of the day. So Laura, being the amazing friend she is, said she would go with me. I know there will be crying, no matter when I go back there will be crying. It will bring back many memories but I'm hoping with tomorrow, that after the tears, I can enjoy the jog and think of all her amazing moments in her life that made Lexi the dog she was. It will be hard but I am strong and will make it through.
