Country roads, take me home........

to the place, I belong......WV (well close enough)

In early January I lost my uncle Tom. It made a few things very clear to me. 1. my dad is 70 and he won't be around forever. 2. I longed to be back "home" more than ever. 3. I missed my family. So, I made a few calls and sent a few resumes and February 1st I started a new job in Parkersburg, WV. We currently are still Buckeyes, but hope to buy a piece of property in WV out, way out in the boonies somewhere.

I had to get a new surgeon to follow-up my care for my band. I will see him March 2nd, for my first fill. I am super excited. I think I've gained back the 18 lbs I lost. I know that I have been eating bad stuff, but.....in my mind, it's because after March, I will never be able to eat some of these things again. So I have probably went a little overboard. I know I should probably still be dieting, but again, I will not be able to have ice cream for dinner in the future if I wish to. I will have to eat as much protien as possible, so to get enough nutrition.

I don't much miss Pennsylvania, but, now I can't be the Pennsylania Penningtons much longer. Until I think of a new catchy name, this will remain so.
