Well, Corey left for Portland on Monday and arrived on Tuesday after needing many stops to let the car rest. I cried pretty hard after he left and then I was fine until I talked to him over skype Thursday night. We haven't been away from each other in the last three years we've been back together.
Of course, he nailed the interview on Wednesday and will start work on Tuesday. Working as a customer service rep for a small company on a contract with a large cell phone company. I know he will do really well, especially with his experience with Stream. This is only the beginning to a long journey of getting back to Portland before he joins with the Navy. From then on, crossing fingers, we should be financially ready for most anything. We are ready.
I am back on the lifestyle change right now, focusing on weight loss before going up to Portland. So far, I haven't really weighed myself but I know that I am a lot more active than I was before. Thomas gets picked up in the morning for school, so I spend the first hour getting him ready. Then, I am working on checking things off of my To Do lists I write up every night, of things I need to get done. I stay pretty busy with things that I do, otherwise I just find myself depressed and wanting to just curl up in my bed and cry. I haven't been this sore in a long time, even when I started the PE classes at Columbia. I am trying to eat healthier but slowly getting into it and not rushing into taking a strict approach so I don't feel deprived of something. I'm hoping to see some progress soon.
Anyways, this is my way of doing something important. Working with Thomas has been a really tough situation but I am trying to make things work. I am going to focus on myself, work on some new goals, But for now I must get some sleep. Goodnight.
Katie
