After the loss of my husband and daughter and having to fight to stay alive in 2008 I finally decided I needed to do something for me. I started actively being a part of Sparkpeople in 2011, even though I've been signed up since 2006. Although I was able to find happiness in life after my tragedy I still wasn't completely happy.

After the loss of my husband and daughter and having to fight to stay alive in 2008 I finally decided I needed to do something for me. I started actively being a part of Sparkpeople in 2011, even though I've been signed up since 2006. Although I was able to find happiness in life after my tragedy I still wasn't completely happy.

I finished my Bachelor's degree last April. It was that same week I decided to jump out of my comfort zone and do something I'd never done before. I decided I need a change. New scenery, new environment, new people.

My fiance has been by my side through the last few years and helping me to cope and deal with what I went through. He's been my rock. We had been to Florida several times over the last few years. i remembered how happy I felt each time we were there. So, I decided we were going to move!

After months of planning and finding our dream home we made the cross country move. Next month will mark a year that we have been here and I couldn't be happier. I refound my Spark and since October have lost over 20 pounds, over 30 pounds total since 2010.

It is a rough time of year for me from November - the end of April. I've found my renewed love for WWE and John Cena. Yes, you could say I've gone from a Disney obsession to a John Cena obsession. Yes, my friends my laugh and make jokes but its helped me through this time of year. Plus I have to admit he's not to bad to look at. :)
