First Blog Ever

    So I don't really know where to start with this so I guess I will just write from the heart.  Let me just start with the fact that I am not a writer, so you will have to excuse grammer and stuff lol.  I am a military wife with 4 amazing children.  Braden is 5 and will be 6 on May 3.  He started kindergarten this year and he is so sweet and kind.  Ethan is 4 and is in preschool.  He is my lively one.  He gets into trouble a lot, but he always has everyone laughing and is quick to try and make people feel better.  Kylie is 2 and a half and she the mother hen.  She watches over everyone and hates it when someone is hurt or upset.  Emma is almost 16 months and she is just adorable and is always giving hugs.
    I have been married almost 8 years now to the most amazing man in the world.   He makes me laugh like no one else can and makes sure my every need is taken care of.  We bought a house recently and are hoping that his job doesn't take us away from it, but such is the army life.  My husband will be leaving for Korea in a few weeks and we are busy prepping for that and his leaving also brings me to the real reason for this blog.  As he is leaving on his journey, I have decided to go on a journey of my own.  One of self discovery (I know, very cliche and Eat, Pray, Love lol).  I have struggled my whole life from insecurity and overeating.  During this year, I am going to try and get to the root of these problems and hopefully start solving them.  I will be starting the Bible study the Woman Of Moderation along with bible reading and maybe some other books that I will be quoting periodically.  I would love other peoples insights to things as well.  I am not largely overweight but still need to loose about 50 lbs or so and am hoping to accomplish that this year as well.  I have come to discover that I don't need to diet.  I need to get how much I eat under control, along with what I eat.  Also I need to eat to live, not live to eat.  Right now, I turn to food for everything.  Even the good things.  Food is truly a gift from God and should be enjoyed but just like any other idol, when we let it control us then it becomes a problem.
