I am so sorry it has taken this long to post again! Life has been so crazy, we moved into the house and then spend what little time we had seeing the sights and enjoying each other before Wes had to depart for training.
Sadly, Wesley is now in Indiana at training and we are missing each other so much! I am grateful to my parents for coming down here to help Savannah and I adjust to the new house and Wesley being gone, it makes me love them that much more! It doesn't, however, change the fact that Wesley and I are apart from each other once again. Poor little Savannah has had a few rough spots adjusting to all of the changes (seems like that is all she is ever doing!), but I think we finally have a routine that works for us right now.
While Wes is on his journey across the world, I have decided to start my own journey as well! It may not be quite as exciting or dangerous, but it is courageous and life-changing all the same. I have started the journey to a healthier me! A friend asked me the other day if I could sum up my reasoning for starting this journey into one word, but I found that to be very difficult. I am starting this journey for so many reasons! So what I told her was that "I am doing this to better myself and to show Savannah what it is like to lead a healthy lifestyle physically and mentally. I want to be able to show her what it is to love and respect yourself so much and to persevere even when the journey seems impossible!" Then my friend asked me the same question again, so I thought about it and finally came up with an answer: Self-Respect. I have lost my self-respect somewhere along the way. I am not respecting the body that God gave me when I eat so many unhealthy things, nor am I respecting God Himself when I constantly judge and belittle myself. I have decided it is time to do something about it! I will respect myself enough to eat the right things and work on having the right mindset towards myself so that I can show Savannah what it truly means to love!
