Yay! One of my favorite days of the year. The 4th of July. The celebration of freedom has always been important in my life. Today I'm celebrating not only our country's freedom and my spiritual freedom but my freedom from weight. Most of you know I've had gastric bypass and so far have lost over 150 lbs in the last 9 mos. 
Along with the weight I have lost my depression, fears, intimidation, and hopelessness. So today I'm filled with joy at the sight of lots of food but no compulsiveness too eat it, joy at the sight of all the crowds(I now feel like I fit in)and I feel practically bloated with the peace in my life and the bliss of knowing I have a beautiful, exhilarating life ahead of me. My desire is that each of my friends and family and all my fellow bloggers have a small slice of the joy I've found today and each day that follows.
We filled our day with fun by the pool lots of food and even shared our delicious homemade ice cream with our neighbors.
Yes I just patted myself on the back!Lol! I made ice cream for the first time last night and it was a major hit with everyone. Feelin Proud of myself!!
We then drove to Austin and endured thru 2 hrs of the Austin symphony (aaaghhh!)
and tried to ignore all the creative (weird!) people till we were rewarded for our suffering with a great fireworks show.
We had a late night snack @ Steak and Shake! Yummo!
Got home at midnight !! Exhausted!! All in all a great day!! Hope urs was 2!(sorry texting spelling habits are hard too break :)Until Next Time,
