Dare I post something a year and a half later?

Wow... what a blog.... I don't post ever, it seems... But Life, Love, and Kate has changed so much!! Love is amazing, Life is amazing and Kate is absolutely AMAZING!!!

My life to date...









Love is amazing, my life is absolutely amazing... I know that I will marry Jeff, he's the man of my dreams and everything I could every wish or hope in a man!

With a new home, new love, I have started my new life!

I love my new iPhone App!!!!!!!

So, I've been on a walking kick lately! I feel like since I gave up caffeine that I have more energy. Also, with my new schedule at work, it allows me time in the morning to work out. With that, let me tell you about my new application on my phone! It's call iMapMyRun, though I'm not running it works the same and I put it in as a walk when I'm complete. It uses the GPS on my phone and maps out my walking path, the distance, and the time. The only down side to if, if any, is that if I want to change a song I have to pause the application then change the song. This is a minor, minor problem.... I usually just listen to the songs I don't like anyways and keep trekking!

So here it is.... Here's what my new application can do!





Isn't it AWESOME?!?!?!!!

I wonder....

So you know by now that I'm not good at keeping the blog up... But, something hit me the other day and it made me want to blog about it.
I was out on my morning walk, jamming out to my latest tunes, with a smile on my face. You know how it feels to be out in the California sun, gettin' your blood flowing, you can't help but smile! While I was walking though, I passed two women, who were on the heavier side. They looked at me with a look that was smug and not very friendly, mind you I said "Hello" and I had a big smile on my face.
I couldn't help but think about how I felt when I was at my heaviest, and then started to apply it to the situation. I remember when I was bigger and would try to "work out" I would see thinner people and think not so nice things about them (and by no means, do I think that I'm one of the thinner people, I'm working on it though). I wonder if that's what they were thinking of me.... I'm still a little bothered by it, but I can't change what others think. All that I can do it change how I think, and I can tell you that I look at life a lot differently. I look at people differently, heavy, thin, tall, short.... I know there are things in life we can control and there are somethings that we can.
I wish I could have told those two women that it has been a long road for me to get here and it wasn't easy. I'm proud of my accomplishments when it comes to my weight and I am still working on it... I would love to lose another twenty pounds or so, but it's the self control that I need to work on! I love to go on my walks, I love to jam out to my iPod, and I love to get into that stride that makes me feel like I could walk all day!

****I'm writing this from work, and would love to post pictures. I'm going to have post the pictures when I get home.

I just figured out how to post from my iPhone!!! Crazy! Let's see if I can actually post more blogs now that I have this ability! Haha!

My Babies!

So, as some may know I'm a proud owner of two new baby kittens! I would like to introduce you all to Olivia and Crunch. They are bother and sister, domestic long hair kittens... They could also be mancoons but we not too sure.

This is Olivia... 8 weeks.





Crunch... 8 weeks.






Olivia is on the right and Crunch on the left....

AWWWWWW.... I love them so much! It's such a joy to come home everyday. They brighten my day!

An AWESOME Birthday!

My 28th birthday was the 16th and I couldn't have asked for a better celebration. It started on the 11th with a surprise party from my co-workers... We went to Henessey's in Dana Point.


Then on Friday the 13th Brigitte and I enjoyed a wonderful day at Disneyland... Despite the rain it was nice. We went to the movies too when we decided we had, had enough of the rain!


My brother and his girlfriend joined us on Saturday (Valentine's Day) for the about five days... We start out on the 14th with dinner at Harbor Grill, then Sunday was a relaxing day at the resort they stayed out with some bocce ball and pizza and beer for dinner.




Then on the 16th, my actually birthday Eddie, Nicole, Tim and I went wine tasting in Temecula... It was amazing even with the rain.





To end the trip out Tuesday the 17th we went to Disneyland... My brother hasn't been since we were in elementary school. It was nice to seem him so excited and it was great to share this experience with him as an adult. We couldn't have had more fun!

Goodbye Betty....

My bike was stolen over the weekend... She was a good bike, her black frame, pink flames, white wheeled tires, and pink rims.... She will be missed terribly!




It's funny though as to her disappearance, She was locked up on a post next to my car with a bike cover over her. There are many bikes around, many as in a hundred I would say... Why Betty? Well, I guess she was the prettiest!

Tim says to look at the silver lining. I had a hard time finding it, but I think that where ever she may be hopefully is getting ridden a little more than when she was with me....

R.I.P Betty!

PS... I'm filing a police report and if you see anyone riding her around let me know... This picture is a good dipiction, but she also has a black wire basket and a pink bell!
