When your back is turned, life continues on its journey. This can either be a great relief or a struggle to catch up with. The past year I have struggled with my head down and my heart in pieces, just trying to keep on track with my everyday life.

Not anymore! I'm ahead and just waiting for my life to catch back up with me. Who ever thought moving away from Bangor would open my world up so much.

A lot has happened since my last blog in october and if you are ready for the ride I would love to catch you up.

Medically, I am doing very well. I have lost a total of 26 pounds. Still have a long way to go, but I'm feeling great. My energy levels have shot through the roof! Finally some motivation to get up and moving. My heart is just a-beatin' away:) The polycystic aspect of my life is improving slowly. My cholesterol has lowered, as has my blood pressure. All very good signs. Slowly but surely I am making improvements. Thanks to everyone's well wishes!!

I just accepted a job as the coach for the Winslow High School Swim Team!! I have 15 girls and 12 boys on the team this year! It's so much fun:) The kids are coming along well and I expect we will make a good showing this year in the KVAC'S!

I am also working at Applebee's, which I HATE. But over time I think I'm going to find something that better suits my fancy:)

I have made my plans for next year. When I first moved home I was going to return to Bangor, and Dysart's next year. That plan has been tossed. I figure why take 20 steps backward after taking 10 forward? So instead I'm going to move to Portland and continue my schooling at the University of Southern Maine. USM. I love Portland and I'm there most of the time anyway. It will be nice to live there and experience that "city" even further.

And, the most exciting part of my life. I am dating! I don't want to get into specifics yet just because I want to be selfish and keep it all to myself. But for just an overview...He is 24, his birthday is the same day as mine:), he lives in portland, he's a bartender, we went to high school together, and he is amazing. I know that sounds corny but he is awesome. The type of person that generally just cares more about others then himself. The sort of person to make a gourmet meal if you said you were hungry, set your toothbrush up in the bathroom if you said you were staying the night...he is perfect. Could it be, Ali has moved on from a certain someone?

THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND:):)!!!!!!!!!!

Okay that's all I've got for now.

Hope all you guys are doing well and getting into as much trouble as possible.

Hey Ali-babes!

Glad to hear that you are doing much, much better. You'll have to come back to Bangor and visit sometime. I'm sure a lot of your friends up here miss you a lot, like I do. Hit me up on AIM sometime and we can chat and whatnot. Talk to you soon, hopefully.
