Holly's baby slings

I just wanted to help give a little P.R. to my sweet cousin Holly who has started her own little side business of making Baby Slings. I don't know too much about them excpet the Holly swears by these slings. They're apparently much better than regular baby pouch holders. You can hold your baby comfortably while doing housework or other things. If anybody wants to spread the word that would be cool. She's got all the info at her new blogspot at this address:

Holly's an absolute sweetheart and I don't think you could find anyone greater to do some business with. She's smart as a whip and has a heart of gold.

Love to all,

Auntie Chelsea and her new career path

Here is my first and only nephew with my Dad (and his proud Grandpa). I am the proud Aunt of my brother Brock's son Thomas Joseph Waugh. Brock is my half brother, my Dad's youngest son. I have another half brother named Brandon. Now I'm an Aunt for the first time ever! Yay!!! He's such a cutie!

Now for my other news! As of today I have decided on a new career path. Up until now I figured I would probably be a Sign Language Interpreter. For a long while now, I've felt that's not what I really wanted to do with my life. Lately I have felt like I would like to do something I have more experience with, something that was more personal to me. I have decided to go the direction of Psychology. I have dealt with mental health issues most of my life, and I feel like this career would benefit me as well as others. I would like to explore the different career options involved with psychology, but I was thinking along the lines of being a counselor to those with chemical dependency. I am very excited to start my studies in this new field. I am now really looking forward to my life ahead!

It's a New Year!!

Well it's been since October since I've posted a blog! I think it's about time I posted another, don't you think? lol I thought I would post my main New Year's resolution. I don't usually make New Year's resolutions, because I've never seemed to keep them when I've made them in the past. But who cares, I'm going to do it this time!

#1 Resolution: Lose 50 lbs. this year!

I've lost 170 lbs so far from my highest weight of 389 lbs. When I weighed last Monday, I weighed in at 219 lbs. Last weekend when my family was over at our house, I was saying to my Uncle Kenny how I'm going to try to lose fifty pounds this year. He told me, "Don't say you'll try, say you'll do it. Whether you say you can or you can't, either way you'll be right." I've heard him say this before, but it's so true. We have to have the right thinking. So, I AM going to lose 50 pounds this year! I'm going to try and develop a new lifestyle. I'm going to try and improve myself all around. I have so many flaws that I want to improve on. I will do it!

I have some other resolutions too, but I won't list them here. I am posting a couple of pictures that were just recently taken. Thanks for coming and reading my blog!!
