Year in review of 2025 and here is to 2026

What an interesting year this year has been. 2025 definitely has been my year as I have spoken it since day one in so much with mostly ups then downs. I can't wait to see what 2026 has in-store. Here is the recap of 2025.

January we start off with leaving for Florida and already had an adventure with the RV. This coming not before ripping off our awning cannapy to the RV and mjss ing tons of vehicles in the process since we weren't on 95 yet and also in the far right side of the road instead of the middle. We finally made it in 2 days but not before stopping in Florence, South Carolina. This trip was also emotional and different as this was the first time we would be going to Florida with out my grandfather. We  knew it would be hard but didn't know how hard until we walked in the house and knew his room would be empty and that was the first time it fully hit. It took us 3 weeks to unpack and get settled in. In the process of that and getting settled my mom had a fall and messed her other ankle up possibly another broken one. This ended up screwing up our plans for going to the palm beach zoo and having a great time while she rested for the next month. This month also included the Tik tock ban which ended up being less than 3 days before it was released. It was also the start of the 4 year term of Trumps Inauguration. 

February turned into us going back to church and making bread in our 3 in 1 bread machine and making our first loaf while mom recovers. Events included pops 99th birthday if he was still here, my parents anniversary and Valentine's day. With stomach issues and more sickness due to MS. This month also included the super bowl and super bowl parties with the neighbors. 4 day visit with the sister and brother-in-law even though I wished it would have lasted longer. Also me trying a pot gummy for the first time after they left and becoming so freaking high that I ended up spending 50 plus in Wendy's on food and chocolate frostys. Sleeping for most of the night and then still waken up high so that was fun. By this time mom is pretty muched healed. Walks with my niece and neighbor. 

Now we enter March spring tornado season for most of the country. The south already had there season in January. Plenty of beach days, winery days with live music and fun. St Patty's day with the Irish festival and more. This is also the one year from the Key Bridge collapse incident. Baby sitting my niece as well and the start of a amazing weight loss journey. 

April came with weight loss progress but also ups and downs with med side-effects but now getting used to the meds. This also included mall trips with walking back and forth to get my workout, Easter planning, and getting my ears pierced even though I thought I got them done on my birthday but I guess not. 

May was uneventful other then my birthday and mother's day. The news of finding out your brother in law proposed to your sister in April in Aruba or some tropical location which we have been asking him to do for years. More weight loss ups and downs. New Dr apts with my new neuro who I love. And hit a total of 30 lbs already. 

June was the month for a hopeful relationship that turned into hell again. Makes me feel like im going to be single for the rest of my life until I die. Us finally getting ready to head back for the summer in MD but delaying for a couple of weeks as we work to build a inside storage area with hurricane shutters so we dont have to drag everything back inside the house and back out when we get there. This was also my annual 6 month infusion day. More weight loss progress in hitting mile stones that I have set. Finding out your going to be a aunt again in December. My neighbors pregnant with baby number 2. But little did we know that in the next month that my sister would tell us that they would be pregnant with a little girl which we wouldn't know until later on in the year. 

July was the start of 4th of July parties, summer once again from hell. Finding out your best friends from church are all moving to Edgemere and to find out one is moving to Penwood the other on Newton in the house that belonged to my cousins mother. The 4th of July parties turn into a surprised engagement proposal no one knew of. And all my friends who moved to Newton being apart of the 4th of July celebration. First time back at church after dealing with my grandfather health issues and death followed by my medical scare at church on father's day. Crab fests with your childhood friend and her mom well 2nd momma and having those reuions again. Hearing all the crazy stories and catching up. This also brings up the annual firemans carnival which brings the parade, fireworks and bingo nights. Ending the month with the start of the new young adult ministries starting back up and going to the Eddie James concert. And finding out your sister got pregnant on your moms birthday. 

Wow finally in August what a year already and the summer has flown by but glad that fall is upon us. Moms girlfriend trip to ocean city for a week while I stay home and relax. Bible study nights not before having another health scare and me blacking out. Bingo nights at the new Cove restaurant. Once again ups and downs of the weight loss journey. The one year anniversary of my grandfather's death, Trumps attempted assassination. Rapture speculations and fears for next month which has me on edge. 

September brought the idea of cooler weather and fall but spiritual struggles, rapture predictions and dad driving us crazy. More dr apts. With many anniversaries which included Chris, Mina, and 9/11. On 9/10 we would see a shocking and pivotal moment in history as we hear the shot heard around the world which wasnt Trump attempted assassination last year but Charlie Kirk being murder/assassinated in cold blood  on live tv. But on a positive note weight loss journey update was hitting the milestone of hitting a total weight loss of 50 lbs. The mental struggles of this is killing me and trying not to think about it. 

We now enter fall and the month of October. Once again failed predicted captures dates in September and them trying again this month. I'm totally over it. A college reunion that ended in disaster with no one really showing up after all this planning. More weight loss progress with now over 50 plus lbs. This also included more Bible study nights and young adult bonfire nights. 

November brings Thanksgiving and date night with dad in going to dinner and seeing the TSO or Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert in PA with his coworker and his wife. More weight loss progress and set backs. 

And now we finally enter the end of the year the month of December. The start of advent season and christmas season with Christmas eve services, planning our 6 month stay in Florida. The birth of my new nephew David Levi. Last Bible study of the year and christmas parties. But not before finding out the day before christmas that I would loose my coverage with my neuro dr that I had for 3 years after they decided to drop me before my next infusion that coming monday because they wernt getting paid for 2 years. And now I have to start all over again to find a new person. Lucky I have one in Florida but not in MD which is who I lost. We are trying to get in the Hopkins one but apparently its not as easy as we think like getting an apt. They have to review my case and that not even guarantee that I will be able to be apart of it. Which now throws off my infusion 6 month plan because of it. We end this month with new years and celebrating with friends which is surprised that I made it when every year I fall asleep by 8 pm. 

In conclusion this year has been so far the best in terms of not really having major issues or me ending up in the hospital. Here's to 2026 with more and better adventures and things to come. 

First 6 Months of 2025

What in interesting and amazing year so far. In January we left for Florida and already had an adventure with the camper after ripping the canopy. We finally made it to Florida in 2 days not before staying in Florencs, SC and then making the rest of the drive down. We arrived and realized it was going to be hard but we didn't know how hard it would be coming into on vacation house with out our grandfather and started to bawl already at that. It took us about 3 weeks to finally unload the camper. In the process of doing that and getting that all under control the end of January mom took a fall and broke her ankle which delayed us to actually doing stuff that includes plans on going to the zoo and others but oh well.  Also Trumps wins and the inauguration of his next 4 years. Which we knew would happen. 

February turn into going back to our church in Florida, using our bread maker and making our first loaf of bread which I fell in love with. Mom still recovering. Sickness with my stomach issues and MS. Pops 99th birthday would have been on the 6th. Also super bowl and super bowl party with the neighbors every year. This was also the month that my sister and brother in law came down for the week. Well I won't say the week sadly they were only here for like 4 days. This was also the month that I tried pot gummy for the first time and got super high from it which was fun.  Spending time with my neighbor and niece with taking walks. About this time mom is pretty much healed from her ordeal. Still feeling sick on and off both with stomach issues and MS. 

March turn into the tornado season of 2025 which is always fun. Church and relaxing. State of the union address and Beach days. Aunt visiting from NYC and staying for 2 weeks maybe. Winery days and listen to live music and relaxing. Pool days as well. This was also the start of my weight loss journey which kind of messed up more plans to go out and do stuff. Since starting zepbound with nausea and more. Starting to loose weight on the meds. Baby sitting my niece as well. 

April with weight loss progress and struggles. Sickness as well. But starting to feel somewhat better. More beach days as well. Spent some time at the mall and doing mall days with walking and just hanging out. More ups and downs with weight loss. Doctors Apts as well. Easter prep but probably not going to do much this year. Might I also add multiple days of sunburn. Getting ears pierced as well but I'm sure it was done mostly in May for my birthday. 

May with more weight loss progress and stuggles. Celebrating my birthday and mothers day all at the same time. This also concludes my sister and brother inlaw finally getting engaged well it was in April but they didn't really make the announcement until May. New Dr apt with my new neurologist who I love. 3 months down or 2 1\2  months down and have loss a total of 30 lbs already. 

June with hopeful new relationship turns into he'll once again. Us finally heading back home to MD. After being delayed for weeks. Also infusion day for my MS. More weight loss journey and injections on Sundays. Miles stones being hit as well even with the ups and downs of weight loss. Finding out that your going to be a aunt again in December when your neighbor tells you that she is pregnant again with her 2nd baby and due in December. 

July comes with 4th of July parties finding out your friends from church are all moving and are going to be your neighbors both on Newton and Penwood. 4th of July parties that also turn into engagement proposals as well. More mile stones and disappointments with weight loss. Reunions with you childhood best friend and 2nd momma and hearing all the crazy stories that come with it after not seeing them for years. First time back to my church in years due to an incident and dealing with the stress of my grandfather last year. Firemans carnival and bingo week. Eddie James concert and taking dad for the first time. Baby news of finding out that your sister is pregnant with her first child. 

August already pretty much through summer already can't believe how fast this summer is going. Moms trip to the ocean City the girls for the week while I hang back home and relax. Bible study with the girls not before having a MS episode and blacking out. Bingo at the new cove bar and restaurant on Mondays and disappointments with weight loss journey which includes weight gain and more. 1 year anniversary of my grandfathers passing can't believe its been a year already. Some weight loss progress but not much. This also inckuded the one year anniversry of Trumps assination. Rapture speculations for next month has me on edge. 

September spiritual stuggles with the talk of the rapture and dad driving us crazy over it. Drs apt with primary care. Anniversary of many events including 3 years since being diagnosed with MS, 9/11, Chris anniversary, Melissa's death and pretty much everything in between been a busy month. This was also a pivotal moment when we finally hear the shot heard around the world when we thought Trumps attempted assination which would turn into Charlie Kirks dead and assination. Another weight loss milestone achieved already hit 50 lbs total and still counting. Rapture speculations have me going crazy once again they are talking 24th-25th of this month but part of me knows it the enemy and that it will not happen cause it says in the bible no one knows the day or the hour. Ill be happy once this year is over. The mental struggles of this is killing me. But I'm trying to not let it affect me. Finally the day happen and nothing happen so much relief but now not a couple days later they want to preach again for the month of October and make it the 6th-7th or the 14th-15th at this time I'm so over this. Missing bingo these last couple of Mondays. 

October rapture day is back on but this time I'm kind if over it since getting back in my meds and have pretty much leveled out. Even though they are coming back with the 6th-7th or the 14th-15th at this point we are not taking about it anymore. College reunion was a flop no one showed after all this planning and I'm done with planning stuff anymore. As of right NIW I'm at a total of over 50 lbs almost 60lbs lost and 30 inches so proud of myself. 

Start of 2025

The year of 2025 has been so far an interesting on at that. In January we left on the 1st and got to FL on the 2nd. On our way down before we got on 95 we ended up tearing our camper/rv awning. Getting down to FL was crazy and weird in it self because of not having my grandfather with us. But we made it work. February we shared his birthday, March came and went. Not before having medical issues and another seizure. Also new weight loss journey with new meds to help and the sickness from that. Finally April has come and lots of fun things plan already down 11. 7 lbs but not sure how much longer on the meds. Might have to come back with being on the low dose and staying on that. That's all for these 3 months. 

January 2025

Hi bloggers, 

Welcome to 2025 what a year it has been since last year and can't wait to see how this year plans out. I have already declared that this would bec!y year. So far we are already on a start of an advemture. Today is January 1st and we are heading out on the camper/RV on our way to Florida. Its kind of weird this being our first time since we lost my grandfather last year. 

I can't wait to see how this year plans out after the year we had last year I'm prepared for anything and like I said I already declared this was my year of happiness and more. well we are on our way to Florida and I can't wait to finally relax and just recover from everything. 

Well we haven't even really made it out of MD before we tored our canopy in Glenn Burnie on 97. Thank God it wasn't on 95 and around other cars and not to mention the windows almost being blown out. I have pictures to upload to that as well.
