Catching up in Dana Bell

Okay. So, it’s been a while.
I have some catching up to do!
-my daughter is 3. How did THAT happen?!?!
-next month Greg and I celebrate 5 years of marriage.
-we started another business. We have a total of 3 now.
-still a stay at home mom. Debating if I should start working again. Sydney is potty training and we are looking into preschool options soon.
- had a really tough year. 2015 was very trying for me. I was diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Started seeing a counselor weekly and a psychiatrist. I’m better now. Took a while to find the right dose of medication. Still have bad days but I’m having more good ones.
-moved closer to family to a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood.
-we are in Hawaii (right now) for a month. It’s an anniversary celebration/much needed vacation. We arrived on Friday night. My in laws are flying here next week with our daughter. So far it’s been amazing. My husband and I really needed to reconnect. The one on one time has been wonderful. I’ve always loved it here. One day I hope to live here. It feels like home.
- lost about 25 pounds last year. Still need to lose about 40-50 pounds more. Ugh, I haaaaate saying that. I packed on the pounds after having my daughter. And depression … Well… That didn’t help me out either. I’m slowly trying to get back into being more active. I’m jump stating things again in Hawaii.

Think that’s about it. All the major stuff anyway. I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot.
