Hey Everyone!!
Last week, 12/6/14 I had surgery to remove my gallbladder! Talk about ouch! That was not my idea of a good time. Slowly but surely this week I have been getting better and recovering faster then I thought I would!
Sometimes we don’t realize those little things we do make a difference. I can tell you that they DEFINITELY DO!
We make all these efforts, do the compound effect of doing little things and overtime they will add up. Sometimes we don’t see immediate results and it can discourage us. I was so scared when I had my surgery and I know it was due to my unhealthy days. BUT…this past year I have been making strides to become healthier and stronger. I quit smoking and have been working out. I have also been watching what I eat by eating more clean and watching my portions. (21 Day Fix is a great program for that)
The recovery time would have been a lot longer if 1. I smoked 2. I wasn’t working out or working on getting healthy through exercise and 3. Eating better. I thank a lot of that to my challenge support groups to help keep me accountable.
You can do it! It takes time and effort but you can do it! Believe me, you want to make strides to be a better and healthier you, especially to avoid this crazy/painful almost $40,000 surgery!
Have a great weekend!
❤ KJ

Hey there! Welcome to my blog! My name is KarenAnne Taggett. I am from a small town in Michigan called Lawton. I grew up there most of my life until I married my high school sweetheart Rich. He is in the U.S. Army and we have lived in North Carolina and Tennessee. We are currently stationed at Fort Campbell, KY.
Parker, our oldest son, who just turned 6 in May. How time flies! It seems like just yesterday he was born. I absolutely adore him and I think he knows it! ;) I love watching him grow more and more each and every day. He is a big first grader this year and while school can be challenging he is making the most of it and rocking it!
Grayson, our angel baby, was born sleeping on January 1, 2016 at 35 weeks and 5 days due to hyper-coiled umbilical cord. We miss him every single day but we feel him around us always, in the wind, sunshine, and all the pennies he leaves us. He will always be our baby boy.
Sullivan, our youngest, who just turned 1. He is our rainbow baby . I got pregnant with him a month after we lost Grayson. We were not expecting that but I think his brother Grayson sure knew what he was doing when he sent him to us. He is the sweetest boy and always so happy. He is our sunshine and then some!
We have one dog, a white Boxer named Love. She is such a love bug, hence her name. She just turned 9 in July. She's my only daughter and keeps me company in this full house of boys. She is very spoiled and I can't imagine my life without her.
I am an easy going person and down to earth! I call myself a genuine country girl! I love being a mom and an Army wife. I love spending time with my husband when time allows but we love being together as a family. We LOVE being outside and doing things around the house. We go to the parks a lot with our sons and dog. Anything to keep us outside, we love!
I'm on a mission to find what I want to be when I grow up. I thought it was a teacher, and now that I'm 99% done with my bachelors in elementary education, I don't feel that is where my heart is anymore. I'm also juggling mom life, military life, and being a stay at home mom. I know I have a calling or a purpose or what I'm supposed to do when I grow up, I just haven't figured that out yet.
I'm so glad you have taken the time to check out my blog! I hope you follow my journey, have some laughs, and join the silliness!
