I FINALLY MADE IT TO STL (ST.LOUIS,MO)

Its update time!  So I left Norfolk, VA on Friday at 3:30am! i took a break at 6am and filled up and also to take a 45 min nap. I filled up again in WVa, Ky, and finally in Saint Louis, Mo. I did awesome on snacks. I are fruits and veggies and a grilled chicken sandwiches.... I finally got there at 7:05pm!!! (CENTRAL TIME) so it was 805 in Virginia. Special thank you goes to my linesisters, friends, and family who called and talked to me the whole way there. It made the time go by fast. Also specail shoutout to the radio stations for playing good songs so when I was not on the phone I was able to jam out. Also praise Jesus for giving me traveling mercy and allowing me to get to Saint Louis safely and in one piece!

 It's crazy! As soon as I arrived in the city I met my roommates they literally greeted me at the door and helped me move everything in my room. My room was a decent size and everyone was so nice. My roommates also helped me arrange my room as well. Then I took a quick shower and changed and I went to my first social event ever in STL. It was fun! I met some really nice people.

The next morning I got up and volunteered with the black expo. This year it was geared toward health and fitness in the black community. It was great, I really networked with a lot different agencies and organization. I got my blood pressure check, my cholesterol was checked and some other stuff. I met some really interesting people there. I also met this woman, Toya Carter. I am not a big fan of hers. But I know a lot of people are so I figured I would tell yall.lol

The next day I came back and volunteered and I met Yolanda Adams AND Johnny Gill.

me and yolanda adams

i got an autograph from her

Johnny wanted to sing to me.lol

It was gospel day and I watched some prasise dances and heard a gr8 sermon. I also am going to start lookomng for a good church while I am here! Pray that I found one that not only preaches the lords word, but also breaks its down so that I can understand it. I like churches that gives me real life situtions and apply GOD to it. My god has done some awesome things in my life and I want to continue to praise and worship hime! Hopefully I can get involved in a Bible study or something. But we will see onlky time will tell. I know I gotta slow down. But I get really excited and want to try everything.lol

I also met a comedian

When I was volunteering, I met some cool and down to earth women.  I wasn't even in STL for 48 hours and met 3 celebs,found some organizations to possible volunteer with, and had a good time as well. How cool is that.... VERY! What a great way to say welcome to the city. Also my roommates gave me a 7 day pass to the gym so I'm so pumped. I think I am going to start doing morning runs and workouts. OHHH I almost forgot, I joined BLACK GIRLS RUN! ST.LOUIS. So I found people to run with me.lol. I know you are probably reading this and wondering how does she find out about this stuff. I cannot help it I am social and I meet people and they tell me stuff, plus I look up stuff as well.  My goal is try something new each week and learn as much about the city as I can in one year! I am excited!

My 2nd goal while I am is here is to lose 25 pounds by Oct. 15, 2011 and to lose 35 pounds by Jan 1, 2012. I stepped on the scale and I am down 8 pounds so I got 17 pounds to go in 9 weeks. I think that's a realistic goal. Also I got to run a 5K before the year is up. That's a goal that I made to myself to do this year. So I gotta do it!.Butttttt its getting late... I will update you all about the job either tomorrow or later on this week!Night and thanks for reading!
