My breast have been really itchy lately, which as I understand it, that means breast growth!!!! Yea. I've also noticed my legs are getting softer and I'm falling in love with how my legs feel.

On a similar note: My nipples hurt!  Woo-hoo!

That's so lovely Angela X

Yesterday at Ripleys Aquarium she was going to be my an 'Angela' mug at the gift shop >.<

I was shopping at the military commissary for groceries this afternoon and when I showed my old military ID to check out the cashier did a double take at the picture and for a couple of moments wouldn't believe it was me.  Maybe it's about time to get that card updated.

My sisters here made me feel really good about myself. Enough said

I met with a personal stylist to help me find clothes for work.  I got some great outfits, but I spent way too much! [emoji15]

Today I enter the final week before I leave for VFS, which is making me ecstatic.  But on top of that I spent two lovely, non-consecutive days in Los Angeles, the last one playing roller derby against some of the best banked track skaters in the world.  I even scored a point, which is pretty good given that I am not a jammer (they score the points).  I made a few new friends while I was there, and grew a few others.

I am about to step away from my sport for several months because of surgery.  I have mixed feelings about this, I love playing it, but as I get older I am drawn towards the next thing in my life.  I have had a good career in derby serving as a team captain and coach, making the All-Star team three times, and winning seven MVP awards.  Last night I had a long conversation with a new friend, we known each other for a while but never just sat and talked. She opened my eyes into new possibilities in a post-derby life.  I am looking more and more positively towards the future every day.  This and my upcoming life changes are making me a very happy girl...

I just gave my mother my coming out letter. My wife was with me for support. I asked her to read it later, after we left. She agreed.  So Yay! for coming out! My parents were the last people I needed to tell.  I know there will be follow up conversations, but for now, I am out!!!

What a roller coaster of sad/bittersweet, emotional and joyful -I went though most of the whole thread and had a little cry by myself.. Thank you all for the ride <3. ..What made me happy today?

I was so happy with how I looked in the mirror this morning that I giggle-snorted. The sun has for once broken though the cold gloomy clouds and mists of Norwegian winter and I'm starting to really notice the effects of my HRT. Life is awesome!

ok, I will admit this happened last week Friday and not today.. but it still made me happy.

I had a real girly day, with my mother and my bff. We starting looking for my wedding dress. MY bff is a dress maker and she will be making my dress, but needed ideas as I had no idea what I wanted, so we looked at dresses and even tried a few on. That was first time I have tried on a wedding dress and it felt amazing and exciting, my mother even shed a tear when she saw me in the first one..

At the end of day, I knew what I wanted and now my bff is designing it.. I want an open back dress there will be straps on my back, that is tight to my hips with puffy long dress to my ankles.  After dress window shopping, we all went for a neck massage..

Now all I its the search for the right shoes...

I had a blast, I love girly days and I loved the idea my mother was with me.

I have had a rough day, and to be honest, seeing your optimism and joy for life, even in print, has made me happier than anything else in my life today. What a person says and does matters, even from afar..

Thank you, Sarah.

You are too sweet Missy, and you are more than welcome.  I am sorry for your rough day, I know those happen.  I get them.  It is our friends that help lift us up and bring that little bit of joy into our lives. Just remember that we are all here for each other, and someone out there cares <3 

Many hugs to you...

I talked with my doc today... I get to start my higher dose of Estrogen today. A whole week early.

I've been on E for 3 weeks now and I am already noticing softer skin. And the start of some breast development.

I am absolutely in heaven.

Chatting with somebody sweet and kind, and knowing that everything will be okay, for her, and for me, and that good dreams can follow bad days, and that love will conquer all, even the darkest of thoughts, yes, even those..

Happy to be a part of this crazy, mixed up world, yes, yes..

Missy

My wife and I went to this pop-up store for discounted, branded cosmetics. Very hard to disclose what you would like with throngs of people around. Left with new mascara, eye shadow, eyebrow pencil and fragrance.
Now to enjoy lots of evenings wearing with also some light mascara at work.

Still on cloud 9 after the AFI concert.. <3
Had to rush out this morning after my ultrasound to buy the new album since waiting inline at the concert was just a nightmare. >.< They really were at the top of their game last night. even if the venue in general had AWFUL sound.
I was happy to see they played a good mix of their older and newer songs. (More than a few times I found myself turning to my girlfriend and gasping; 'oh (expletive)! That ones from (album name)!' Or just insanely giggling in my seat and clapping!)

Bucket list item, checked off. Would've been nice to meet the band and get their autographs..

Yesterday Randi sent me a text:

It was a picture of a purse, dark red, labeled "present for you". I'm using it today.

Being told I look "AbFab"... all smiles now... 

After several really bad days of depression and anxiety, I woke up this morning, looked at myself in the mirror. My face hair is much thinner. I see a lot of white/greys but much few dark hairs. So that was a positive. I have lost a lot of upper body muscle. My arms are getting skinnier. My chest has reduced. I actually can see my lower rib outline when I stretch. I seem to have lost some belly fat. My shoulders are a bit bonier. Still have the trapezoid muscles. Hoping they shrink. Still have plenty of belly and back fat to loose. Somehow my weight is changing hardly any. Still at 203.  Well better than I was.

Oh yeh I have boobs! Not big but going to be hard to hide in a tee shirt sooner rather than later. Bumped one working yesterday. OW did that ever hurt!
