House Arrest...

Or at least that is what it feels like. Baby Saunders is trying to make a break for it at 32 weeks so I've been placed on bedrest until he gets here which hopefully isn't for at least six more weeks.

SIX MORE WEEKS!!!!

Good golly that is a long time when all you can do is watch tv, sleep, go potty, and eat! I would have added reading on there but the medicine I have to take to prevent contractions makes me dizzy so I can only manage a couple pages at a time before feeling loopy. :( I'm stalking pinterest like it is going out of style and hopefully on tuesday when we go to see the doctor I can convince the husband to take me to get some crafting supplies at wal-mart before heading home. There are some craft ideas that I want to attempt to make, because if I am going to be confined to my bed for weeks I am going to at least do something to make me feel like a productive member of society...or at least this household! I've been thinking of taking up crocheting again, making some wreaths, and a few other ideas that look easy to do and would make really cute gifts for people! For now though I am fine with my pinterest and netflix shows, but if we can keep this baby cooking until the right time to be born, I am going to get bored of television real quick. I will keep trying to read, but I am not confident it'll work out too well especially since typing right now is making me feel a bit dizzy.  I plan on posting ways that I am making this bedrest productive on this blog as a means for others who are in my position. I know this has mainly been a personal blog up until now, and I will keep it that way, but I want to start sharing a lot of the daily adventures I have with people. We were getting into cooking some awesome recipes and stuff like that that can be shared and posted.  I'll be making my own silver lining of this situation.

I realize that it has been awhile since I posted so I guess since I have all this time now I can update this blog and keep it going a bit better. Look forward to the posts I'll be making within the next couple of days. I'll be catching everyone up from where we left off to now!
For now I need to lay down for a bit since I've been awake most of the day talking with the in-laws and even had a visit from my own Mother Unit!

Depressed

In what is supposed to be one of the happiest times of my life I am finding myself in what has to be one of the worst depressions I have ever been in.
I did good for awhile, but slowly and surely I've gone deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Its affecting my life and has me worried for Baby Boy. Depression while pregnant is not good for growth and can escalate to postpartum depression if gone unchecked.
Jonathan and I are talking to the doctor on Tuesday about what I can do to keep it in check and hopefully get rid of it altogether. I keep panicking and crying and going out of my mind for no reason and over every little thing.
We're moving into Jon's parents house this week to help us get to a better place financially, but I know it's been the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I feel like I've already failed to provide our own home for our baby, that I'm not good enough to raise our baby. He's been such a blessing to us and I continually fail him and his father.

They deserve so much better then me.

It's happened...

I know most of you who read this blog already know this, but Jonathan and I are expecting our first child together!!

We found out on March 30, 2014 and proudly told our families on April Fools Day...after some convincing they believed us and were super excited about it! Surprisingly we kept it pretty hush hush until Mother's Day when we posted the announcement on facebook.

Right now I'm at 13 weeks which means next week I'll be in my second trimester! I have my next appointment this coming Monday and I'm super excited for the update! Four weeks between appointments is WAY too long for my taste because I'm too excited about all of this and I get scared because of all the cramping and spotting I get.

I know it's normal,but I can't help but panic sometimes haha poor Jonathan has to deal with my crazy emotions all the time. I cry over everything and even when I've been laughing I start crying. Luckily I don't have morning sickness...sometimes I get sick depending on what I ate but overall I don't get ill.

I'll update y'all more as time goes on. This mama needs a nap.

What the hell is PCO?

**Post may contain TMI**

So at the start of the year I was (and still am) experiencing cramping that wasn't previously common in my life outside of the start of my period. Usually I can take some Tylenol or ibuprofen and it goes away. This time though the cramping was and still is a random and persistent nuisance. I'm not usually big on going to see a doctor, but when I had cramping actually wake me up in the middle of the night I knew something wasn't right.
I made the appointment and had to endure the wait (a few weeks) before I could get answers. The pain continued, but on a lesser level after my period started. By the time I was on the exam room table I forgot about the pain until my wonderful doctor poked the wrong places and made me wince. Blood was drawn and my first ultrasound ever was scheduled. All day after my appointment though I felt bruised and battered, like I had had someone kick me right in the uterus. He had been gentle, but it still left me in pain after. The ultrasound went just as well....oh mama did it HURT. I knew exactly what side of my uterus was looking at by the side the pain was on. It was so unpleasant.

A few days later they told me my thyroid test came back normal (so my being overweight was just my fatty ways) and a few more weeks after that I ended up getting a call that my ultrasound revealed I have polycystic ovaries. The cramping is caused by that, the nausea from the pain is caused by that, the heavy periods, and all around pain in general is caused by my polycystic ovaries.

Online research doesn't do much to help shed light on this particular condition, as most people with PCO are diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and most information regards the syndrome as a whole. What is alarming though is I exhibit another symptom that PCOS sufferers experience...the problem is that my doctor didn't see it because it's embarrassing and so I made sure to shave. See I've got hair growth around my belly button and chest that should not be there, it's dark and has started growing the past couple of years. I regularly shave because it's weird to me and it's just awkward. Also my hair is thinning out. I shed so much it is ridiculous and annoying. So it has me particularly alarmed that I perhaps have PCOS and not just the polycystic ovaries.

Now I'm not going to self diagnose, I just want to try and manage the pain I experience and handle the hair loss/ growth in weird places while perhaps avoiding the infertility issues that can arise. My first step towards that has been working out and trying to lose weight. My doctor suggested it and any sites have that as a first step towards treating the pain issues. Another treatment is birth control, but it's usually when women aren't having periods/ to control flow.
I'll be posting updates as I go along. So far I've lost five pounds, but the cramping is still persistent. It comes and goes, but so far I don't have an exact cause for why it comes. The other day it hurt hours after having sex and usually will be hurting all night after I've worked all day.

I'm going to try some essential oils to see if it helps, but that's a post for another day. Ttyl y'all!

Adventures in Cooking Part Two

I'm thinking about posting our cooking shenanigans since we have quite a few of these delicious hijinks that occur...might be fun.

Anyways tonight's dinner was inspired from a pinterest post. We varied from what was used because that's what we do. So here's our version of this simple and easy crockpot meal.

2 frozen chicken breasts
1 Can of corn
1 can of Green beans
1 can of mild rotel with green chiles
I 8 oz package of cream cheese
I bag of seashell pasta

Combine all ingredients except pasta into slowcooker and set on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Once ready let sit for 30 minutes to let it thicken. While sitting cook pasta according to the directions on package. Add pasta to the crockpot and Voila! Its ready to eat!

It was more than enough for two people and was incredibly delicious. The hubby added salt and pepper to his and I enjoyed mine as it was made. Either way it worked and was filling after one helping.

Feel free to share any changes you might make to it!

Adventures of Cooking

Tonight I am making a surprise dinner for my husband and I am thrilled to see how it turns out!

Red mashed potatoes(from a bag), stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in.bacon(bought from the store meat department), and stuffed biscuits (pinterest recipe)!!!

All but the biscuits are something I don't really have to work on. Pop it into the oven or microwave and boom it's done. But the thing I'm most excited for is in fact the biscuits. Delicious mozzarella rolled into the dough with olive oil brushed on top with parmesan and garlic powder. Oh.My.Fudge. It smells delicious as they're baking and I can not wait until I am able to gobble them down.

I'm half tempted to just have the chicken and the biscuits since there's quite a few of them....yes that sounds like a good idea. Husband is getting chicken and biscuits...maybe canned veggies.

This homemaking thing is catching on. Oh I love cooking for him.

He's funny.

I've decided that my husband is a funny and sweet guy, whether he will admit it or not. Every passing day he surprises me by just how affectionate he is. He is a big pain in my butt, but for the most part he is this charming nurturing man. For example we went and got hot chocolate from the local gas station (mainly because we are idiots) and soon after we were both feeling sick and gross from drinking the sludge. While he was suffering as much as I was he spent that time comforting me as I have been so emotional lately I was crying from it. He's been doing a lot of that lately, being comforting. He sends me uplifting messages while I'm at work and goes out of his way to make sure I am feeling loved.
I say all of this because last night he told me something that brought a whole new level to our relationship and marriage. I'm not sharing what because that's between us, but I couldn't helpful think about how even though I constantly share such thoughts and he knows what I'm thinking, when he shares it always brings this new element to us. We constantly ask each other what we're thinking and he never fails to make me smile.
If anyone asks me what the success to our marriage is and has been I would have to say the honesty we share and that we strive to make each other happy.

Husband bragging moment over!

Doing What I Can

It's hard. This living thing is hard. Most days I just want to lay in bed all day and not do anything. The effort it takes to constantly breathe sometimes is just simply too much. It always seems though that as soon as my thinking turns darker than is manageable, my husband finds a way to shine light into the darkness of my mind.

I was looking at photos of myself over the years. Those times when I hadn't a clue in the world what I was worth. I thought I was ugly and not worth being loved. That I was broken, damaged beyond repair. I grew up fast, and I grew old beyond my physical years. I have been tired and weary for so long; my personal demons weighing and breaking me down further and further.

All of that changed when I met Jonathan. I had never felt so compelled towards another as I did him. I was taken in by his honesty and how willing he was to share his own demons with me. I had just wanted a friend, someone to talk to and hangout with since our friends got married. I ended up with so much more.

Sometimes my husband takes both my demons and his upon his back, just so I can breathe and find my strength again. Other times (not as often as I would like) he lets me shoulder his load for awhile. We're working together to help each other live. He makes me want to live, he makes me want to see what the future has and without having to plan everything out right now! He inspires me to dream and hope for things I haven't in a long while, and he listens with a calm and loving patience.

We are by no means perfect, we're as damaged as they get, but we were made for each other in a way I don't expect many to understand. We only dated for a little over a month before we got engaged, but everyday he proves to me that Heavenly Father led us to each other right when we needed it.

I don't know how this turned into a post about my awesome husband, but hey it's what needed to come out apparently. So if anyone is reading this, don't be afraid to get up and live, find someone or something worth living for. I'm learning to live for myself through my husband's help, but we all have the ability to love ourselves no matter how hard life may seem.

Don't worry lovelies, it gets better.

How far we come.

Looking back on older blog posts I have realized just how far I have come from who I was in 2009 when I started this blog. Yes I am still the sappy love sick woman I always have been, but slowly I've written about more than just my struggles with love. I want to tell cb people that if they want to really know me they should read things I've posted, but than I know I'll end up censoring posts/ be embarrassed by things I wrote about years ago.

I guess it's the same for every blogger out there though, we all post things we look back on in embarrassment. Heck, I read all of them tonight and just barely realized how personal I get in them. This has become a personally public diary of sorts for me over the years and I look back and see who I was and with some of my posts all I can do is shake my head in regret.
Don't mistake what I'm saying, I do not regret my life experiences. Very little in my life is worth changing. Most of my regrets are from this past year or so, but the younger me has to stay the same. I went through a lot to get to where I am and where I am is a pretty rocking place y'know?

So yes I've had many (slightly obsessive) "loves" and posted a great deal about it, but if you look close enough you'll see the struggles of a young woman looking for her own special person and place in this world. I've delved a lot over the years into my depression and struggles with my self-esteem and body image. I've shared loss of loved ones and joys of others and personal anecdotes of day to day adventures.

This blog is my life. It's a little piece of me thrown out there onto the internet. I'm not perfect and neither is this blog, but it's me and that's what makes it so great. I don't pretend to be normal and I never will. So I hope you enjoy it, I hope you read it, and I hope that in some way it changes you and gives you a new perspective of your world through someone else's experiences.

Another year down

So my birthday was a couple weeks ago and I found myself where I normally am around that thine of year. I get so super reflective that it's almost depressing. This year was a bit different in that I have the hubby with me and my life is so completely different than I thought it would be, and it is different in all the right ways.

This last year I managed (in no particular order)to lose and regain my two best friends, I got married, changed jobs, moved out on my own (no roommates til the hubs), actually lost weight, cut my hair, learned to accept the help of others, learned to somewhat be okay with myself, Read the whole Book of Mormon, made homemade bread, cooked in general, saw my brother Zachary for the first time in forever, and so much more.

A year ago on my birthday I was a couple weeks away from having my best friend get married, I was thinking I was going to be alone forever after finding out I had kissed another frog, I hated my job, felt trapped at home, and was depressed in general. I wanted to go on a mission or move or do something, but Heavenly Father kept telling me to wait. A few weeks later Jonathan and I started talking and the rest is history.

I've come so far in a year and I know that this next one is going to be just as brilliant. I didn't do much for my bday as far as celebrating goes. I had requested the day off so it was nice to just relax at home. Jonathan got me the FireFly series and a HUGE rice krispy treat (and I mean huge)and than we went and had dinner...I forget where though haha I think inside scoop. My memory is so shoddy.

Anyways it was another quite birthday after another hectic year. Here's to this next one and hopefully it's as crazy wonderful as the last!

The one where we clean

I'm going through a cleaning process in my life. Both in the home and in my heart. It sounds so cheesy to admit it, but there is a much needed, uh, need for it.

Homewise we haven't been very good with the cleaning. A photo has been attached of the state our living room has been in for TWO WHOLE MONTHS!!!!! I HAVE to do something about it and soon! We've been tackling the kitchen together thankfully, but I want to get this place nice looking so we can have people over and not be ashamed or have to make excuses. Also I always feel better with a clean environment. I once was told a clean home invites the Holy Ghost to reside in it...you know the whole" no unclean thing" and it totally makes sense. Why would we feel The Spirit if we are living in filfth?

Heartwise I am striving to be more spiritually minded. We haven't been doing so hot on reading the scriptures and praying. If we cook together we say a prayer, but we don't often have that opportunity. Some spiritual support I am right? The guilt is even worse when I think about how we should be working on being temple worthy. We are paying tithing though so that's a good start, but we need to actually get to church. A few of the weekends I have had to work, but sometimes I just end up sleeping through and I end up kicking myself over it. Satan knows just how to hold me back from my full potential and at times it feels like I just let the stinker win. Well not anymore!

We've promised each other that we'll do our best to help the other be more spiritually minded and we are making Christ the center of our home and marriage. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of cleaning up to put us in the right mindset. :)

The one with the dream

So I woke up this morning cracking up and the hubs was looking at me like I am crazy. What was the cause of the hilarity?

I had a dream and for some reason I called someone in it a toilet. Apparently it was very hilarious and I laughed for a solid ten minutes before drifting back to sleep.

I don't remember what the wording was exactly or what was even happening but I do remember crying because I was breathlessly trying to explain just what was so hilarious to Jonathan.

Poor guy just called me crazy and rolled over and went back to sleep. He must love me so to put up with such shenanigans. Apparently it's a common occurrence in the Saunders household. I talk a lot in my sleep and he will amuse himself by interacting with me.

And all I get from him is mumbles...:(

Aaaand sleep fails me

Work will be here soon and I know once the alarm goes off I am going to regret not trying just a wee bit harder to sleep. It's hard sometimes to tell my brain to shut up and go to aleep. Especially when said brain is simply refusing to pay you any mind. Stupid head.

Well since we're here let's chat a bit. For those of you who are possibly just joining the conversation I bid you welcome. This is the Adventures of Nadia (Me) and most , if not all of these posts, offer insight into my small insignificant dent on this planet. For those who have been a part of the conversation for awhile, I thank you ....also you can stop worrying about my baby post. It's not happening. Not for awhile. Let's just say I came to my senses and realized I am incredibly selfish and want my husband all to me for as long as Heavenly Father will allow it. I know everything happens in its own time and I'm claiming temporary insanity brought on by pinterest and facebook. Babies are everywhere and its like some kind of adorable plague!

Well tata for now....the hubs will be home soon and will be quite upset that I have yet again failed to sleep when I should. Poor dear worries about it more than he should. Definitely going to use it as an excuse for a snuggle naptime tomorrow!!

Birthday wishes..

How do you tell someone that what you want for your birthday is something they cN't give to you right now/ won't give to you? How do you explain that the very gift on your mind is something you shouldn't want? See the hubs keeps asking what I want for my birthday in a few weeks and all that keeps popping into my mind is a baby. ...I know. We've been married for almost two months and already I got baby on the brain. I'm thinking exposure to all these pregnant women and newborns is to blame. I can't get the idea out of my head and its driving me nuts. I already know the arguements for not having one right now, but it still just won't leave! *sigh* The worst part is that I don't even know how to tell him and i'm too scared/ embarassed about my change of heart to say anything. I've been saying since day one that I don't want any right away and now its on my mind waaaay to often to even be comfortable about.

I've been stressing about this and I keep trying to talk myself out of it. We don't have the money, we don't have any school finished, our apartment isn't big enough, I don't have insurance, we just got married, and a whole list of other things that make valid arguements...and than it all goes away in the blink of an eye. Every. Single. Arguement. *POOF* Gone with the wind, never to be seen again. At least until the next day when the cycle begins again.

What's a girl to do? Can someone out there lend a hand or some helpful advice?

The one where I pet sit

So forever and a day ago I created a profile on care.com to.offer services like petsitting, babysitting, tutoring, etc and I never really had anyone send me a response or anything... I actually had quite forgotten about it when.suddenly I get an email from a prospective parent of the four cutest dogs ever!

She wanted to do a meet and greet to see if I would be able to help her, especially since she is here in Moapa Valley for a few months. Well right away as I enter the dogs stampede my way and start loving all up on me. It was ridiculous and I loved it. Apparently they loved me and a trial sit was set for a couple days later.

Let me say these dogs are the most easygoing animals ever. They get worn out from the heat easy so after a little bit of outside play they want back in and its snoozeville from there. I've decided that I love petsitting. Something about being with these dogs makes me extremely relaxed and happy. I feel blessed to be able to spend time with them...even when they are going crazy inside since outside is storming.

So far I've made in two days of sitting, what I earn in a week of working my other job. These pet parents want the best for their furbabies and I don't blame them. While they are here I am going to enjoy being able to help them and I'm not going to lie the extra money is nice. The hubs and I are going to put the money into savings :) Hopefully this will help us save a pretty penny and help us not be so strapped at times!

These dogs are seriously becoming my favorite way to spend the day. It isn't a job so much as spending time with some four-legged friends each week :)

The one were we feel "special"

So I've been in my apartment for a little over eight months now, okay thats over half a year, and all this time I have been puzzled as to why the walk-in pantry is void of its own light source. The hubby and I would joke about getting one of those push on night lights for in there, but never got around to it.Thankfully we hadn't otherwise this already embarassing situation would have been made worse. There is in fact a light. It just doesn't have a bulb in the socket. There is even a nifty little light switch right on the inside of the pantry by the door.

...this is where I hang my head in shame.

How we never noticed it before is beyond me. We had been in there looking at our options for dinner and he turned around and all of a sudden is asking what the switch went to. Naturally we started looking and lo and behold there is the sad empty little lightbulb house.

After we stopped staring at it incredously we laughed for a few minutes and than we started feeling like the couple of fools we are.

Let this be a lesson to you all. ALWAYS look...even when you think you have looked, look again!

It Works...it really does!

Here it is! The long awaited posting about what has been consuming my life lately! It Works Global and their Uh-MAZING products!Back in June I signed up as a distributor for It Works (link to my site below) and I haven't looked back! I did it on a whim, a shot in the dark, a hope for a better future and so far I haven't done too bad! The best part is that I managed to get a couple wraps on me before the wedding and I didn't have to have my dress taken out at all! The zipper had been a little bit close to popping, but after being wrapped it fit perfectly, if not just a little loose.

For those who don't know what a wrap is, it is a nonwoven cloth that has a natural botanically based lotion on it. You place the wrap on, wrap yourself up in an ace bandage or form fitting shirt or even tights and 45 minutes later you take it off, rub the remaining lotion in and VOILA! There should be some shrinkage, but the amazing thing is that over the next 72 hours YOU KEEP LOSING!!! You just have to make sure you drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins being released from your fat cells. This isn't water weight happening. It is inch loss. The lotion helps to shrink fat cells which expand when they are loaded down with toxic junk...and water helps to flush it right out!

I and so many others have experience the magic of this wrap and the other products sold. If you want to know more about it works click the link.below and search around. You can message me through my contact information on the site if you wish to know more!

How I stopped stressing

For those of you who have followed this blog for awhile, and those who have just clicked on it, you know I have had a long and ardous struggle with depression and anxiety. Heck most of my most emotional (and more popular) posts were done in times of great sorrow. Last year I elected to stop taking the anti-depressants I was on. I didn't like feeling like a zombie, and I didn't like all the side effects that come with those medications. I've struggled with that on and off and while I've been an emotional train wreck at times, I have been happier off of them.

It got to a point though where, especially now that I'm married, my emotional stability (already fragile) was being completely obliterated. Poor Hubby has had to comfort me almost every day for the past couple of months as stress piled with other emotional traumas piled up. I decided to do something about it and as you know from previous posts I am a distributor for IT Works Global and I have started taking the Confianza supplements they have. It is an anti-stess formula that has also amazingly been helping with my depression! I've only been taking it for a week so far, but after years of living how I was I can honestly say I feel amazing.

The best part is that there aren't any side effects! It is hard to explain just how clouded and poisonous my thoughts/ feelings were, but let me tell you I have been able to think.more clearly than even when I was on antidepressants. I understand I've been on it for a week, and most people wouldn't take anyone at their word for it, but for the first time in my life I am actually happy and I don't get irritated or stressed at the drop of a dime. My anxiety levels have dropped and even in situations that made me snap or cry last week I am able to get through with ease!

I will continue to take Confianza because it is a natural supplement, it doesn't give me side effects (who needs to be jittery like a junkie?), and it gives me the ability to be in control of.my.emotions and notnthe other way around.

The one where I got married

On July 20, 2013 at around 5:30 pm I, Nadia, married the love of my ever exciting life. The man with whom I will continue to have my adventures with, Jonathan, who will from.here on out be known as the hubby, the hubs, the manchild, or simply the man.

It was glorious, stupendous, and didn't happen as we thought it would. See we originally had planned on being sealed at the Las Vegas LDS Temple, buuuuuuut because we are in fact human, AND the importance of entering the temple worthily is not lost upon us, we elected to have a civil ceremony. Fear not though! In year we will be sealed! There will be further posting on this subject, but for now we discuss the wedding itself.

Naturally it started out with hair and makeup being done. I am not the hair and makeup type of girl, but I figured it was a special day so why not? The wee one (my littlest sister) was not amused at having to have her hair all prettified but she, as a bridesmaid, had the obligation to do so. The other girls were ecstatic about it and the best part was seeing my mom get treated as well! When Melinda (link provided below) was starting my makeup I though she was going to be working on the front of my hair, imagine my surprise when suddenly she was touching my face! I almost told her to calm her hormones until I realized I was paying her to do that. (I told you guys I don't normally wear makeup) She did an amazing job and was so patient the whole time. Airbrush makeup is definitely the way to go! She even managed to get rid of the dark circles under my eyes that are naturally there! I felt as beautiful as everyone says I was and that is something that rarely happens.

Thankfully after getting beautimous we all got to enjoy a luncheon of delicious BBQ that the new inlaws cooked up....a couple weeks later and there is still a TON of it left over! It was so nice to relax and just eat. When I walked up, Jonathan's first response was to tell me I looked different. Apparently at first he didn't recognize me, but hey, he had never seen me in makeup before so I don't blame him :)

It was nice to have some time between the luncheon and photos to spend with my girls Jenny and Kami. Those sweethearts painted my nails and my toes. One did my fingers and one my toes at the same time! I felt fancy as heck by the treatment!! Jenny's husband took a photo of it and posted it on facebook....even had the nerve to call me Bridezilla! We were laughing pretty hard when I saw it. When we got to the church after we were the first ones there besides the photographer Reyanna (link provided below). We had told everyone to be there around 4 and it wasn't until after that they started arriving. I was in my dress and dying before Jonathan was even ready! Finally we got the photos squared away (even did first look photos) and it was time to get married!!!

President Dalley had President Leavitt say an opening prayer and my brother aaron was our music guy. The processional happened and the place was packed!!! President Dalley said many a lovely words and when talking to Jonathan he mentioned something about taming dragons. Immediately after he turned to me and began speaking....don't know what that means, but yeah lol he covered by saying I have to help Jonathan conquer said dragons.

Anyways we got married, signed our certificate and than partied!!! The rest is kind of a blur but Istill have cherished memories from it. Like my new niece Keeley following me around and feeding me candy all night, Jonathan telling me I looked beautiful as we danced our first dance, and my 11 year old cousin Tamara catching the bouquet. So many memories that I'll always have!

We headed off to Vegas for our honeymoon. Good times to be posted later.

Rey of Light Photography: http://www.reyoflightphotography.com  She is an amazing natural light photographer who takes what you want into consideration and just blows me away with each and every new photo she edits. The one posted is one of hers from that day! Check her out and let her know I sent you her way!

Hair'z by Melinda:  http://hairzmelinda.com She also did an amazing job on not just my hair and makeup, but my parties hair as well and she listened to what we wanted and helped us look at what we might need. When wedding plans and locations got changed she was so flexible and willing to work with me. Check her out! If you are in Las Vegas she will travel to you free of charge!! 

An interesting future.

I've done it. I've turned into what I was told I would become growing up. So far I've accomplished working at McDonald's for a living, although the management position was never mentioned to me when I was young, and now my future husband and I have discussed where we'll shop for necessities and the like....the Dollar Store!!

I ain't even ashamed.

We checked it out and we can get what food and supplies we need for way cheaper than walmart or the grocery store. Of course for fruit and such we'll have to "splurge", but hey when you're living on one income of sorts you have to make do and making do is what we shall be doing! Living smart is what we'll have to do while we start out and we are very aware of that.

In other interesying news I have become and IT Works! Independent Distributor and so far I've sold a few wraps, got a facebook page, and a website going. My kit hasn't arrived yet, but once it does I can go further into getting business. I'll post more on it later, but right now I just wanted to mention it. I figured the extra money I make for now will help out some. I want to try and make it to the top with it.

Anyways got to go.get wedding stuff in order. Look for a Father's Day post later!
