Cha-Cha-Changes : )

I must say my life is very unplanned out and very random. Things keep constantly changing and getting mixed up, broken, fixed and everything in between. In the past two weeks i have been on such an emotional roller coaster and things are finally getting back to normal to where i can write a normal well thought out blog post. I would like to start out this post by talking a little bit about Ryan and I. A couple weeks ago i made the heartbreaking post that we were calling it quiets after three long  years together and one year of marriage. I will say that it wasn't my choice but i respected his wishes and tried as hard as i could to hold up to it. Needless to say after we both had some time to calm down and think about things we started talking again and slowly started working things out to where we could find a common ground and have that compromise. I will be the first to tell you that we are back together and we are trying our hardest to work things out since he has finally realized a lot of things. On another positive note i had a job interview on Thursday with garden ridge one of my favorite stores of all time and they are running my background check and they are suppose to be getting back to me today to follow up on it. I really hope i get this job because that will put Ryan and I on the fast track to paying off bills and moving out! It will also feel great to start working again and they are very flexible so i can now go back to school too! I really hope things work out for the better this time i have really been praying over it and im hoping this is in my plan.

Here are a few inspirations for our home when we get it. I can't wait!

i want to find a way to do that to our pantry door (its so cute!)



i cant wait to start decorating!

These People Make This Transition So Much Easier : )

The past two weeks have been pretty hard for me adjusting to everything and seperating stuff etc. I can update you all and tell you im doing better each and everyday and today just reminded me of the amazing friends i have. I started off the day by going to walmart with an old friend i haven't seen in so long! It was so nice to catch up and talk about whats been going on etc. Then i made dinner pot roast with mashed potatoes and steam veggies and then went to the park/river with this totally cute boy and some other friends and sat around and talked about old times and new times while they were fishing and guess what? I learned to fish today haha. Today just reminded me of the amazing friends i have. I love spending time with them and im sure we all have alot more memories to come : )


I Love This Boy He's My Bestie :D

From Mrs. To Miss. The Journey Begins.

That will be my new blog name. I have done a lot of thinking the past few days and have decided im not going to dwell on the past anymore. I have a bright future ahead of me and if i dwell all im doing is holding myself back. I have finally come up with a plan of action and can't wait to get started on it. I'm slowly dealing with the feelings and holding nothing back, they say its not good to keep things in like this. What he did was inexcusable but it has only made me stronger and i have learned from my mistakes. It really helps a lot when you have a great support system of family, friends and other loved ones. I'm going to overcome this one day at a time. Let the Healing Begin

This is so true " Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together."

This Totally Made My Night : )

A wise friend told me this the other night and it has really stuck to me so i thought id share : )

Me- "How did i get mixed up with such crazy friends?"
Brandie "i cant tell you that one
Taz- "No, You didn't get mixed up with us, its like cotton candy, Your the stick and you just got stuck in and swirled around and we just stuck to you"

So now cotton candy has a whole new meaning to me : )

Its that time again!

Battle Of The Winter Pounds!
(here is a cartoon to brighten it up)


Its time as winter is slowly going away. I wish i could say its almost gone but its starting to get there. With spring and summer coming soon we all know what that means, shorts, skirts, tank tops, flip flops etc. Along with the regular pedicures and new clothes shopping there are the dreaded bathing suits. If your anything like me during the winter you become a little less active and just want to hibernate and don't exactly watch what you eat you can put on some pounds. So im starting early this year and im battling the winter bulge! I don't have an EXACT diet plan but im taking meals from different ones and combining them like i did last time and it seems to be working. My FAVORITE recipes right now are coming from the biggest loser cookbooks. They are so good and taste just like the normal meal without sacrificing. I also love love love the cook yourself then cookbook. As for my exercise im going to take a different approach starting out with the 30 day shred and then doing different workout videos since they seem to motivate me more! My goal is to lose 30 pounds by the time we go to Florida in august or at least feel comfortable to get into a bathing suit! Wish me luck!
