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

How Was Your Day Today?

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 Is Starting Over...

Its official me and Ryan are getting a divorce. I know this has been brought up in the past but we have tried to work it out and its just not happening. I dont want to go into sorted details but this is the beginning of my healing process. wish me luck guys : )


New Blog Design Coming Soon

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!

Another Update

Things have been really busy and crazy these past couple days and i haven't had time to update my blog. I want to start out by delivering some very long awaited news, Ryan got his CDL last friday and got his diploma on monday. Today he went to the dmv and got his tanker endorsment so he can begin looking for a job. Although he doesn't have his federal yet that means he can stay here in the state of Georgia. I dont know if i should call myself selfish for saying this but i really am glad that he is going to be able to get him a local job and doesn't have to go over the road. Maybe this will be he start to better things for us and now its my turn to further my education but i can't do it in three weeks like him. I haven't been feeling to well lately and Ryan just got over being sick and now i think im coming down with it too. I really hope not i hate it when i get sick because when i do it hits me hard. Hope i get to feeling better soon and for now im going to sign off and try to do some reading and get some rest.

Hope your having a great week.

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!!!!

Last night me and ryan celebrated our valentines day in fear of the roads being to bad here to drive on and of course today they were fine but things were still good last night. We started off the night planning to go to outback for a nice dinner but were disappointed when they told us they didn't have our reservation i made two weeks ahead of time and it was a 2 hour wait to get in so we wound up at ihop instead but it was still a nice dinner. Afterwards we went to petsmart and target while waiting for our 9:55 movie and picked up a few things. After that we were off to the movies to see When In Rome and i must say it was a really funny movie. I think i probably could of waited until it came out on DVD but it was still a good movie and we both enjoyed our night :)


On another positive note i fount my camera charger so there will be better pictures coming soon : )


How are you spending your valentines day??

We Are People Who Dont Like To Wait!

I want to start off by first saying how hard it is to go shopping for your husband for valentines day! I always knew what to buy Ryan but this year i was drawing a blank. I walked all through the mall in and out of stores and just couldn't find anything until i saw it, The Sunglass Hut. Then it hit me, Ryan had a pair of Oakley sunglasses when we first met and he had them for about 2 years before he lost them and never bought another pair. Well lately he had been talking about wanting another pair but never followed through with anything so i took this opportunity to get them for him. Now to tell you the meaning behind the title, when me and ryan buy each other gifts we dont like to wait to give them to the other one. Im suprised at how well we did at christmas. So a week early we exchanged our gifts for Valentines Day and im in LOVE with mine : )

He got me this watch and bracelet set : )

and he got his Oakley sunglasses : )
