Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes!

So....Instead of telling this big ole story about what's been happening, I'll just show you pictures.

So, I won a free make-over. It was like "what not to wear"-I had to give them control of everything! They waxed by brows, did my make-up, and colored and cut my hair (that's why the first picture looks so scary, NO MAKEUP!). It happened like three weeks ago, and just recently, I have started to like it. I actually think it was because I was in shock-I had 14 inches cut off (and donated!) and it's grown about a half-inch. I can finally put it in a tiny baby pony. :) So, let me know what you think....!

Update....

So, I love my jobs.

It's so great. I see Ryan ALL THE TIME. It feels like the time that we both dropped out of college for a semester (Yes, we both dropped out. We were super burned out and life was not going the way we planned and we needed a break to figure out what was going on). Today, I got to clean and make dinner and sleep in AND see Ryan this afternoon. Life is pretty good right now. :)

With Valentine's Day being on monday, and I have to work this weekend, I decided to figure out what Ry and I are going to do. We like to do something as a couple rather than he buy me chocolate and flowers and that's it. So, we decided that I'm going to make Ryan dinner (I have an awesome menu planned!) and he's going to take me to a movie (I think Gnomeo and Juliet. I love animated movies and gnomes....haha). It should be a fun V-Day! What are your plans for the day?

30 DBC- Day 25

*Your day-in great detail*

This challenge is getting a little stalkerish...first asking general questions about me, now it's asking where I live and my day in detail. But, because I love you guys, I will comply...

7:00- Wake up
7:45- Leave for work
8:00- Arrive at work and start playing with Matt and Tyler (the boys I nanny)
8:30- Matt leaves for school (he walks) and Ty and I (after giving him breakfast) go downstairs to play, destroy and watch 'clus-clus' (Blue's Clues)
11:45- Feed Ty lunch
12:15- NAP TIME (for me too...:) )
3:30- Get Ty up from nap, my lunch time and prepare for Matt coming home
3:50- Matt is home, snack for him and Ty, homework time.
4:30 Entertain Matt and keep Ty happy too!
5:30- The dad gets home, say goodbye for the day and go home to Toby (Ry and I work exact opposite shifts, including weekends!)
6:00- Let Toby out, play with him, get myself dinner and veg out/run errands/do crafts/clean/whatever else
11:00- Ry gets home! Warm up leftovers for him, he eats and then we spend time together!
1:30- Bed Time for me and Toby!

As you can see, I don't really have a 'normal' schedule, and this is fine with me, except not seeing my husband. I can't stand this most days, it makes me so sad. So, I was going to tell you guys on FRIDAY, but, this post needs a happy ending.....



















I GOT A NEW JOB!
:) Actually-I got two!

This is bittersweet, but it will be a good thing in the end. I will be working more of Ryan's schedule, and I can go back to school to finish my degree! Friday is my last day, and I start my new one on saturday! I am so excited for this opportunity to grow, and I know good things are going to come.


So, do you guys wanna know where I'm working?

Let me start at the beginning...About a month ago, Ry and I sat down and re-evaluated our 'future' plan. This meant me getting a new job so I could go back to school (as you can see, I really couldn't with the hours I'm working). So, the job search started. I told the people I nanny for and they started looking for a  new girl. A week later, I had an interview and they had scheduled a 'working interview' with a girl they liked. On Monday, I come back to work to find out that they had offered the girl a job, and she was starting in two weeks. Which means I don't have a job in two weeks. Shoot. So after calling Ryan (who had been telling me to pray and pray some more about it and give it up to God truly) and talking to him and praying with him, I felt better.  That night, I get a call saying that they were going to offer me the job! :) YEA! They were only offering me very, very part time, but something is better than nothing!
So since I got this job, I figured I would settle in and find another very part time job so the two combined would meet our income needs. Well, the next day, I receive another phone call from a place I applied to last year! They offer me an interview that night, and then offer me a job on the spot! I'm so happy as I write this! God knew, and all I had to do was give it up to Him. So, without making you wait any longer I am now....

An associate at Bath and Body Works

How much fun is this going to be?!?
I can't wait...

Hi Friends!
Can you believe that the last time I posted was in NOVEMBER? This is not ok.
I have missed everyone so much. We have had tons of internet issues lately, and it seems that whenever I have a moment, it's out. But not today! :)

Instead of going through the last few weeks, I'll just start with the recent.

-Side note: I have waited a long, long time to tell you guys about Toby (see previous post). We actually got Toby the second week in august, a few days before my birthday actually. So, he's pretty big now, still terribly adorable though!-

My baby

(Toby is a Pomchi, incase anyone was wondering. He's such a joy and I could not imagine my life without him!)

So, anyways, last weekend we went to pick out our first Christmas Tree! How exciting! :) Here are the photos!

Toby now! He's so big...but he looks so spiffy in his new coat!

We go every year to this random guy's house. He has a sign out by the road and you drive into his backyard and cut down our own tree.

That's our tree in the back! It's small, but perfect.

Merry Christmas!

*Updates!*

Hello Friends!

Sorry I've been MIA lately...if it makes you feel better I think about you guys all the time! Here's a quick post to catch everyone up on recent activities!

-I've been sewing. A LOT! I made pillows and curtains and have many future plans for Christmas presents (PJ pants and a woobie for the boys I nanny), Christmas bunting with a matching table runner and more decorative stuff for our home.

-I've also been wedding scrapbooking. I originally ordered all the wedding photos (our photographer just gave us a CD so I've been snapfishing the photos for 9 cents a print! SCORE!) in color, but then decided to do a scrapbook album in all black and white with my sangria to accent. It's going to look super classy and awesome.  I have plans to do a honeymoon album as well, but just haven't gotten around to doing it yet! It's going to look sweet though! (p.s. I just realized that I never shared photos of our honeymoon with you except for one, measly post! This must change soon!)

-I have a surprise for you guys! I'm not preggo so don't even think that, but it's almost just as good! Stay tuned and MONDAY you will find out! :)
