As I sit here and think that in just 2 more months, Sean & I will be celebrating our first year of marriage. HOLY. COW. Where has the time gone? Seriously though, it feels like yesterday I was walking done the aisle to meet my other half. This year has brought tons of bear hugs, kisses, belly laughs, some tears, some anxiety(like how were going to pay ALL of our bills, seriously, its not even right). But most of all, this past year has brought us even closer than before. I have learned so much more about him, and him about me. Like he now knows that if we start watching a movie at 9pm, I WILL fall asleep after the opening credits, and I learned that he sleeps in the most ridiculous positions known to man kind. This morning I found his head in the middle of our queen size bed, wrapped like a caterpillar and his feet halfway off the bed, I mean really? That cannot be comfortable.
He learned that I hate to cook, and that baking is the only way to go. Cookies for dinner? Of course.
But after 4 years together, 1 year engaged and now almost 1 year married, I love him more than anything in this entire world. Even more than red M&Ms, and that says a lot.
We have been through so much together, and at the beginning of our marriage, I had a lot of health issues that scared us both. We made it through that, just like we will make it through everything else. Life with him is perfection. That is only word I can use to explain our relationship with each other and with life.
Now we get to share that love and perfection with a little puppy that loves us so much. It is funny how having a puppy prepares you for children. In the past 3 weeks, I have learned more about dog poop than I would ever like to know. Learned about vaccinations, worms(gross) and puppy vomit(again, gross). But he is such a little angel. I honestly cannot wait to have children. But I can wait, if you catch my drift. :)
Happy Weekend Everyone!

Blessings....
Do you ever have those days where you come home from an awful day at work, and the only thing you want to do is lay down, put covers over your head and lay in pure silence because you think you cannot take it anymore??
Yesterday I had one of those days...
As I walked into the house after what felt like the longest 8 hour day ever, I see my husband, my puppy, be lazy, and I got this huge smile on my face. I felt for once in my life, at complete peace. I felt calm. I felt so safe. I felt strong. I felt independent. I said to myself, I love my life. I thought to myself that no matter what bad things happen during the day, I have this to come home to.
Sean had the biggest grin on his face, and said "Look Oscar, look who is home, it's mama." Hearing those words come out of his mouth made my heart skip a beat. How does he always manage to make my heart still pound after 5 years? Mama. Just then, I had thought, how wonderful it will be to have children with this man. To have him say that to a child as I walk into the door. To hear those words, it made my day. For the first time in my entire life, I felt at peace.
As a newly wed, I hear the "So when are you going to try to start having kids" sentence about 20 times a day. Does this surprise you? Whenever I hear others ask me this question, I feel half sick to my stomach, nervous, clammy, and pretty sure I turn green. Having kids? NOW? My answer in my head is "OH GOD NO". But I always manage to say "It has only been 9 months, I'd like to enjoy being a newly wed for some time longer, before we bring a child into our lives." Sounds mature enough, even though inside my head I am screaming and gasping for air, and teaching myself to breathe, as if I already didn't know how.
When Sean said the word "Mama" I turned to a complete puddle of mush. I felt calm, and suddenly the thought didn't scare me half as bad as when others would ask about it. When Sean smiles at me, or we talk about baby names, or talk about the future it NEVER scares me. Sean has this way of making me calm, and saying all the right things, and he doesn't even know he does it.
Grant it, I am still aware Sean was talking to our puppy Oscar, and not a child, but someday...someday..
For right now though, Oscar is our child. He does everything a child would do(sometimes even more) and trust me, we are both completely worn out as he does keep us on our toes. But we love him so much.

The True Meaning of the word, Friend....
In the past couple of months I have made some serious changes in my life. Very positive, good changes I might add.
I have noticed that friends that I have had forever, or friends I had recently met were in every way, shape and form trying to bring me down, push me around, and all in all, compete with me. If they were my friend at all, they should already know that I am the least competitive person on this earth.
When my friends get new cars, new jobs, get engaged, get married, have babies, I am beyond excited for them. But when this happens to me, friends seem to get angry with me, drop me, and act like "Oh I will beat her first". I will buy that brand new house and have a kid and do everything before she will".
Please help me understand the reason to compete and just be happy for your friend. There is no reason to try to "One up" someone every time.
I spoke with the only person I can trust about anything, my husband, on this topic and asked his advice. He kept saying to hold my head up high and not let competitive friends bother me. He said "Your 24 years old, your successful, your busy, and you don't have time to put up with friends who backstab you, or try to put you down for things you never did.
I finally came to the realization that he was indeed, correct! I didn't have time to put up with high school like drama. I am a married women, I do not need this.
A couple of months ago, I decided I was going to sell Mary Kay and become self employed for a part time job and still keep my full time job. I didn't realize how much it would change my life and for the better. I currently made top sales for last week, and I have met some amazing women who are all about being there for you. Were happy for each other. Happy when we make a large sale, happy when one of our girls buys her first home, has her first baby, gets engaged, husband comes home safe and sound from Iraq, etc. Were always there for one another. No Jealously. No Bull. Just plan excited for everyone and happy to be friends with every one of those beautiful women.
Mary Kay has indeed changed my life. God knew this was His plan for me.
Thank you God for surrounding me with friends who actually care about everyone and care about me. I am truly blessed to know each of these women.
They are what a true friend really is.
I said goodbye to high school drama and said hello to adult life.
So far, Adult life wins!

What She Wore....
Hello Again! It has been awhile!
I am consistantly seeing those blogs of "What She Wore" and find them very interesting for women. Specially for those of us who feel they lack in fashion sense. I believe all women feel they lack in fashion sense when they really don't. I know if there is one thing I lack, it is not fashion sense.
I have a passion for fashion <--yes, that sounded just as lame out loud as it did reading it.
My fashion sense is different then everyone elses. Sometimes I swear if I see a girl wearing Ugg boots with leggings and a North Face I may throw up. I won't lie, I own a North Face, and leggings, but I don't wear them because EVERY women on planet earth is, I wear them because there comfortable. In my opinion there are too many followers when it comes to fashion and wardrobes. Be yourself. Have your own style. My style is very vintage. 1940s to 1950s. I do own contemperary items as well of course, but I do enjoy my Jackie Kennedy dresses, hats and sunglasses every now and again. Fashion is like music. When you hear a contemporary song, you think "Yes, good beat." Then you hear the lyrics and you think, "What happened with the world"? Why is every song about sex and women? The you hear a 1940s song by Etta James, and you know she was talking about true love when she sings "I'll be seeing you". (My ultimate favorite).
Same with clothes. Some outfits women wear today are saying "You know you want it, so I am asking for it". While others are prim, proper, and stylish even if you are a little behind in your years.
Call me an old soul, but there is nothing like a pencil dress, floppy hat, big sunglasses and hair in a bun.
Teach your daughter that yes, men do find it sexy when a women knows her body, and knows how to dress. Most of the time, leggings and the North Face are not going to pull it off.
Enjoy these links of some of my favorites!
