Is this really the beginning?

So I have had this blog for awhile now and its been sitting here blank ; "theres nothing here" as it tells me every time I sign it.  Throughout the day I think, OH! I should share that but when I come here to write, I draw a blank, like everything thats going on could be condensed in 3 words.  I come here because I want to share make up tips, step mom feelings, MOM stress and reality, my sweet animals, married life, and healthy living.  Since this is the first blog, let me introduce my family and myself.

Josh- handsome husband :)

Gracie- 8 year old step daughter

Evie- 2 year old daughter

Mac- shih poo (mix of shih tzu + poodle)

Zoie- pregnant mini pony

Sage- baby daddy mini pony

2 chickens and counting

Megan- ME! I moved from KS to MO (the middle of nowhere) when I married my husband.  I have lost 78 lbs in 8 months with exercise and diet but I have done this in the past and haven't been able to keep it off.  I will talk about everything listed in the top paragraph but I will focus mainly on my journey to a healthier life. Thanks for the support in advance :)

2 week liquid diet

Happy anniversary

Josh is the kind of guy that you know the ladies look at but he doesn't know that.  He doesn't talk some  big game and when he was trying to win me over, he didn't use lines and sexual harassment to do it.  He has big thoughts but isn't one to tell you he is right and you are wrong; he likes digging into things and finding out WHY.  He has the biggest smile and when he gets excited about something he does little jigs or waves his hands in the air.  Josh cares what people think of him so I like to think that one of my purposes here is to teach him not to or at least care a little less (we are getting there.)  I stare at him A LOT, I love when he wears his hat backwards, he makes a simple white t-shirt look sexy as hell, and his lips are soo soft.  He makes me really mad a lot of the time but at the end of the day, I wouldn't trade him for the world. Josh is unbelievably handsome  a hard worker always willing to help others a j...

It's the most wonderful time of the year

November 1st means CHRISTMAS DECORATING!!! I love everything about Christmas.  I especially love the lights and the music so I put lights all over the inside of my house while listening to Mariah Carey in the background.  My favorite is waking up before everybody (maybe not Evie) and the only light being the Christmas tree; its magical.  Then of course comes the first snow and this year it was a little more special because I get to see it all through Evie's eyes.  Although she calls everything a snowman (she is confused and I can't wait for her to really see a snowman) she is so EXCITED about it all.  When I turned on the Christmas lights she squealed and cheered because last year she was just too little to really care or get it.  Then, when I turned on the carousel that plays Christmas songs, she got the biggest smile on her face and stood up clapping and dancing, and then yesterday, as the snow fell and covered the ground, she would get up every so often ...
