Introducing me





Hi guys!  It is a great Sunday to be alive!  I have just been feeling so upbeat and excited to get whatever I can done.  It feels like I am nesting but not for a baby this time, nesting for surgery.  I won't be staying at my house for a couple of days after surgery (leaving a husband and child there) and then when I do come home my mom is coming with me to help clean up the house so I want to have everything clean before she comes to clean...you know what I am mean??  I also have been decluttering EVERYTHING.  Every cabinet, under the stairs, in all the rooms, every tote, the closets, I mean you name it and I have probably cleaned it.  Josh has been helping a lot too so we are GETTING  IT  DONE!  I am going to be making them frozen meals to use a little before surgery and the rest after surgery so I have been gathering those products and making list and checking them twice; I just feel ready....for everything.  I will share later some of the stuff I prepare for them.



So, last night, I received all of my backdrops and my backdrop holder and I wasn't going to make my fist YouTube video until December 6th but after doing some thinking and getting some encouragement from Josh, I went ahead and did a little hello video just to get some content up.  It is so strange to sit in front of a camera in a room all by yourself and just talk but I feel a little better about it now that I have got the first one out of the way.  I HOPE that I get more comfortable and I can just talk to the camera, hopefully you guys, just like I am talking to an old friend.  It wasn't as strange to see myself or hear myself as I thought it was going to be but Josh definitely thought I looked different on screen so you will all have to go watch and let me know!



Another thing, I have been using a Fitbit and no not a fancy fitbit charge or whatever is out these days, just the typical fitbit flex.  Like the one that doesn't even have a screen....just some flashing lights haha.  I dig it though!  It syncs to my phone and it tracks my steps and my sleep and thats all I really wanted.  I did kind of want it to track my heart beat just for the hell of it but oh well.  Having it on and knowing it is tracking your movement is such motivation.  It is supposed to blink at me every hour to make sure I am moving but I haven't even paid attention to it because like I said earlier in the post,  I am up cleaning everything and have been just going non stop since I put it on so its a win in my book.  Speaking of being up, I have really been thinking about getting a standing desk at work.  I sit at my desk a lot at the beginning of each month and am in a tiny office so it seems like the right thing to do to stay moving.  Let me know if you have one and what you think about it.  I heard one time that sitting for the majority of your life can kill you faster than any disease and it doesn't really make since to get this surgery to save my life but then continue sitting all day long...ya know!?

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 ...
