Blessed Beyond Belief
I feel very blessed to have the friends and family I have as well, who read my silly posts and support me in all of my endeavors.
If anyone is interested in having a Mary Kay Facial Party with the theme of their choice let me know, I am looking to expand my business and grow. My time, unfortunately, is limited because of my day job but we can arrange a time that meets both of our hectic schedules! Mary Kay has blessed me with an opportunity that I will not give up on and given me amazing and encouraging people in my life that have been such a positive force for me.
I AM JUST BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF!

STORIES TO LAUGH ABOUT
So this got me thinking about all of the other silly or strange things that we have experienced together as a couple over the years.
For your reading pleasure and hopefully a good laugh I have listed them below in no particular order other than the order they came to me as I sit here. There are a million more but here are a couple highlights.
The carpet deodorizer story (above).
When Jason and I first started dating we were joking around on the couch and he pinned me and and sat on me and accidentally farted. He froze and we both just started laughing and it took me a bit to get over it.
While I was pregnant (18 weeks pregnant) Jason was involved in playing flag football. His team was awesome and went to state championships in Columbus. After being sick with morning sickness that lasted morning, noon, and night, I went to his game and sat by myself on the sidelines in a bag chair. Much to my surprise I ended up with two guys from the other team tackling me in effort to catch the football. I was thrown backwards hard and flipped from my chair. I had the wind knocked out of me and was shaken up but I was fine. They stopped the game and I had the whole team yelling "she's pregnant!!!" as they ran over to me to see if I am ok. They called the ambulance that had to drive over other fields that were being played on to get to me. They told me they could take me if I wanted but if anything was wrong with the baby at 18 weeks they couldn't do anything. I made the choice not to go and after we realized the baby was ok we laughed about it. Only me. Only I would have that kind of luck.
There is the time that I went to throw the Frisbee to the dog and Jason was standing behind me and I must not have let go at the right time and it flew back and hit him in the head.
The time Makayla was screaming bloody murder because I was leaving for work and Jason was trying to calm her down but I ended up just having to run out the door and I was already running late. We had had a fire in the driveway the night before (because that is how us hillbillies do it) and I never even thought to move it. I gunned it out of the garage and smoked the fire pit. I was late for work so I pulled up a little and backed around it leaving it in the driveway. That was a fun conversation on the way to work.
Jason was out of town on one of his hunting trips and my dad was over visiting. I had to run down to the basement for something and my body must have been moving faster than my feet or vice versa because I fell down the stairs and broke 3 toes. My dad from the living room yelled "are you alright?" Never got up. Not a bad father, Jason would have done the same thing. It's a man thing.
There was also the time I was cleaning out the dormer at the old house and I was taking an old heavy 1980's computer monitor out to the trash in the garage. I was wearing slip on sandals and the back step was wet and I went flying off the back deck. I threw the monitor just in time to land on my stomach flat down in the back yard. My husband and my neighbor were both in the garage and neither heard me or came to my rescue until my neighbor happen to catch a glimpse of me getting up.
Needless to say I am not very graceful and I don't have very good luck. They make for some great stories and some great laughs!!!!Makes more sense now why Makayla is as clumsy as she is. Poor girl....she is in for some pain, some laughs, and some good stories to tell.

Pregnant
I think with turning 30 this year I am starting to have a mid midlife crisis. I am not running out and buying cars or motorcycles or going to the bar every night pretending I am 21 again but I am questioning all of my important life decisions and re-evaluating things that are important to me. And I seem to be in this hurry to get all of it figured out. It's as if I all of sudden grew up. But I moved out on my own when I was 18 and have had my own bills for a long time now. I have been married for awhile and Makayla is 2 so it's not like anything major just happened to make me feel like this. I litterally can't shut my brain off. I am always thinking about a ton of stuff going on in my life right now. Why is turning 30 such a big deal? Five years ago I gave my husband a hard time about turning 30 and I just kept saying it's just a number. It's not a big deal, your not old or anything. But he really struggled with it and now that I am starting to struggle with it I feel like I was super unsupportive to him.
I never really had a life plan like some people do but I feel like I have done a lot of the things that are important to me like finding my soul mate and starting my own family. This year more than ever I have also committed myself to my favorite charity more than I have ever in the past. In doing so I have met some amazing people. Jason is also making one of my dreams come true the week of my birthday and he is taking me to NYC. I already knew this would be a big year for me because of the big birthday but this may be a life changing year for me. We will see how it all plays out but I see lots more in my future.............stay tuned.

The Grand Tour of My New House!!
Let's start with the front of the house. Welcome!
And the back of the house.......
The front room...
The living room....
The other spare bedroom and upstairs hallway.....
We have a basement as well that is mostly finished. Walls and carpet are done but it still needs a drop ceiling. We use it as a huge playroom for Miss Makayla and there is a huge sectional down there that works well for lounging or extra sleeping spots for guests. So that's our new place!! We are super excited about it and obviously not all of the way done with decorating but well on our way. It feels like home and there is plenty of room for our family to grow whenever that time comes. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!!
