It's Been Over a YEAR!!

Last I wrote, I had just moved into my current rental and was getting ready to start an temp job that turned out to be a complete and utter nightmare and end as quick as it began! Thankfully, not a month later I was able to find what is my current job and I can proudly say I have been working out for over a year now with potentials of a promotion and raise! (More details to follow, I don't want to jinx myself just yet, so if you are reading this, please send out all the positive vibes, say a prayer, lots of love and care as this girl could use the boost! Not only would this job be a great step in the right direction for me and my career, it would also put me back on a schedule that I painfully crave to have as my current schedule is a nightmare! Don't get me wrong, my job is good and pay AMAZING...Buuuuttt...The hours are ever changing from day-to-day and week-to-week that its hard to have anything of a life much less see my hubby who is working a lot of hours as well. This would put me back to a stable Monday-Friday 9-5 sort of gig with my weekends free again. It would give me back a life and something of normality. Trying not to put a lot of pressure and hopes on this position, but it would mean soo many positive changes for me the hubby! I'll keep you all (all three of you! haha!) posted. The other big news is that with the way things are going, we are looking at buying a house now! Well, re-state, we ARE buying a house the offer was put in and accepted. All we are waiting for now is the general regime that comes with applying for mortgages, etc. But we are SUPER stoked! Been a long 3 yrs and things seem to finally be looking the right way for us in a lot of different departments. So it only seemed right that a home would fall in line too! We are hoping to move in it come June. I'm really excited about it all. Possibilities of the job, a home that I can finally call "my own". MY very own special place, the place where I can decorate with my style, my fashion, my treasures. Its our first home together as well which really excites me. I don't know how to explain it, but it almost feels like a deepening of our marriage and relationship together...Perhaps because it's a further tie/bond together that this will bring? Aside from that, this year I have really been suffering a lot from the emotional "blahs". I'm sure it's just being tired and shutting down from all the mental and physical stress and craziness that has been my work and personal life lately. But it's really made me lazy and unmotivated. I tend to be a busy body and lately, all I have wanted to do is shut down and just be a couch potato (which I have) instead of deal with the daily things that should and need to be done (i.e. daily meditations and prayers, exercise). I have promised myself that today was my last day to be a bum and to embrace and enjoy it as tomorrow if a fresh start on to a new path. Perhaps this is the start of me establishing my goals for 2014? OK here are my goals! 1. get back into shape! Exercise and yoga daily! 2. Back to meditating, praying and studying my Bible! I'm much more balance person when spiritual parts are intact. 3. Finishing saving up all the monies needed for my new house and move! Not far left to go! 4. Get a promotion and raise! I CAN do this! 5. Get my British Citizenship as this is the year I can. 6. Pay off one debt this year. I don't care which one of the student loans or credit card, but that bitch is going down! ;) 7. Enjoy more moments, exciting or quiet, in life. I don't do that enough right now and I need to. 2014 baby! I'm going to make this MY year! Live, Laugh, Love.

Do you think I'm a fool?

Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...

Annual Update!

So I am the queen at updating this blog once a year! I don't mean to neglect, but it's just been so busy for me! Life certainly keeps me on my toes these days! Big events that are worth noting for the past year: -Bought a house! It's a lovely three bedroom detached house that I can call my own, hide in to get away from the world. Decorate any way I want and fill with love! I couldn't be happier here and have really settled in well! -Got a dog! He's a year old now and named Mack. Mack is a gorgeous black lab puppy with the most loving personality and the energy of 20 kids hyped up on sugar! He is the sweetest and most exhausting little guy, but he is my baby! Here is my warning for when you visit: Beware of dog, he does not hold licker well! Haha! I love that he makes me a more active person. I walk him daily and play with him when I would probably otherwise just sit on my backside and watch TV. So he's awesome all around. -I am officially a UK CITIZEN!!! Wh...

Things I love About My New Home!

Right! So last post I told you the top 5 things I loved/missed in the U.S. today, I feel that it is a great time to tell you about all the things I love about my new home! (It will be more than 5 things...and not in any particular order as today I just don't have the energy!) Here we go! 1. The history! It literally can be seen everywhere! From the old building structures to displayed artefacts, there are signs of England's history and culture everywhere! I can't wait to see more! 2. Believe it or not, the food! I have tried so many amazing different foods from different cultures that I have become quite fond of! 3. On the few days that there is sun shining brilliantly in the sky (especially in the spring), the colours here are the most brilliant and vivid I think I have ever seen! It is absolutely fantastic and t takes your breath away! 4. Let's talk affordable amazing wine!....Enough said! 5. Let's talk affordable amazing beer...Enough said! 6. Travel ...
