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.

Little "mini-ventures" to make time pass!

So, I haven't had anything going on which has been the reason for no new updating posts, but I have been contemplating things that I want to do before I leave the states and start my new adventure! (Plus, I want something to talk about!!) So one mini-venture I thought I would get started is maybe (and I KNOW this is cliche'!): Losing a few pounds! (I just heard a million sighs and groans! LOL!) I have gained a little in the last couple months because of my food intake and well, I NEED to fit into that wedding dress! So, I'm praying to lose at least 5 pounds in the next 2 months (if not quicker!) and 10-15 by the time we do our honeymoon! SO, wish me luck and I will keep you updated on the progress! (This officially starts tomorrow by the way!) The 2nd idea I had was to start some sort of video blog to post to this as well just for fun or to show surroundings, etc! I was working on the idea tonight, but couldn't figure out how to work my hp mediasmart programs! LOL!

STILL Waiting!!!

UGHHH!!!! This is torture!! How long must I endure the painful wait?? (Please no comments of it "building character"....I DON'T CARE!!) I'm just very anxious! I thought I would be there by now and I'm finding myself stuck in the land of "what if?"...By this I mean questions that cause me to worry like "What if it got lost in the mail??", "What if they are taking so long because they are going to say no??", "What if it takes many months more to get my approval??"...etc! It's all stressful! I only have so much money to stretch out to a certain point! So, my fear is that I will run out of funding and need to get a temp job to make ends meet and Dave will have to pick up my slack more...*pout!* I don't know if my paperwork is coming via normal snail mail or certified mail, UPS, etc. and my biggest worry is that it gets lost! I have tried to remind myself that I DID receive the letter stating that it would take them 5-1

I'm Officially Married!!

Phew! What a wonderful past week! My heart is glowing and there's a permanent grin on my face today! I can't remember what I've posted in the past (I didn't look) so I will start with last Friday! Logically, I've been itching to make some friends and Friday night the one girl friend that I have right now invited me to go out with her and two others for a night in the town! Though they said it wasn't the best of all nights out there, I had a great time! One, because I was out with people and not alone! Two, because it was interesting to view the people and get a sense of things and so forth. It was just refreshing to get out and feel a part of something! Our wedding ceremony went great! Before the ceremony, we invited everyone over to the apartment for mimosa's (I didn't have any, I was too busy running around trying to get ready!) then we went off the the registrar office to have the ceremony, which I thought for a small short ceremony that it went
