3 am

I have been sickly lately. (which if you know me, it's nothing new) So NO I am not pregnant, trust me I'll probably be bed ridden when that happens, and NO I don't know what is wrong with me. My babes (Dexter) has been sickly too, so we have been sleeping all day for the last 2 days. So now we are up at 3am watching.... Keeping up with the Kardashians, Sex in The City, and now Alice in Wonderland. And of course I'm a multi-tasker, so I am also surfing blog sites and playing on Pinterest. Really I'm wishing my sleeping pills will kick in so I can go join my Hubby in dream world.

But since I'm up I'll post some random things.

did you know that.....

The divorce rate in America for first marriage, vs second or third marriage: 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce, according to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional 

Psychology in Springfield, Missouri.

So at least I have a chance!! :) ha. My second and LAST marriage has been amazing! To say the least. I am one LUCKY woman! If you know my husband then you know what I'm talking about. Anyone that gets to know him knows how.... INCREDIBLE he is. I could go on, but I know I can ramble on about this subject so I'll stop now.

I'm Loving these blogs right now..

you should go check them out. They are amazing and inspirational. goodnight

hair oh hair!

So I decided after going to college and working in a good field for 2 years that I would finally get a better career and do something I love. That thing was hair. Who would of thought that I would be doing hair for a career and loving it?? So I left my crappy  uneventful life in St. George and went up to Provo to go to hair school. Right before I left St. George I met my husband. (story on that later.) So it worked out real well that this man lived in Provo, cause I sure did like him.
So started my journey through hair school. I honestly thought it would be a breeze! But going to school with all girls,( and the occasional man) was hard! And standing all day was something I wasn't use to. But I made amazing friends that will be dear to my heart forever! And I got a great education ( I think.)
So here comes the time that I need to find a job, at least according to my husband I should find one. I was FINE staying home all day with my pups. :) It took me about 2 1/2 months to get the courage to even go out and give people resumes.(I've been out of school since Feb 2nd.) And once I did, I went to all the wrong places. Meaning they didn't have the program I wanted or they just didn't fit my style. After a couple weeks went by I finally got the nerve to go in to the places where I REALLY wanted a job. And guess what, they called and gave me interviews! Weird right!?? So I have had one interview at one place and the other place has given me the opportunity to give me TWO interviews, in which one was an audition that I had to bring 3 live models too. Man oh man it was nerve racking! It was a great experience and I'm glad I got to have an interview like that. And whether or not they call me back, it was a great experience for me to have. But wish me luck! Cause as much as I like hanging out with Dexter ALL DAY! I would really like to do that thing that I love and get makin some money!!!

So.... it's basically a place to store all of your ideas from online. 

I found a great PINTEREST TUTORIAL from Beth at home stories A to Z. She describes it perfectly!

new blog

So since I've been married for 9 months, I figured I would start a new blog with my new name. We have been up to so much since I last posted. I haven't posted for so long that I forgot how to do anything on here!
I wanted to start a new blog so I can have a better way to have a journal of our lives, I figured this is the easiest way to do it. Plus I don't think anyone really follows my blog so it will be just for us.

I love being married and living in Salt Lake. There's so much to do here and everything is so close! our front yard includes Cafe Rio, Panda Express, Target and just across the street from that there is Chipotle, Red Mango, and a whole lot more! It's wondrous!!  We love the people that live near us... well minus the upstairs neighbors that have a dog that barks like CRAZY when they aren't home (we still love you guys though) and the person that is up at 3 a.m. knocking on the railing waking me up! Oh and the people that leave their dogs crap laying out there, so my dog can go lick it and lets not forget the guy that smokes on his patio and leaves his butts on the grass... BUT other than that we love where we live. Ha, but really its a great place to live. We love our ward, even the old people. They are fun to have around. We wish we hung out with the young couples in the ward more.
Since We have been married I have finished hair school, we got a dog, we have had MANY weddings in the family and have had great times with both of our families. (pictures to follow)
I have also been trying to find a job, slowly.... and have had alot of time to be at home with our puppy. He is very spoiled! But I got to teach him to be a good puppy and he listens very well (except when little kids are around)  Dexter can sit and lay and knows "kennel" real well. He rings a bell by the door to let us know when he needs to go outside to go potty. Once we are out there when we say"go potty" he will do his duty and we can go back inside. What a great puppy huh!! ya my dog is better than yours :)
So we have had alot of fun this past year and can't wait for the summer to be here!

 dexter broke his foot. He had to wear a splint for 5 weeks. :( surprisingly he walked just fine, if not better with it!

 We have a monthly game night with some couples every month. We have so much fun at these!

So there you go. In a nut shell, this is what we have been up to. ( actually not even close to what we have been up to, but that would take forever to blog about and really, I'm too lazy to write it all out)
