Picture Post

Here are a few fun pictures! Definitely still not in the best over all mood but these are some pretty fun pictures that I think you will enjoy.

That Mini Book I was telling you about..

Well you're in luck, here it is.
Since I can't decide what to post about first I'm just going to go crazy and post it all. So yes this will be an all over the place crazy town ramble post. Now the other question is: where do I start first?

Oh! Here we go...

Family.

This something I've been horribly putting off for a while.

Although this is not the best picture, this is most of us.

And yes, we are amazing. I am so very blessed to have everyone of them in my life. They are always there for me, especially so with all the mess and stress going on in my life. But I am always there for them, just the same. Everyone of us are going through something at different times and points, and we are always there.

Anytime we get together you can guarantee we will have way too much fun. Even more so when there is NO alcohol. (I say that because Josh thinks, I don't know if he still does, but think/thought all we do/ I do is drink.)

This is VnK. 

This is K.Gayle and Tin.L .

Tin.L and his odd winter face warmer mask thing.

Ahh one of the best nights ever. 

We really know how to have fun. They mean a LOT to me. In fact any guy that wants to be in a relationship with me, will have to get their approval before we would move any further. Let me you, not only have they (unknowingly) set high standards for me, but so has my ex husband. 

The other night, Tuesday night, I was pretty upset and depressed and they helped me big time. G.Gui and Pops had a bit of a get together at their house. It really ended up being a few of them practicing/play around on their musical instruments. 

G.Gui patiently waited until I was ready to talk about everything. It took...two hours. He didn't push he didn't pry, he let me go on like everything was alright and when I was ready to talk about it all, he listened and gave me feed back and advice. Not to mention he spoiled Duchess.


Ex-Husband.

Hmm, where do I start with this one?
Okay, so Sunday Josh asked me to stop by on Tuesday so that we could "talk" and then Monday told me all of my things were ready to be picked up as well. Because I only have a Corolla and it's obviously not very big I told him I would have to stop by Monday night to get part of it. I got there and he asked me to sit down and asked me....a question and told him a few things that well pissed me off. Then he told me he had the divorce papers and would be filing.
It was a bit of a shock and stung pretty bad. I've been trying to save up and find a good lawyer to get this taken care of. Not only have I been trying to afford this mess but I've been trying to come to grips with a few things. I made a lot of promises, to Josh and to God and both of our families. I even was told by a high school friend of mine during coffee a few weeks ago that no one saw this coming, we "were the perfect couple".
We had a lot of plans and dreams and hopes.
And we had a lot of differences.
One of the things that hurt and stung the most, was when he started trying to tell me things that he thought I wanted to hear. About adoption, about us, about pretty much every and anything.
I know I was the one that left and caused all of this but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt and it won't leave scars.



Work.

I know I mentioned this in the last post, but I'M M.I.T!! It's so so so exciting! I've been so very blessed with this job. I mean I am twenty years old and a Manager In Training. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from my co-workers and from upper management. I've made my family (haha both) proud. It's such a great opportunity.
Before the promotion I even got my official name tag and business cards!! Eek!! So exciting!!

Funny work picture(after hours of course haha)

I know there are a few things I'm missing. Seeing as this isn't as long as I thought it would be but it's better than the nothings that I've been leaving you with right??

Definitely be looking forward to Etsy posts. I'll be buying a ton of stuff soon. :))

It's just so hard to figure out what I'll be buying first. Well, I think I just answered my own question. haha

Have a great day!!

MiniBook??

If I posted everything I wanted to, well this would be just that: a mini book.

Good Lord, there are so many things going on right now.

Lets start with the good:

I am a MANAGER IN TRAINING!! what what?? Pretty awesome. Not gonna lie.
                                It's really exciting. I'm really really blessed to have moved as far as I have (and have to go).
I might have found a roommate!! Not going to count these eggs before they hatch. But still pretty excited.


Okay now on to the more bad. Josh is filing the papers. That's a long drawn out story that I would rather not go into tonight.


Oh another good: I have an amazing family. Both biological and bro/sis from another mother/father. hahaha get it??

Not to mention I'll be getting a tattoo for her soon! I've got to make an appointment to have that done ASAP! Eek!


See now all my lazy-ness is all gone. I could totally clean now!! woohoo!
But...Yeah okay I'll probably clean a little and then go to wal mart to get a plunger(thanks to my dog who takes huge craps(pretty awesome right??)). Then I'll go to the birthday party of a pretty awesome girl! She and her man are Duchess' dog sitters on saturdays! Except this Saturday; they have a bowling tournament.

Not gonna lie that's pretty legit and I wish I could go. But I gotsa work.


SO
Last night was pretty much one of the best nights of my life. I LOVE my family. No joke. We usually have the best times EVER.

All I'm saying is there may have been a U-Haul, the cops MIGHT have stopped by Wendy's, and there may have been a big teddy bear and an Alien dressed to party boy..



Best. Night. By Far.
So far.

Proud Big Sister

I have started so many rough drafts of blog posts, on paper, it's ridiculous. It really is and I'll probably through them all away after I type this up. Which has not been a rough draft this is off the cuff stuff. :)

Anyways, I have picked up my nannying job again!! I can't remember if I have every posted about this before but I am pretty sure I have not. So here is a little background, I was nannying for about eight weeks the last few months of 2011. It sadly ended in November. For completely understandable reasons, the little girl I nanny does horse riding and at the time I wasn't as comfortable around horses as I should have been and due to the time change they decided to go with her old nanny so the LG (the little girl) could continue her lessons. Well about two week ago they contacted me to see if I was interested in resuming my nannying. Oh boy was I! The same week I was let go from nannying I was let go from the restaurant I worked at. Not to mention I cried. LG is adorable, very smart and  very talented.

In fact I am listening to her practice piano. Pretty good if I do say so.

Hence the title of this post, I really do feel like a gloating and proud big sister.


Lets see...

So much has been going on. I have so many posts to write, I'm trying to actually stick to one topic and not ramble ramble ramble. But for the sake of arguement and it's been so long since I've posted I'm going to let it all out in this one. well most of it.

First off I am a little upset with LSU for not playing a strong game. Sure they kicked Bama but when it really mattered but I was expecting a little more fight.
Second off I have been come a new member of a "family" and community. Who I love with all of me. I'll dedicate a whole post to those crazy guys.
Third, I was in the newspaper last week! Woohoo. I was just the model really, for my work.
Fourth, I was third in sales last week.
Fifth, I have gained about ten pounds thanks to October. That will all be lost very very soon.
Sixth....I don't even remember. But I will be doing more regular blog posts.

That's really it for now...I hope ya'll had a great weekend!!
