Welcome!

I created this blog originally to keep friends and family updated with my life away from "home". A place to write down my thoughts and life events, maybe even some beauty blogging who knows!

"The longer I live, the more I realize the inpact of attitude on life. Attitue, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than crcumstances, than failure, than successe, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than apperance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regardunf the attitude we will embrace for that day. we cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes" - Charles R. Swindoll

Day 12

Favorite family tradition
This one is a hard one because we don't really have any family traditions... the only think that I did every holiday was I would always end up at my dad's house last because I could relax and eat more food! Haha and that's really about it. I'm trying to rack my brain at the moment to try to remember anything that we would do every year and I can't think of anything. I'm just gonna have to make some traditions of my own for my future kids lol because I don't know I've always wanted to have something to do with the whole family but it never happens. It's kinda sad because of differences between my siblings that it just clashes. It makes me sad in a way because I know that it's probably never going to ever happen unless my dad dies and we are all at his funeral. I wish my family was closer but that's just wishful thinking...

Day 11

Least favorite chore around the house
Oh my well my hubby knows this one cause he does this chore :P I absolutly hate cleaning the bathroom! I will do it if I really really have to but if I can get away with not doing it I would. I think it's because I'm some what of a germaphobe and when I think of the bathroom... well yeah I think you know where I'm going with this haha.  But as I was saying I will do any other chore in exchange for the bathroom! I'm thinking about the house in Italy that we will end up getting and I will probably end up cleaning the whole house before I am satified and know that everything is clean because I cleaned it... but Nate is still cleaning the bathroom...

Day 10

A photo of your favorite place to eat.
Oh geezers, I have a few favorite places to eat! I love Crown Burger, Red Iguana, and any place that knows how to make really good Pho! Yep those are some of my favs that I love to go to. I would never be able to go on a really good diet if these places are near. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Italy doesn't have these places... well they might have Pho but I don't know how good it will be, but still. I guess when I come home to the states and visit I'm just gonna be eating a ton at these places lol! Now that I'm looking at the picture of Crown Burger it's making me hungry for it... hmm... Nate hasn't aten there yet since he's been home from Korea... maybe lunch? Haha I'm bad, food is my frenimy!

I ran around and went to the following places.... our storage to put more stuff in there, the beauty supply to pick up some stuff, activated babes phone at TMobile, went to lunch with daddy at McDonalds, went to the asian market to pick up some ingredients, got my message at Message Envy, went back to the storage to meet with moving survey guy and also went back home to finish with the survey, fixed Jodi's hair, talked and emailed my babe, attempted to fall asleep, and now writing this blog haha.

Day 7

Your dream wedding.

Well since I aleady am married only half of my ideas came through lol but that's what came out when you have to plan a wedding in 3 months with a small budget :P But if we had the money and the time and also if that stupid lady at Fairy Godmother's Bridal didn't mess up the order on my wedding dress and didn't have to go get a new dress from David's Bridal then yeah the wedding would of been top notch! Haha don't get me wrong my wedding was pretty good because I got to marry the greatest guy ever, I'm just saying it could of been a lot more put into it if there was time :)


Here are some pictuers of what I thought my wedding would look like :P It's a little more organized than mine was but I wouldn't change a thing now :)





Yep and that's what I had in my mind haha kinda fancy huh? Haha well like I said my wedding still was pretty awesome I got the perfect man and cake! (Oh and if you live in Utah and want to know who make my cake, I'll put a link right under neath it :) it was  raspberry swirl with cream cheese and raspberry filling)

I made all of my table decor :) so easy and it all came from Hobby Lobby!






My cake was great it was by Exclusive Wedding Cakes
I can't find the website but this was the company

Day 6

 A photo of an animal you'd love to keep as a pet.
Haha okay you guys are gonna think I am crazy for this animal but I totally want a giraffe! OMG I freaking love giraffes! LOL I keep on asking my babes (Nate) if he will buy me one! They are so cute and just silly looking and that is why I love them!
They are sooo cute when they are babies too oh my gosh! Haha I totally want a giraffe farm now and have a ton of giraffes! Look how cute he is!

They also have BLACK toungs! What animal has a black toung :P cuz I sure don't and they have super duper long necks so they can reach those leaves in those dang tall trees!

Oh oh and they are awesome because they sleep like this! Ha see if a horse, zecbra, or whatever looks like a horse can do that! If I was a giraffe I would use my butt as a pillow too!

Oh my, I'm getting excited just writting about giraffes! Lol I almost got a chance to touch one and feed one when I was in Korea this last time, but they lied to us on the website and said that the giraffes were going to be able to feed and stuff and when we got there... there we're no damn giraffes in sight! I was very dissipointed! It's okay cause one day I will have a giraffe farm and I can pet, feed, ride, and play with them all day long! Haha yep I said it, I want to ride a giraffe! I could make big money if I put saddles on my giraffes once a year to let people ride them...
Haha now you all see my love for giraffes!
Till next time, Jay

Day 5

Something you are OCD about...

Oh gee lol I have a few things that I'm OCD about. One is color coordinating my closet! Haha even when I was a kid I did it. My mom would do laundy and just hang up clothes randomly in my closet and it would juat drive me nuts cause red would be in white and gray would be in red, oh it would give me anxiety! Lol my husband found out about it way before we got married and he would always joke about messing up the cloest to see what I would do.

I also like the number three. I've noticed this a few years ago when I was watching tv that I would always have the volume in a multipul of three (3,6,9, ect). Kinda funny becuase it just doesn't feel right if it's not, you know.

I can't think of anything else at the moment but I'm sure there is more :P sorry today is kind of a short blog with no pictures.

Day 4

A photograph of you and your friends!

Well I have some that are very close to me so those are the ones I will post :) I only have a few select friends because I tend to pic people who have the same personalitys as myself. I am actually kind of a lone wolf most of the time. Don't get me wrong I love going out with friends but I like my alone time too. These people are the closest to me because they show me their true friendship and are not fake about it.


My husband! He has been there a lot for me and has put up with all my crap! Haha and he talks to my everyday about everything. We share and don't hide anything from each other and he tells me things that I don't wanna hear at times and same with me to him. We keep each other in line. I love you babes!


My kid neice. I love this little brat to death! Ever since I moved out we haven't done much together latley but we did everything together! She is my mini me and sidekick :) haha. Now I miss our little adventuers that we did together. Love you kid!


Jesus, Maribel, and her baby! I love love love these guys! I don't get to see Maribel and her baby too often :( but it okay I still love them. Jesus is like my other half! We pretty much are attached at the hip whenever we go do things! I def miss our dancing days and making super duper yummy food. I love your face!

My girls! Whitney isn't in this pic unfortunetly cause she couldn't come out :( and I couldn't find out other pic that I think she's in but yeah. These girls, oh my, I have know these girls since grade school! We all grew up together and pretty much had our little posses in high school! Haha I love you guys!

Jodi! If Chau would of came out she would be in this pic too! My dear Alert girlies! Tierney worked with us too but she's in the pic about this so what's the point of puting her on here twice :P Chau and Jodi are two awesome girls! We had some great times at Alert and we still do! Love these two!

I love this girl! I'm not gonna say her name on my blog because she likes to keep on the DL. This girl I met in cosmetology school and we hit it off! She was like my first friend there lol we do soo much together and hang out whenever she gets a chance to. She's awesome and I love her to death!

Last but not least, my Angela!!! Haha this was one of our nights that we randomly do things. This happened to be the night that we decided to clean out her makeup box and got distracted by doing chola makeup! Haha I have so much fun with Angela! She and I have almost the exact same personality and we get along so well! I can talk to her about anything and she tells me how it is and gives me advice! She's like the older sister that I've always wanted! I love your face Angela!

Day 3

Tell us about your job.

Hmm... well at the moment I am a free lance hairstylist, homemaker, student, and militray wife. Haha, being a militray wife is a very bif job! Trust me, while your man is deployed and you have to do eveything from setting up moving stuff, shipping cars, worring if you man is safe and all those other litting things you have to help do for your hubby's military carrer (Thank God he only has 7 years left) it is a very big job! This also goes with homemaker, and I'm pretty sure people know what that is. We clean the house, cook, and watch soap operas (haha not really, more like Jersey Shore).


I am also a full time student at the UoP. I'm working on my education degree and I'm a hairstylist gone roge! Haha, but really I'd rather work alone with my freelance stuff because there is too much drama with a salon full of too many other women.

Procrastinating from doing school work :P

Hmm my day hase been somewhat lazy today acctually lol. I got up to to Nate on Skype and have been checking my University of Phoenix team form to see if my last team member has posted her part of the assingment yet which she was suppose to have posted last night might I add...
