Blogging for Dollars

The skin jumps opposite the impersonal convenience. Hmmm that's an interesting line, Just writing a quick post so I can get involved in payperpost, to hopefully get paid to blog. That would be great.

New furbabies!

These are our new kittens, Sassy and Razzy, we got them on the 9th of November, they are four or five months old,  

Sassy, she is a little shy, and likes things to be on her terms, you can see from the first picture why we call her Sassy. 

   

This is Razzy, she is a doll, very silly always makes us laugh. She loves to give kisses and warms up to people very easily. 
 

Side note: We did not pose them they are THIS cute!! 

Its been a hairy day!

Today Joseph and I went to get haircuts, I've wanted to put RED in my hair for awhile now and today was the day!!! YES! I wasn't aloud  to experiment with my hair as a teenager, so now that I have the "freedom" to do pretty much, what I wish with it.  I went all out!! It is VERY red!! (Parts of it at least.) Although it did take over three hours, the whole process was fun. Joseph didn't seem to go to crazy while we were waiting. I think next time he should bring a book. The lady that did it seemed to have fun as well, she was very sweet and I think she did a fantastic job. 

My hair was past my shoulders, so there was a lot that was cut off. I decided that I like my hair short better. It's been long for most of my life and I like the change. What color do you think I should do next time? Fuchsia? Pink? or maybe... just blonde? ;) 

home sweet home

Its been a long time since we have blogged on here.  A lot of things have happened.  For sometime now we haven't been happy with our apartment.   Its very plain white walls no texturing ect.  The worst part is our upstairs neibors love to play loud music all times of the day and night.  When you tell them about it they turn it down for an hour and then its party central with even louder music.  Now Becky and I are not boring people we like to have fun like the next person.  We are also very respectful of people around us.   After coming home from Jukka's and goran's wedding we decided that enough was enough.  It was time to move. 

SO we went on the search adding that to our nightly prayers that we will find a place that we could afford and still love.  Out of the blue we found a town house. We have been to condos before and where kinda worried about this.  We went to see it and it was beautiful.  Becky fell in love with it and we went about seeing if we could get pre-approved for a loan.  Once again i am worried because we haven't really established alot of credit  ( so i thought).  In an hour we are pre-approved for the amount and the payment is right in what we wanted to pay.

Once again everything seems to fall in place.  Heavenly Father does answer prayers if its right.  Even if it as little as getting a house. 

Life is a journey

I stress out a way to much about music, it’s just music, right? I think that it might have to do with the fact that I've had to endure listening to loud music for most of my life, with all the partying that went on in my home as a child. I spent many, MANY nights with a pillow practically  shoved in my ear. Granted I've never had a good sleeping habits, but this did not help. I hated that I had no say what so ever in what time people were going to be at the house. I was a child, and my opinion didn't matter. I was very scared of most of the people that wandered in and out, the “over the hill “men would stare at me and make me feel uncomfortable.  There were some very scary nights, and days, one that I remember rather vividly, I was 13 maybe 14 she was dating this guy that was in his late 30's early 40's, he was rather infatuated with me, he once stopped on the side of the road and picked me fresh flowers, to most this might not be odd, but he handed them directly to me, I was sitting in the back seat, in the car there was my mom, and two of my friends. It was strange, I got a horrible feeling in my stomach, he was really open about what he thought of me, he made remarks about my body, and how lucky a guy would be to have me. I told my mom about how he made me uncomfortable, and she was mad, AT ME! So I left it alone, until he asked me to run away with him, he told me that he'd give me whatever I wanted. His car, money, whatever I wanted. Finally she took what I was saying seriously. Although I payed for it, for years. Meaning she'd often call me names, saying that I "made him leave" I made all the guys she was "in love with" leave. If It wasn't for me she'd be happy. I kept paying for it, for years after words. For some reason I didn’t ever do anything right, I couldn’t keep the house clean enough, I couldn’t wake up when she wanted. I couldn’t talk to her when she needed me to. I guess I was supposed to automatically know when this was supposed to happen. She’d often yell at me for being lazy, I was either to get a job, or go back to school. According to her all I did was play on the “pooter.” and eat her food. I made to much noise in the kitchen, I didn’t sleep enough. I just wasn’t good enough. Even now that is how I feel, I still feel as if I am not good enough. Everyday can be a struggle, with each day I am learning, that I amworth while! 

Our "secret"

The "secret" is coming out...
We really haven't told anyone that we are trying to conceive, well I have told people, ie my mom, my sister, two of my friends. But not anyone else in the family, (well actually we told Mom W. last weekend over the phone) I don't know how to bring it up, with my family i've always been quite open with them, my sister asked if I started and I said "No, I haven't had one in quite awhile", she asked if I was pregnant. and I told her no, 

I've taken a lot of home pregnancy tests, and they've all been negative. I went to the doctor,  had blood drawn, and also to be put on progesterone twice. (Progesterone is produced by the ovaries, rising levels of this hormone signal the body to prepare the uterus with a lining of tissue in preparation for a fertilized egg. If no egg is fertilized, levels of this hormone fall, signaling the body to shed the lining and menstruation to take place.)

His family isn't as... nosey?! (or at all) As mine is. Ha Ha!! They haven't asked us when we're planning on having kids. or anything really when it comes to that. But I think we decided to let them know on Sunday. I told my family, so I figured he'd bring it up with his, but he hasn't. So WE will in the near future! :)

We'll keep you updated. Sorry we haven't mentioned it before!

We do know it will happen, when its meant to happen. :) 

Locks of Love!

On Thursday I made the decision to cut my hair, and donate it to locks of love. :) So on Saturday 11/10, Joseph, my bestfriend Tara, and I went to Fantastic Sams and got it done, its a good feeling, although its the shortest my hair has ever been. I'm happy that I decided to do it.

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
