Well I figured I would throw another update in here for you guys. I am still unemployed - and desperately searching for a job. If anyone out there is unemployed, especially in this area, you know how hard it can be to find work. Especially with no college degree and no biilngual. Even though I have years of office experience, it really doesn't matter unless I have that. So I keep looking and applying everyday. 
I started working out and calorie counting this week. I have put on a good 10 lbs from the stress of working in a sexually harassing job last year, and then we took our honeymoon. Boy here came another 10 because all we did was eat! lol. So needless to say, I feel super duper out of shape. But I started working out and just for the 30 min on the treadmill, I can already "FEEL" better. Isn't it strange the difference you feel if you work out vs not working out. I have actually dropped 4 lbs so far from the start of the week. So I am going down. I have a goal set. I want to get back to my smallest point which was a size 8 at 165 lbs. I am currently around 184. The reason for this goal is..............................................We ARE TRYING TO HAVE A BABY!!!!!!! Yep you heard it. A baby! That wonderful bundle of joy that changes your life forever. We have been together for a while now and hubby does not want to wait any longer. I went and saw a good OB doc and have been taking prenatals for months anyway. She suggested that I get started trying to get preggo now and work out at the same time. No waiting because I am 32 and once I hit that 35 mark things are a little different. Plus if I want 2 more, I am sure I will hit that mark on our 2nd one. Now I figured I would gain a good 20-30 being pregnant (even though doc says I can gain 5-10 and still be ok, dont see how thats possible). I didn't want to gain that on top of what I gained this year. So time to get my butt workin!!! 
I ordered one of those exersize balls and the new Jillian Michaels (biggest loser coach) 30 day shred dvd. I heard that dvd can really punch you into shape Bigtime. So I wanted to give that a shot. 
If all else fails, there's morning sickness! lol j/k I got sicker than a dog with Brooke so I figured I would get it the 2nd time too. But you never know. 
Well that's it for now. I will update ya sooner I promise. Thanks for taking the time to read. Much love~deb

Well here I sit. Sitting. ARGH! I need to get on the treadmill lol. Well anyway I thought I would update ya.. again. Since it seems to be once in a blue moon. I really need to change that though. I miss talking to people and having friends that I can talk to would make  world of difference, especially now.
So anyway, I have been not working since about the middle of December 2007. I endured alot of sexual harassment at my last place of employment and it finally broke me one day and I left.  But from April 2007-Dec2007, I put on a good 10 lbs from all of the stress of it. No one knows what it feels like to be almost a nervous wreck to go to work because you don't know what will be said that day, or if you get the luxury of your boss actually being a decent human being instead. So that took its toll on me. Then come the end of Feb, we finally got to go on our honeymoon cruise!!! Yay. We put it off for a year so we could actually pay for it. And by that time, after not working and starting a sexual harassment lawsuit, I really needed a break. We flew out to florida and then took a Disney cruise out to St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Castaway Cay (although the day we came to castaway cay, the wind was so bad we couldn't dock and we left.-Sucked! ). And well yanno how cruises are, you eat free food... constantly  lol. Plus it is what you normally avoid eating. All that bad bad stuff. So there came another 10. Alot of weight for me in such a short time. Especially after being pretty stable for the past almost 4 yrs. 
Well we were going to start trying to have a baby after our honeymoon. That was the inital plan. So after we got back, we went and saw a good baby doc at our local practice. I asked if I shoudl lose a little weight before and she said honey with your age and you wanting two, you need to start trying for that baby now! Don't wait lol. So we are trying!!!! YAY!!
Exciting and scary all at  the same time.
So I am trying to drop about 15-20 before my ovulation time at the end of the month lol ANd trying to find a job, any job, before I get preggo. 
So that is my sad story at the moment lol. Any questions class? j/k lol
But it is great to be back on this site! I would love to talk to people again.
Any baby advice is well taken. Send it my way lol.
~until next time~

Wow has it really been since Feb since I posted on here??!! What the heck happened to me lol. Well yanno how it goes. Life grabs ya by the gonads and shakes ya just a bit . If you have gonads anyway :) 
Alot has changed for me, for my family in the some odd months since I have posted or been around OH for that matter. I started working in april for another general contractor doing office stuff. Unfortunately it seems to be one of those situations to where he is a well, sexual harrassing person. So I am looking elsewhere for employment at the moment. I was going to college at night to get a career established. But with working, mommy, wife and then college, I only did one class a week. Which amounted up to didly squat on the list of pre-req's I needed for the Radiology  program. So I figured I would apply to alot of different law enforcement agencies and correctional facilitiies. I figured it worked out to be a good career for the hubby, maybe it can be the same for me. So we will see how that all turns out. I will keep you posted. 
On another front... we moved!!!! Yep. We did it. We went and bought a two story house. Brand new. Love it. 4 bedroom, 3 bathrooms. Almost  2000 sq ft. Our very first home. With the way the market is we got a hell of a steal of a deal. We just moved in on halloween so we are getting used to it more and more each day. Sometimes we just look around and are like wow this is really ours. So it is nice. Brooke finally has a yard to play in! She is such an outside kiddo.  Well that is pretty much it for now. I have fluctuated the same 10 lbs for the past year. Sometimes I lose it, sometimes it finds me. lol. I really want to get it gone before our honeymoon cruise though come feb. So after the holidays it is crunch time baby! That's all the update for now. Love ya guys!

Here I am a married woman! Yippie =]~ It was such a fabulous time in vegas that I cannot wait to go back. But in the meantime I need to find a good fulltime job. My plans are to try and get some college classes done this year. SO in the meantime I need a jobby job that can pay the bills enough so we can move out of this dreaded apartment complex. We are just getting a little tired of hearing lame-o party teeny boppers blasting music beneath us at 2 am. Or some idiot that cannot park between the lines over in your parking space so you cannot use it. Or even hearing the neighbors convos through the walls. If we can hear them... um woa , I won't go there lol. Besides that I want to get back to working out and drop some of the lovely holiday fat girl that came. God I am my own worst critic. I would love to get down to 150 before the summer if that is at all possible. Who knows. But anyway. I found a pic of myself when I was a fattie that I took with brooke at disneyland. Then we retook the same pic at the same place last year. So I thought it was pretty neat to compare the two. Thought I would share them. I have tons of wedding pics for you all to see as well so enjoy! And hey people whenever there is another get together, invite miss lame girl over here. Most of the time I am sitting home while tyler is workin so hit me up!
~much love.

I just realised we are getting married in 3 weeks!!!! OMG!! Talk about soon! Ok my nerves have been killing me lately. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get. It is like WOW. I am excited as can be , but I am sooooo shy that I am more scared about everyone looking at me. We have to walk down from our hotel room and out to the limo all dressed up and the strangers will be staring! lol. Call me goofy but I don't like all the attention like that. I told tyler to hand me a paper bag so I can disguise and I will be ok lol. It should be a great time though. I can't wait!! I made some really cute little gift bags for everyone attending the wedding. A small touch to tell everyone thank you. I really can't wait to hand them out. Since we are having a vegas wedding, I purchased things that were in the vegas style. We found some playing cards that say welcome to las vegas with the good ol sign on them, some red vegas style playing dice, choc candies inside poker chip wrapping, some red glass coasters that have the playing card theme on them with spades ect in black and red and our personal CD with songs we put together that are personal to us.  I then tied a name tag with that raffia stuff on each one with our monogram stenciled on the front and their names stenciled inside to make each one personal. YES I LOVE CRAFTS !! lol If you couldn't tell. I love being artistic and unique with stuff like this too. Theme stuff is the best. So that will be fun. We have a suite booked at the Venetian so that will be nice! Plus we purchased show tickets to see the Magician Lance Burton with my soon to be brother in law, his girlfriend, my dad and his girlfriend and my brother and his girlfriend. So that will be nice. We are treating everyone in the party to lunch as well as another token of appreciation for spending part in our special day! My dress should be comming back from the alteration shop this week. WoW. It is just getting sooooo real!
HOW EXCITING =]~
