Goodbye 2011

2011... You have had your ups and your downs but over all I think you have made me STRONGER!!!<3


 ~January
I moved from The wonderful Ray and Becky's house aka mansion in Newport Washington to Kellogg Idaho! I love Kellogg I started working three jobs this month! I was a bar tender, at Silver and still in Newport and then on side jobs! I loved living with my new roomies who were like family to me! Pope and my Brother and sister grew up together... so yea like family!
It was a nice start! I started the  year 100% debt free!


~February
I turned 21!!!! My sister Nicole, and her hubby, and My good friend Owen, Brandon, and Tyler took me out and we partied! I was sooo wasted  don't remember crap

This is my lame pic i have of me kissing the bull statue down town!  Good thing I don't remember much but I do know I did NOT puke! yay!

~March
You are one of the best months ever to happen! yay!
This month I was given comp Floor tickets to the famous Chiefs Hockey game in Spokane and well my other ticket baled, so I called Nicky and she didn't answer so I called her other house and well little did I know dad said I will call you back... Next I know....

This HAMSUM crafty man would then soon be my Ham(boyfriend)! I am sooo happy that him and I have found each other We are PERFECT!  Somewhere between March and February I moved to Post falls for a few months!


~April
April I moved to Coeur D' Alene, And started my current job Full time and it kicked butt! I have been sooo Blessed! Quiet and low key month!


~May
May I was introduced to quite a bit of Hams Family. They have a family Get together every ear for memorial day! So we spent time with his family, and went back to Wallace to visit friends and family!


~June
My Oh My June! <3! I saw My big sister Mary, and Denise whom I haven't seen in 6-8 years!  We celebrated Hams Birthday and I introduced him to the biggest REDNECK event ever.... Gyro Days!

 Marry and I

Heather, Me, Denise, and Shannon!

All of us girls! Mary made him take the pic!

Its a grandfathered event where they drop a ball in the water, follow it through two towns and drink, chat, and have good times then when the ball lands to Wallace at the bridge the person with the ticket that matches the time, Win's $$ and there is a carnival, and games, and booze, and most of all MARY!!
This is also the start of when I got sick and The dreadful curse came about but didn't know til September. Yes The next few Months were not nice.
oh June you are welcome to be here every month! (except the curse)


~July
This month was bitter sweet, My ex husband and I became divorced this month. It was welcomed due to him shaking me, beating me emotionally, and mentally, and once during the 3 year marriage of holding me at gun point, and cheating on me and refusing to change/ get help. So after being split for over a year, and trying for a divorce since October 2010 I Finally was granted my freedom!


It was also the 17 year passing mark of my older brother Kyle, and would have been his 39th birthday!
so July... Please be nicer in 2012. I really don't want to have another one of 2011 July's.


~August
You were sweet to me! You were low key and relaxing except for meeting Rick and his lovely wife! They took us out on there boat, and we had a blast we went out around 12 and came in at 4 am! It was so much fun!

Burnt girl! and HAM!

I look retarded but it SOO fits us!

~September

You were really low key, I had been in and out of doctor appointments up until now and finally after a million tests I know what  I am dealing with. Its not easy. In fact I am now no longer debt free due to owing medical bills.

~October
Ham and I didn't really do much for Halloween that I can Remember,  Just laid low!

~November!

We did thanksgiving at Ham's parents house and just started to get ready for Christmas! We both worked so much  and tried to lay low, with me not feeling well and all its been a slow months not much going on!

~December!

You went by so fast, test after test, work, and preparing for Christmas it has seemed like is still should be November. Christmas was Amazing! I am sad your gone so fast!

As I sit here and think over the last year and remember all that's happened 2011 has been good! Even with the bad, I would love to thank it because I have grown so much and I am glad that I met Ham, and that I have a  great job, a place of my own,  I don't know what 2012 will bring me but I am so excited and ready!

I will post another with my goals!

Thanks for reading!

Christmas Dump!

So I know I'm a few days late, But my christmas weekend was amazing!

Friday Ham and I went to my dads house and stayed, got up, went to breakfast, and opened presents!

I go this.....

and Ham got $$$!

Thenn we finished our shopping and went to meet the people who set us up! We visited and had fun!

Then we went to his house where we had crab,, steak, and stuffed mushrooms, and salad and mashed taters for dinner! Letts Just say my two plates of stuffed mushrooms were the only dish gone at end of night! Score!

We woke up and had presents, and we were all very blessed! I am definetly lucky!

The above is contents of my stocking alone from one house! yay!

Then Hams dad made homemade sourdough pancakes for breakfast! YUMMMY!

The rest of the day was spent lounging and watching movies!

I hope ya all had a good Christmas!

XOXO!

Raindeer Droppings!

So Last night was a good end to a rotten day! I think some Raindeer droped some stuff...

I cam home to a white box on my door step!
I plugged in my lights...

(sorry about the tilt neck stupid phone wont let me rotate them!)









Anywhoo so then I decided to RIPPPP open my box!



Lets Just say I think my momma loves me!  So I will be good and not open them! But So very tempting.

My momma was very sweet to send me a care package! She is in Utah. She works really hard and tries to take care of her youngins!

Tonight is the start of Ham(theboy) and mines Christmas Celebrations. He gets off late and we will head to my dads for the night and breakfast and presents, then we will chill for a bit, and then head to my house pick up round of presents #2 for his family and the ones from my mom, and we will head to his parents for the night and do it all over!  Lets Just say I AM STOKED!

Christmas eve is my grandmas Birthday. RIP- I miss you soo much! Every year my family does a big dinner, so this year I am doing it with Ham's family. Crab, steak, and the works! Sooo ready! So Happy Birthday Grams!

I hope you all have a merry christmas and a Excellent weekend!

Ho, HoHo, HoHoHo!

The  worst gift I have gotten I would have to say is when I was married to my ex husband, One year for christmas he bought me a bag of candy and a stuffed animal. (he is well off and just didnt want to do anything.)



My Favorite Christmas movie would have to be Jack frost/ Elf! I love the idea of the meaning of family in the Jack Frost movie, and I love how funny elf is!



Although I can't currently eat it, due to diet restrictions from "IC" I love my Grandma Ruth's Chocolate Whipped Cream pie! Its so yummy! I wish I could eat one slice this year! My Grandma used to own a pie bakery shop and this was a popular fave!


I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! This year has been full of changes for me, however I wouldn't change any of it. I am blessed to have family and friends, to be in a safe environment, and to have a good paying job in a state with low min-wage, I am blessed to be healthier than some, and always grateful! May Santa Bring you all that you want this year, and Remember the real meaning of Christmas. (ps don't forget to leave cookies out!)

Ugh... The dreadful Curse

Okay so I may have mentioned in past posts that I am a little healthy except in some areas. This may be in a time where its To Much Info... but ya all should know on the life hapings that are going on.

So in June I got really sick, I thought what just a cold and uti ended up staying forever. Well in September after months of tests, and me feeling like a train wreck the gyno doctor sent me to a Urologist.

Well I have what is called Interstital Cystitis Disease, commonly know as "IC" or  "painful bladder". This has not been easy its where you bladder spasm's, you have to change your diet, and it takes a toll on relationships, families, and etc.

More information can be found at www.ic-network.com

It has made a huge impact on who I am, made me realize that true friends will be there and stand by you through it all. Ham(the boy) has been really good. He has stayed by me when even the doctors are surprised that the pain I have been through that he didn't run and leave.

Now at this point, I am also fighting kidney problems on top of this. Being that my bladder isn't working, my kidneys are either, I have had lots of infections, and now possible kidney stones and failure.

All this piled high on with endo does not help.

Lets just say this last week I have been in so much pain I have cried, not slept, ran fevers, and still done my 40+ hours at work, maintained my relationships with friends, Ham, and family.

I post this not to scare or worry or gross you out. But if you wanna follow me through my life of good, bad, fashion, fun, and good times well I am gonna be blunt and be me!

If you have questions ask, but this is my journey. I hope that maybe this will bring awareness and a little bit of help to what you read.

If I say I'm "vegging" it's probably because of pain. I have always tried to find the positives but I am having a hard time with this one... Its a tough cookie if you know what I mean.

I appreciate you listening and I will catch ya when I am more awake and worth something!

Drool and Fart wars... Classy... Not :)

Okay so maybe I'm a day late. Cut me slack!

1. What is the best compliment that you have ever recieved?

~ That no matter how bad my luck is and no matter where I am at in life I always seem to look at the possitive and keep my thoughts up with caring about others first. *as much as we want it to be its not always about us.

2. Seat Belt?

~ I wear mine sometimes. I hate how it chokes you... I am so short it almost always does. grrr :)

3. Fill in the Blank

You know your always comfortable with the other half when _______________.

~ haha um Ham and I tend to drool on each other sometimes...  not to mention sometimes have random fart wars... Yep true story. I will spare details :)

4. Some One gives you a gift wrapped in a 6 inch box, what is it?

~ Oh how I would love to move into a "actual" apartment. I love mine. But the Breakfast at Tiffanys style can only go for so long. *hoping for spring.*

5. You are at a Chic- Fil-A what do you order?

um, Chicken sandwhich with swiss cheese, or chicken tenders!

Oh Santa Baby.... Please Dont skip # 5!

Dear Santa,

I have been good this year! Please may I get lucky with some wish list items?

1. Cami shirts, I wear them under everything and well mine are starting to take a toll. (neutral colors would be great! aka black, brown, white, ) or what ever color! Size large... ( gotta love the girls)


2. I have come to realize I have no pretty bows, clips, or accessories for my hair. I am pretty simple so just a few to add here or there that are professional would be A-Maz-zzzing!

3. Wish list item that would never happen...  I would love to have them in black and 6 1/2 -7. Man I would love them but that's it with fashion and me. I think I would love stuff or want it, But on a budget like mine. You learn to improvise!

4. I normally would ask for more than clothes but starting over times two makes you learn A) never leave a ex with all your stuff no matter what, and well B) This girls gotta hit a lottery to get her  closet back, so I would love gift cards to Ross, TJ Max, or KHOLS,

5. Christmas is about giving right?! I have been thinking and as above we all list this time of year... I want, I want, I want, I need, give me, give me, etc. This time of the year should be about giving not receiving, So please while your out there shopping for your loved ones, or for you, or whomever, Maybe consider donating $5, $10, $15 or even $1 to the kids in need. In my area we have a Children's Village, and homeless shelters, This time of year I tend to give to the Children's Village because it breaks me to know kids go with out so grown ups can have. So please Open up your hearts... Thank you!

But really all I want for Christmas is to enjoy the year with my friends and family, and well make new memories. Ham( The boy) and I have plans for dinner Xmas eve and then Xmas day with his folks, Now to plan a day with my dad, The distant family will be with us at heart!

So Santa, Please may the kids and people less fortunate be blessed and all be safe and warm!

Don't Poke the Bear

Ok, So I know its Thursday, and I haven't posted all week, I know I'm slacking.

Monday I had a visit from the Santa Ferry whom delivers Christmas trees instead of Christmas Presents!

I thought it was Ham (the boyfriends nickname) and well it wasn't, I asked everyone and  No one knows where it came from.
So!

Here we have the little short midget Christmas Tree for the Midget girl! Haha!


Second  I  found a sign that fits Ham well!

Ham is very Grouchy if you talk or touch him when he first wakes up or is Grumpy! So That was my little laughter for the week.

The rest of the week I have been Just fighting being sick, I will explain in another post, But I have had health issues since June, and well there not getting any better. So I hope and Pray that things get better.

My week has consisted of work, work, sleep, Doctor appointments, and well more work and more sleep.

Except on Sunday I went to Ham's house for family dinner and to celebrate his Grandmas Birthday. We watched movies, had a Yummy dinner his mom made and well just visited. It was nice.

He is sooo good to me. He takes care of me and treats me well!

I happened to take a pic on Sunday So I thought I would share!

There you have it...

My week recap I will Try to post later on my Share your world Wednesday and catch up with the health stuff.

I'm a southern girl, and family is from the south whom ended up in the north, suprisingly I am growing fond of it! Lifes crazy but this will be my journey through it!

I am a twenty-something year old gal, whom loves to cook, hike, camp, go out doors and do most of anything, Hunting, bike riding, atving, and etc... I am vertically challeneged, (aka short), healthy for the most part... I do have down falls., I have eyes that change colors, and dark hair!

Well I think thats enough info for a first time post! Cant wait to add the girls I have been reading and maybe get to know ya better!

Pardon my blog changes as I will be making some in the next few days as of appearance!
