So things have been kinda tough lately.. I think that it is because my hormones are all out of whack and I am just sick of always having to put on a tough face... so I surrender. I am sick of being so tough and am just here to say my life has been a trial lately. I know that everyone has there own little things to go through... but geez after 2 years please tell mine to stop!! They are getting old. With all the bad in life I've decided there are a couple of things that I absolutely love



I love, love, love it when my house is spotless. It makes me so Happy. I love my house and it is always nice to see it clean. I really think that a clean house makes you less stressed and is a better place for the spirit to reside. I love how Bella Is in every piture. This may sound kinda stupid but I really do love her. She keeps me company when Brian's gone and She really makes me happy. I've turned into one of those dog lovers:)









WE Just painted our bedroom wall green. I really think it turned out well. Now we just need to get more decorations and stuff... It is still a work in progress

I am In love with Big Diamond earings. They are my new Fav! I just like how elegant and fun they are. Also, I am really into big flowers on the shirt and frilly stuff..I Love my backyard. This is just one picture, I've posted many before, but it is just so cool. I always see something exciting or beautiful here. Since our backyard is a rock Mountain, we always have fun creatures. This time it was a big lizard
Next I just love Brian. What a wonderful person he is for me. He is such a hardworker and is always there supporting me. He goes on business usually once a month for business and it really makes me appreciate him that much more.

This these drinks are my vice. I know I know. Energy drinks and soda are not good for you, I've heard it a million times. But I drink them in moderation don't worry. This Rockstar is seriously my fav. cause it tastes like lemonade. And diet Coke has been my best friend lately. When I am feeling down I go get myself one and it cheers me up.. Ha I guess you could say I am in the beginning stages of an addiction.. at least I am able to admit it..



Ok so Now is the moment of truth. I am trying to lose weight. 10 lbs to be exact. I am currently at 130 and must get down to 120. I know 130 is not a lot, (depending on your height and how old you are) but for me it is. I am finding my pants to feel a little bit snugg, and quite frankly, I just want to fit in them again.. So I guess whatever weight will get me back to a size 27, I am all for. So this is what I have been reading and studying religiously.. This book is awesome!! Seriously it has changed my perspective on food. I also have been kicking my Butt at the gym. I Bike anywhere from 5-10 miles a day and run about 2. I have allready lost 3 lbs last week. (Most is probably water weight) I blame most of the weight gain to my stupid hormones. For some reason right when I decide I want to have a baby my body takes a turn for the worst and does all these crazy things to me. I guess that is how it works...Just another little thing that has made me happy..I put 2 bands around my wedding ring and I am loving it. It sounds kinda stupid but it makes me happy. I love getting stuff that is sentimental and makes you feel pretty. I love feeling pretty. Even if it means dazzling up my hand. Maybe I'll tell Brian how much it makes me happy and he will dazzle up the other one.(ha fat chance but it might be worth a try right??)

So yup,, that's it.. See I have a lot to be happy for..I have just got to enjoy all the little things. hopefully soon I will get a lot of the stressful things in life squared away so I can relax a little bit. Well.. Talk to you next post....

  2. I am in the same boat. same weight and same goal. It is hard I tell you what but I almost think when you come out and say your goals like this they become a little bit more of a reality and become more serious! Hormones have SO MUCH to do with it! I have been either preg. or brestfeeding for three years straight and it keeps adding on the weight for me. It stinks but well worth the weight. I have you in my prayers, I can only imagine how hard it would be to be ready to be a mom and not have the blessing yet. Enjoy this time, as excited as you are to move into the next chaper remember this chapter still has some wonderful things, you are the type of person who creates good in all things. What a lucky hubby you have to have such a cute wife as you. Love you miss you!

  4. Jess, you are so sweet. I love that you are listing the things that you love to brighten up your mood. You've been in my prayers and will continue to be so. Are you getting so excited for your trips this summer? You and Brian are going to have so much fun. Maybe you'll get pregnant in Paris! How romantic. :) Love ya.

  5. I agree having a clean house makes things so much less stressful, I love having a clean house. I'm sure it's even better when it's your own house and you can decorate how you want... not living in an apt. Also I'm trying to lose a few lbs as well and have been looking to buy a book about nutrition. I'll have to take a look at that one. Good for you for working-out so much, that's some serious dedication. P.S. I hope you guys can come visit us in DC.
