Hello ladies! I hope this finds you well! I've been going non-stop lately and I'm loving it! My Grand Opening Show was a great success! I was really excited and it meant a lot to me that everyone came out to support me on my first show! Last night I met with a future hostess and met with another to close out her show. After her show totals and my Grand Opening, I've already made the money I invested back! I was pretty excited about that.
This past weekend was a total girls' weekend! Friday night a bunch of us had plans to meet at my friend Ashley's (who is 7 months preggo) house to watch movies. Well, once we settled in to watch them, we started talking and never watched the movies. It was so relaxing to just sit and talk about anything and everything. Then, Saturday I met three of my friends at Kelli's house for lunch. Kelli and my other friend Brittany each had their newborn daughters there. And I must say, they were so precious. After lunch with them, I rushed home to get ready for my show! I had a blast and the food was declicious! Two of my preggo friends stayed for awhile after and I had the best time with them. Mother's Day I spent the whole day at home w/ my parents and Whitney. Kevin's mom lives six hours away, so we couldn't visit with her! Although it was a busy weekend, it was much needed time spent with friends. However, it didn't really help with baby fever! I was around pregnant women or babies all weekend! One day, one day!
This weekend is Nisey's wedding! Me and the other four members of "the click" are heading out Friday morning for, yet another much needed, girls' weekend. We're all so happy for Denise and we can't wait for her big day! I'm waiting for this weekend to be over before I make the post about "the click". We'll have an updated picture of us all dressed up and looking nice! ;)
Sorry for the play by play of my life lately, but I was bored and wanted to update! :)

Long time, no blog!
I apologize for my lack of updating lately! I've been really busy setting up my Pampered Chef stuff. I'm hosting my first Cooking Show this weekend! So, if you're in my area come on by! :)
Aside from Pampered Chef, not too much has been going on. Baby fever is still in full swing, though! This past Saturday I went to my friend Caraline's baby shower and there were seven pregnant ladies there! They all lined up for a picture and we barely got them in it. It was so cute! haha! Also, last night I had to go to my recruiter's house to watch her host a show. There was a 21 month old there and her name was Clara. Isn't that beautiful? When you would ask her what her name was, she'd say "Cwawa". She and I took to one another instantly. She would come cuddle up in my lap or get me to pick her up. That definitely didn't help the baby fever! :)
The diet is completely non-existent now. :( I'm pretty upset and disappointed in myself, but I'm not giving up just yet. I'm just extremely stressed right now and have so much on my mind, that I can't really count calories and make sure I drink so many ounces of water. I'm hoping to get back on track in the next couple of weeks! Wish me luck!
As far as Pampered Chef goes, I have two catalog orders out right now, as well as two parties booked! My business cards and stamp come in today, so I'm all set to go. I'm really excited, but nervous about this. I know the economy is rough right now, so a lot of people can't afford the extra luxuries. I just keep telling myself there isn't a lot of money invested in this and that once I make my money back, I have nothing to lose. I'm going to work hard but enjoy this. Plus, getting all the freebies consultants get are quite nice! ;)
I hope you ladies are doing well out there! :)

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That!
I really don't have anything specific to update about, I just wanted to update.
First, I was out of creamer for my coffee at work, so I went to get some yesterday. I decided to get the chocolate flavored one. I mean, how could you go wrong? Coffee AND chocolate? I tried it this morning and I'm hooked. It's 60 calories for four tablespoons, but I only used a little more than one. I couldn't imagine using four tablespoons of regular creamer, let alone chocolate!
Second, more baby talk! :) One of my nearest and dearest friends and his wife are expecting their first child together! I'm so happy for CJ and Kristy! They were married a few weeks before we were, so this was quite a shock to me! Kristy has an 8-year old daughter, so I know she's a great mom! I just know CJ will be a great father. He's one of the nicest, funniest, just all around great people I know. This child is definitely blessed!
And as far as baby talk goes, concerning me? I started taking a prenatal vitamin! :) My doctor told me in October that I should start taking them, so I've had them for a few months. I was afraid to take them. I hate feeling sick, so I kept putting it off. So far, so good. No sickness! :) Friday was a long day here at work, so I browsed baby sites all day long. I picked out furniture and bedding! Haha! All I need is the baby now! I can't wait!
Third, Little Miss Emma Jade is 8 months old today! She's growing so fast! Friday she said her first word: "da da". Now that she's got that out of the way, I'm gonna start teaching her "TeeTee". haha! Whit said she also said "uh oh" when she dropped her toy. She hasn't started crawling or anything yet. She hates to lay on her stomach, so that's hindering her when it comes to crawling. Maybe she'll be one of those babies that skips crawling and goes straight to walking!
Finally, I'm definitely feeling a lot better about the whole not having a teaching job thing. I was feeling sorry for myself and it was just getting out of hand. I talked to a friend of mine who is in the same exact boat I am. She and I have been friends since 6th grade and went all the way through college together. We're both certified to be History teachers, but neither of us can get a job. After talking to her, I definitely feel a bit better. But, hopefully something will change soon.
Well, that's all for today! Its nice and sunny here today...hope you're having great weather wherever you are! :)

I've got the fever...
I've always wanted children, but never have I felt like I have "baby fever". That is, until now. Kevin and I had talked about starting to try around our one year anniversary and I was totally content with that. However, after seeing Emma Friday, Saturday and Sunday, plus seeing the bank courier's 4 month old grandson yesterday and seeing Tanzi so much, I now have baby fever. In a bad way!
There are so many of my friends who are pregnant or have just had their babies. There's probably at least 15 of them, no lie. And every one of them are little girls, except two! I love listening to their pregnancy stories and love looking at pictures of the nurseries they've all decorated. I have some baby showers coming up and I can't wait to start shopping the baby section.
Kevin and I have been playing around with names, too. Its fun to think of different names. However, he wants very plain, everyday names. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I don't want my child going to school with ten kids that share their name and they have to be known as "Joshua 1" or "Ashley 2" (sorry, Ashley! haha!). According to him, I want names they'll never be able to spell! I don't want anything too far out there (like Apple or Mowgli Bronx), but I would like for it to be somewhat unique. We've picked one name out for a boy and a few names for the girl. We always go back to the same middle names. I know by the time we actually are pregnant, it'll change 100 times, but its still fun!
Kevin sleeps like a rock and I'm constantly telling him that will have to change once we do have a child. He also has no idea how much of the bed he takes up, so him rolling over our sleeping child is a definite possibility! I don't want them to sleep with us anyway, so that just gives me some extra motivation to stay strong!
Once we do start trying, we're keeping it a secret. I know I wouldn't be able to handle all the questions people would ask, especially if we're having a hard time conceiving. Just know that it'll be by the end of the year! :)
