Personal?
I guess I've been on the more personal kick when it comes to my blog. I feel like it's my place to vent, and I always appreciate the feedback. The love I felt from the feedback from my last blog was making me cry. I love you girls.
I feel like life is finally on the best path. I got myself a brand new job as an optometrist assistant with REGULAR hours. Anyone who knows me knows that I used to work the worst shifts, and I'm so blessed to finally have hours where I can see my hubby & cook dinner. I LOVE IT! I've already made a couple of friends from work. All the girls are adorable!
Unfortunately after leaving my last job (Money Mart) I learned that there were rumors swirling that I had stolen money from the company and that's why I'm leaving. Their basis of accusing me? It was AMERICAN money and I'm AMERICAN. It's so stupid that people would do this to me. First of all it made me so furious and the second feeling was that I was so unbelievably sad about it. I put a lot of heart & work into my job. I was such a hard worker. For example, a month ago when I was really sick with the flu I worked a 65 hour week. 65 hours! Who does that for a measley pay check? I DID. I always stuck it out and dealt with the (lack for a better word) BULLSHIT! I put everything in this job, and it's so disappointing that people would tarnish your reputation just to make you look better.
Let's face it, I LOVE GOSSIP. It's definitely my biggest downfall and I'm working so hard to stop doing it. It's just a horrible habit and I know I've hurt people, and I hate that feeling. So I guess it's karma from all that? I honestly don't know, but I don't understand why someone would start rumors when it comes to things that could honestly get be DEPORTED and ARRESTED! Why would I do anything to ruin my life up here in Canada?
All I can know is that I never stole money, and I just hope those people evenutally know how much they've hurt me and that it's complete crap. I'm just glad that I have my family & friends to help me when things get tough.
I love you all.

Here I am!
I'll admit that lately I've been in a funk.
Trust me, I love my newlywed life, and I don't regret one single thing about it. I'm so incredibly happy with my life in the love aspect.
The unfortunate part is that I can't seem to love MYSELF. Ever since January I've really not been in a good place for my self confidence. I haven't really felt pretty, and actually just always feel really frumpy. I think another part of it is that I've always had trouble with my weight. I've never felt like I was the perfect size..ever. I just beat myself up about it non stop. Lately I've gained a little bit of weight, and it's probably because I got comfortable with Randy and wasn't such a stickler for my weight. I would have to say I was LOVING life, not worried about the stupid calories and working out. Well now it's definitely bit me in the butt and I can't seem to get out of my weight funk. Sure, I could be better at eating and I could work out more..but my life is crazy right now. I'm just happy right now. I am SO happy, I just wish I wasn't beating myself up non stop about my weight.
I guess I'm just writing this because I need to vent, and I'm also looking for advice.
So ladies, how have you found your self confidence and how have you changed your outlook in life to make you happy with how you are?
I can't wait to read your comments.

Our Wedding Day!
WARNING! PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!
So here I am a couple months later and finally getting around to this. I've been so busy, but I hurt my back and now I'm in bed, so here's our wedding day!
We got married on August 21st at a b & b in Okotoks, Alberta. It's about 30 minutes south of Calgary. It was a beautiful day. We had some smoke come from some fires in British Columbia, but it cleared up and there was just a morning haze on the river. We got married up on a cliff overlooking a river. I'll let the pictures do the talking now.
My parent's bishop married us. It was a short but sweet ceremony.
Close up of us with all of our friends and family.
Here's the bridal party. Kate, Moka and Megan were my bridesmaids with Annaleen and Makayla as junior bridesmaids. Bentley and Bella were flower girls and Stella and Blakely were little baby flower girls. Perry was our ring bearer and Seamus, Cory and Derric were our groomsmen.
We loved our photographer Esther Beazer. She was a dream to work with and took some amazing shots. This is one of my favorites. There was a great road down to the B & B. It was great scenery for our shots.
I was really happy!
Here we are with Randy's family. They are the best!
Here's my side of the family. We had such a great turn out!
See, I'm adopted. Only dark haired, short kid. But I sure love my brothers and sister!
There was an amazing field. This one is definitely a favorite.
I love how happy we are. I love this man.
See, he's cute!
The open house was held at my parent's house. Everything turned out gorgeous, and I love my family & friends for helping me bring my ideas to life!
I am just so happy to be married! There is hundreds of photos, and those are all on facebook.
Thank you everyone for the packages, cards, and well wishes. We are loving our new life together, and I'm loving being a wife & stepmom.

liar...
Okay, so I totally lied. I'm SO busy right now. This week alone I've worked sixty hours, and I'm fighting a nasty head cold that my cute hubby gave me. I JUST got the wedding photos yesterday...so I'll post some asap. If not you can look at estherbeazer.com under her blog. It has a link that will take you to all of them.
And of course my best friend Abby took some pictures, you can look at them on facebook or on www.abbydellphotography.blogspot.com.
Love you all & thanks for the well wishes!
I swear it'll get done in the next month....
