My Bella Girl





























I know my posts center around Jason and I, but I need to write for one second about someone who is near and dear to my heart, my 5 month old puppy Bella. Bella is a black lab mix who is just about the cutest little thing in the whole wide world! When I got Bella, I had wanted a puppy for a very long time ( I was so lonely I needed a buddy! ) But it never seemed like any puppy really fit me, plus, I couldn't afford to pay a whole lot for a dog. My good friend Kate text me on a Monday and said, "A teacher I know is giving away lab puppies, do you want one?" Of course, my reply, was yes. She asked if I wanted a girl or a boy, I said girl, and Kate said, "Ok! I am off to pick her up." The next thing I know, I got a picture text from Kate of the cutest little black lab in the world. I fell in love with her immediately! We met at PetsMart and when I laid eyes on her, I was just overcome with love for this little thing! Well, Bella and I spent our first week together and boy, was she a smart little thing. I got up every two hours or so at night to take her out, and took her out alot at night after work, and at lunch, and all of that work paid off. She was potty trained after about a week, and is still so good at it, that she just goes right to the door when she is ready to go out! We are working on a bell right now for Bella and Molly (Jason's dog) so we can hear when they are ready to go out. Bella has always been very sweet, and you have never seen true love until Bella met Sophia for the first time. Sophia loves puppies and at the time, Bella was little enough for Sophia to carry. So, Sophia just poked at her, laid with her, picked her up (by the front two legs only) and Bella just let her. When Bella and Molly met, it was like two sisters. Even now, we are surprised at how fast the two dogs got along, they aruge but always work it out. :-) Bella is a very loyal dog, she follows me and Jason around everywhere we go, but doesn't always need to be loved on, but she is a sweet, SMART dog, very patient, and is always watching. We love her and hope she is with us for a long time. With all of her good points, she does have lab tendencies so here is a list of things she has chewed up:

-My brand new heels
-Jason's electric razor
-My eyeglasses ( I was pretty mad about that one )
- Two pairs of flip flops
-Several of Sophia's toys (But Sophia never gets mad, she said she was "sharing" with Bella)

Oh, and I did tell you she is a lab, so she loves to swim! I am attaching some pictures and a video of my darling puppy.

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me.   "$61,000" she said.   I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...
