My Friend Nikki

So, my friend Nikki said, change your background already! I said, I hate doing it, will you do it for me! And then, today, I look at my blog and Nikki has created this BEAUTIFUL new blog, which I absolutely love!

I love my friend Nikki. She and I have been friends since we were 5 years old, in kindergarden together. We have been through good times, bad times, volleyball, choir, fights, birthday parties, graduation, weddings - it's funny when you have a friend that long, and you can look back on your lives together. She has known me during my young years, my awkward stage, and more events than I can possibly remember. We have been friends for close to 90% of our lives - that is so crazy to think of knowing someone that long that's not your family. Friends like that, the ones you stick together with, are ones that you can count on forever. I know that no matter what, I always have a home if I needed one, I always have help if I need it, and I have a friend I can call, and have, who has "been there done that" with marriage, kiddos, money, all the fun stuff. I love you Nikki, you mean more to me than I can even tell you! And even though we can go months without talking (we are actually probably closer now that she moved than we were here, which is ridiculous!) I can always pick up the phone and pick up right where we left off.

You have beautiful children and a wonderful husband, I know we have talked together of how we have been blessed in this world. You are a wonderful woman and I can't wait for us to go through the next phase of life! I love you!

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!&
