If you do, then you know this machine is HEAVEN SENT! If you don't then definitely look these bad boys up and thank me later.......<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of my good sisters at church first introduced this little magical box to me last year while we were discussing/doing another unrelated project. She explained that is was a cutting machine that was able to cut through many different materials and that you had the capability to create and cut with the software making just about anything you can think of. At first the cricut was just a passing conversation in my mind, but by Christmas I was seeing so many different projects that it had created or had the potential to make and was adding it to my list of things to get! My hubby ended up pulling a one, two on me and the Cricut Explore Air gold was sitting under the tree on Christmas morning :) It was about a month before I actually got to open it up but once I did...... It was ON.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is so much to do with this little machine, I've been all over youtube and the Cricut design space researching ideas and have actually become overwhelmed with all the projects that I have stored away to try 😌 These aren't my work or pics but here are some examples of products from the Cricut machine</div>

Pretty neat, huh? I've done just a few projects so far since I'm still learning how to use my machine but I aspire to do soooooo much more..... and I can't wait!<br />
<br />
<br />
Off to find a project to do........</div>

Ladies, how ya'll feeling out there? Fellas, ya'll alright? 😏 (<i>shoutout to Ms. Badu)</i><div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
What's going on witcha on this Glorious Sunday? Is it still f-f-f-freezing where you are? I know most of America caught that cold front that came though over the last few days. Out here in my part of TX we woke up to 25° weather with a high of 50 today, with plenty of sunshine! I mean, the sun isn't breaking up this cold but at least it's pretty out lol. No real plans for us today, just a bunch of chill time. I'll probably watch my little one terrorize the front room for a while (<i>he's currently rebooting his energy through naptime as I type this) </i>and attempt to redirect his attention to something that doesn't involve pulling all of the movies off the shelves or running like a crazed piglet with a crayon in his hand rerouting relentlessly towards our light grey couch every 10 seconds..... <i>wish me luck.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What are you doing today? How has your day been so far? I want to know..... comment below so we can chat!<br /><div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I'm back ya'll!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's been a very long time, and I hate that! You would probably have a hard time believing the story surrounding my LONG A** absence, but I'll share it anyways.... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During the time I was posting, I had just finished nursing school [again] and developed a bad case of writers block. <i>Really could've been that my brain was exhausted at this point due to schooling back to back like I did. </i>Then we got pregnant. After that, I think pregnancy brain kicked in real heavy and my mind was constantly consumed with everything else all the time to where at some point I forgot my login and password. Not to mention being a first time mom consumes your entire being.....for a long while. <i>Very long while.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
So, yeah. That's the background of why I've been a distant memory all this time. By chance, someone commented on an old post and all my memory came flooding back like a concert flashback lol for this I am thankful!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh my goodness there is so much to talk about.... but for now I will leave you with this post to let ya'll know out there that I'm back at it!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Be hearing from me soon.....</div>

It's been a struggle trying to decide on items to decorate the house with and really I have been just one tired lady lately.....When I'm not working, I'm glued to either my bed or the couch.<br />
<br />
Absolutely no energy.....<br />
<br />
But I guess that's to be expected when you are EXPECTING.<br />
<br />
You guessed it! I am carrying our first baby and we are sooooo excited about it! I've been wanting to say something for a while but...my computer is all the way upstairs compared to where my bed and the couch are so, you know.... just hadn't gotten around to it lol<br />
<br />
I don't have any postworthy belly shots yet, but they will soon be coming! I had started working out by doing prenatal yoga and going to the gym, but I hadn't been keeping up with it. Surely don't want that to come back and bite me so I need to find somebody's energy to start back up again.<br />
<br />
That's pretty much all I've been up to lately. What about ya'll?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15672107254122077341noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437317243059970229.post-30082969784540135012015-01-01T12:04:00.001-06:002015-01-01T12:04:46.980-06:00Welcome 2015!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi 2015!<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a very happy, prosperous and safe New Year! Hope this year is everything you are striving for.... The best is yet to come!<br />

<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
So.... What's been up?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know......some of you guys are probably like "where the hock you been?" It's been like 2 months since I last posted! No other excuse I can give but.... LIFE.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll give a year end update:</div>
<div>
*School/Work- Classes started really consuming the free time I had in between shifts and was constantly battling with my sleep time..... it was a definite struggle! But thankfully I made it through and COMPLETED my RN-BSN program this month! Thank ya Jesus! So now all my time is devoted to lazy days and work lol</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*Home/Life- We hosted a holiday at our house this year and it was work trying to make sure we could accommodate as much as possible..... but it turned out great! In the midst of preparing for that, my mother joined our household after a big move out of state so I've been helping her get adjusted and settled into the area and re-adjusted to the state Texas in general. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With all that, Lewis and I are gearing up for the upcoming year. God has definitely blessed us this year and we are preparing for everything that He has in store for us in 2015! I'm super excited :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So you could say I sort of took a hiatus for a minute...... but I plan to be full force next year, my life is evolving and I want you guys to be a part of it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With that being said, hope everyone has a great and safe New Year's and I pray that I see you all in the 2015!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;">I'm swimming in school assignments that are not only time consuming, but also confusing as FUDGE.<a href="http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/54316625.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn.meme.am/instances/500x/54316625.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></li>
<li>Trying to figure out a life routine that coincides with my night work schedule. Who knew working nights could screw your life up so much? Not me.</li>
</ul>
<br /><ul>
<li>Still trying to feel my way around in the home decorating game..... this ish is more complicated than I expected. I'm determined though!</li>
<li>Trying to figure out how to wear these wigs I just bought.......another complicated thing I've signed myself up for lol</li>

SO......what's #currently going on with you?</div>

I am the worst at making a on the fly decision for interior design, I usually have to come back to the item in the store like 3 or 4 times before I decide if I should buy it or not (and I usually leave without it). Making "right now" choices is something on my list of things to accomplish...... still waiting to conquer that.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm really excited about making the house festive for the seasons, I have all these ideas in my head! We don't get company often, but I still want to be able to liven up the space for show and tell lol. Here are some of the things that inspire me:</div>

Still got a few inches to go in growing out my layers..... but it lays very nicely. I am loving how my hair is thickening up; even though this summer I didn't do a fantastic job of maintenance with my strands..... So for the fall I plan to:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- continue to wash 1x a week and keep my hair off my shoulders as much as possible (even though my husband likes to see my hair down) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-DC with every wash alternating protein and moisturizing conditioners</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-moisturize and seal my ends at night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-look into some different protective styles to wear through the end of the year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My goal is to be pushing APL by the end of the year..... think I can make it?</div>

I'm tired of wearing plain buns and banana clips.... I've been craving something that is quick, simple, low maintenance and may last me a few days. Of course I went to youtube... Here's a video I found:<br />

I love everything about this and it hits all the boxes on my checklist.... can't wait to try it!<br />

Man, I wish this was my view right now...... Nice warm sun on my body with a cool breeze blowing while I gaze out at the clear blue water..... <i>Le' sigh.....</i> If only.<br />
<br />
Instead I'm hustling and bustling about: work, school work, eat, shower, sleep, repeat. It kinda sucks, but I'm in beast mode right now with trying to finish up all these little activities we got going on. As a treat to myself for accomplishing one of my goals (finishing school at the end of the year) I am going to plan a small trip to a serene location... hopefully like the picture! I can't wait! Until then, it's the books for me.<br />

<b>School-</b> Not sure if I ever made it super clear, but I enrolled back into to school shortly after finishing my nursing program. Where I live, most of the hospital systems are wanting to go "magnet status" and that basically means that they aren't looking to hire the ADN (which is my degree) they want the BSN so it's extremely hard to get a job in the hospital right now as an ADN. It wasn't my original plan to jump right back into school, but God has a funny way of doing things..... He made it too simple for me to get in, the course load isn't as bad as I imagined and the program length is incredibly short! So here I am, about to finish my first of 2 semesters.<br />
<br />
<b>Job-</b> The last time I talked about my job, I was on a serious soap box about having to work so much! I was not used to working 40hrs 5 days a week <i>(and I still hate it btw) </i>but there were other elements of that job that I subconsciously didn't agree with as well that led me to continue to look for other jobs elsewhere- ANYWHERE. Again I feel like God stepped in and placed me exactly where it was time for me to be, He opened a door for me that got closed on two separate occasions by man. And when He opened that door, He had management begging on my behalf for me to get that spot! PRAISE HIM! I am truly thankful for the opportunity that was created for me and I do not plan to take it lightly! I am in this position to better mold my knowledge as a nurse..... you can call me a sponge cause I plan to soak it ALL in lol<br />
<br />
<b>Celebrating-</b> Hubby and I recently celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary! Gosh I can't believe its already been that long..... Thankfully it's been a wonderful first year full of blessings and triumphs for us! My continual prayer is that the Lord helps us build on the foundation we have laid together. I can't wait to see what the following years have in store for us, I know it will be nothing less than great :)<br />

<b>Decorating-</b> We've been in our house for 6 months and it still looks like a blank slate. Blame it on my inability to make a hasty decision but I feel like if it's something that we are going to look at everyday for the next 3-5 years, I need to make sure I don't make a terrible choice. So for that reason <i>(and lack of downtime) </i>we are just now really starting to decorate the space. Finally bought and brought home our new couch, a dining room table and put down some hardwood floors. Still got a long ways to go but at least our home is starting to take form. Pics and posts coming soon!</div>

Now that everyone is pretty much caught up with what's going on with me, it's time to revamp my blog!</div>

I wanted my hair to be as fresh as possible without having to suffer on the backside of waiting for a relaxer. I extended my stretch from 11-12wks to 14 wks; and honey my hair was READY. <div>

Still growing out my cut, so I'm currently rocking longer layers these days which is still cute to me. I feel like my hair is in that awkward length phase where because all of it is not one length, certain hairstyles don't work out very well and it's hard to bring together a cohesive style...... but I'm trying my best to keep it interesting. Our area is having some serious humidity so I probably won't wear my hair down much, if at all this summer. Speaking of summer, I tend to get a really good growth surge during these months so I believe me when I say I will capitalize on it! </div>

<br />
Wow oh wow have I been gone a LONG time. I sincerely apologize to anybody who keeps up with lil ole me, it looks I just fell off the face of the earth!<br />
But I didn't.<br />
Just when I thought I was able to work out my time management issues with having a FT job, I decided to go and enroll in school FT. <i>I know, shoot yourself in the face Bee. Believe me I've considered it. </i>On the bright but not some bright side, it's strictly online schooling so I don't have to physically sit in a class but it's pretty fast paced. I'm surprised I'm making all the headway that I am..... 5wk courses are NO JOKE.<br />
<br />
Anyways! Here I am missing the blog world, in the midst of everything else I got going on in my life. I plan to try and squeeze out a post or 2 a week...... cause even though my life has gotten a little busy, I still love to share a small piece of me with you guys!<br />
<br />
Pray for me as I continue through school!<br />
Off to find some interesting stuff to post about.....<br />

*Bends knees and turns them in an out to the beat of "Tootise Roll"*<br />
<br />
This will be my first full weekend off in a solid month! I pray my job doesn't call me and ask if I could come in to cover a shift; cause as much as it makes me feel bad about saying no..... I would flat out tell them no lol. I plan to do some much needed things around my house and just enjoy not having to be holed up at work during my days off. Hopefully the weather isn't tripping and I can enjoy some sun :)<br />
<br />
Cheers to the weekend!!<br />
<br />
Happy Mother's day to all my moms out there.... especially enjoy your weekend!<br />

<br />
The constant gnawing heat that comes over me while at work, disturbs me at night when I want to sleep and consumes me as I watch television...... It rises up inside of me and turns me into some sort of crazed animal. The fever.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Yep, I'm talking about: BABY FEVER.<br />
<br />
Ya'll I got it bad. Every time I see a baby I get all googly eyed and I envision myself with a sweet, chunky chocolately juicy little one. One time I even misted up watching a commercial....<i>that ish was cray. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
This almost overpowering urge came from just about no where. I've always been on the fence about when it was MAYBE a good time to start a family- and then.... BAM! Suddenly I'm surfing the web trying to figure out the fastest and best way to get pregnant.<br />
<br />
Really I think this is coming from the fact that I am at a very stable point in my young life: I'm married, finished with school, working full time with steady income, own a home...... I'm more stable than I've ever been-EVER. So my mind is like "uhm, babies.....NOW." When I've brought the issue to some ladies who have some years on me I hear things like "Honey worry about your career right now, having kids will only slow you down" or "you two are young, you got plenty of time to have kids.... just wait." But this fever is relentless! I see FB friends who are announcing that they are having a baby, or hear about a friend finding out she's pregnant and I'm like " What? She wasn't even trying!!! Crap. When will it be my turn?"<br />
<br />
I have to find ways to curb it because the way things look with my husbands work schedule, it will probably be a while before I'm announcing any news like that :( so I go with my church to volunteer at a children's shelter and I sprint to the baby room so I can love on some squishies for a few hours, or I drool over baby pictures I come across while picturing myself in mommy mode. <i>SIGH...... If only.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
I do know though that God has a plan for our life, and when it's meant to be it will definitely happen!<br />
<i><br /></i>
Whooooo!

I've been very busy lately. Trying to organize my life and get a routine down since I'm a working gal now...... It's still a bit of a struggle. I'm too tired most days to do housework and that further makes me feel as though I'm not on the ball with managing my time. *<i>Sigh* </i>I need to get it together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I believe I'm still in what's called the "transitional phase." Phasing out of being a student with lots and LOTS of time on my hands to clean and manage the home, available for my husband at all times and eager to do at the drop of a hat among numerous other things.... to a career woman with less time spent in the house and more time spent away. To be honest, I don't know how much I like it right now. This very well could be me just struggling with the fact that I haven't mastered my organization strategy yet, and with due time I'll get it all down in a way that satisfies me. Until then..... just keep me in your prayers!</div>

I know it's only a matter of time before everything will smooth itself out.....right now it just seems chaotic in my eyes. What a journey!</div>

My favorite TV station is HGTV and I follow numerous craft bloggers and board on diy boards on Pintrest..... but I hadn't really done anything major in the crafting department..... maybe just painted a bucket or something small like fix up a poster board. Since we moved into our house though I felt like it was time for me to flex my craft muscle and attempt some stuff that I've been longing to do for a while. But what? <i>Thinking, thinking, thinking..... GOT IT!</i><br />
<br />
I decided to re-upholster my chair. Who has time for baby steps? Lol<br />
<br />
About a year ago, I bought this old fashion chair for our living room because at the time we only had a 1 couch for everybody who ever came over to sit on. And if 5 people decided to come by that day.... 2 people wouldn't have a place to sit. The chair is pretty sturdy and feels good to sit in, it just looked fugly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrg9Mic_XObwwD4XAQ60MnU5GOLf5ckCV0ciGNMjXBatgFo-3ZvCoAKGk8HaFoy4prFh2-TcNcTaxWQCXVo4hHGsqM1yTkpB4Pp5cdhGQPRxBb7NKPyQ5tV1gY0upOUyZ1M_vV4e_nlA/s1600/IMG_20140318_185749961_HDR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGrg9Mic_XObwwD4XAQ60MnU5GOLf5ckCV0ciGNMjXBatgFo-3ZvCoAKGk8HaFoy4prFh2-TcNcTaxWQCXVo4hHGsqM1yTkpB4Pp5cdhGQPRxBb7NKPyQ5tV1gY0upOUyZ1M_vV4e_nlA/s1600/IMG_20140318_185749961_HDR.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
After about a year of undecided feelings, mixed in with life and new found time on my hands I finally pulled the trigger on attempting to re-fabric the chair. After doing some research and purchasing the fabric, I started the daunting task of taking off the fabric.<br />

<br />
<br />
I will not lie to you, this is (in my opinion) the HARDEST part of the entire project! I promise their had to be like 10,000 staples in this chair and they were in the oddest places. What was more frustrating was that just when I thought I was finished pulling them all.... I would find another :(<br />

There were some areas that I couldn't remember so I had to wing it.... oh well. Once I stripped all the old fabric, I simply placed the patterns against my new fabric and cut it to fit. After that I ironed my fabric so that is was wrinkle free, and began covering the chair section by section..... VOILA!<br />

<br />
If you are wondering what goals I created for myself for the month of March, visit this <a href="http://beeforreal.blogspot.com/2014/03/well-hello-march.html" target="_blank">link</a>.<br />
<br />
Let's see how I did:<br />
<i><b>Apply for at least 3 jobs a week</b>. </i>I went a little up and beyond. I was applying like crazy to different places..... guess persistence finally paid off cause I got me a J-O-B now! Bee Starks, RN :)<br />
<i><b>Go to the gym 2x a week</b>. </i>I started off really good with this, shoot I was even in there more than that..... but by the middle/end of the month with me starting a new position and doing different hours, the gym was the last thing on my mind. <span style="color: red;">FAIL.</span><br />
<i><b>Buy one complete outfit</b>. </i><span style="color: red; font-style: italic;">FAIL. </span>What I meant by complete outfit was like the clothes and shoes, maybe some accessories..... I only ended up buying myself a dress on the fly; honestly for no reason at all lol I'm in this weird dress phase *shrugs*<br />
<i><b>Have 2 hot dates with hubby</b>. </i>We only ended up having one of these....... we didn't get the fit in another one :(<br />
<i><b>Drink 1 liter of water a day</b>. </i><span style="color: red; font-style: italic;">FAIL FAIL FAIL! </span>I'm slightly ashamed.<br />
<i><b>Start and complete one project.</b> </i>Did that! I'm so proud of my work :) separate post on it soon!<br />
<br />
<br />
That was last month, here's Aprils goals:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Drink 1 liter of water a day.</b> Let's try this again shall we?</li>
<li><b>Start and complete another project.</b> Hey, I'm still on a high from the first one, why stop now? This has ignited a crafting fire inside of me that can only be put out by completing more lol.</li>
<li><b>Go to gym at least 2x a week.</b> Setting this one again because I know I can find time to hit the gym somewhere.</li>
<li><b>Do something extremely nice for myself.</b> I don't really treat myself to anything nice anymore. Years ago I used to really go all out for me every once in a while; not really sure what happened. I am going to make it my mission to get back to that point starting this month.</li>
<li><b>Finish decorating one room in the house completely.</b> We've been in the house now for 2 months and not one room has been decorated entirely smh..... </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I feel like I'm keeping with the whole "spring cleaning" concept of the season with wanting to complete and shape stuff up..... interesting thought process!<br />
<br />
<i>Those were my goals for April, do you have any? Share them with me down in the comment section!</i><br />

When we took our vows 8 months ago we made a promise to each other in front of our family and friends and more importantly God to love each other for better or worse til death do us part. Most days we are like two teenagers in crazy love..... then there are days when I wish he was a video game character where I could destroy him and he would come back with one less life lol </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For us it's top priority to keep the Lord ever present in our marriage. Not only for the days when we are having a difficult time with one another but also in the good days as well. I feel as though if you always keep God a center point in your relationship, you are better equipped to deal with the curve balls life can throw your way knowing that it's already worked out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lewis and I pray daily and when he's able to be home we pray together. We both feel it necessary to uplift each other in prayer, concerning our daily trials and triumphs as well as seeking Him in the plans we have for our lives together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We don't strive by any means to have the perfect marriage; we are still rookies and make those rookie mistakes, our goal for now is to continue to love each other genuinely and pray that we evolve into the man and woman God has us to be!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Lord will always be the center and head of our relationship.....ALWAYS.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15672107254122077341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437317243059970229.post-62494299048216762862014-03-17T15:04:00.000-05:002014-03-17T15:10:09.591-05:00#MarriedMondays Married and Dating<br />

Recently Lewis and I were forced to sit at home to wait on our new bed to be delivered. <i>Somebody just had to get express delivery cause they couldn't wait 3 or 4 days to sleep on the new bed....*cough* Lewis *cough* </i>....... With express delivery, they are really just working you in their already very busy delivery route which means they don't have a set time to come to your house; so you must basically sit home all day and wait on them to show up. Ya'll we were bound to this house ALL day. I was stir crazy. Sometime in the afternoon they finally popped up, brought the bed in and set it up. After Lewis loved all on the bed, he knew how antsy we both were to leave the house so he was like "let's go out to eat."</div>

I had never been to Red Robbins so that's where we ended up. Why didn't anybody tell me that Red Robbins was so good?! Man, that burger was packed with awesomeness and stuffed with bacon! We enjoyed the environment and the bottomless fries.... But more importantly we enjoyed each other. Lewis and I don't get to go on dates as often as most but when we get some designated time to spend outside of the house we make it a point to really, really make the most of it!<br />
<br />
Our marriage is still fairly fresh (<i>some would say) </i>but we agreed to never let it get stale, EVER. So whether it's organized dates, impromptu dinner dates, grocery shopping, random Target runs <i>my fave by the way </i>or just long trips to the mailbox lol we MAXIMIZE the time we do get to spend with one anther :)<br />
