Essentially Yours.

 Its been a busy summer. Days spent by the pool, playing basketball, fishing and grilling and spending time with family. We have made a lot of new friends here in our new neighborhood and so glad we made the move when we did!  I have been taking time to myself to study and work. Business is going well and I also booked some photography gigs. I haven't been as active with my photography and have been doing some shoots but only for privet clients. My next big shoot is coming up in October and this one has me really excited! Stay tuned and I will share some shots if my client signs a release! Time for bed. We have a early start tomorrow.

 A lot has happened since my last post! For one, I married my best friend November 11th of 2016! We moved! I have made some beautiful friendships and have been studying to further my career. We are planning one incredible trip (Wont say the location just yet)  I am currently working of my business right now. Trying to better my knowledge and grow my base. Things look bright! Working out has been put on hold, I ended up having to go to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack, Thankfully it wasn't. I actually just pulled check muscles. Go figure. However we learned from my full body scan that I am very healthy. Which was refreshing news to receive since I've had health issues for the last 3 years. My hard work is paying off! So, no more surgeries and medicines have tapered down. (Thank God!) My doctor is very pleased with that news. I plan on hitting the gym again, but not as hard until I can heal my chest muscle. I went the other day and just couldn't do what I ...

We went and got our marriage licence!! I am beyond excited to become this amazing mans wife! He has been an incredible friend. Standing by me for close to 5 years! Our relationship was built from friendship. He has been an incredible father to my son. (Our son) Teaching him different sports, manly things, and so much more! I am blessed to have this man as my soon to be husband, father and dad to the kiddo.

I truly am horrible with keeping up on posts. Life has been pretty busy recently. Wedding prep is all done! Vows are written, final payments have been made, now all we need to do is say "I do!"  Been working out as well. The hubby to be and I really enjoy working out together. I am getting stronger and stronger all around which makes me feel incredible!  We are still house hunting. It's a long progress. We defiantly know what we want, know what we will  accept, and what we just wont live with.  Now to find the perfect location! This is it for now. I have to get the dishwasher going, a load of laundry and then the fiance and I are taking the kiddo out to play with his friends. Keeping busy and making family memories!

We have been going to the gym pretty much daily. We have held off this week due to an injury but hopefully will be back at it again! In the month we have been going I've lost anywhere from 2-3 inches and about 10lbs. I got my wedding dress and I actually will need to have it altared somewhat before the wedding because of my gym time. Im sliming down!! Toning up and getting healthy! I feel great!! Most importantly the fiance and I are doing this together and its brought us even more closer than before. If that was even possible? I do have a love hate relationship with the gym..I hate going. But once I'm there I'm fine and ready to work out. Go figure..  Wedding plans are coming along GREAT!! Starting to send invitations out, mainly to Family we know that wont make it. Making final payments, we found an amazing house to rent while there. Its HUGE!! So, we plan on havng a BBQ and have friends over along with wedding party. We are so exctied, but ready to just get this over w...

 We met with our personal trainer yesterday. I really like him. The fiance and I both seem to have a bunch in common with him which makes for a good dynamic between us all. We worked on my back and legs. My back feels amazing, legs not so much. I am so sore! But in a good way.  For now I have a few things I need to focus on and make stronger from past sports injuries. Some seem like I will never make it over that mountain, its an uphill battle for me. It's painful. I've had a bad back for as long as I can remember and somedays are better than others. Thankfully, our personal trainer knows how to work around injruies like mine. So I am confident I will be sucessful!  The gym we go to is also pretty awesome! I have my pool, I am able to swim my laps, relax in the hot tub after and then head into the sauna or steam room. Both are incredible! I feel addicted to it! Even if Im not at the gym, I find I want to go just to sit in there for 5-10 mins and sweat the days impurities...

 Never, and I mean NEVER in my life did I want to be in this situation where I feel I need to altar my body to fit into a wedding dress. Which I really dont have to. But after a VERY horrible appointment with a bridal dress boutique that ended in lots and lots of tears and coming home to stuff my face and crying on my fiance most of the night. We made a plan. I allowed myself time to have a pitty party. But the next day there would be none of that.  Now, the most unhealthy thing we have been indulging in is Whataburger and that is twice a month. If even. My eatting habits really arent that bad. I've been sticking to a low carb lifestyle. Soda is a huge issue with us...But thats even been cut back and I meet my water goals every day. I just need to learn portion control!  We joined a gym, been working out and now have a better eating plan. I am extrmly sore today after last nights workout and think today I will just swim laps, hit the hot tub and sauna after? I'm not s...
