Life

To say life has been crazy would be the understatement of the century! We had tons of family and friends in from all over the country (shoutout to my awesome friends in from Alaska!) Honestly enjoying my time with them and celebrating a beautiful wedding to my best friend truly took up a majority of time. A few days into the trip we all realized we didn't really take a ton of pictures because we were so caught in the moments together.

Now that the wedding has passed and everyone has gone home we've spent tons of time cleaning house and getting back to our true love of hunting. J's favorite wedding gifts would of course have to be his meat grinder and sausage stuffer attachments for the kitchen aid! Not only that I've had to get back into the swing of working and let me say that has just been fun. 

Now I'm being brutally honest with myself when I type this and honestly it could come back and bite me in the ass but here goes.... Am I happy? 

With my marriage and husband yes 100%...

In other endeavors that would be a NO!!!!! Am I content... yes but lets be honest contentment comes easy... I can settle for doing something as long as I don't absolutely HATE it. 

My passion and what I spend hours pouring over and enjoying though has to be fashion and DIY building projects. My issue with all that is figuring out how to make it all happen. I want to live out my passion but with a career like J's how do I do it? I'm sure if you've stumbled upon this blog you could be curious as to what he does that makes figuring it all out so difficult. Once I get comfy I will possibly open up a little more but lets just leave that topic alone for my own privacy/security sake (I mean there are crazy people on the inter webs...) 

Maybe this blog will fill that void and if it doesn't we will most certainly work from there and figure out my next step. Right now I want to leave you with an instagram/facebook roundup of some of my favorite looks and some wedding snap shots until I can get back to showing this sweet little nook of mine some love!





Our photographer Ann was super awesome and laid back like me so I just love all these fun pictures!


And yes I let these hilarious guys have guns at our wedding... That way no one could object!

Don't worry a full wedding post will follow once I get my house a little more organized!

Now for a few of my favorite looks as of late!










Follow my instagram for all sources of the above attire!

Following my last post most of you now realize I have a terrible fear of failure and letting others down. Once I was able to write that, post it and put it out to the world I decided that I do not want to let that hold me back from life. I have a super sociable husband that LOVES meeting new people (honestly I always sit back and wonder how he does it!) I always feel like I scare everyone away or I seem too recluse for them.. I've been called a hermit a few times and I'm beginning to own it! Earlier this week I did the unthinkable and found a way to put myself out to the world. I'm sure if you follow my Facebook or Instagram you have figured this out (and currently at my follower count that's the only way you got to this blog). I want to grow as a person, inspire others and create a healthy lifestyle for J and I to continue for years to come. Am I scared? Hell yeah! Am I gonna hear NO repeatedly... Most likely... Will these teach me a lot about rejection? That would b

Do you ever feel defeated? Like no matter how hard you try someone will always find fault with you plan? The struggle has been so strong lately that I gave up... Gave up what you may ask. Well I gave up working out, I gave into cravings and I mentally beat myself up. I avoid doing the dishes, laundry and cleaning the house. I love myself away and find reasons to avoid people after work including friends. I have started to pick fights when all I genuinely want is a hug. I've gone back to my horrible habit of picking the skin off my thumb and chugging cokes like they are water in a desert. (Thanks to this weeks criminal minds episode they make me feel like I have some mental disorder/imbalance.) So what to do going forward. I won't lie I signed up to be a beach body coach as an escape. A physical, financial and mental escape. The problem is that I am such a people pleaser that I let the words of few bring me down. I wish I didn't care what others thought of me! I want to

Lately I have caught myself being so caught up within this social media bubble. It keeps me up at night and stressed throughout the day questioning my abilities as a wife, homemaker, budgeter and employee. I don't have all my shit figured out, my house is covered in stuffing from dog toys and I have clothes piled up in laundry baskets. I love washing and drying clothes but I hate folding them... obviously you can tell I never worked in retail. I'm always terrified to try new recipes for the fear of ruining it or having something taste absolutely disgusting. I avoid interacting with new people for the simple fact that I rarely think out the words that leave my mouth and fear that I offend people without truly meaning to. I have breakdowns that I can't explain nor get to the bottom of. I feel at home deep in the woods waiting for a deer to cross my path and put meat in the freezer for my family. Snuggling my pups at home while they soothe my soul and put me at peace. Finding
