Hello MONDAY!

Litte Rant and get to know me ...pictures...and about my monday morning run/walk :) 

Over the past year i get questions about me working and not working....

-have you found a  job yet?
-what are you looking for?
-don't you get bored not working
ETC ETC ETC....



Biggest pet  peeve over the last year is questions about me and getting a job.
For one... its none of anyone business, but I felt as if i wrote this post out I would feel a little better and release from negativity from people.

I got a job at a tanning salon at the age of 15 and worked until after I graduated High school when I found a great great great job, I worked at Classic Products (Bowling Distributor) for 5 years & if you read "Our Story" you would know that's how I met Tevis. && if you also have read through Tevis' Story you will better understand why i moved to the Indy area and that I have not been working since march of last year. MY CHOICE. MY DECISION!

I was comfortable at my job I had, i loved my customers and was good at what I did. So when it came time to look for a job i always had a bad attitude about it. I lived off my tax money and savings all last year and of course Tevis  helps and my parents help. I do not have that many bills, its really no big deal that Tevis takes care of me. If he didn't like it he would make me get a job! I was being picky about a job and when I did have interviews for jobs i was really into obviously it never worked out. So i decided to go back to college, figured I have a great support system, Tevis, and more stable in life. I started Online classes @ harrison college last September  && let me tell you something, I spend HOURS & HOURS on school work. With lots of talks with Tevis, there was no need for me to find a full time job, til school was done. I may need a part time job but things have been fine money wise, so i figure once we move we will see how money will be and we will make the decision if i need a part time job or not until I am done with school. Our goal is for my to fully focus on school and not waste my $35,000.

I do not get bored sitting at home, because I just don't sit at home. Yeah i have my tv junky nights, but its not every night. I cook, do dishes, clean, do laundry, take care of tevis, we have delaney every other weekend, school work, & take care of myself. Tevis is a full time jobs sometimes, use to be lots of sleepless nights. Things are getting better there, thankfully. & Once we move, i will have even more cleaning and responsibilities and even outside work. So me not working, isn't such a bad thing. I am thrilled i am going to be a home owner and love being a house wife to Tevis.

Come one who wouldn't love having all the flexibility? I can go get my nails done whenever( thanks to Tevis ), i can meet up with friends, have lunch dates, dinner dates, Go see my parents up north almost whenever, go bowl, if Delaney needs us, we are there in a heartbeat, go on random weekend trips or plan a vacation without work getting in the way..ETC ETC. So ya see... not working isn't bad!!

I love not working..end of story. If i need to MAN UP and get a job I will. I just don't don't think people should sit and complain or judge about me. My life My Decisions My Choices. You can complain if your paying my what little bills I have then you can talk ALL YOU want.

Once i am done with school & get my degree which will be Medical Reimbursement Technology. I will be able to work in insurance companies & do medical coding and billing, I could even work from home which is my ultimate goal. Who wouldn't love working from home!!!!??!? So yea see, i have a goal, i have a game plan, I know what i want to do. I wont be jobless forever, and if that's my decision right now? Stand by my side don't criticize ...because we are all human, and not everyone is perfect.
seen this on Google. CANT WAIT TO BE AN AUNT! 

my alarms are set for the week! Got out this morning :) 

Love my new Workout Tank Top

Delaney's First Grade Spring pictures! 

Its Monday &  A new week. Got my alarms set and going to get out there this week and run/walk Taking my sweet time getting the hang of this running thing because i have time to work at it slow! Still don't know how i am going to be able to run longer then 5 minutes without stopping LOL.
Today i got up at 8am, got dressed and ate a little something I was out stretching and ready to go.
I used my c25k App again. and this time i only did 5 set out of the 8 I didn't want to over do it like i did last week & maybe by Friday I will be able to do all sets of 8. baby steps :)
OOOH and man cant wait to move... i hate all these lose dogs around the neighborhood.

HAPPY MONDAY everyone!!! Remember to go "like" my fb page and follow me on IG. :) I love interaction with readers!

Running...day 1

Happy Tuesday loves!

I want to first off tell you that I AM NOT A MORNING PERSON!!

Yesterday I decided that I have my running shoes so I need to stop with the excuses and just get up and get outside and run/walk. Well i woke up at 9 Monday (that's EARLY for me) and noticed it was rainy and crappy out. So yesterday did not work out since I was gone rest of the day and didn't get home until 10 pm. So i made a target run yesterday afternoon and got a new sports bra, couple new workout capris and awesome socks. I was fully READY TO GO! 
So i love Target, haven't been in awhile and this one which is a SUPER target is like just miles from my soon to be new house! YAY

Two new capris..sports bra..socks! WAHOOO



I checked weather for this morning, it said rain will start at 7am :( boooo. So i set my alarm for 8am, took another step to get up an hour earlier from yesterday. I got up seen the SUN SHINING and got my workout clothes on grabbed my phone & headphones and used the C25K app today. It started off with a 5 minutes walk then i did 8 sets of jogging/running for 60 seconds then walk for 90 seconds & then a 5 minute cool down! 

I am so extremely proud of myself! It was ugly and i thought i was going to die! BUT I DID IT! I DID IT I DID IT! I texted my mom and dad to let them know :) tevis was very proud of me and gave me praise when i plopped on the bed after, haha!  Now tomorrow I may just walk more then run to just keep easing my body into this. its been over an hour and my legs don't feel like jello anymore. To give a little background on where I live...I live with Tevis but with his boss for the time being.. we are in the country. I wanted to get a gym membership but need to save money. So i decided to just run on our street...UGH i will go to the back thats just a few miles away now...with trails and a little safer! I dont mind the cars that occasionally come by me i am AFRAID of the dogs! So many dogs around run lose, it just scares me! I cant wait for July to be here, we will be moved in our new house (old to Tevis) and in a nice safe addition that i can run/walk on sidewalks and ride my bike :) I am determined to keep this up since i have my first 5K in september! So sit back and enjoy my journey with me! 

& remember to follow me on my Blog FB page and IG  Icon buttons on the side! Have a great Tuesday Everyone!

No excuses now. I CAN DO IT!

Hello all my lovely readers/followers!

Yesterday & Today was absolutely great days and i can't to share with you why!

We plan on finally moving into our own house by July 1st, so we went furniture shopping yesterday. It was so fun looking at stuff and picking items out with Tevis. I was all giddy and felt like an adult buying items for my house, eeeek! Can't wait to move and take pictures and show everyone. I also was able to go to Old Navy and buy some capris and i am down 4 sizes. YAY! I havent bought any sport bras yet, I am pretty sure Tevis would kill me for buying a sports bra for $46 I think i may wait a little bit to show him i am serious about running/exercising.

Now i am going to photobomb you and trust me you will like what you see :)

Last night i spent a long time separating counting and rolling change while listening to Todays Country on Pandora.

A lot of money right there which let me go SHOPPING today! SCORE

I am doing this #photoadaymay challenge on IG. Its not too late to start, so follow me on IG and tag me :)

Then I dropped off Tevis at work and decided to bowl a few practice games to burn some calories off from lunch. I bowled a 118 my first game. One of my highest yet. YAY
Then it was shoppign time where i walked some more to burn some calories :) I invest in this starter kit from BareMinerals. I am so excited about this!
