NO LONGER HOMELESS :)

Well I'm happy to report that I'm no longer homeless. We got housing the day before yesterday and we slept here last night.

It's a nice sized apartment so i can't complain, 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.......AWESOME! All for the price of bah which is always nice!

Since we have a fouth bedroom I'll have me a scrap room which I'm finding to be a must because i just have way too much stuff so it all worked out well.

We don't get our stuff until Monday so until then we are in a empty house which beats out the hotel any day! 3 kids in a small room equals hell....poor kiddos no room to play and poor me no where to be alone.

I'm very upset to report that my husband will be shipped off to war in June and he'll be gone for 15 months which is the minimum here at Fort Drum :(. I'm going to miss him so much as will the kids but we will survive.

Anyways no more news for now.....at least nothing that I feel like typing about I'm TIRED!

I'm in my home town of Wichita, KS and I'm tucked away at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It's beautiful here!

It's nice to get away from the kids for a little while

and spend some quality time with D.

I had some time to type since my hubby is off looking at getting his car painted so i figured

i would take some time out to update my blog.

Well i think I've mentioned that we are moving to NY so KS was just a much needed stop so that we

could visit our family.

Every thing is pretty much the same as we left it except we are missing

two extraordinary people........Delisia and Uncle Ricky you will all be missed.

The city of Wichita is gorgeous and I can't wait to settle down here.

It's nice to see family and friends again although we haven't seen every one.

It's been difficult because we got sick when we got here and that

was definitely the opposite of fun.

Other than that it's all been fine and I hope that I'll get to take a ton pictures this time.

I so miss my scrap booking and i even stowed away a couple of things so that i could do a little bit of

scrapping but it hasn't happened.

With another class starting Monday I'm sure I'll be busy especially since it's drawing. I'm excited to get

started!

Well I'm going to get off of here and just sit and enjoy the quiet.

Oh gosh it's been a week since I've posted I'm sooo bad LOL.....

The 411 we are moving to

NY!!!!!!!!.....

We just found out a couple of days ago and we leave on Wednesday. The movers are coming to pack us up on Monday.

How do i feel? Well all i can say is that this is military life for you!

Sigh I'm going to be with out scrapbook stuff for a looong time and i just keep telling myself that i will have my computer and i can just throw myself into studying my new programs.

I just got Adobe suite and that SA WEEEEET!!!

It goes so hard and i can't believe it's mine.

I wanted to go out for a couple more design teams but i can't because I'll be homeless for a while and I'll be a traveling sistah.

I'm going to try and update my blogs but i suck at doing it when I'm not traveling so i probably won't be here for a while........

who knows keep a look out for me.

I'm just so dang sad about having to pack my stuff up!

Well i need to go to bed because i got a bunch to do in the morning.

I got my stuff!

WOO HOO scrapmode delivered big time! I got lots and lots of goodies. I can't wait until have some time to create something. It doesn't look like it's going to be happening soon but i can dream. School has been keeping me very busy which is awesome because I've been learning plenty of interesting stuff. Right now we are working on knowing the basics of several different software programs and working on our portfolios. My portfolio is coming along not great but improving. They've also got this awesome place where you can go and look for people who are hiring in your field. It's way awesome plus they have so much more. Well I'm going to get off of here and do my reading assignment. I'll be checking out some of the galleries that i frequent to try and keep up with every thing.

PS. I've embarked on a weight loss Journey I've gained back some weight plus some and I'm a hot mess but I'm in the process of changing that and I'm bringin sexy back! Check out my blog  http://thelollislegacy.typepad.com/im_bringin_sexy_back/ My DH designed that sexy lady silhouette with my direction.....LOL it counts it does! Anyways check it out and post if your going through this too! I need all the support i can get.

Love ya!

catching up

Well a quick catch up! Chervonne lost her tooth so now she's toothless in the front she's sooo delicious. The tooth fairy left her two gold dollars :). Little D is good and Ahquila well she's bossy!( now i have that song in my head......cuz i'm a boss boss boss boss).

D and I are well D and I. I love em' to death even though some times i don't know why LOL. Lets see I've taken a real interest in my health well because I've got a roll around my neck!...

Have you

ever seen

someone

with a roll

around there neck! Well i have one and I sit here typing it's cutting off my valuable air supply. So needless to say I'm serious LOL I don't know how i missed it but some how i did. ACK! Anyways I've been doing awesome so far and waiting for some new goodies to get to my door step. We shall see how they work. Anyways I'll be documenting my journey on my new weight loss blog! WOO HOOO......yeah LOL that's funny two blogs about my exciting life huh? I know that's what your thinking. I have some loyal readers out there i check my stats and it's probably the same few people love ya'!

Anyways about what you really want to know because i know your dying to find out what creative things I'm doing (said in the most sarcastic voice every).......Well I'm trying my luck on my second batch of ATC's because the first batch drowned in my street the other day. I was just too disgusted. So thats what my creative life is up to right now. I've been busy with school a good busy though. It's because I'm taking two classes right now but it will be 1 in 3 weeks. Can't wait! I'm thinking I'm going to be trying out for a couple of my dt. I like the process because it makes me create makes me feel like i need to get something done. Well my kids are getting creative.......and that's not always great.

TTFN!

Trust the man

So baby what was that movie called? "Something about the man is always right" I'm sure that wasn't it...he wishes!!!

so

Anyways.....I wanted to get on here to comment on this movie that i watched called "trust the man" Okay so when D brought this home and said this is for you all I could think is why because judging from the case it just doesn't look all that appealing. We are always teasing each other about picking out not so entertaining movies and I'll admit that I've won that one fair and square......I will never admit to that though. So anytime i get to give him a hard time about a horrible choice I do. I teased him all last nite about it and when he walked in LOL. Yeah once again judging the book by its cover or rather the DVD and ended up with my foot in my mouth. This movie was HILARIOUS!!!! It made me cry and it made me laugh......wow....yeah i know that sounds super cheesy but it's so true you have to go and rent it. It's definitely worth your time. I wouldn't classify it as a chick flix you and hubby can watch it. I think it really shows how real relationships go through problems and even though we aren't perfect we still love each other.Well I'm going to get off of here and go to sleep and cuddle up to my super handsome hubby he he. Early morning tomorrow totally procrastinated and need to get this Stemma layout done.

Smooches!

So far I'm loving school! I'm learning so much right now and I'm enjoying every step even though Office 2007 almost made me take my lap top and smash it into a million tiny little pieces! So frustrating it looks neat but doesn't operate exactly like the my old version and thats what I'm used to........Say it with me WOOOO SAAAAHHHH......it's all good he he LOL.

Lets see what else did I do today oh I took Chervonne's braids down and washed her hair. For all of you that don't know that's a job! Oh gosh it takes sooo long! So she will be sporting her two french braids until I can get the time to spend another 3 hours braiding her up again.

I love her french braids though too cute on her! She loves swingin her beads though you can't tell her she ain't all that! Oh yeah Saturday I went to my red hat meeting and when i got back my husband said that the kids were calling each other mediocre......I thought I'd roll over and die when he told me that LOL They are always saying something children are soo entertaining!

A real quick quirky fact about me and my DH: He waxes my eye brows! Alot of women freak out when i tell them this. He actually does a really good job at it, I think it builds our trust. Give it a try if you dare! Side note he's an artist.

Star struck and disapointed

OK so on a semi sour not I didn't make the dt at www.scrapologie.com but you should go see who they picked OMG they rock! NO wonder I didn't get picked! I need to establish my stuff a little more and that's cool no hard feelings at all. I'm still fabulous through and through ;) LOL So anyways if you look under my entry WOO HOO at the comments Amber Skolnic left a comment about my scrap jack that I did of her! Now that's something coming from her because her work is just ridiculous in a super awesome way she goes hard. So anyways what to do now?.....DUH enter for another team they can't keep passing up my incredible talent huh huh.......LOL. One thing I can admit is that doing the entries are so FUN if you ever thought about doing it you have to get in there. Nothing like stretching your creativity! I'm telling you it's sooo worth every second of it! Until next time peace and a bottle a hair grease......oooo I'm soooo hip HAHA LOL!

Is it possible?

Is it possible to turn scrapbooking into a career? I ask myself this over and over again and I just keep coming up with the same thing over and over again. It's gotta be a way. I don't know how to do it whether it's a combination of magazine submital, doing your own kit club, scrapbooking for hire or if it's just one of these. Who knows?!?! All I know is that I LOVE this and some how i'll figure it out. Some say  "just scrapbook for fun", but see that's what i'm talking about doing what you LOVE!

I know people will say i love doing this hobby or whatever but for me it's so much more. I love this with every ounce of my being. I'm now taking college courses in design yep it's that important to me it's my thing. I want to wake up and design and to feed my family from this that's heaven. This is what i want my career to be. Why not? Why not get up every morning and LOVE what you do? Thats the life for me and I know that it's going to happen. I have no clue how but it will because i want it to. I don't even know how long but it will happen. Maybe it sounds ridiculous to some my husband just kind of chuckles but hey dreams come true and I know that mine will too. Makes me just ecstatic to even think about it. Anyways i'm gone for the nite gotta do some reading. Catch you on the flip side.

WOO HOO!!!!!

My layout won for the pub calls sweetness over load contest. You can check Napturality out in my gallery! I'm so excited LOL I'll have to post the pic of what they send when I recieve it. Just wanted to get on here and celebrate. Make it a great day.
