Well, I haven't written anything in the NEW YEAR yet!! What the heck is up with that?!? I'll give an update now!
It's been a busy....8 months, at least. Between Wade being in weekend classes from September to December, now to him being on call, me booking weddings and scrapbook orders, volleyball, fitness and the animals....We haven't had a lot of time to think, much-less for me to write!
The new house is treating us well, we got the yard looking great this summer, all nice and green, and restored. Finished a room downstairs, and painted 4 out of 5 bedrooms. Then there's all of the minor things, new toilets, new faucets, decorating, hanging photos and mirrors, new light fixtures. We also bought a ping pong table, so that is keeping us busy as well.
Our fitness journey is going well, I've lost 12+ inches, 6 pounds, and I'm seeing a lot of things change with the appearance of my body. I workout 5 days a week, including volleyball. I'm currently training on a stationary bike, 2 miles a day for 5 days a week. I'm working up to 5 miles a day, 5 days a week. It's going to take a while, but it's my resolution, I want to get in shape, and be in shape for when we have our own little family, outside of our pups and kitten that is. We bought a new vehicle too!
So, I've mentioned scrapbooking! That's right, I've actually started my own scrapbooking business! I have premade pages available, and others in the making! I've had 4 orders so far, and have room for a few more! My Facebook page will be linked below! I'm loving it, I love working from home and helping out with the finances, while maintaining our home, and keeping our pets happy! If you're interested in a scrapbook, send me a message through my Facebook page!!
I also turned 25 so far this year!!!! January has been an ok month!

What Are You Waiting For?
Well, life is calming down a bit now that fall is upon us! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! Lots has happened! I had 3 weddings this past summer, and so far I have 3 booked, and 1 friends wedding for next summer! So far, so good! I'm enjoying it a LOT!
Wade and I have started a new journey! Not only have we bought a new house, but we bought a new vehicle! We've embarked on a fitness journey, we've been facing a lot of very difficult challenges in life, in regards to starting a family. Our journey to become fit has started with 6 workouts a week, not including volleyball, which we play once a week! Making 7 workouts a week, squats, push-ups, and abs! 30 day challenge, and we're also going to start making it harder and adding more and more to it! I'm also doing 3 extra workouts a week, one called "Short Total Pumper", it is off of the Pump Up app! I love the app, and I love the motivation it's providing! I'm mrspercy89, find me and add me!
It's never too late to start getting fit, eating healthier, and falling in love with working out and your new body! What are you waiting for? What's your excuse? What will make you develop the determination and commitment to change YOUR life and body?!?
Along with this news, I've also done some reflexology treatments. My first appointment was with a lady who has been doing reflexology for 45 years and did 3 years of official training! She was amazing, told me so many things about my body and my health. She believes that I don't have Crohn's Disease, but that I have been dealing with an almost clogged liver valve. She helped my body start detoxing, and boy did I detox....horribly! But, I have been feeling way better since I have finished all of my reflexology appointments, AND I have officially eaten spicy food and have had no side effects! Great, great news for me and my health!
Life has been good for us lately, Wade's really busy between work and weekend classes, and my wedding planning business, along with a part time job! We're happy people, enjoying our lives, and enjoying our relationship!

All Of Me (Generosity & Reward)
Since I have slowly started up my own business, All Eternity Wedding Planning, I wanted to take a moment and share a few things regarding my business and regarding people I have recently helped.
In April, there was an apartment building fire, 25 minutes from my house. It was completely destroyed, over 30 people lost EVERYTHING they owned except for the clothes on their backs. When I heard about this fire, I was devastated for the families, the children, everyone. Losing items to a fire is difficult, I've been through that, but losing EVERYTHING you own, I couldn't begin to imagine how all of these families felt.
I was on a Wedding Buy/Sell site for my area, and saw that there was a bride and groom, who's wedding was just under 2 weeks away, from the day they lost everything in the fire. I had the pleasure of meeting with the couple, discussing their losses pertaining to the wedding. I wrote on EVERY Buy/Sell site to get as much as I possibly could for this couple. The generosity was amazing, I honestly didn't expect it. It doesn't surprise me to know that there are good people out there, people who would give up their belongings, their items, and their time to help those who are in desperate need of a miracle, to prove that everything happens for a reason. I got SO many items together, and got SO many volunteers to help get what the bride and groom needed for their wedding.
Sometimes, the love, generosity, and genuine caring person I am, surprises me. I helped perfect strangers find everything they needed to go through with their wedding, to start the first day of the rest of their lives as husband and wife. I asked for nothing in return, the couple was hurting, they had SO much to deal with, things that most people will never experience in their life time. All I truly wanted to see was this couple go forward with their wedding and start their life, they deserved happiness after a tragedy like they had suffered.
I've just contacted the couple again, as they were recently in the local paper. They've rented a new house, at a higher rent than they were paying, and they are going to need household items. I have some, we're moving, we need them gone (decluttering), I WANT to help them. I have always had the desire to help people, it's what took me into the health care field. Helping people is what I live for, making people happy is the reward.
I am very pleased with my ability to WANT to help people, almost to NEED to help people. It's incredibly rewarding, and the best reward is seeing a tear in their eyes, a smile on their face, and that look of you melting their heart with your generosity, meanwhile melting your heart seeing how much they truly appreciate everything you have done for them.
To you, I wish you the ABSOLUTE best in your future, you both deserve nothing but the best. This will make you stronger, despite how you may feel now.

I Will Not Bow
I think this post will be more of a rant than anything, with a positive spin at the end.
Well, things have been insane in our lives. I have friends who are moving on with things in their lives, months before I thought things in the friendships would change. W and I are going through a lot, experiencing a lot, things are changing for us (and fast), as well as the stress of a multitude of things. That being said, finding good friends seems to be tough, finding good friends that want to stay your friends and support you through everything, is even harder.
A few of my friends have ventured on to a part in their lives, that we've been trying to venture on to for the last 1.5 years, and we aren't getting anywhere. Once they hit this adventure, I'm no one. I'm a friend the come to simply to brag about the adventure. When talking to someone who's been on this journey for 1.5 years, in which you know what their struggles have been, what they've gone through, the disappointment they felt and still feel, you need to be sensitive, and understanding that they may not want to talk solely about your adventure, and the one they have yet to achieve.
Friends who are like this, who can't stop talking about it, are left without friends, and those who are still working on the adventure, are left with no one, no support system, no encouragement, no one, we are simply left behind. What you don't realize is that you're hurting us, you're hurting our feelings, you're discouraging us (despite probably thinking you're encouraging us), but what hurts the most is that you can't stop talking about it enough to realize that we don't want to hear it, and that you're making it so we don't want to talk to you. We don't want to confront you about it, tell you that we don't want to talk to you, or that you're stepping on boundaries or hurting our feelings, because well, you just got great news. Please take all of this into consideration before you talk to me about your adventure.
On a plus side, we have officially closed the deal on our house. We will be moving on June 27th, a little later than we expected and hoped for, but moving nonetheless. We are beyond excited and we hope that everything else in our life just falls into place. Exciting stuff for us, but hopefully a few other exciting things will pop up and fulfill our lives.

Begin Again
Since I haven't written about 215 lately, the last few days definitely warrants a post! While it was so nice out this weekend, W and I have been outside getting everything cleaned up. Leaves raked, snow shovelled off of the deck so the deck can dry off, that kind of stuff. Plus detailing our two personal vehicles and W's work truck!
While outside yesterday, cleaning my SUV, our neighbour (215) was outside, and started shovelling the snow from his yard, into our yard... Yes, just as it sounds, being petty and trying to get us to give a reaction. I noticed he was shovelling the snow onto our yard, while I was detailing the car, and Wade came over, to "see" how cleaning the car was going, and 215 gave W a look, the kind of look that would piss any other person off, given what 215 has done to us.
This morning, I heard shovelling so I looked outside, and saw that he was doing it all again. Since the dog pen is completely swamped in right now, so we've put out a dog run in the yard, and have to take Sadie out and tie her to the line to go to the washroom and such. I took the dogs out for their morning fresh air and pee break, while 215 was outside shovelling more snow onto our yard, Dacia went straight for his area and started barking at him, telling him to get off of our yard! I grabbed my headphones and sat outside with the dogs, as Dacia doesn't have to be on a leash, so I just sit outside and make sure she doesn't wander off to where she shouldn't be. Meanwhile, he continues to shovel snow on our lawn, and when he's done he grabs his shovels, and shoots me a creepy "Whatcha gonna do about it?" stare, as he walks around into his yard. Gives off a major creepy vibe, and I greatly dislike it...
