Some of you know that I have been suffering pretty bad depression along with anxiety for a really long time. A couple of months ago I decided it was time to really do something about it. A friend of mine here in Laramie suggested I go see her Dr. Let me tell you it has been one of the most amazing decisions I have ever made. This Dr. started me on a medication called Prestiq. I love it! I now feel like I have the motivation to get up and be a good mother to my kids. I take them to the pool and the park, even to the library! We read books everyday and I actually play with my kids. I don't feel like getting up in the morning is such a chore or that doing laundry or the dishes is going to be the end of the world! I love to cook for my family every night and we feed the Missionary's too! I love life! I have lost over 20 pounds since May and all I have done is watch my portions and I never eat after 7pm. I drink lots of water and just try to make smart food choices. I don't crave chocolate or anything for that matter. I have made a life change. I cant say I'm on a diet. I just eat better. Things with my husband are great as well. I love him and I am so happy I married him. We all have our faults and make mistakes and that's what marriage is about. We support each other (most of the time) and best of all we know how to forgive. I'm so thankful to have someone who loves me like he does.
Last but not least...WHAT DO I WANNA BE WHEN I GROW UP??! I want to do hair! I have been so passionate about hair since I was little and when my girls are in school I'm going to go to school! Since I have lived in Laramie I have cut Kevin's hair, mine, Kambee's and four other girls I know. Just in the last 24 hours I have highlited two and colored one. Tomorrow I am going to layer another. I love it! I am learning so much with the few cuts and color I have done and I now have pretty much mastered foil high lites! It takes me about an hour to do someones whole head in foil depending on how thick their hair is and how blond they want it but it is worth it. I did one tonight and it turned out great! Awesome color and IT WAS EVEN!!!! So yup that's my dream. Its not the biggest dream or one that's going to make me millions but its my dream and I will achieve it!!!
