Photo Party!!

So the rest of the week, my life will be swallowed up by work. I have a huge deadline to hit by friday. So I will blog away tonight. So lets begin.

(I warn you, you will be attacked with photos!)

FALL . . .

Ahhh the trees are changing and leaves are falling, and the weather is getting chilly! Which means my Uggs and I meet again! As with my TOMS, I highly suggest everyone to own one, or more pairs of Uggs. Basically from September - March I LIVE in Uggs!! I also suggest, don't get the knock off's yeah they might be half the price. But the Uggs last A LOT longer. So spend the extra bucks to begin with so you don't have to buy 2 or 3 pairs for how long the Uggs would last!

MUM

Mums just SCREAM fall to me!

ART . . .

Decorated my cube a little bit!!

WATER . . .

My beloved Naglene!

YUMMY . . .

So yes, I am overly obsessed with frozen yogurt. I don't know if I ever mentioned, I drive 30 minutes to get it! Finally within a mile of my house will be FROZEN YOGURT! Yes I've already emailed about a part time job!

Free!

I cashed in some of my Nature Made points and got free SoyJoy's!!!

BUG. . .

I went to water Midge, and it looks like she's be whoring her self out... She had a new boyfriend chilling on the blind!

SMASH

This monster of a bug was in my cousin's car. He had a tragic death.... By a shoe. Look at all those gross guts!

I pulled out my Pandora bracelet (and new Pandora ring!) and have been making sure to wear it on my right hand so I can stay focused on my Weight Watchers!

COOL . . .

I received an cool awesome package from Jess!! With this lovely splat egg!

CONE

So I went over to my brother's house, to find my little niece having to wear a cone. Poor girl!

She has an ulcer on her eye and she keeps scratching it and it wasn't healing. So she's stuck with the cone. She's hilarious with it though!

The Letter F. . .

FOOTBALL!

Me and Mr. Barnaby watching the Alabama Game! Yeah, the game got us slightly nervous!

The Letter F again.

F_CK

So, after BC pill #7 and still having side effects with EVERYTHING. I talked to the husband, and asked how he felt if I went off the pill and we used alternate forms of contraceptives. We both agreed it was fine for my body to have a break.

Well I called the OBGYN, and my regular doctor was gone, and the doctor that put me on zoloft was gone too. I said to have my regular doctor call Monday. Well later that day I got a call from the on call doctor, who pissed me off. He told me that he didn't feel comfortable with me not being on 2 forms of contraceptives and was trying to force upon me the IUD. Which my best friend has the Mirena, and has to have surgery to have it removed. It's not something I've wanted or would think about. After the doctor fighting with me about it, and me say NO, No, NO over and over. I come home to find this today.... Are you fucking kidding.

I'm thinking this is great material to start a fire and roast some marshmallows!

What a week. . .

So, now that this week is come to an end. I figured I need to spend time to blog, to tell you guys I haven't fallen off the face of the earth and to just express things. Things I need to be able to talk about. (More of therapy for myself, sorry to bore you all)

September 19, I had been looking forward to it all week! It'd officially be Kyle and I's 3 months of marriage! We made it 1/4 of a year! Go us! Little did I know that I would dread the day of September 19. Getting the text from Kyle telling me that our good friend Ralph had passed away. At first I thought he was joking with me. I called Kyle, to hear him crying. Nothing tore me so much in shreds, my husband crying to me and I was 3 hours away. Getting the news our friend had died.

One of the many things I was blessed to have when I started dating Kyle. I was included in his group of friends. Kyle and I started dating, he was at first nervous for me to meet his friends and family. (Which I'm still rather confused about, I'm not that bad of a person am I) I will never forget that day that I met Luke, Brandon, Ralph, Autumn, Zak and Erin. It really doesn't seem like it's been just 5 years, I feel that they have been with me my whole life. Our Happiness begins, Luke and Jeannie get married, (and have little Miss. Maddy) Zak and Erin get married, Brandon goes off to Law School, Kyle and I get married. We were turning into the old married group of friends that you have for life. Just 3 weeks ago, I told Ralph that I do see him and Autumn settling down and eventually getting married. I swore to him that one day he would settle down and the whole party stage would leave. We are the bunch of friends that yeah, we may be a little strange, but we wouldn't change a thing about each other. We love how strange we are. Now being September 25, we all do know that we can make it through think and thin.

So being the strong group we are, we decided we need to make a cross to take to the accident spot. Although, I can't say I've seen just a plain cross at the local craft store. So being that Ralph was so loved by us, I told the gang that I felt we need to be together at this time and build a cross. So off to the local Home depot. Go Big or Go home. Ralph would expect us to go big. So we did!

For us, being together to talk about the wonderful times we had with Ralph we built this lovely cross. We picked to paint it green because Ralph loved Golf, and his favorite color was black! (Yes it was rather hilarious seeing us build this cross, I'm sure Ralph was cracking up laughing at us. In fact, there were times we were cracking up at ourselves.)

Boys putting the cross up!

We love you Ralph!

(In memory, we all wore pink ties (I wore a scarf) to the funeral (we left Frank's in the car))

(HOLY HELL, why did no one tell me I looked like a blimp)

We will never forget the times we've had together. All the times he's made us laugh, his crazy hair, the beloved white suit he showed up in to Zak and Erin's wedding, the many times we got together as a group and Ralph was always the one who was late. The memories just keep flowing, I could keep typing and smiling as I typed them. We will never lose those, or our love for him.

From everything we've been through this week. We've been lucky to become closer to Frank, who was one of Ralph's best friends. Looking back, I really don't know why we never saw Frank very often, I guess Ralph was just hiding him from us. I do feel we will now be having another strong friendship added to our group. (Well, if we don't scare Frank off with our shenanigans.... Which in our group, we are full of them!)

We miss you Ralph!

Sorry if I bored you all with my life, I know that aspect I really don't share. I try to be the one who's always happy go lucky and always wanting to make sure everyone is doing okay and make them smile.

So for the scavengar hunt.

Well one day this week was Sweet!

So my gnomies bring to you, {insert the lovely smell of pumpkin spice Yankee candle} the lovely sweetness of the candle I burn at the office daily, and I think they were deciding on what candies they were going wrestle over!

Life

I'm slightly confused on what day we are on for the scavengers! I'm not sure what today was, but I wrote down the rest of the week so we shall be good the rest of the week!

Today, I took a HUGE step. I faced that fact that dealing with changing medicines, being put on anti depressants, and having a friend pass away. All of which wasn't helping my waistline. After my much hard work I had done was starting to leave. I was up 20 pounds from the 70 I had lost. I was getting depressed (on anti depressants...) about my weight. So last week I decided that I feel I need to ween myself off the Zoloft and stop my BC. (The headaches still aren't leaving.) So yeah needless to say, my body is in SHOCK. But I feel it's for the best. I want to be able to be ME.

So I went back to good ole meetings.... of course with my tail between my legs like a bad dog.

So before walking into the doors, I decided to tell myself "No matter what the scale says I can't be mad." I know I haven't been good, dealing with more crap then I can handle. But it finally dawned on me that I can't just keep allowing myself to make excuses, if I just kept making more excuse I'd gain back all of the 70 pounds I lost... Not just 20.

Fresh Start!
Yes, I asked that they give me everything new. I wanted a new starting weight and week 1 book and all. I've decided that I need to focus on the new start and not ponder on the past!

So here's to a new beginning!

----------------------------------------EDIT------------------------------------------------

So Kyle and I went to Hallmark, and on our way home he informed me he wanted ice cream. (incase you all forgot, I'm an Ice Cream/Cupcake junkie) He even offered to take me to Sheridan's; which has my FAVORITE Wedding Cake Concrete!

I said NO THANK YOU!

I Megan W. said NO to Ice Cream. . . The World must be coming to an end!

Who knows what day...

I did have every intent to make sure and update all the days I've been slacking. To be rather honest. I have so much going on right now in life that I'm think let's just keep blogging, but not worry about the date and fulfilling my 365 days.

So let me share my life before tragedy hit me on Sunday!

My little Annie, Oh she is like my little sister! I am extremely protective of her. She called, she wasn't liking school she was having a break down. Last weekend was her sorority Family day. (She's an Alpha Delta Pi)

Annie and I at her High School Graduation!





Aww How can you not love her!

We picked her up and she came down to the lake! Where we had some shopping fun!!!

Interesting Right?

This lovely creature, was in the corner of the Mexican Restaurant my Aunt and I ate at. Hmmm Welcome to Branson, MO folks!

Old Married Hag?!

Of course my Aunt and Annie made fun of me A LOT, because the whole time I was out of town. I seemed to just buy Kyle underwear. Hahaha! ( I did end up buying him a watch for our 3 year anniversary)

FROZEN YOGURT!

Of course Annie and I hunted down an Orange Leaf. Which I will go ahead and throw this out there.... It's not my favorite. I would still pick peachwave over it.

Apples? It's a fruit damnit!

So while eating our frozen yogurt, we see Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! So we got caramel apples!

EEEK!

Yay! I got the ring I've had my eye on at Pandora for our 3 month Anniversary! And a new charm!

GROSS

Kyle and I were grocery shopping, and I found this. I couldn't' walk away without taking a picture.

Someone at work loves me!

So after hearing the news our friend passed away on Sunday. I wasn't looking forward to heading to work! I walked in and found a lovely box of muffins! I still have no clue who gave them to me. But they put some what of a smile on my face Monday morning!

Desk Buddies!

My newest purchase last weekend at Yankee Candle! Now my office smells lovely like pumpkin spice!

Why?!

So this weekend, I had went out of town to see my little cousin Annie for the weekend. The weekend was going fantastic, till I got a text from Kyle. Telling me our friend Ralph had passed away in a car accident. I've been through many deaths through out my life. Never a friend. Why did Ralph have to go, he was only 25. I find myself crying, and praying that Ralph didn't have to suffer. Ralph this post is for you!!

Ralph and I at Erin and Zak's wedding last year!

The boys!!! These boys mean the world to me!



You've always had the moves.

Oh Ralph! We love you and you will be missed!
