Fun Feature

Hey guys, how cool is this? One of my favorite bloggers had a great idea to feature some of her readers in a special style post! Myself and 5 other lovelies were featured for wearing outfits that cost under 50 dollars. My outfit was $3.60...haha! I wore it in this post.I was pretty stoked when I saw it on her blog. Check out the post here! And be sure to check out the rest of Kyla's blog as well-I adore her style.



On to today. I finally went and got my name changed!! I know it took me forever...6 months to be exact. But it's done and now I can finally start getting everything changed over to Katie Aman. It took me forever to find the social security place, but that's because half of the sign was hidden by snow. I had to drive by it like 5 times before I finally saw it :P

It is Sean and I's 6 month anniversary today! It's so weird that it has been 6 months...I feel like we've been married longer than that. At the same time I remember our engagement seeming so long like the wedding would never come. Now it's come and gone and 6 months have passed! So surreal.

Hope you all are enjoying your Monday :)
God Bless,
KJA

Sunny Sunday

It's a sunny one out there today folks! I should have put some sunglasses on, but instead I decided to just cover my face...hence the super attractive picture of me doing so. ha.

We played about a billion hours of kinect yesterday. I'm pretty sore. They had a sale at best buy so we got three new games!! Of course that meant that we had to try them all out. One of the games is kinect sports and is a total blast. There is a boxing game where you and another person can box against each other! I beat Sean once and he beat me once...I told him that that was how we should fight from now on because it was so much fun! I can't wait until my family comes to visit so I can watch them all play. We also got the dance game for the system. I love to dance, so it's the perfect game for me, but Sean refuses to play.

Today we went to our third church. It was alright...I don't know that we'll be going back. Finding a church that you like after moving to a new place is quite the challenge. Either the service is at the wrong time, or something just doesn't feel right. We got in and out of church today without talking to a single person...I really don't think that's a good thing? But I suppose it will just take some searching and we'll find the right place. As of right now my car is completely gone I think. If it wouldn't start today with the sun shining on it then I don't think there's much hope for it...It just stinks that I can't go anywhere while Sean is at work. I even have to wait for him to come home just so I can go buy milk. I'm praying we find a car that isn't too expensive.

Well, I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for the week ahead! Love you all,
KJA

What would I do without you?

Well, today has been miles better than yesterday. Actually it started last night when the hubby got home. I had been bugging him at work all day with my class problems and on top of work he was doing everything he could to help me out with my class. Then when he got home he brought me my favorite flowers-snapdragons along with some daisies- because he knew I had a terrible day. It was the sweetest thing. Then he took me to barnes and noble to pick up the book I needed for class (which he had called and reserved for me during work). We then went to the grocery store where he bought me one of my favorite suppers (shells and cheese anyone?) and even snuck a reese's big cup in the cart and presented it to me when we got home (see picture below ;) )
After supper I worked two an a half hours and got two weeks of work finished and submitted for my class. I feel so much better and having my hubby be so sweet and supportive was just what I needed. I don't know how I didn't lose my head before I knew that man. I thank God for him everyday :)

On another note, we have some friends coming to visit today! I don't think we've gone three days in a row that we haven't had any visitors since we moved here. It's been great!

Today I am just praising God for taking away my stess and worry and giving me those people in my life who love me and take care of me. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
God Bless!

Rocky....road? Ice Cream?

I gotta admit, this has been quite the rocky day. The only bright spot in it so far was going out to have lunch with Sean's mom.
I am having a lot of problems with my one internet class. One would think that a single, little internet class couldn't cause many problems. But of course this is me we're talking about and I can screw pretty much anything up. I won't go into detail, but basically I got myself 2 weeks behind in the class and now I have to wait another week for the book to show up so I will be three weeks behind. Today is the last day to drop the class and get my money back, but I'm going to try and stick it out and see if I can't make up the points. The worst thing is that it isn't even my fault that I'm behind. The professor for this online class was very elusive in the way she set up the website and didn't post anything or email us the past two weeks. I looked and searched my heart out and finally today she posts something and I find out that I'm two weeks behind. grrr...Ok enough ranting...I apologize.
I know it will work out and I am stressing too much, but right now I'm just a big ball of upset...Lord help me!

But, I did get to get out of the house for a bit to have lunch with my mother in law. My car still won't start so she came and picked me up :) I'd like to be able to go the library or something at least but that doesn't seem to be an option right now :) haha oh well.

It's days like this that just make me want to go to bed and start all over again...maybe I will!

James 1:2-6
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

God Bless!

Put Me in the Funny Pages

It was so cold when I went to take these pictures! Hence the extremely uncomfortable poses and faces...so...sorry about that :) I was surprised to find that more snow covered up my picture taking path again, and I wasn't prepared to shovel. So I had quite the time taking pictures today! But that's alright. I'm wearing a super comfy outfit so I feel good. I tell ya these jeggings are kind of the bomb dot com...yes I did just use that phrase!

Anyway...go read yourself some comics. That's what I've been doing with my day. Well, that and dishes. I would recommend Calvin and Hobbes or Peanuts :) Two of our faves!

Hope you have a fun Thursday :)
God Bless!

Have you seen the warm? I seem to have lost it...

Well, another day, another morning that my car won't start. Today I went out at 10 with plans to go to the grocery store, but my poor car sounds so sick. It tries so hard to turn over, but then it just makes this "whoop" sound. Like it has a cough. Poor Roxy. Now the dilemma is how am I supposed to find a job anytime soon if I can't make it to work? And how are we supposed to afford a car for me if I don't have a job? Oooh fun stuff. Maybe I will go out and try it this afternoon. Of course with a temperature of -16 what can I expect from my car? I wouldn't want to start in that either...

I asked Sean yesterday what I should wear and he told me to wear this sweater, that's as far as he got. I'm pretty sure when I asked him to pick something out for me he probably thought I was nuts. But I wore the sweater-it's nice and warm and my shawl is like a comfy blanket :)

Well, I hope you're all surviving this deathly chill. I see people around my apartment building constantly outside without coats on-do they know their blood can freeze in this type of weather???? How crazy do you have to be? I was pretty sure I didn't live in the arctic...but at -16 I'm not so sure anymore...

I'm sorry I harp on the weather so much on the blog, haha. I guess my life is just kind of boring right now. I don't have a job yet, I don't go out on adventures all over, I don't travel. I'm sure you really want to hear about my laundry and dishes, but I will spare you :)

I suppose I should keep Proverbs 31 in mind :D

Proverbs 31:27
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Have a blessed day :)

Cloudy with a high of 0...

It's another cold one out there! I decided to pile on as much sweater-y material as possible, a huge sweater and two scarves! The high today was, like 0 degrees so I really don't mind being frumpy as long as I'm warm!

I worked on my resume today finally! I realized that I really don't have much for qualifications...I haven't had many jobs in the past but I'm working on it!

Happy Tuesday everyone :)
God Bless,
