#38 Happy Friday!!

WOW 2 posts in one day!!!

It has been forever since I posted. So I guess I am in need of some serious updating.

Job Search

Back in July, I found a part time job which I absolutly love. It would be great if it was full-time. It feels great to actually have a job doing what I love and what I graduated in. I work in Thibodaux, LA at JW Toups. My work conists of design seasoning labels and tallybooks for various oil companies.

Freelance Work

This a picture of my cousins program. I will post more later.

My freelance work has picked up a bit thanks in part to my cousin. I have been designing all her stuff for her wedding: The programs, Engagement party invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations, place cards for the rehearsal dinner, and wedding favor tags. On top of all that, I am doing a slide show. (which is still a work in progress). Because of her wedding i picked up one more client.

I have another client as well too, but will post more about that later.

Weightloss

Over the entire summer, I have been playing with the same 2 pounds; it sure doesn't help having all the parties for my cousin. I guess I have sort of been maintaining for a bit. However, my weight has gone down 2 weeks in a row which is a total of 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks making my total weightloss of 33.4 pounds. I am happy that the weight is still coming off. I am glad cause I was a little worried cause I order my bridesmaids dress a size smaller. But it fits so I am happy.

I have found that I am a little bit more confident as the number on the scale goes down. I my goal right now is to get to the 50 pound weightloss. I don't know what will happen after that. I have found that smaller weightloss goals works better.

Before at one of my best friend's wedding!!

After...photo taken last weekend.

Weight Watchers is a fabulous weight loss program. I didn't want to do one of those fad diets. It seems like I have tried everything; I don't really know what it has finally clicked and the weight is coming off. I guess it is because I am truely ready. I also do Zumba 3 times a week. Within the last two weeks I have started taking an adult dance class which I couldn't be more excited about. I am taking it at my old studionThe Dance Co. I have missed dancing so much; I was so excited to find out the dance school was having an adult dance class. Dance was a big part of my life growing up and couldn't be more excited. Thanks Ms. Celeste.

In other news...
I have been reading a lot...So far I have finished the Blue Blood Series (about 5 books); Hunger Games Trilogy, The Help, and Safe Haven just to name a few.

#37 Safe Haven

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


First off, I got to say OMG WOW! I knew from reading the synopsis on the back of the book that I would love this book. I knew that it would be similar to most of Nichols Sparks books, however with some differences. Safe Haven dealt with most of Mr. Sparks's themes; love, loss, and some kind of tragedy. Nicholas Sparks's characters usually have some kind of tradegy happen to one of the main characters. When the story starts, readers are introduced to Katie, a mysterious woman moving to a small Southern town near Wilmington. Of course, with every small town in the south, the town, in this case Southport, begins to talk and wonder who this new person is, where is she from, and why did she move here? A love spark starts with Alex, a widower with two children. Katie must decided weather or not to risk falling in love and exposing who she really is or just keep to herself and avoid others.

I couldn't put this book down. I was engrossed yet again by Mr. Sparks. I have loved each and every book he has written. He is able to bring readers in and not only keep them in, but keep them in suspense. Not to mention, his glorious love scenes. (Girls you know what I am talking about.) He has the ablility to write a beautiful love story filled with everything many women want in their dreams of one day falling in love; he has the ability to do what not many writters can do and he is a man. (Go figure.) How on earth is he able to do this?

Well on the the next book! Happy Reading everyone!
