Blessed

So yesterday we were traveling west on the us 60 and were in a BAD accident. We switched into the far right lane and realized there was a desk in our lane. Brent swerved to avoid the desk but lost control of the Tahoe. We went from the far right lane all the way to the other side crashing into the cement median. We hit the front passenger side then bounced and ended up facing on coming traffic with the back end of the Tahoe smashed against the median. I remember it being silent as we were heading to the median. I thought no one can live after hitting this right? So right before we hit it I yelled out "Heavenly Father please protect us and let us live." He did! The Tahoe is a hunk of metal. The rims were ripped off lug nuts still in place. ITS A MIRACLE WE ARE OK. Our backs and necks hurt and I have a cut on my foot but that is all. We went to see how the baby was today and its fine. Healthy as can be! It measured 1/2inch and had a heart beat of 150. YAY! I don't know why Heavenly Father saved us but I sure am glad he did. I am grateful i still have my AMAZING husband and my baby. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers it means so much to us!

Baby Lewis

Sunday September 20
The night before I had decided I was going to take a pregnancy test, so when I woke up at 3am and had to go I made myself close my eyes and go back to sleep. So 6am rolls around and I know its time. I do the potty dance as I shimmy off my pants. I unwrap the test and do my thing. The first line is there saying I took the test right. That was a relief. After flushing and going about what you do after you use the bathroom I took a peek at the test"+". What already no way I went and sat on the bed for about 2min. I went back into the bathroom and there it was clear as day PREGNANT! I ran back into the bedroom screaming "BRENT BRENT I AM PREGNANT!" He sat up half asleep and said cool then went back to sleep. I was not happy with this response so I jumped on the bed and started dancing. I told him to come look he said bring it here. I reminded him there is pee on it so he got up looked at the test and smiled. Then we went back to the bed and snuggled. After about 10min of that I was ready to call and tell everyone. Brent said we should wait a while and think of a cool way to do it. Well I couldn't hold it in. I called my mom and 630am and told her, she cried. Then she reminded me that I need to take it easy because there is a chance I may not carry to full term. I knew this was a huge possibility but I was so excited I didn't care. So now a week later I can tell everyone....I AM PREGNANT! I am so excited and happy I don't even know what to say except this is a huge blessing and a miracle and I am enjoying EVERY second of it.

TORN

OK so i have been a mess the past couple of weeks. i am 40 days with out a period. i have not taken a test because i am scared it will say "not pregnant" and i don't want to hear that. i have been tired, have to go to the bathroom alot more, my chest is sensitive, and i have gained some weight. the thing that is throwing me off is i have been having cramps for about three weeks. so last night i could not fall asleep because i kept thinking about a baby, and when i did fall asleep i dreamed i got twin boys. not that i gave birth to them but that we adopted them. so i woke up this morning all excited then i realized it was a dream. i am a mess. i want a baby more than anything but know my chances of ever having one of my own are small. i don't know why i am writing about this, i usually don't tell people my personal problems. i don't know what else to say. i am sad and i think Brent is too but we have both decided that if we are not pregnant with in a year we will adopt so i know someday i WILL have a baby and i will love it more than ANYTHING in this world and i know Brent will be the BEST dad ever. this is what keeps me going.

Jump Start

So I feel like I have been dragging along the past couple of weeks so I have decided to give my self a jump start. I am going to do Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and weight watchers. I think the lack of exercise and eating junk food has made me feel this way. So if anyone wants to join me this could be fun!

Our little Charlie

So I never thought I would be the type of person who treats their pet like a human...Well I thought wrong. Charlie is treated like our child and not just by me, Brent is guilty too. He sleeps in our bed in between us. We hold him like a baby and take pictures of him in the tub. He loves bath time he just does not like getting his face wet.

So this past weekend we went camping with our friends Cody and Mel and their two dogs. It was alot of fun sleeping on the ground and playing with the dogs. Charlie liked to swim in the near by creek. He did not like when Brent took him to the other side and dropped him in so he could swim to me. It was a close call when he went under for a split second both Brent and I were ready to jump in after him. We had alot of fun!

Cheap and Easy

So on Saturday I found out that I can do hair at my salon. They just charge for the product (color) so between $10-$20. What a steal! So if you are wanting anything done just let me know. They don't book for me I have to do it all myself so email, text, or call me.

Ok on to more exciting stuff. I was thinking of how much I hate waking up early to get ready. So I decided to do some investigating on what are easy ways to look like you spent an hour getting ready but really on spent like 15min. Here is my list

1 Mascara it makes eyes look awake

2 eye liner defines those peepers

3 blush/bronzer adds color and makes you look sun kissed

4 naturally wavy hair Rock that body add some gel or mouse

5 straight hair use a little bit of back combing and hair spray

6 add hair accessories like flowers it makes it look like you put more effort into it

7 earrings even a simple pair can add some spice to your look

This is my list so far. I read ALOT of magazines and did some people watching to see what I thought would be easy but yet make a difference. What do you think? Do you agree, have more to add, give me your feedback!

If you don't want to spend a lot on beauty products Sally's has cheap but good hair products and ELF make up has good eye shadows. Also ULTA has good sales on make up. I like BENEFIT and SMASHBOX for my face and DERMALOGICA is what I swear by for face wash.

Health Care

So Obama is tying to make health care available for everyone. Being some one who cant get private insurance due to endometriosis I am all for health care but not when its FREE. When you just hand stuff out to people and don't make them have any responsibilities they don't understand how lucky they are and they abuse it. I have seen this first hand working in the dental field. People were getting FREE dental care and were not even grate full. This makes me upset because Brent and I have not have not had insurance for over a year and do our best to stay healthy. So to Obama I would say, make people learn a little bit of responsibility. Don't just give it away but make it more available to EVERYONE! What do you all think? Am I crazy or is Obama's plan not so smart?
