NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! Live with Chelsea Bean-how the world is a crazy place!

Well, there's good news and then there's bad news;

BAD NEWS FIRST:

This was just about to be my post on the good ol' facebook!:

"WOW! I can't believe that people are asking other people for money to support their own personal life style claiming that God said they should because they're Christians! Umm, how about being a grown person, and through living out God's word daily and tithing God will take care of you with out you having to ask for a hand out! Yes, you are someone that is serving his will, and yes, one person is a church in themselves, but you are not responsible for a building that is serving God that requires electricity or air or for other people that are serving God that have a legitimate occupation in that field and that need to keep a roof over their families' heads, therefore you do not need to receive people's tithes for God. "

PEOPLE ARE RIDICULOUS! AND WHAT'S EVEN CRAZIER IS THAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY GIVING THEM MONEY!!

NOW THE GOOD NEWS:

I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant! I'M PREGNANT!! :)

I'm pretty sure no one out there actually reads my blog, but if anyone does you'll be one of the first to know! I won't be announcing it on face book for a little while, but I just had to get it out! Jarad and I are both extremely excited, and can't wait for the upcoming year! Wish us luck!

PS: Don't worry, I won't be asking for money just because I'm pregnant. I know God will take care of my family.

"In everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"

1 Thessalonians 5:18

God showed me that verse the day that I thought I was pregnant and was scared out of my mind. He always knows what you need!

Later gaters:)

Eat Pray Love

I know I've basically given up on the whole blogging thing, but tonight I found myself wanting to write, preferably in something that no one will ever see, but since I have yet to bring everything from my grandmother's to my apartment I am without my beautiful leather journal. So I shall resort to the blog that I created many moons ago..

I've been reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and it's a book that she wrote to document her travels and experiences while on the path to self discovery. I am only in the first one hundred pages of the book and Elizabeth has traveled to Italy learning their beautiful language, and I am just so ENVIOUS of this woman! UGH! She went through a terrible divorce(of which I am not envious of) and lost all of her money(also not envious of) only to be able to quit her job, travel to Italy, India, and Indonesia, AND get all of her money back..but aside from that, so far her experience in Italy makes me want to just drop everything and do exactly what she did. Which is why I am envious, because I know I can't. I dream that one day I can though, Earth is a beautiful place full of so many different experiences waiting to be had and to not experience them all would almost be insulting to the Earth..

I'll leave it at that for tonight..

Birthday Wish

Another year has come and gone. I must say that out of all of my nineteen years this last one has been quite ridiculous for the most part. I forgot who I was, and found who I was all in the same year. I got married, lost all my friends, had security, lost it, regained it, got humbled, made up with my friends, and made some new ones too. At the very end of it all, before another year of my life has passed by I finally feel like I've found myself, who I am, and the core of who I will be forever. I know that as more years pass I will continue to change; like new things, forget old things, make new friends, lose some old ones, but I don't ever want to lose who I am now, I only want to  better myself more. Today marks the beginning of a new year for me, and in this year my life will change:)

I'm going to start my diet next monday so Sunday night I'll take two before pictures; a haggard one(don't know if I'll post it on here;too embarrassing!),and a semi-good one(I'll post that). After that my journey will begin, and I will update at least once a week!

See Ya!

A little bit too late update!

So I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm not too great at blogging. I enjoy the idea of entertaining people with my thoughts, but now I've realized that that is not why I want to blog. I want to do it for me, and that's it. 

As an update; Jarad and I are great, we have a nice apartment, great dog, wonderful family, et cetera. 

 As of late I've realized that I have all these dreams in the back of my mind that I have just pushed aside, and told myself "They're impossible, and you would fail", but now I'm telling myself that the impossible is possible, and as long as I don't give up then I will never fail. (P.S. My dog just tooted.EWW! It made its way from the kitchen to the living room, and it smells awful!) 

Dream 1: Career, nursing. No matter what happens I will accomplish this. I genuinely love caring for people, especially children and babies. I want to work in many fields with nursing, but the one that is at the top of my list is to work with the moms and babies in labor and delivery. Dream 1, part 2: Travel nurse! (this is why it is part 2) I want to travel and see what it is like to live in different places, and being a travel nurse means I can do that and still have a job! Plus, awesome thing about being a nurse is that you work a few days on and a few days off, which means there is time for exploring and really learning about where you live:)

Dream 2: Music, singing. I have loved to sing for as long as I can remember. When I was little I always wanted to sing on a stage for tons of people as a country singer. I sang all day, ever day in front of everyone and anyone. I didn't care, I used to sing as loud as I could with head phones on and the music blaring in my ears. I never realized how silly you sound when your singing to yourself but everyone else can hear you.haha As I got older I gave up on that, and I stopped singing in front of everyone. I got scared; scared that if someone rejected me because of my singing I wouldn't love to do it as much. It has always meant so much to me, and I never want to lose it. With a fairly emotional childhood I relied on singing to make me feel better. When I was upset or hurt I would turn on a favorite song, and just sing and eventually get lost in the song and forget about everything else.  ---- However I never learned how to play any musical instrument, so I could sing all day, but could never have music. So this year I'm going to learn how to play guitar, I figure that's a start.:)

Dream 3: Photography. This is really just a hobby, but it's something that I have been playing with over the past few months and have come to really love it. I love photography and how if you can capture a moment just right it can be truly inspiring. It's incredible; it completely blows my mind. So I would like to start doing something with that. I'm saving up for a new and GREAT camera. I'm pretty excited.

I'm also trying a little bit of a new lifestyle, I'm going to transition myself into an organic diet. I wouldn't exactly call it a dream,but more or less a New Year's resolution. I have always had issues with my health; constantly sick with something, cold or stomach bug. So along with eating organic I'm going to start eating healthier for an actual diet. I'm hoping that eating organic will help me stay on top of eating healthier foods. I haven't been happy with the way I feel about my self for some time now, so I decided that I can't wait any longer and I need to do something about it now.

New year, New things, New ME!:)

BTW, I have only candles lit in my house right now, and it looks pretty magical:)

Until next time! 

Seeeee YA!
