Anniversaries!

Happy Anniversary to us!! We celebrated 4 years on the 25th! We had a lovely evening at home...after work, we made dinner together and really celebrated the fact that we had shared four years of marriage together. Then we did no other than watch the season premier of Grey's!! :) I also "celebrated" my 2 year post-op mark. Two years ago on the 20th, I was in a heck of a lot of pain in a strange hospital room in New York City, in and out of consciousness only getting to see Jay and my parents for about 5 minutes twice a day while I was in ICU. I was so scared and in so much pain but once I was moved to my room, every time I opened my eyes, I saw my precious husbands smiling face right over mine and felt my mommas warm hand on mine and my daddys big hands on my feet and saw my sweet mother in law at the end of my bed. At the time I wasnt sure what the outcome was going to be. We were all so hopeful that that was going to be it and after the scars had healed, the pain would be gone but I always knew that no matter what the outcome was, God had His hand in this. I still believe that His hand is in this and although my scar may be healed, my healing is FAR from over!! :)

But back to being married. In my last post, I mentioned that we were going to see a counselor to take the Myers Briggs tests, so I'll fill ya in on that. I can't even tell you how excited I am about the timing of it! Jay took his Personality test and we both took what is called the Enrich evaluation, which is for couples who have been married for a while, that lets you know your strengths and weaknesses. Our counselor will send them off, and in a couple of weeks when she gets them back, we will meet again and over 2, two hour sessions we will go over the results. It will basically see how we can better serve eachother in our marriage. We feel so blessed that we are able to do this NOW, long before there is a "need" for counseling because of a problem and we're also pretty proud of ourselves for taking the initiative to go ahead and do this! I'll keep ya filled in along the way.

Tomorrow evening Amy B. and I are going to a plastic surgeons office for a little PR. Dr. Cole is having an open house with all the reps from Botox, Juvaderm, Restalin, etc there to answer questions and actually do some "work" and we will be there representing Amy Head answering questions and showing makeup techniques. It should be fun!

MOST exciting though is that my SEESTER AND NEPHEWS ARE COMING!!!!!!!!! Sooooo spur of the moment, she decided to drive all the way from Ft Myers!! I am going to ride back with them in a couple of weeks and then fly back a few days later. I am soooo excited to see them!!! PLEASE be praying for their safety tomorrow and Wednesday as they are driving and also for her hands...she has sjograns disease which causes terrible pain in her hands (arthritis) when she drives for long periods of time!

I got Jays Bday present. I'm keeping it at my parents house because it's so big. He's going to be so surprised. It makes me laugh to think about it because it's such a grandpa gift. I'll have to post pics when I give it to him, he'll be so excited though. haha. What can I say, I aim to please :)

I think I'm caught up for now. Hope everyones had a great September!!

I'm still alive, just been oh so busy. Work work work! I havent even picked up the laptop so I'm just doing this quick post on my itty bitty iPhone. Which by the way I am ADDICTED to!!!! Jay got it for me before our Nashville trip and I haven't put it down since! :)

Thursday is our 4th Anniversary and Im super excited! We don't have big plans but I still love little milestones. We're going to see a counselor tomorrow who specializes in the Myers Briggs personality types and we are so excited. Before the rumors start flying, let me explain ;) We had this counselor come do a workshop at the Studio a month or so ago and we all took the tests to find out our types so that we could work as the ultimate team and of course service our customers better and Amy treated us all to a personal session with her. I have become so intriged by it and by sharing everything I have learned with Jay, we think it would be so beneficial to learn to communicate with eachother the best we possibly can before problems ever arise. This lady also does the pre marriage counseling for FBC so she's great with our ages. So tomorrow Jay will take the myers Briggs test since ive done it and we'll go from there! SO exciting!!

Anyway, Jays Bday is on Oct 7...he'll be 35!! I'm so proud of my ole man ;) Not sure of the plans yet but we'll think of something.

Well gotta run but I'll get back soon. Still gotta post about Nashville...especially my shopping finds! ;)

SOO much

So very much has happened since the last time I posted that I almost don't even want to post anymore but I'll try to catch up. The Fashion Show was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!! It was soo well done, I was proud to be a part of it. Of course the makeup looked amazing but every part of the show was thought out to the last detail and it was top notch and so high end. The models were amazing, the DJ was the best, the hair was perfect and the whole atmosphere was right on. I can't belive it all came together like it did.

Jay and I made a somewhat last minute trip to Nashville this past weekend and got back Wednesday. I won't go into detail but I will say that we had overwhelming confirmations about the directions that God is leading us. We have a meeting tomorrow that will give us even more answers. This is a VERY exciting season in our lives and a lot of things will be happening in the near future...sooner that we may have expected. I'll keep you posted as I can.

I know this is short but I am soooo tired...still car lagged I think and I have a full day at work tomorrow. Hope everyones had a great week!
