Brides, Brides, BRIDES!!!!

WOW!!
Today has been crazy in soo many ways!
I got to set up a Partylite booth at a Bridal Show today and it was alot of fun!
I was extremely nervous since this was my first time, but I got warmed up after about the 6th bride came by hahaha. It's crazy to see the different ages that came in and then to see their wedding date.
Alot were getting married in October...but then you saw the couples that just got engaged and were getting married in March!
Talk about a rush lol!
It was awesome to see their future Husband's there too!!!
Of course they all flew to the food/music booths, but seriously?? Props to them for coming because I know my husband would HATE it if I made him come along lol.
Now that I'm home and exhausted and FREEZING!!!
I am running on 5 hours of sleep, and were about to have a huge ice/snow storm the next few days.
So I will be in my home...catching up with these brides and entertaining my son till we can even try getting out of the house on Wednesday.
Well, enjoy a few pics from our bridal line while I go make some hot chocolate!!!!!

Just to clarify!

In my last post about me wanting a job...
I wanted to make sure noone thought I was getting a job so I can be away from my son.
I have always had a job since I was 16 and now being home for 2 years is a total change.
I want to be home with my son and teach him myself until he goes into Kindergarten.
There is also part of me that wants a job, not just for play money, but so we can be financially stable instead of living check to check.
Now, I have realized that next month when we recieve our taxes...we will be fine. We don't plan on spending the money on anything which means we get to save it all!
And no, I don't want to turn around and spend all that money on a daycare while I go to school.
I was just trying to get information about dental assistants if you are one...or getting advice on when to go from parents who went to school or are also planning on going once their kids are older.

Alright...enough explaining lol.
Here are a few pics from the 10in of snow we have had.
My phone won't let me upload the cute pics, so I will have to go to wally world and put them on a disc.



He LOVED eating the snow haha!

Possible Job choice....advice please!!!!

Okay, so the past couple months I have realized how being a stay at home mom is GREAT, but I really need time to myself.
I need to make my own money so I feel like I'm putting work in too, and have enough money to be able to use for our random "hey let's go to the city and shop" days!
Don't get me wrong, be a mom is a full-time job.
But I never get a break.
Were wanting to have another baby sometime this year or next.
When is it a good time to go to school?
While I'm pregnant...or after the 2nd baby is born, or now while it's just J?
I want to be a Dental Assistant!
I have thought alot about it and I think it's something I will be good at and something that I won't get bored doing or feel like I'm putting in more work than what I'm getting paid. Because, the pay is awesome!!!
Have any of you looked into that? Or are any of you in dental??
Pros and Cons please?!?!
They have a free dental class on base so I won't have to pay for school!! Woohoo!
All I have to do it decide when to go, since I will obviously have to put J (or 2nd baby) in daycare.
Only sad thing about getting this job is I have always said I NEVER wanted my child in daycare because I used to be a preschool teacher and I know how to teach him myself and want the excitement in seeing all of his "firsts".
Any advice?

Feels soo good!

I am SO excited that I found a friend here that needs to lose the same amount of weight as me and has the same type of body!
I went to workout with her yesterday and she let me lead it and teach her what I used to do with my trainer in Texas.
It felt wonderful to get back in the gym and in addition go to the sauna afterwards!
She is one who doesn't normally stick with things but we are being eachothers support system so I'm crossing my fingers that this works out!!
I'm sore today but still going to workout tonight with her! Then tomorrow were taking a break and having another Ladie's Night!
I'm 6lbs down and still have 24 to go but I truely feel like this is my year to lose it!!
That's IF we don't plan on having a baby soon haha.

Just a little picture to make you want to show off your pearly whites!!
