Giovanni's Baby Blessing

This weekend we spent in Orlando having a family reunion on Sam's side and got to attend the sealing of his brother Clay and wife Kristin. They are pregnant with their first and have totally turned their life around about 7 months ago. It has been an honor to be with them through thick and thin and to see them grow into a humble and wholesome couple. This weekend we also got to be there for the #17 grandchild to be blessed, Giovanni Edward Ciccarello. Sam's sister Rhonda and husband Joseph had their 4th child a couple weeks ago. He is the best baby and we just had a blast this weekend spending time with the family.

I did it!!! Thanks Jill!!!

Alright I finally drastically cut my hair! Thanks to my good friend Jill that I have known since we were 6 she was willing to style color and cut my awesome hair!! The last time I had my hair this short was 9 years ago and it was curly and a terrible accident. This was something that I wanted this time and have been to scared to do because of my terrible experience 9 years ago. The experience that I am talking about is when I was over at my friends house and she decided to straighten my long hair (about the length it was just before I cut my hair now). When she straightened it she saw that there were a few split ends and asked if she could "trim" it for me. Mind you she was 13 and I was 14, so she started cutting. When she was done one side of my hair looked trim and the other side was up to my chin!!! How she gradually got closer to my chin I don't know but I cried and cried and after hiding it for 2 or 3 days I showed my mom and she had to cut all my hair to my chin. I was devastated to have lost all my gorgeous long curly hair. Now it's taken me 9 years and I haven't cut my hair since, only a "trim" by a real professional but I finally decided to go for and absolutely love it and haven't shed a tear since!!! Tell me what you think!

The Nightmare Before Christmas!

So my absolute favorite time of the year is coming up, Halloween. I'm not into the whole satanic Halloween, I love the fall smell, the cinnamon brooms, the harvest decorations and going trick or treating with the nieces and nephews!!! My obbession for halloween began with the movie Hocus Pocus! It's my all time favorite along with The Nightmare Before Christmas which just came out on DVD and of course I got, and Beetle Juice. These are classic movies to me and when I decorate I go all out. I haven't put all the decorations out yet but I wanted to show you my newest addition from a place called The Pottery Barn.

What do you think!!!

So I've been wanting to do something totally drastic with my look and found this website from a friend called taaz.com So I was looking for a hair style that would be really good for me and found this one!! I might do it a little longer than this but along the same idea, so what do you think? Let me know if this would be really bad or good for me! I would get my hair chemically straightened and a little more blonde!

New bedding!!!

I haven't been on in a long time because my job is taking up all my free time that I use to have posting on our blog but I promise I will get those pictures of me in my cute new scrubs! Here is something I just wanted to show off, we got new bedding that I think is more modern and a good comprimise for a female and a male! Look at the older one compared to this new look!

DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!

I know it's been a long time but I am happy to say that I am EMPLOYED!!!! The dentist I was telling you about hired me after going through 3 interviews they finally felt comfortable adding a newbie hygienist to their team. Today was my working interview and tell me if this wasn't nerve racking enough: my patients were the dentist's wife (in charge of hiring me), his daughter , a receptionist, her husband, and the patient coordinator!!! I was so nervous cleaning my potential bosses staff's teeth! I must have been good enough because they were excited to add me to the team! I'll take a picture on my first week of work, they have the cutest scrubs that I'll be wearing! Just to tell you how awesome this dentist is, I was standing in the hallway the dentist puts out his arm for me to grab and send us both skipping down the hall, that's my kind of employer.

Wishing, and hoping, and planning and dreaming!

So I've been in the process of finding a job and I did have work but only for a week while the hygienist was in the hospital. So yesterday I got a call from a gentlemen who sells dental tools in our ward and he told me that his best account was needing a hygienist and he already talked to them and referred me. I called the office and they were so kind and friendly on the phone and asked if I could come in that day to have an interview. I quickly got ready in my cute new outfit and was at the office for 3 1/2 hours in the interviewing process. They called me today asking if I could come in Friday to meet the team leader. It's the perfect job and makes very good money so I am wishing and hoping and planning and dreaming that this job will be mine!!!
