the old....

okay so i promise my house isnt like filled with ghosts and i also promise i have a really good camera... but the day i took these pictures construction started so therefore.... its blurry from all the dust but here is some before pictures

outside... trees bushes will be removed, porch repainted, door repainted 

who knows why they pit sliding glass doors where the garage should go...  but will be a three car garage

entrance to basement apt. 

basement kitchen

again... kitchen will be redone... really cool plans in place.. planning on being a very masculine kitchen 

the random 3 way entrance in the house... there will only be one entrance  

the main kitchen... will be a galley kitchen with white countertops, and a moveable island

i promise they arent orbs... it was sooo dusty 

walls being torn down to fix electrical 

upstairs bathrooms being expanded 

its a project to say the least 

My New Home Sweet Home....

For about 9 months now I have been 

on the hunt for a house...

not for my family but for me :) 

My mom i so incredible and has bought a house 

for me and some friends (who will pay rent) to live in... 

we went through losing a house 3 times.. 

which is sooo frustrating.. 

you get your heart set on a house, you start imagining

what you are going to do to it, and where certain 

pictures will go and then BAM its under contract 

and your hopes and dreams are gone! 

But my mom smart and wise as she is, 

always told me; 

"That just means something better will come along!" 

well that something better might have just came.... 

We found a house so extremely close to the U its crazy!!

Ummm no looking for parking for my roommates and I...

Its GINORMOUS!!!

all the other houses we were wanting were around 2,300 sq ft.

dont worry this one is 3,262 :) 

with the mother in law, (which i will rent out 

to either my step brother, cousin, or brother in one year...)

including that area there is 7 BEDROOMS AND 4 BATHROOMS 

that amount is INSANE for a salt lake home

and the best part... it was the same cost as the other we wanted... 

The house is super outdated and need some MAJOR TLC, 

but what could honestly be more fun then being able to 

completely turn this home into my own...

So we've put and offer on the house and it was accepted, 

now we just need to send in an inspection agent 

to make sure the are no hidden MAJOR faults 

like mold, termites, other bad things that destroy homes and you'd never know

and then IT IS MINE!!! 

so here a glimpse... more to come as the house progresses, slash 

is for sure mine, with the key in my hand!! 

The Location on a Map.. yes all that tan area is the U 

the cute outside..

and the kitchen that will be magnificent thanks to Mountain Land Design :) 

I let everyone know once inspections has passed! 

Wish me Luck!!!

I MISS MY HOES.... 

A LOT :( 

   

the heavy...

Go me.. two posts in two days! Thats a first 

my ritual blogger friends would be pleased :) 

But I thought I would discuss something that has been consuming my life...

Weight... Diet... Health.. YUCK YUCK YUCK  

It all started last november when I got strep throat 

the doctor put me on some steroids to help with the pain,  which made me BLOW UP! 

but at the time i didnt realize it was because of the medicine

plus the treats every single day sure factored in

Anyways...

My face, joints, stomach everything expanded I felt at that time a million pounds heavier then my usual weight, so i started becoming an exercise whore... 

every single day sometimes even twice a day

 well now i have gotten back to my normal weight and 

to my pleasure even lost a few extras but then i realized... 

I've become obsessed with being skinnier I am below what i have weighed for three years now, 

and its still not good enough for me so when will good be enough?? 

When will my skinny become too skinny??

Media, society, friends, everything impacts they way I view my body...

and i have now maintained my weight and i want more

I look at every single girl i pass and decide wether im heavier or skinnier then them..

I judge and evaluate every single person which is awfull but i admit it. 

I need to stop wanting more.. 

i will never have a victoria secret models body... thats unrealistic

I love food way to much!! 

So I've decided to not rely on the number the scale tells me, 

 

but they way i feel 

the way my mom tells me i look, because she is always honest 

and the way my boyfriend tells me i look, 

which is "if you get any skinnier i will not talk to you!" 

I love the way he keeps me in check... 

so anyways.. 

Love your body... Be free... Enjoy the person you are

Dont try to be something you arent or cant be

Life is way too short to be starving

My weekend home...

Once again im home for the weekend....

I can't help myself I miss Braedon too much 

But this weekend definitely was filled with interesting events

Braedon Came over, and we got Rio with my family

then laid in my bed and watched all of the All Star events 

That night we went up to Jesse's House and hung out with friends 

Sunday

My Momma's Birthday we went House Hunting

Gahhh it is soo much more stressful then i though it would be

We found one that I loved, but it needed a little bit of work

Like updating the kitchen, and building a bathroom in the basement

But it was a good location right by a park, and the house

had so much charm and personality

As soon as i find a house i will post lots of pictures 

so everyone can see it's transformation.

Sorry to My friends i didnt see, my weekend was hectic 

but i might be back this next weekend so i hope to see

you soon.... or just come to GEORGE
