We've moved! Find me at http://heatherinsocal.wordpress.com

Thanks!

I do officially love my job. It's fun, it's interesting, & my boss is most definitely cool. This company just epitomizes how I feel about weddings: that it should be fun & romantic! I even get to shoot a wedding tonight, which will be VERY exciting for me.

My boss even got me ordained. So sometime in the near future, I can perform weddings!!! Exciting!!!

But in all honesty, I do love my job. And it came at just the right time. I was ready to work at McDonald's! But now I'm doing a job I love, in a field I love, working for a very awesome boss. I'm a lucky gal!

My "Credentials of Ministry":


And my wallet card!


For those interested, here's where I work: http://www.socalofficiant.com

I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting in a very long time today. I weighed in at 202.2, goodness! I didn't realize I was up so high! My goal weight is 140lbs. So *fingers crossed* we'll see what happens.

I've neglected my blog lately :-) Life has been damn good. Ryan moved back in right after Robert was born, & things are better than ever. We talk, we communicate, we listen, we help each other, etc. And I know the kids LOVE having him home.

Robert was born Jan 30, a healthy 7lbs. He's such a handsome guy :-)

I started my new job this past Monday! I'm working as an assistant to a local wedding officiant. I absolutely adoe my job. No doubt about it, it's awesome.

I'll start updating this more frequently :-)

I'm officially signed up for the 2010 Ronald McDonald Walk For Kids! April 11, Universal Studios

Something cute for Michael & me!

I'm a lucky person. There's no denying that. I've gotten many many chances in life. I have 2 healthy and beautiful children, soon 3! Therefore, I've decided to use my craft talents to give back.

#1 Celebrate Recovery @ Etsy
This is my main craft/destash store. I donate 100% of my proceeds to local recovery programs and meetings.

#2 This weekend I'm running a fundraiser, inspired by this story. I have Webkinz that were donated, craft supplies, etc. Please check my etsy store for the items.

Proceeds will benefit the Haitian American Food Bank. In addition, I'll be donating to my church's Broken Loaf Food Pantry, located at Lakewood First United Methodist Church (4300 Bellflower Blvd, Lakewood CA 90713). They're open every Saturday from 9-11am.

#3 Lastly, I'm doing the 2010 CHOC Walk In The Park to benefit the Children's Hospital of Orange County. This, along w/ my recovery program donations, will be ongoing. My goal is to raise $200. Please check my etsy store for the items.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

100% of the profits go to local charities & organizations! All of my items are donated or PIF!

Cameron is a miracle, & an angel. She's the daughter of my mom's coworker. She's also a trisomy baby. When they found out, they told Joanne she'd be a stillborn. But she was born. Then they said she wouldn't survive more than a day or two. Yet she kept thriving. The dr's continued saying that, she wouldn't survive a week, a month, 6 months, & a couple of years later she's a beautiful girl who brings hope & joy to all who see her.

Cameron is back in ICU, due to pneumonia. Her mother is heartbroken. Both of them, & the family, are amazing & strong people. Please keep them in your prayers.

I signed up for a more pressing need, 2 Precious Moments squares. I'm just about done w the first square. Here's the first part:
