What Will They Say?

It has been a really rough week. 2 Funerals and my husband was out of town for the weekend for work. The husband being out of town was not the hardest part, but when you add that to going to a funeral by yourself, its 10 times harder. The first was for a family friend/relative. Technically we are related, but its distant. This is a person, that as a little girl, I spent many summers in their pool and knew well through church. He was the husband to my grandmother's best friend and the father to my mother's best friend. He was the grandfather to one of my longest friends. I am guessing you are seeing the trend here. This was not just a distant relative... we were intertwined.

The second funeral was for a very special woman. This is the woman who was the mother of my mom's absolute dearest friend. This was the most Godly woman I have ever known in my lifetime. She had the best heart and an amazing spirit. I have known her my entire life, I'm sure she is one of those people that held me in the hospital. She lead me through a lot of my relationship with God as well.

Going to these 2 funerals in one week, has made me start thinking. If I were to die today, what would people say about me? This has prompted my "New Years Resolution" for 2012. My resolution is to be a better person. I want to be a better Christian, wife, sister, daughter, aunt and friend. I want to give back more to the community. During college this was one of my greatest joys. WSO showed me I had a love for helping those in need. I may not have all the money to donate to causes, but I can help in other ways such as just donating my time. So, this is my goal for 2012. To just be a better overall person. To love others and to love myself. To not worry so much, take care of myself and my amazing family. Both funerals I went to this weekend were for 2 amazing people that led amazing lives. They both had full lives and were "ready" to go if there is such a thing. Saying that, doesn't make it any easier for those left here to be without them. I will miss seeing them at church or certain functions, but I have amazing memories of them and I will hold them in my heart.

I would like to take this time to brag on my amazing husband. He is a 5th grade teacher and has an amazing ability to reach these children. Not one student in his 4 years of teaching has failed a standardized test. That being said, he was asked by his prinicpal to attend an award convention for something to school won. There are only 2 schools in the state of Texas that won this award and Danny's school was one of them. The principal asked him to attend this convention because "of everything he has done for the school, it only seems right for him to take part." I could not be more proud of my husband. He is an AMAZING teacher and these kids absolutely adore him. They look up to him. He is such a great man for so many different reasons. I'm just so proud.

Last but definitely not least, the above picture is the newest addition to the Hulshult family. Meet Millie! She is a black lab pup that is making her way into our home this upcoming Wednesday. I'm a little nervous about how Mackenzie will handle this since she has been an "only dog" for 8 years, but she has met many new dogs that she now gets along with. I know she will be mad and probably do some things to don't make me happy, but I have faith that eventually...she will learn to love her new sister. I'M SO EXCITED!

Tis the Season!

Welp, Its that time of year again kids. Time for Christmas lights, baking, ornament exchanges and holiday parties. Unfortunately for me and my family, its also a time of rememberance for Bud. I think my last post was actually about him on his birthday, ironic I guess. Bud passed away on December 27th when I was 21 years old. Right in front of me. In previous years this hasn't been as difficult, but given some extenuating circumstances, I'm feeling it a little bit more this year. I have been married for over a year now, I have this amazing man that I love more every single day and it still breaks my heart that they never met. I still sometimes think that Bud had something huge to do with the timing and me meeting Danny. I can't help but think it. Whenever I envisioned who I would end up in this life, it was always someone a lot like Mr. Smith. Danny proves to me daily that he is so much like him. I dont want this post to be so sad and dreary, but I did need to let a little of this saddness out. I miss him everyday.

On a second note: I dont think I've done an update since reaching my "goal weight". With that being said, holidays are impossible! With as much as I love to cook and bake, Im making it more difficult on myself. Lets see, what else has happened since my last post.

Miss Alicia got married. Its still weird for me to say her "husband" at times. I could not be happier for them and more relieved that my toast at the reception is over with. I was shaking like a leaf.

I went to visit a friend in Austin. That was a great time and all we did was shop and hang out. Didn't go out at all...which is surprising for Austin, TX.

I hosted my very first thanksgiving dinner at my home. I managed to make a beautiful turkey and some of the trimmings. I was SO stressed about that, I can't even explain it to you. Not to mention that my entire family was coming. Both sets of parents including my dad. I was so happy he came!

I have hosted my 5th annual ladies xmas brunch with my mom. I can't believe we have done this 5 times now. It was a pretty good turn out. I hope all the ladies had as much fun as I did.

I guess thats all I have for now. I'm doing my best to keep my emotions at bay and not let them get the best of me. I have to remember that he is always with me, even if I can't see him.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very Blessed 2012!

Love you!

August 15, 1946

Ok this date, Harbert Smith Jr. was welcomed into this world. What an amazing man he proved to be. A man with so much love in his heart for others that is still astonishes me today. I was so very blessed to have had him as my stepfather for almost 9 years before he passed away. How truly lucky am I to have known him. There are many times when I miss him and wish he was here to see what my life has become, or how I wish that he would be here for my future children, because I know there is nothing that would have made him happier. I love him and miss him still and seeing as yesterday was his birthday, it only seems right to think of him a little more and share a little with you, whoever you are that reads this. With always the best stories and a way of talking to me like no one else could at the time, he was a best friend, an AMAZING parent and someone that I will always hold very closely in my heart.

To "My Bud", as I used to call him,....I love you always and you are always with me.

I am seriously missing someone today....

So...its been a while!

Hey there folks! I haven't posted on here in quite some time as you can tell. Lets see, what has changed.

1. Left QVL. - It was a beautiful romantic story but when it came right down to it...horrible fit for me

2. Started at MGM - Love it..couldn't be happier..and i have a 15 minute commute. Not too shabby.

3. I am now 6 lbs away from my original goal weight. This is very exciting for me. I'm wearing items I haven't been able to even think about wearing since college.

4. The hubs and I have almost been married for 1 year. It is insane to me how quickly time has flown by. We are planning a trip for our anny and its going to be absolutely amazing! I can't wait!

As it is coming up on June and half way through the year, lets look back at the new years resolutions.

#1: to lose weight...so far so good on this one. Weight Watchers is an amazing tool and I have definitely revamped my entire lifestyle.

#2: Worry less: I think I'm doing pretty well on this one.

#3: This is the last one: to find a church and actually start going. The first move has happened though. The boy has mentioned that he's started to get ready to start looking for our church home. This made me SO happy! So...I feel like we are in a good place on this one.

11 Pounds to Goal!

Good Morning! Can I just say that I am super excited after yesterday's weigh in. I definitely thought I was about to hit a plateau but I lost 3 more pounds. I am only 11 pounds away from my goal weight! I couldn't be more excited. I can definitely tell a difference in my body all over now. I'm hoping the pounds keep coming off at this rate!

On a different note: I'm assuming the drama at my mom's house has calmed down a little bit. I haven't seen my stepdad since everything happened and I'm pretty much ok with it. My brother seems to be afraid of him and I think that is a healthy fear. I would be too. He is not a small man. Mom says that at dinner this past week there was a little tension but nothing crazy happened which is good.

Kyle, Stephanie and Izzy came over on Saturday night. That might have been the 2nd highlight of my weekend. Isabelle has gotten so big and she is just so adorable. She is a little ball of personality when she is around people she feels comfortable with. Not to mention she is a gorgeous little girl. It was great to spend some time with my brother and Steph also. I feel like the only time we see them is holidays and birthdays and I really want to make a better effort at seeing them. Even if that means I have to drive to Roanoke more often. They are family. Thats all I have as of right now.

Oh...I could show you a face "before" and "where I am now" picture.

Before:



Where I am now:

Random Monday-ness

Welp, I haven't updated on here in a while so I figured it was time.

I have reached the 10 lbs lost mark which was really exciting and I got another manicure as a reward! I'm going to have to come up with something else for 15 lbs to make it a little more exciting. I didn't lose very much this week so that was a little discouraging and we are going camping this weekend which makes me a little nervous. (all the eating drinking and nothing else really). I do have a plan though. I've already purchased some plan friendly food items that will help me stick to it and I'm hoping I can make myself get up and run in the mornings. I'll definitely let you know if that happens.

Camping is definitely one of my all time favorite things that Danny and I do. It really is an amazing opportunity for us to get away from everything and just enjoy each others company and the company of the friends that go with us. We always come home so much more connected and refreshed. It really is GREAT! I wanna go right now! HAHA!

Speaking of getting away from it all....my family has to be one of the more dramatic families I know, but I think everyone feels this way about their families! haha! I think mine is exceptionally crazy because of one individual. Drama seems to follow him. Last night was probably the craziest I have seen things ever get and it truly scared me. I was afraid for peoples safety which is not really a feeling you want when you are with family. Peoples tempers went completely off the reservation and other people who I thought should have stepped up and said something at that moment, just sat there. It was surprising to me honestly and I couldn't stay in that situation. I had to leave. Needless to say, dinner at mom's house was not the same after everything went down. I dont want to go into too much detail because I dont know who reads this at all times, but it was just craziness. I'm going to look a few family members in a completely different light after all of that.

On another note: My bestest just had some surgery. She and I had a bit of a falling out just before it. I dont feel like its been completely resolved which is difficult for me, but I can't be selfish because right now I know she is struggling with the recovery process. I failed as a friend. That is all that can really be said about it. I feel awful about it and I hope she and I can mend that when she gets to feeling better. Please keep her in your prayers or positive thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Another thing I'm bummed about that isn't serious at all...Opening Day. I have gone to opening day at the ballpark every year since I graduated college. This has become somewhat of a tradition for me. I asked dad about it this year (I purchase my tickets so I'm not free-loading) and he basically said he could get a "limited amount of tickets". So does that mean I jsut dont get to purchase one? I LOVE opening day. Really kinda hacks me off that he is being like that. he's an employee, I know he'll get tickets because he does every year and every year I purchase from my dad. GRR! Is this spoiled of me?

zumba and Piyo are tongiht. Lets hope burning some calories can get my mind off the things I can't shut off in my head.

Cardio Kick Boxing

Ok. There are a few things to mention in this week's blog. 1st of all...I skipped my meeting on Sunday. I had a horrible week last week I felt like. The gym was closed due to the ridiculous weather. I tried to work out at home and did on 2 days but it just wasn't the same. I didn't feel like I did my best not to mention that I pretty much ate what I wanted on Friday and Saturday. So, I skipped it due to my swollen eye and bad self esteem.

Now we are back on track. I have worked out the past two days and I'm officially loving it. I'm so glad that I have gotten past the "this sucks" phase of working out. I think they say it takes a month to create a habit. I'm wondering if this is why I felt so crummy last week....because I couldn't work out. Weird!

Last night I tried "Turbo Kick Boxing". Not only does this sound incredibly intimidating to me. I knew I was going to feel like a complete idiot because lets face it, I'm a girl and I most likely punch like one. But, once the music started going...I no longer cared. And everyone else looks stupid too. haha! This has been by far my absolute FAVORITE class. I never thought it would be, but its amazing cardio and you are using every muscle in your body.

I also did Pi-Yo on Monday which was a new experience. Its a combination of Pilates and Yoga. It moves a little faster than yoga but its still very soothing and relaxing to do. Very "Zen" if you will. It was definitely what I needed on Monday after the week I have been having. That is sad to say because it is only Wednesday.

Working out has definitely become my release. I remember a time when I used to run 2x a day and I absolutely loved it. These classes are doing that for me. It gets me off my rear end, out of the house, and I'm doing something good for myself. Its about time! I have been lazy for too long!

Tonight is the Bootcamp Conditioning class which I'm hoping doesn't get cancelled because we just got MORE SNOW. What is up with that? I live in Texas people....we dont get this much snow. Anyway...if the gym is closed then I'll be forced to do my old school Power 90 "Beach Body" video in hopes that I burn some calories.

Just for those that are interested...I dont even know if people read this but the "gym" I go to is really a dance studio with adult fitness classes.

Shocking News and a 5 Lb Sticker

Ok....This past weekend I had a conversation with one of my nearest and dearest friends. We have definitely grown apart in the past few years but I assume that happens with people who dont live anywhere close to one another. I have learned something about this person that makes me think completely different of them. Something that I dont know how to handle or process. I dont really want to go into a lot of detail but the fact of the matter is that someone I thought I knew so well, handed me probably the most troubling, disturbing news without even a flinch. As if what she was telling me was 100% normal and everyone does this. I couldnt disagree more with her and it absolutely shocked me. That she was so nonchalant. This news has since put me in a very strange mood and has me questioning how I could even be friends with someone like this. This thought makes me very sad, but the fact of the matter is that our lives are so completely different that we rarely find anything in common anymore. She lives in a very small town and all things are done different. Do not misunderstand, I am not making excuses or saying what has been done is by any means ok, but that is simply the fact. Their life will always be significantly different than mine. Its just sad to find things out like this about people. Truly broke my heart.

On a much lighter note.... I got my 5 lb sticker this week in WW. Things are actually working which makes me feel good. I can see my body changing and thats a good feeling. I've been working out so I'm hoping that helps in that process as well. I still have 19 pounds left to go, but I'm feeling really good about it. My "goal jeans" are still in my closet and aren't lose yet, but I know they are on their way.

What to say...

I have a feeling this post is going to mainly be a brain dump. I dont have any real exciting news but I want to try and keep this thing up as much as I can so here we are.

Went to my 3rd WW meeting yesterday and was really excited that I lost 3 pounds. I know that some people may think this is water weight or just a swing of natural happenings...but I'm taking it as a good sign that I'm moving in the right direction. My first goal is to lose 7 lbs and I've already lost 4.2 total. So yay! I'm excited and it is so good to see the numbers going down when I'm really trying to work so hard. I kind of wish I would have taken a before picture so that at the end when I reach my goal I can take an after...not that I would really share that with any of you because YUCK!

Work is good....still trying to figure out what is it exactly that they want me to do.

I must say that I am going to be VERY happy when football season is over. I dont have a love for professional football. I really used to like college football but that was when I was in college. Since then I dont really have an interest. I will always support tech but thats about it. haha!

What else is there.....I got nothing.

Thats enough for now I suppose...until next time! :)

Week One Complete

Ok...do week one of WW is complete and I must say I'm not hating it near as much as I was the first few days. The crazy hunger has subsided a little bit and now I think I'm finally getting used to just eating less. Danny has been amazing as usual and is really doing this with me which is a great help! It would be so hard if I came home to him eating junk and I had to gnaw on some lettuce. haha! Tiff and I went to the grocery store last night and I got plenty of food for the meals I have planned for the week. She's been doing so great too and I'm so proud of her. Sooooooo glad we are doing this together. Its important to have that accountability. I lost 1 pound 2 oz. this week. Thats not a lot but its better than nothing. I have a horrible habit of just maintaining. I can't seem to lose. The hubs and I are going to start working out this week so that will help too I think. Only have one meal out planned for the week so that will help too. Its so hard to eat out and eat healthy. I had lettuce with some cheese on it the other day and that was 10 points. I didn't feel like it was worth it. Id rather cook something at home that will leave me feeling like I actually ate something other than air. My goal is to look like this girl again.

Not that much thinner, but you'll notice the face is a little thinner and the rest of the body is definitely thinner I promise! I dont want to get scary skinny like I did in high school. I just want to get to where I was before I started drinking basically! haha! I want to feel pretty again! Feel good in my skin again. Its a work in progress. Lets see what happens!

STARVING!

You know those commercials where they have "hunger" following you throughout the day. That is what I have felt like for the past week. Hungry! Around breakfast I'm usually pretty good, but after lunch and starting around 3 PM I'm absolutely starving. I have yet to really figure out how to maximize my points so I'm just hungry. Tiffany and Danny have been great about keeping me motivated and not letting me get discouraged by the hunger pains! Danny even ate soup and salad for his bday dinner just so I wouldn't be miserable sitting next to him. Love him.

Farewell 2010...Hello 2011

Ok not only does it feel really weird to type 2011 but it sounds weird too. As I have said in previous posts I was positive by this time in our lives we would be flying to work...kinda wish that one came true because I am seriously not a fan of traffic. ANYWAY....

As a recap of the holidays, they were absolutely amazing! We got to see dad, kyle, stephanie and of course little Izzy on Christmas eve and then spend Christmas day morning with my mom and the afternoon with his parents. We got some great gifts but of course it is more about spending time with the family rather than getting the presents. I enjoyed some much needed days off work during the holidays which was very nice to get to spend some quality time with the hubs and really unwind. New Years was a little uneventful this year unless you count the two giant dogs that stayed the night with us. Brew and Shiner made our home theirs on NYE and Kenzie was mortified. I'm sure she is still mad as us. Danny and I stayed awake till midnight and then I quickly began to fade. This is not abnormal. This leads me to my new years resolutions. I know that you should aim to be a good person all the time and aim to be healthy all the time, but there is something about the beginning of the new year that really just puts a new perspective on things. So here ya go:

1. Worry less....I am a worry wart. Ask any of my friends. I call them sometimes to tell me I'm crazy just to make myself stop worrying. This doesn't always work but I try sometimes. I think this will be beneficial to both myself and my husband. The poor guy has to deal with my ever changing worries and stresses too much and I owe it to him to be happy and a little more carefree!




2. Lose weight: I know it is cliche and everyone says they are going to lose weight or go on a diet for the new year, but this time I am determined. I joined weightwatchers and so far this whole points thing is going well. BUT...we are going out for Danny's bday tonight so this might be the first test. What to eat at a restaurant when all I want are chicken tenders. I'm gonna have to learn to really love salad! haha! I blame the weight gain on numerous things but ultimately it is my own fault. I have started just eating junk. lots of wendy's and pizzas and not working out AT ALL! So, my first step is to get the food under control and then I'll start working out. I'm interested to see what changes that has on me first. 2nd weigh in is on Sunday so I'll let you know.




3: Find a church and actually start attending. Now this one will be slightly difficult because it involves another person. I truly want Danny and I to find a church home and start attending. We both agree that we dont want it to be something we feel like we "Have" to do but something we "want" to do. This is a big difference here. Danny grew up catholic and was forced to go to mass and catholic school and there are a lot of traditions and expectations with that. I grew up baptist with a super baptist mom and dad and we weren't given the option. I do want us to find somewhere we can both agree on, feel happy in, and go on a semi-regular basis. This will become even more important when we start talking about children.

Holidays here we come!!!

Welp, it is officially my favorite time of the year. Its time to start decorating for Christmas and Holiday parties and shopping and friends and family! Its a wonderful season and I'm so excited to spend this first Christmas Season with my HUSBAND! Last weekend we put up our Christmas tree. I think this definitely deserves a before and after picture.

So before:





And after:

Then we discovered that our mantel was literally falling off the wall. Turns out it wasn't really a mantel but actually a really large shelf that the previous owner thought looked like a mantle. So looks like we are getting a new mantel for Christmas...not exactly what we had planned.

In a couple of weeks my mom and I will be hosting our annual Ladies Holiday Brunch. I'm so excited about it. It is just so much fun to have all the girls together and eat yummy food and do our little ornament exchange. It just makes my heart happy.

More on the holidays later I'm sure!

Time for Hil

Ok friends, I've decided that its time for me to do some things for me. Not only working out and cooking which I absolutely love, but I do very little to decompress and focus on me. So today was my first endeavor. I got a manicure:

No, these are not my nails and no I didn't get acrylics put on, but I did get them taken care of today. I think the all time best part of a manicure is the massage on your hands. There isn't much that beats it. AND the place I went to today, the guy rubbed my shoulders. This was the ultimate! I have had so much tension in my shoulders the past few weeks....it almost hurt but it was the good hurt.

anyway....I'm trying to think of other not to expensive ideas to focus on myself. I think my next thing will be to do some good quality girl time. Haven't had much of that lately. Everyones lives are just so crazy busy including my own and I'm missing my lovely ladies! Not to mention, one of the best girls I know just recently got engaged and I couldn't be happier for her and Chris...

Please dont mind my double chin in that picture. haha!

I'm having my annual ladies holiday brunch in a couple of weeks and I think that will be a great excuse to not only cook but also spend time good time with my best girls and my mom. This is definitely one of my favorite times of year. I cannot wait to decorate our HOUSE for the first time for the holidays. I have already gotten some great stuff and the ideas just keep coming to me. I'll post some pictures of the finished product when I get it all the way done!

Until next time my loves!

Let the diet begin!

Ok friends, which I think I have a whopping two on here....the diet starts today. Hopefully this little blog will help me stay accountable. I'm blaming unemployment and new job on the weight gain but now I'm taking control.

My goal is to lose 20 lbs. I'm ready... I've restarted my lose it app on my phone and will be diligent about keeping it updated. I'm going to aim at working out 3 times a week at first. So, MWF are the days. Not sure what time of exercise I'm going to do but it will be something only if it's walking around the pond by my office on my lunch break. No excuses.

On a much lighter note: here are the pictures I promised I'd post from the wedding.

PS...not sure why the top line is underlined but I can't get it to go away.

I'm a MARRIED WOMAN

Well..... I knew this would happen. I had all intentions of posting the day before the wedding and I completely forgot. Hopefully I can be forgiven. Needless to say the wedding came and went and it was beautiful. My bridesmaids were perfection and absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I'm going to hold off on posting pictures from the wedding until I get the professional ones. With that being said, here are some pictures from the bachelorette party. My lovely ladies hosted a lingerie shower also and I am going to spare you the pictures from that. I assume no one else wants to see my "underthings". Here are some of my favorite pictures from the bach party....I absolutely love those girls....I can't thank them enough.

Just for the record these posted in reverse order somehow. The picture at the very bottom is from the beginning on the night and the picture at the top I dont even remember taking.

haha! Married like is absolutely wonderful. I can't believe that I am such a lucky woman to have married this amazing man. Danny is the man I always dreamed of when I was a little girl. He loves me so much and knowing that is the best feeling in the world. I couldn't be more blessed. When I get the wedding pictures I'll post again more about the actual day. From this point on this blog will be about life and my wonderful life with my amazing friends and family and HUSBAND!

25 Days

Today I find myself really missing Bud and wishing he was here to witness of this excitement that is going on. He would have truly loved to have been a part of my wedding and I know he would have adored Danny. If for no other reason than Danny loves me. It is really hard to think about him not being there on that day. I have a great step-dad and dad that will be there, but I just feel like Bud should have been there. There will be a special section of our program for those that can't be with us on the day, but I wish there was something else different I could do for him.

suggestions are welcome!

Other than that....life is good. Unemployment is definitely helping with the wedding stress. I have plenty of time to talk to all the vendors and get all the details finalized. Its also really nice to spend some quality time with the fiance. We are making a day trip to San Marcus tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about it. We are going to buy some things for the house and hopefully a few things just for us also! :)

Thats all I have for now.

33 Days

So I am no good at updating this thing! So much has happened since the last post and I dont even feel like it was that long ago.

welp, to sum it up, I'm no longer employed and currently looking for a job. I was laid off about a week and a half ago. It is a blessing and a curse. I miss all of my friends at the office, but this is also allowing for plenty of time to get some other things done for the wedding.

For example, today Danny and I did wedding bands. I got all kinds of giddy when I saw that ring on his finger. It made me so happy. What else is left. I have emailed our lady for the programs and I'm still working on the "To our friends and family" section. I'm open to suggestions if you have any.

All the girls have their dresses and the parties have now started. 2 showers down! These things are so much fun. It is so exciting to be able to spend this absolutely amazing time in my life with so many people I love and care about. I've also had my best girls with me along the way. These girls are absolutely perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better group and they continue to make my life better and easier on a regular basis. This weekend is the bridesmaids luncheon. I get to give the ladies their gifts and just spend some quality time together. We are going to Rise in Dallas which is an absolutely AMAZING restaurant. the dessert was like strawberry air! heaven right here on earth.

I am doing my very best to take all of these moments in and enjoy every last bit of it. I'm enjoying everything that is happening but I want to make sure that I remember all that I can. I know that the wedding day will be a blur but I'm hoping if I make an effort to soak it up that I'll remember it. I'm most excited about our final dance of the evening. I think it is going to be absolutely romantic. Everyone will be out there waiting for us to make our exit and we will have a last dance in the empty room. Doesn't that just sound amazing? I love the idea.

Ok....until next time and hopefully it is before the wedding. haha!
