Wordless Wednesday

Since I took a bit of a break from blogging, 
here is a little bit of what I've been up to. :)
(Warning: This post is picture heavy!)

 March started with some time spent with my Mother-in-Law. 
Here we are at a neighbors baby shower. Being there definitely gave both of us baby fever. She began planning my "future" baby shower right there! Ha ha!

My husband and my Mother-in-Law started walking together around the neighborhood. I've been getting a bit of cabin fever from staying in so much, so they took me along with them! 
Here is my husband pushing me in a wheel chair. :)

I found this wonderful flower maker on Facebook 
and purchased some of her flowers. 
The top one was one I found in her shop that I love! 
My husband likes it too ;).
The bottom one I had her custom make for me. 
I love that I can represent the best hockey team in the NHL on a flower! ;)

Speaking of hockey! Here's an OOTD on game day! 
I'm wearing my Kings flower with one of my favorite Kings shirts.
{My mirror is lined with all of my flowers. I'm a collector. :)}

On Easter Sunday, we had some beautiful weather here in So Cal.
This is the view from our balcony at sunset after a brief rain shower.

My husband's best friend just had a birthday,
so we all went out to our favorite local deli for lunch.
No one wanted their picture taken but my husband. He's such a good sport! Ha ha!

On Sunday, Wan and I got ready and headed over to my Dad's for lunch. 
I got some new make-up I've been playing around with 
and got all dolled up just because.
I'm a lucky lady to have such a sweet man in my life. :)

That is all I've been up to! 
I hope you enjoyed catching up with me 
and can't wait to get back to blogging more. 
I know I don't have many readers, but if you have any questions you'd like to ask me I'd love to answer them!

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Sunday!

I'm finally back from a brief blogging hiatus. Honestly, I didn't have much to share and thought it was best to lay low until I did. :)

Lately I've been going through a bit of a transformation. For the past year and a half I've been injured and have had a very poor quality of life. I've suffered from depression, gained about 30lbs and bound myself to my house to keep my pain levels under control.

The last few months I've been seeing a therapist to help with my depression and she has been helping me so much. I've been advised by my doctor to start Jenny Craig and after having a consultation, I'm really looking forward to getting started. I've also been trying to get outside more and try not to feel bad when my family and friends are out and about living life. I'm really working towards being at peace with where I am in my life right now. Instead of feeling like the world is passing me by, I'm no longer going to let this injury define me. I deserve more then that.

Because of my weight gain, many of my clothes no longer fit me. For a while I resorted to yoga pants and t-shirts as my daily wardrobe. I didn't recognize the person in the mirror anymore. I was disgusted at what I had turned into. Recently, I've begun to accept more of where I'm at in my life and use make-up and my collection of hair flowers to liven up my days. My wardrobe is still lacking but with time I know I'll be able to build it up a little more and feel better about how I look. Until then, I'm having so much fun trying new make-up products and adding more flowers to my collection. :)

As you can tell, I'm a huge work in progress and I'm okay with that. I'm feeling better about my outlook on life and know this pain won't be here forever. The possibilities are limitless when it comes to what I can do once I'm feeling better. I'm excited for the future but definitely going to live each day as it comes and not let myself feel burdened by all the "what if's" life may throw my way. Today is a new day and I'm going to enjoy all it has to offer.

Happy Sunday!
