Time for a Change

When I first started this blog it was simply for updates on my life, more along the lines of a family journal. I still want to keep it that way, but with a little spice and individuality. Being as James isn't a contributor (he didn't even  know I was doing this till about 5 months into it) and doesn't have any real part in it other than being mentioned here and there, I felt it just wasn't fair that he should have rights to the name of it. Selfish old me I guess:) But he is my husband, the love of my life. So I have simply changed the name of the blog to The Life and Creations of Jeannette, a place where I share both life and my creations. I have had so much fun sharing my life on here, and the things I have created. And along the way meeting new people and them enjoying what I do as well, what can be better than that?! So, the time has come for change. I will also be changing the blog address as well, so be aware of that as well. 
Now, for an update:
James is back from Missouri! I spent 2 1/2 weeks separated from him while he traveled back home for his friends wedding. I told him this is the last time he leaves me all by myself for that long! Not gonna have it. He starts school back up in April, so I'm looking forward to that. In the meantime he spends his time snowboarding, working on cars, playing with Doccers, and being lazy. He'll never admit to it but we both know better:)
I started my new job on Feb. 22nd and so far so good. I have some interesting co workers and an awesome trainer. Some awesome perks: free popcorn & hot chocolate! How sweet is that? Benefits kick in on the 23rd, a blessed day. April will be the month of doctor visits, never would have thought I would look forward to them so much! Welcome to adulthood I guess.
We have settled into our new place quite nicely, we have TONS of space and love it. James has his massive garage and I still get to have a spacious closet, even if it still is in the other bedroom. And our bedroom is huge! I can walk around our bed without stubbing my toes or having to suck in my stomach. Theres even enough space on my side for a chair, a rocking chair to be exact. That was even James idea, how cute is that?  The time is getting closer, I had a dream the other we had a baby girl and we named her Alice, and when I asked James if he liked the name he said its okay...ITS OKAY! That's a huge stepping stone for us, usually its, "No way" or gives me a weird face as if to say "Are you crazy?!" So "Its okay" totally works for me.

My next post will be so much fun, Im actually really looking forward to it. It goes along with my Wardrobe Challenge so I can at least say Ive been working on it. Gosh Im such a slacker! And just so you know Ive totally given up on the first week of it. I keep saying I will post about it, but lets just face the facts, it aint never gonna happen. The sweater I ended up not liking is in a garbage back amongst other abandoned articles of clothing awaiting their departure to the DI. Well, either DI or this awesome new store I just heard about in SLC where you can exchange your old clothes for something in the store or for store credit. I thought that was pretty sweet, so we'll see.

I'm off to get ready for the day and looking forward to dinner with a friend and an old missionary who taught me back in the day (Elder Ben Loveland to be exact, anyone remember him? He lives right next to my friend, how cool is that?!!) And yes it is 3:30 in the afternoon...I love lazy Saturday afternoons.

FINALLY!

Thanks to my wonderful friend, Melese, my blog is fixed and back to normal! I was just making things more complicated than they actually were (all I was trying to do was change the font and color of the post title, theres a tutorial here on how to do it). But finally it is done, thank you my dear Melese!!!

P.S. I figured out the signature all on my own! Go me:)
