Diaries of Me

Dream day.. Aka Wedding day!

2012-02-02T13:47:00.000-08:00

I cannot express how lovely and wonderful my wedding day was. November 5th 2011 goes down as one of the best days of my life in my history books. I had so many family and friends helping to make my special day amazing and I can't thank you all enough! Ryan and I are so grateful for you all and appreciate it so much!! We had such an amazing, fun, FUN day and I can't help but think about it all the time! I still look at my pictures all the time :) We are so in love and are having the best time being a newly married couple! It's so interesting thinking back and reflecting on life and realizing how much our Heavenly Father knows each and every one of us and how he places people in our lives specifically for us. I hate to get all gushy on everyone but Ryan and I are definitely made for one another. Could I have made it work with someone else? Maybe, but I wouldn't have been as happy with anyone else. Ryan is the man for me and I have never been happier than I am now!! He is such a blessing to me and I am thankful for him each and every day!! He's my best friend and my husband. How did I get so lucky?! Here are some pictures from our wedding and from the last few months we've been married!
Ok, so I have a bunch more but this is all it'll let me upload for now. I'm really bad a blogging.... check back for more pics!!

changes

2011-10-14T07:19:00.000-07:00

I've never been so excited for the changes that will soon take place in my life. This women is getting married. It's been a long time coming but can I just tell you, it was worth the wait. I know I bragged about Ryan in previous post's but he's just that good that I'm sure several more posts will be about him and me bragging on his behalf. I can't wait to start my life with him! I can't wait to face all life has to offer with the man of my dreams. I never knew that it could be this good. So all you out there who are patiently waiting to be swept off your feet, don't settle. You'll know when it's right! It's like nothing else... 22 more days and I am Mrs Jessica Darling Fair. My life will never be the same and I cannot wait! This is what true love feels like...

So grateful

2011-07-04T12:15:00.000-07:00

With today being the 4th of July, which happens to be my favorite holiday, I am feeling extremely grateful and proud to be an American. I was raised to be patriotic and proud. How did I get to be blessed to live in such a beautiful and free nation? Our forefathers were inspired men of God. Men who fought for what they believed in and won because if was what was suppose to happen. I am so incredible grateful to live in a country that I can live and practice freedom of religion. A religion that makes me who I am. I'm grateful for the men and women who have served this country and will serve this country, my brother is one of those men and I couldn't be more proud of him. I hope we can all remember what took place in the creation of this country. I am truly grateful for my freedoms and all that I have! Happy 4th of July and God bless America!!

Finally

2011-06-12T05:50:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted something so bad and once you got it, it was better than you ever imagined it to be? I have. Meet Ryan.

This guy has always and forever officially changed my life. For the past, oh I don't know, 20+ years I have wondered who I'd end up with, I pondered many things I'd want in a eternal companion. To look a certain way, smell a certain way, act a certain way, talk a certain way, be a certain way and so on an so on. Ryan has accomplished all that and more in the short time we have been dating. He has surpast all my expectations and made me realize that there was even more that I wanted in a eternal companion that I didn't even realize. He's incredible. Let's face it. How did I get so lucky? I have no idea. I do know one thing though. I'd wait another almost 26 years, if I knew I got to be with him in the end. He was absolutely worth the wait. Ask anyone... I didn't always have the best luck in dating but I'll tell you one thing. I feel like I've won the lotto. Ok so you're probably wondering where the rock is that's suppose to be on my left hand?! Answer is.. I don't have one... yet! Now you're probably thinking I've jumped the gun. Maybe so. But most likely not. :) I love this man and I will be with him for, well, forever. Can forever start already?? :) While we wait for forever to start, lets enjoy some pictures!

These are a few of my favorite things....

2010-12-15T21:37:00.001-08:00

With it being the Christmas season and all, I thought I'd do a small (as of right now, it's small) post of just a few of my favorite things that I am currently loving. Every year around this time I always seem to have new obsessions. Sometimes they carry over to the next year and sometimes they don't. It just depends I guess but I will say, this year I am really REALLY loving my list of "favorite things"! Do to recent events, I've been trying to focus on these few things to keep my spirits up, and I must say, it seems to be working! So here it goes. Enjoy!

First and foremost my favorite Band right now is:
Paper TonguesNow, let me just say... this band is absolutely AMAZING! I discovered them on Itunes one night and have been lucky enough to see them live TWICE now!!! They are different from what's currently out there and that's why I'm so obsessed with them. They have mastered the art of fusing rock, funk, rap and soul all into one and it's incredible! If you like hearing something fresh and new, something different and fun, I HIGHLY recommend this band. "Higher", "Ride to California", "Love like you", "Soul" and "For the people" are just a few of my favorites. All these songs show how versatile they are. All their songs are excellent though. I could really go on and on and on about them but I'll stop while I'm ahead.

Next obsession:
Short hair
Now, for those of you who don't know, I have pretty long hair right now, so this is very extreme. I just have this urge to cut it all off! I LOVE these short Do's and I wish I could pull something like this off. Sadly know it's a huge shot in the dark. One I'm not sure if I'm ready for but none the less... super super cute cuts. Maybe one day?

Sweet sugarless candy:
Russel Stover Pecan Delight
These sweet sugar free candies are delicious! There are several different flavors but this one is particularly good. Being on a sugar free diet can make you crazy but these sweet snacks are just the thing to kick your craving! They can be found in any grocery store.

NEXT:
GAP Jeggings

I just got myself a pair of these SUPER fun SUPER comfy jeggings from the GAP. I am IN LOOOOVE with these pants and I plan on getting myself another pair. You have got to at least go try them on so you can know what I'm talking about! I promise you won't regret it!

Now onto Hair:
Goody's Spin Pin

These little pins are UNBELIEVABLE! I'm tell you... who ever thought of these is a complete genius! They work like a charm and they do exactly what they advertise which is so wonderful. I hate when you are disappointed by something you expect to work and it doesn't. Nothing makes me more mad. I use these just about everyday! They are way to much fun.

Favorite Flavors:

First, Lemon
So pretty much anything lemon I am obsessed with right now. The sent and flavor! Of course my obsession would come when lemon is not really in season. Just try and find a lemon cookie/bar right now. I dear you! I guess I'll just have to make my own then.

Cinnamon
These days I seem to be putting Cinnamon on just about everything. My cereal, ice cream, fruit, you name it, I probably sprinkled some cinnamon on it. I was even tempted to put it on my meat that I was seasoning the other day! I know, I'm crazy but that just shows you how much I love this delicious spice! And it's good for you which makes it even better!

HoneyVery similar to Cinnamon, I seem to want to put honey on just about anything and everything. With the exception of meat. That may be crossing the line on this one. Sadly, since I'm on my "sugar free" diet, I haven't been able to use honey as much but it's still an obsession and I think this one will be one for a very long time given the fact it's been one for a very long time already.

From flavors to Food:

Hummus

Hummus is probably at the top of this "favorite things" list. I mean I really can't get enough. I CRAVE this stuff!! Not only can you buy great flavors at any grocery store you can make this at home and it's super simple! If you'd like a recipe just let me know. It's such a great, healthy snack!

Next Obsession:
Gold eye shadow and berry lip shades
I absolutely love BOTH of these colors right now. Not only do they look great separately but together is even better! They compliment each other so well. I've had lots of fun pairing them this season. They both work with any skin tone (in my opinion) so have fun and play it up!

OPI Lotion
Not only do I love this lotion in general but it's this particular scent that is my favorite. Jasmine Juicie. It is to die for!!! Such a delicious scent. It smells so good and I can smell it all day which I love! I hate when scents fade so quickly. I get this lovely lotion at ULTA.

Last but not least:
Ice breakers mintsFor someone who can't chew gum this is a great alternative. I ALWAYS have a thing of Ice Breakers in my purse. Always. Oh, and I hear they freshen your breath even more than gum and that works for me!

Well, I hope you have enjoyed a few of my "favorite things". I have a million more but this seems like a pretty good list for now. I may update here and there when more great things come to mind. If nothing else maybe you've found a few things you'd like to add to your Christmas wish list this year! I sure hope so cause all these things have brought something good into my life. It's the little things, right?! I hope you all have a wonderful and joyful Christmas this year!

The Itch I wish I could scratch....

2010-07-26T15:09:00.000-07:00

Why is it that I always want to move from where I'm currently living? Is it that I'm never satisfied, or that I like the change of scenery, or maybe it's cause my siblings live in different states and I miss them and their babies, or maybe it's the fact that I met a handsome young southern gentlemen who is so different from anyone I've met in a long time and it was very refreshing (just so everyone knows - I had this itch to move even before I met him. I just want to clarify that. But it does help... haha) Or possibly my parents adopted me from gypsies back in the 80's? That would make a lot of sense on several levels but we won't get into that now.... I'm sure all of these reasons play some part in my unstable-ness. I just want to try something new! What's so wrong with that? I'm young - I'm single, it's the perfect time, right?! Something new and exciting is really what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll move to a state that I've never lived in before. So Washington, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico are out. Been there, done that. Maybe Texas? Or somewhere in the deep south like North or South Carolina? (I blame you, Nicholas Sparks for my desire to live in the south). So you're probably asking yourself "well don't you stop talking about doing it and just do it!" Easier said that done, my friends. I wish it were that easy. Maybe one day? Or maybe I can take a sabbatical? For now I just need some advice for fighting this craving... help!

For your viewing pleasure, here are a few pictures from my recent trip to the beautiful Alabama Coast! (thanks Jen for planning the best trip ever!)

I'm sure being in Alabama on the coast didn't help my itch.. in fact, it's probably safe to say that it spread the itch.

Update...it's been far to long

2010-06-01T11:35:00.000-07:00

Welp, lets be honest here. I haven't bogged in quite a long time BUT something that I am also honest about it how not exciting my life is.. which has been known to make blogging difficult. However - a few exciting things have happened over the course of my absence of blogging. I got this...

(thanks lacey)

Yep! That's right people. I am rollin' duuurty. Ok not really but I am LOVIN' my new Mini. It's been so SO fun. And I got an amazing deal and I'm very grateful for that. Thanks Steve Francom! He's the good man behind this great deal. I couldn't be happier!

Ok, so the next exciting thing in my life right now is HCG. Have you heard of it?? I don't think it really should be in the category of "exciting" but for now I'm putting it there. If you haven't heard of it.. I'm shocked! It's a diet that's pretty well known and I'm on it. It's pretty hard. I can only have 500 calories a day. INSANE, right?! I know, I know - but to me it's worth it. I've only been on it for three days and it's a three week diet so I have a way to go BUT I've already lost three pounds in three days. That is my motivation. I will keep you updated on how things are going. If things are not going good, like I'm not loosing weight then I most likely will not keep you updated. Just fyi. ;)

Next exciting thing on my list of exciting things... is... I'm going to ALABAMA! My sweet niece Taylor is getting baptised July 17th which is her 8th birthday and my whole family will be going to celebrate this very exciting time in her life. It happens to be the day before my 25th birthday as well. I can't think of a better way to celebrate this BIG birthday than being with my whole family! I can't wait. Maybe I'll find me a good southern man while I'm there. Then I could add that to my "exciting" list. That wouldn't be a bad birthday present either. I wouldn't be mad at that.

All I want is...

2010-03-31T10:14:00.000-07:00

A Mini Cooper.
(White or a color?)

I'm working real hard and saving my penny's so that maybe one day I can get one. Now my only delema is what color? I LOVE the white. It's classy and lovely but at the same time I'm like do I need a color?!
(a color or white?)

I mean it's a Mini! Maybe I need a red one? What do you think? I could use the help. All color idea's are welcome!

String of Bad Luck

2010-03-31T09:49:00.000-07:00

Would you say that someone who gets two flat tires with in 10 days of each other is bad luck? I would.. And I will! Ha! So I guess I have bad luck then cause this happened to me. First in my car on a day that I REALLY needed my car(Thank goodness for family around to help you when you're in need. Thanks Steph!) and the second time was in my moms car on the freeway! You think that's bad?? Well it gets worse. I was on the freeway OVER PASS!!!!!!!! I don't know if any of you realise how high you are on an over pass.. or how afraid of heights I am! I took some pictures of this worthless experience so that maybe you'd be able to get some idea of how high up you are but after looking at the pictures it doesn't do justice at all to actually being there.

This was my experience and can I say - I'm glad it is over. It was very scary. All I know is I'm grateful for AAA. It is so worth spending the money.

I Just Haven't Met YOU Yet...

2010-03-12T10:15:00.000-08:00

Story of my life right now.

I just love this song. It's my theme song. And I'm hoping one day it won't be - but for now it's ok. Kinda.

My Happy Place

2010-03-07T15:28:00.000-08:00

Well I must say... this is certainly my favorite time of year. Spring! It has everything to offer. Especially here in Sunny Az. The weather is perfect - that's a given- with that, even so much more. For Arizona natives this is something their use to but for someone who grew up in Seattle Washington (which i do love for many other reason - weather not being it's strong point) it's like everyday waking up to Christmas morning! Except for me Christmas is the Sun. I never knew that the sun would affect me in such a way ... but it has... mind,body and soul. I love the sun. My skin on the other hand doesn't enjoy it as much as I do but thank goodness for SPF. March is my favorite month here in Az for a few reasons. Weather, which I've already mentioned and this particular smell that exudes from the orange trees when the orange blossoms are blooming. I have never smelt anything more delicious in my whole life. I will drive an extra 15 minutes out of my way to work everyday just to smell the orange blossoms. I wish everyone could smell this smell. It would make the world a better place. I'm sure of it. I know it makes my world a better place. Ha! Last but certainly not least of my favorite thing about spring and March is Baseball. In fact this is my number ONE favorite thing amongst all that I have previously mentioned. A brand new season of America's pastime starts and will last a glorious 7 months. Being in Az I am lucky enough to have a professional team here. The Dbacks. They a good but I don't hold any connection to them. Which is ok - cause regardless of who's playing I enjoy a good game. And their play facility is simply AMAZING. Such a beautiful field. I guess my LOVE for baseball came as a young one. Growing up in Seattle I got to experience going to games all the time. Mariners games that is. I LOVE the Seattle Mariners.

(safeco field where the mariners play.. my happiest place :) )

I always will love them. They may not be the best team in baseball but being a true fan means loving them regardless. And that is what I do. The M's travel down south, here to Az for their spring training. They are here for the whole month of March for pre season games. And it is fantastic!

I got to go to Opening Day on Wednesday of the Mariners pre season spring training game. I was oh so happy. Hence.. my happy place.

Now this field here in Az doesn't really compare to Safeco field in Seattle but I will take what I can get! I took the pictures of the game from my phone so they aren't the best pictures you've most likely ever seem but you get the idea, right?

It's the little and simple things in life that make us the happiest. Baseball is that for me.

Loves of my Life

2010-02-21T20:52:00.000-08:00

So it's been a while since my last post - and since I don't really have anything to blog about from the business side of things - I may have to incorporate some non-business things into the mix. I surely hope no one minds - cause I know how much you all LOVE reading about the big happenings of a business world. Anywho, I though I'd do a bit of blogging about the loves of my life...my sweet sweet nieces and nephews. I have the most BEAUTIFUL babies in my family. I certainly have a lot to live up to. I'm looking forward to this summer when Taylor, my oldest niece is getting baptised. I can't believe she is going to be 8! It's really unbelievable. My whole family will be getting together in Alabama (where Taylor and her fam currently reside) for the blessed event. So on that note - I'd like to introduce all my followers - which there are just millions of you I'm sure - to my favorite children who I love so so SO much.

Taylor Dawn Brown

July 17th 2002

Taylor is just the most fun 7 - almost 8 year old I know. She is such a beautiful little girl.She is growing up so fast and it makes me sad. However - it has been so fun to see her grow up to be such a talented little girl. She's in the second grade this year and is loving it. She seems to be following in her daddy's footsteps with her love of drawing and music. She is such a good helper to her mommy and takes great care of her two little sisters. She's gonna be a great little mommy one day! Even though Taylor called me "mean Jessie" for the first 2 or so years of her life we have made amends. I just love her so much and have had so much fun become not only her aunt but her friend!

Braeden Ross Finnestad

February 28th 2005Braeden is just the most handsome little boy I've ever seen. He is so fun! He's turning out to be quite the athlete. Soccer and baseball are his sports of choice. When I went to visit him this last summer I got to see him play and it was adorable! He is growing up to be such a sweet little boy. He has the greatest laugh EVER! It's contagious! He is super active and loves playing outside, with his super hero's, and with his puppy Roxy. Braeden is pretty much he's all boy - through and through. I just LOVE this little man to death!!! Miss you buddy!

Skylar Lynn Brown

April 5th 2005

Skylar is the free spirited child of the bunch. She is just the prettiest little thing. She is so loving and sweet. Although she can have a temper - she will cuddle you to death. I miss her random hugs she'd give. She wouldn't even have to have a reason to, she'd just come up and give you the biggest hug ever! And Sky has got a sweet tooth .... or more like teeth. HA! She'd eat candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner if she could. She must get that from her mama! She LOVES her barbie and princess's movies and could watch them all day long. Even though she use to eat dirt and rocks as a baby she's turned out to be quite the little girly girl. I miss your hugs sky sky! I love you oh so much!

Reece Michelle Finnestad

November 9th 2oo7

Reece may or may not be the funniest kid I have ever met. That fiery red hair of hers matches her fiery personality just perfectly! She is such a HOOT! Always making everyone laugh. She will brighten your day just like that! She is the most beautiful red head I've ever seen. They say red heads will be extinct in the next 10 years or so - so that makes Reecie even more special than she already is. She loves playing with her big brother and keeps him and everyone else for that matter on their toes! She is also very loving and playful! She loves making friends and playing with them every chance she gets. Dancing, playing with her dollies and giving her mama a run for her money are among Reecies many hobbies :) I love this little girl more than she even knows!

Sophie Ann Brown

August 25th 2009

Little Sophie was the first of the grand babies I got to be around right after she was born. She even lived in the same house as me - so I got to see her all the time! It was so wonderful. She was the most darling little baby girl. So sweet and precious! I miss being able to hold her whenever I want to and cuddle her whenever I want to. She is getting so big now and as expected - such a little beauty. Just like her older sisters. She is the chunkiest little thing! I wish I could squeeze her right here right now! I love love LOVE you little Sophers and can't wait till I get to cuddle you again!

Owen James Finnestad

December 29th 2009

Owen is the last of these beloved babes of our family. I have not met this little guy get and it is heartbreaking. All I've seen so far are the darling pictures his mom sends and so far he is as precious as the rest of the little ones. He looks just like his older brother Braeden when he was a baby. He is such a beautiful little baby boy. I can't wait till I get to hold and kiss him as much as I want. And hopefully that will be very soon! Even though I haven't met you yet little Owen I love you so much!! Can't wait till I get to give you my love!! See you soon little baby!

As you can tell - I'm in love with all 6 of these darling little ones (some not so little any more). I am so excellently blessed to have them in my life. I miss them every day and can't wait till I can see them again. Here are a few more pics for your viewing pleasure. These are my favorite ones of them through the years...

More to come....

Spoke to soon

2010-02-01T21:01:00.000-08:00

So today was an exciting day at the office. I shouldn't have made a post earlier .... oh well! A lot of people make two posts in one day, right?! haha. Well my mom went to her annual meeting with Corporate today and lets just say that things went great! I'm gonna get boring and business-ee on everyone here for a moment but we're up 19 percent in sales from last year!!!!! That is A LOT. One of the other stores in AZ (there's about 30) is up 5 percent and the other stores have either stayed the same or dropped from last year. So - naturally we are very excited for this jump in our business and 2010 is looking like it's gonna be a successful year. Something we've worked hard for.

On a semi different note.. something else happened today, something not so exciting but expected. An older gentlemen came in tonight to pick up an order his wife made over the phone. He came in and instantly I could tell from his demeanor that he was gonna be a little - shall I say - off. I greeted him, asked his name and went to get his pizza's. As I went to repeat his order to make sure we had got it , under his breath he says "she made a mistake". Instantly I thought "crap! what did I do now?" So I said " I'm sorry, did I make a mistake?". I looked at his order again and repeated it again and he says.. "no my wife made the mistake, but typical for you to get defensive... just like all women". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!?! How rude of him to say!! Oohhhh k dude. Just cause you are obviously having issues with your marriage/wife do NOT lump me in with all women. Please. And thank you. I was just making sure that we did not give you the wrong pizza. I hate it when places have good customer service. It really puts a damper on things! Jeez.. Anyway, I was very angry and cussed him in my mind until he left the store. I can't believe some people sometimes. That's just one of the many interesting experiences I've had at the office. I can say though, however, that the first part of the day did in fact weigh out the the latter part. You did not ruin my day sir. You fail. Sorry to say. And until we meet again - I hope you can start chipping away at that anger you have built up there on your shoulder. Good luck to you!

Boring...

2010-02-01T10:34:00.000-08:00

So things at P murph's have been.. well boring! No new drama in the "office" lately. It's been a nice brake, I must admit -BUT, it has put a damper on my blogging. This week I will however be working my little tushie off due to a much needed vacation to Utah in a week! That's right friends - in one week from today I will be back in the coveted P-town for FIVE days! I am very excited. Due to my FIVE days off -spent in my "comfort zone", I'll be working as much as possible. So I'm sure something dramatic will happen this week. Sorry my blogging has been lame thus far.. hopefully a long week will produce something good. I will keep you posted!

Final Destination

2010-01-20T20:42:00.000-08:00

Well when I decided to blog about my day's at the "office" it all started after a crazy 10 day's of being alone while my mom was visit my sister Angela and her sweet little family in Oklahoma City. She just had a new baby boy! So I was happy to take on the responsibility of the store so that my mom could go visit her newest grandbaby. She's left before and I've been able to handle things. It's been a breeze in the past - nothing to crazy. Just little things here and there but nothing I couldn't handle. But WOW, this time around was wild. I would venture to say, very stressful and very hard. However we did have a successfull 10 day's on the business side of things - so it was well worth all the work. So, the day after I started my blog and told y'all to "stay tuned" - well, it was for good reason. I woke up that very next morning to a phone call from one of our employee's letting me know there was a "small flood in the store". WHAT! Are you KIDDING me? That was my response. This is where the title "Final Destination" comes in. We have a sink in the back of the store - as you can see here, there is a knife holder placed right above the sink. It's magnetic - so, after the knifes are cleaned and dried - they are placed on the knife holder. Well, I guess that sometime in the middle of the night one of the big knifes we have feel off of the knife holder and hit the faucet just right - turned the water on and therefore caused a flood. One of my employee's said that sounds like something out of Final Destination! And it kinda does. What the heck?! How does a knife lose it's magnetic will to live - hit the faucet juuust right so that it turns on the water? Totally something out of a movie. And not a good movie - that's for sure. Anyway, I think to myself - ok- it can't be THAT bad. And really, it wasn't to bad. We had a nice floor cleaner guy come clean up the water. He did it quick and that was that. Until the nice gentelmen who is putting in a drycleaners right next to us comes over and says, my store is flooded and it looks like it came from your side. Well, awesome! So the floor guy had to come BACK and clean his store. So then -just when I think I'm free and clear of any other desaster for the day or week for that matter AT&T who's on the other side of us comes over and say's "did you guys have a flood? Our carpets all wet. What do you want to do about it?" hahaha. I just have to laugh now - but I tell you what - at the time I wanted to cry. So that nice floor cleaner man had to come back once again and clean their carpet. So it's save to say that 300 hundred dollars later - we are all clean and dry after a very wet day. Oh the joys of a business owner... See I told you you'd want to stay tuned. Pure excitment all the time at P murph's. ;)

What have I gotten myself into?

2010-01-18T17:15:00.000-08:00

So - I find myself perplexed. I once said, "I'll start a blog when I get married, that way I'll be interesting! I'll have so many fun married things to blog about. But what do I have to blog about in my life right now? Nothing! My life is boring." Welp.. I've decided I DO have something to blog about. Now maybe it's not as "glamorous" as being married, or having kids or anything of that sort, but it's all I got... for now. Over a year and three months ago I embarked on a journey that wasn't expected. I left my comfort zone (Provo Utah) and all that I knew was good (my friends and brother) to take on something different. Something that had NEVER in my whole 24 years of existence thought I'd be doing. Pizza making.... yep.. you read right people. Pizza making is what I do and what I'll most likely will be doing until further notice. My parents wanted a change and decided to start up a franchise of a Papa Murphy's Pizza in Mesa, Arizona (paradise). Much to their dismay, things did NOT work out the way they planned. It's funny what a crashing economy can do to a brand new business in a brand new market. Well, if you're curious as to what - lets just say - it's not good. Dad had to stay in Washington to keep his job so that we could build our new - not so thriving business. So that's where I come in. A young, single , 23 year old (living in my comfort zone) decides the best thing to do is help the family biz - to move to Arizona! And that's what I did..
This Blog will be about my day's at the Office (what my bestie Macy's calls it). What happens there and what I have to deal with. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not so good. Anyway, I think this will be good for me. A way to release my daily frustrations. Lets just say - two women running a business - who are not business women can make things quite interesting. But! We're doing it. And we're making it work. For now ;) So please - bare with me as I type with vigor, each day I feel the need too.
I do owe a lot of credit to the women behind all of this. The women - on days where I think I might hurt myself or others for that matter - is there to save me. My beautiful, hard working and devoted Mother. My roommate and business partner. Even though I know she'd MUCH rather be rooming with her hubby (if i had one, so would I. Who can blame the women?) She and I are in this together and I'm grateful for that each day.
So please - stay tuned! There is much behind the walls of a pizza shop you would't ever dare to think. You don't want to miss this...

This is our very first picture of OUR store before it even opened.
