♫ I met Kandee ♫


Last Thursday night (8Sept11) I had the privilege of meeting one of my inspirations.  I knew that she was going to be in New York City for Fashion Week, and that she was having a meet up sometime while she was there.  I didn't, however, know that I would be one of the girls who would be standing in the "Kandee Family" line waiting to be graced by her sweetness :).  
Earlier in the day I had randomly sent a text message to my husband that I wanted to go to New York that night, and he surprised me with saying, "Why not?".  The rest of the day I was trying to talk myself out of it. Feeling unsure of whether driving a few hours just to meet someone, who doesn't know me, for just a mere 3-5 minutes was worth it.  Let me tell you, IT WAS WORTH IT!!!  
I didn't really know what to say when I met her (surprise surprise haha), but she grabbed me up and hugged me a million times, and made me feel like we were forever friends :).  
It is kind of funny because her fame has built from youtube  and makeup, but being someone who isn't all that into makeup, I still love her!  Her personality is captivating, watching her on video feels like I am watching my best friend.  She is so silly and bubbly, and one of the most inspiring people I NOW have ever met.  She has helped me realize what I want to do with my life, and some how through the screen of my computer, has encouraged me to follow my dreams.  
I know that she has millions of followers, and every one of us has our own story, but it would be so amazing to be able to sit down with her and tell her how much she has impacted my life.  I feel kinda silly saying that, but it is completely true.  She is a real person, what we see on video, and read in her blogs is real..and that's what made my experience so special. 
I know there are a ton of "haters" out there that want to run her through the mud, I feel sorry for those people.  They can't possibly get any satisfaction from the hurtful things they say, because she always comes out of it with a smile.  There are soo many more people that adore her than there are that don't.  
Life changing moments.
I was speechless (nerd)!

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
