Hoopty-Blah!

I can't even begin to tell you how much this sudden sore throat isn't wanted. I am supposed to go to Vegas on Friday with my hubby. Hopefully it is just the result of me leaving the bedroom window open last night. This sucks.

So, the last blog that I had/still have, had SO many hits so fast and it was literally about nothing! I'm kind of discouraged with this blog. As excited as I am about how it looks and how its going so far, I am thinking I should stick with my old one. I have people looking at it and reading it, but no followers yet. Alas, I will try to not let it get to me, I know the readers are out there! We shall see how the next week or so turns out. If all else fails, I still have my other nutty blog. :)

I want to put more recipes up for everyone but I kind of want to know what kind everyone likes. I have SO many recipes. I am making the baked French Toast tonight for dinner and I have to admit, I am pretty stoked. I am trying it with the caramel and the cream cheese tonight. Never done it that way before. (Yes, the picture was borrowed)

I realize that I am not a great writer and for that, I apologize greatly. I have always wanted to be one but, I got the short end of the stick when it comes to writing. However, I certainly can keep a good Journal. I have tons to say. For those of you that are just reading and have no idea who this crazy chick is, I should introduce myself:

My name is Jackie. I am a 29 year old Mom and wife from Utah. And yes, before you jump to far ahead and have to ask, I am a Mormon. Seems like everyone wants to know that when they hear that I am from Mormon Ville. However, the assumption that all Mormons are a cult and have many wives is NOT true. I have to get that out there before y'all start hating on us and making accusations about a religion that most people have NO clue about period. Yes, it is a touchy subject. BUT let me also be the first to admit to you that I am not an avid church goer. Not proud of it, but I won't lie and say that I go when I don't. I do believe everything that we are taught and to hope to some day regain a more powerful testimony of my faith.

Now that I have broken some ground ^^ (haha); I have three amazing children that I could not live without. They are my everything and I love them with all of my heart! I went through a horrid nasty divorce with my ex husband a few years ago and have been trying to mend my life as well as my children's lives ever since.

Almost two years ago, I met a very special man named James. I had only had one actual relationship after my ex and the relationship wasn't what I really wanted. So, on the verge of total distress and throwing in the towel for a relationship- James came along. First I thought that him and I would make a great friendship (met him online), but I couldn't stay away from him, I didn't want too. He drew me in so fast that I hadn't even put up the support beams on the wall I had built and WHAM, he broke through it just like that. The first night I met James, he greeted me with the most heart warming hug that seemed to last several minutes, but I didn't care. Our first kiss came instantly and sparks flew like magic and I had never had that happen before. I already knew that there was something very special about this guy and I wasn't going to let him go. James and I started dating in August and we were married that December. It was truly love at first sight and the magic of the stars. Corny as it sounds, its blissfully true.

Here I am over a year of marriage and completely smitten over my husband. Him and I didn't get a wedding, let alone even a shotgun wedding ha! Just him and I and the Judge. Times were tough and we were gold. Soul-mates as he puts it. :) Even though we didn't get a Wedding, James and I are finally going to take our long awaited Honeymoon. Nothing glamorous but as long as we get to be together, we don't care where we are. Since we only live 4 hours from Las Vegas, that became our awaited destination. Here is where that stupid (previously complained about) sore throat comes in play. Hopefully my home remedies fix the problem.

Anywho, there you are. My strange introduction. Hopefully now, I will get some followers. Wish me luck! :) Have a great day everyone!
