Changes!

Good Morning fellow bloggers! 

Happy Wednesday, Hump Day, Middle of the week!

Today I thought I would blog about changes! 

I tend not to get TOO personal on here, but when I really got down to thinking about why I didn't have a valid reason. Now that's not to say I'll be giving you guys my phone number and address haha! 

Regardless, there are a few things you guys don't know about me... 

1. I got married when I was 18 

2. His family was famous....Famous in Calgary any ways.

3. I got divorced when I was 19

4. I've struggled to get back on my feet since then

Long story short. We were together for 5 years, and when it was over, I was left with nothing. 

When I say nothing, I mean literally the shirt on my back. 

For a few years I bounced between jobs, and boyfriends (If you even want to call them that, most were awful!)

Now, I've found myself with a good career, lots of positive things, and lots of goals and aspirations! 

If it weren't for a select few, I would have been terribly lost. For those people, I am forever grateful.

It's situations like this that really make you realize who your true friends are. Believe it or not, most "friends" from back then are LONG gone, and I wish them all the best, but have no interest in keeping in touch. 

So! Now that you've all been clued in... 

The changes! 

My body is one of course, but it's always changing! In a good way!

I may be relocating... within my city of course. Closer to work, and well living like a princess. 

We will see if all my plans go through or not! 

This plan also includes a fur baby!! So I'm really hoping it all goes well!

2012 just might be a great year for me! 

I hope you all enjoy your day, and I look forward to reading all about your changes!

Calgary Auto Show!

Well my dears, once again I did the photos for Audi in our Annual Auto Show!

I just thought I would share one with you! 

I had a little too much fun in photoshop haha, the car is actually just white, but it looks pretty cool my way too :)

Do any of you ladies like cars as much as I do? 

Sometimes & Always

This morning I stumbled across a new blog, one that I happened to absolutely love!

So I just HAD to share this with you guys! 

Megan from Mackey Madness

posted her Sometime's & Always! 

So to join in on the fun, here's mine! <3 

Sometimes; I don't feel like going to the gym after work

Always; I feel great after I convince myself to go 

Sometimes; I wonder what life would be like if we were still together

Always; I remember that this is all in God's plan for me

Sometimes; I look into buying my own house

Always; I realize it's a good goal, but I'm not quite ready yet

Sometimes; I get tired of shady people and drama

Always; I am thankful for the great friends I have

Sometimes; I wish my body was more fit

Always; I work out to ensure I reach my goal

Sometimes; I can't figure out what to eat 

Always; I resort to something with chicken in it!

Sometimes; I get jealous seeing all you bloggers with your hubbys/boyfriends

Always; I know in time, I too will be as fortunate as all of you

Love all ya'll!

2. Who is the most important person to you?

Hola Bloggers!

Well I made it back from Cancun safe and sound! Sorry for not blogging while I was away but the internet access was limited, and well..... I was on vacation!

Mexico was absolutely amazing! 

We met Snooki and JWow from Jersey Shore, Went to see Avicii live in a nightclub that held 7000 people, drank way too much tequila, Went to a glow paint party, Shopped of course, Swam in the ocean, Went kayaking, Rode ATV's through the jungle, dove into Cenote (caves with crystal blue water), Went zip-lining, Found Mexican boyfriends, and had a blast hanging out! 

The week was amazing to say the least! Here's a few pics to recap some of the trip! 

This is me, drunk on the first day ahah

Positive outlook; Positive outcome.

Good Morning my Loves.

I hope you are all enjoying your Thursday! We are one day closer to Friday, which is pretty much the weekend!

Today I wanted to write about being positive. So many of us take things in life for granted when we really shouldn't. I'm not saying I'm a saint by any means, but I do feel like often times we lose sight of the things that truly matter. Life isn't about the places we go, it's about the road we take to get there. It's a journey, not a destination. 

If you see things in a positive way, you will get a positive outcome. Whether it comes as a lesson, or something else it will be positive. Even things that don't appear positive can be learning experiences.  If you look at things in a negative manner, they will be negative. Negative thoughts, lead to negative actions, and those actions soon become outcomes, which will in turn lead to a lifestyle. Live in the now!

Everything I do, I enjoy. If I don't enjoy something, I find a way to make it better, or a positive experience at the least. I work hard, but I love what I do, and I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. It gets tough, and there are most certainly days, that I want to give up and do something else. Those are the days I stop and think to myself what I would be doing if I didn't have my job, or my family, or any of the things that matter to me. I wouldn't be in a very good place at all. 

I am very grateful for the things that I have in my life, I've worked very hard to get to where I am, and I will continue to work hard for all my days to come. All you can do is try, the fear of failure is greater than failure itself. If you keep that mindset all the time, you really have nothing to be afraid of. 

I think the happiest of people don't necessarily have everything, they just make the best of everything they have. 

Take 5 minutes today and think about the things in life that truly mean the most to you. If these things are people, make sure you take the time to acknowledge that they mean so much to you. You never know what tomorrow will bring, so it's better to let someone know how much you care, before you don't have that option anymore. 

These are the things I appreciate;

1. My family (my parents and brother mean the world to me)

2. My close friends

3. My job (without it, I couldn't lead the lifestyle I do)

4. God (he may not know it, but I appreciate everything he does for me)

5. Karma; This one always comes around, I've learned this one first hand.

Happy Thursday Ladies!

Much Love 

Jessica
