My name is Denise. I still live at home with my parents, and yes, I am over the age of 18. I am 24 to be exact. My parents have been married for 30+ years and they are just as crazy about each other as the day that they got married. My parents have a black lab named Shadow and I have a Pomeranian who is a year old and her name is Bella. I also have a grumpy old cat named Nala but she holds a very special place in my heart... And my bed. I have 2 older sisters and 2 brothers-in-law. My sisters are my best friends. I do not know what I would do without them. I am a Christian but I do not have a religion, I have a personal relationship with my Lord Jesus. Without Him, I would be nothing. I am engaged to the love of my life, my best friend, my better half and my high school sweetheart, Rob. We have been together nearly 7 years now and I hope that this time next year we will be putting the final preparations on our wedding. We do not have a specific date set yet but I know we will very soon. Don't worry, when we finally set the date, I will be shouting it from the rooftops.
I am a busy girl who works 3 jobs and also dabbles in a lot of craft projects. I am a stay at home Aunt for my niece, Kati and my nephews, Logan and Jackson and come September 4th, Abigail Renee will be joining our family. I am also a Premier Designs Jewelry, Independent Distributor. I am a jewelry lady who goes into the homes of ladies and adds a little sparkle to their lives. I have been with Premier for almost 4 years now and I absolutely love it. I love that it gives me the freedom to work from home and support myself while I stay home and help raise my nieces and nephews. This company is such a blessing to me and even better, it is a biblically based company that supports missionaries in 60+ countries. So it isn't just about me. There is a bigger picture. My third job is that I am a scheduler for a local mortgage protection insurance agent. This is my most recently acquired job. I have been doing this for abut 3 months now so I am still learning but I am enjoying the process of learning something new. What I do is I call people and ask some basic health questions before I set up an appointment for them to meet with my agent. Sometimes I talk to really sweet and kind people, other times, I talk to grumpy people who curse me out. I never know what type of person I am going to speak with which makes my job so much fun.
If I am not working, you can usually find me at home or at Rob's families apartment. I usually have a crochet hook in one hand and a ball of yarn in the other. I discovered my love of crochet only 6 months ago but I am 'hooked' (forgive my horrible joke). I have already made Christmas gifts, baby blankets, scarves and many other things. I find that it helps me to relax after a stressful day and helps me to go to bed and fall asleep faster. I also enjoy doing plastic canvas, I have made many many many tissue boxes and assorted gifts. I also loom knit, basically it's the lazy girls way to make a quick hat and scarf.
You might also find me snuggled up in bed with my cat, a fluffy blanket and a good book. My recent reading list has included The Hunger Games and anything by Bob Harper. I am one of those pathetic self-help book readers. I am constantly looking for ways to better myself, wether that be emotionally, physically of spiritually. I am also one of those girls who is constantly trying a new diet or cleanse. I am always trying to fix my self image and I constantly struggle with my self esteem. In high school, I was one of those tall skinny girls and then about 5 seconds after I graduated, I blew up like a balloon.
I have started a couple other blogs over the years but they have always been focused on one subject and I got bored so I stopped writing and ignored the blog. This blog, however, is going to be my free for all. Family, love, work, health, crochet and anything else I can think of. Be warned! I will be random and silly and then I will also be serious at times. Here we go!!
{{Hugs, Denise}}
