18 days and the Beginning of Forever!

Im soooooooooooooooooooo nervous about the surgery that im getting in less than a month on my lower back. I pray that it goes well. Im ready for my life to start back again. Been doing some wedding planning too. Got my cake picked out, my boots, and a few other things. Im getting really excited about my future with my best friend! :) I love him so much!

Photoshoot!!!!!!!

Havent been on in a while, just thought i'd write a little today.
I had an amazing day yesterday with an awesome girl, Sam! :) We shot photos for almost 5 hrs! Best shoot yet to the date!
Cant wait to do more photos of her in the future!

Help Others!

Been stuck at home all day, this stinks. Also been chatting with a friend trying to help him with his relationship. I thank God that He gave me the ability to be able to talk to people and help them through their struggles, I used to be the same way. I always wanted someone there to listen to me, and help me when I was in time of need.

Also, I did some Wii Fit exercises. I gotta get into more often. It's kinda hard to do it here at the house because it's a shared TV, so I have to exercise when no one is home. That's fine, it gives me a lil privacy and I end up getting more exercise that way. Friends, please keep me accountable in my journey of weight loss! I need that accountability.

Hope ya'll are having a great day,

Love in Christ,

AMBER

HOUSE at Home

I'm home all day today and since I need to get my medical terminology down, I'm watching HOUSE. Not only is the show funny, but it is a very good learning tool. We watch this show also at school. :) Love it. Ray and I have recorded all the Houses that are on TV.

I'm also home doing homework. Got a lot of that this weekend. Also just finished making dinner, Chicken and Rice, spiced with Terrigon. YUM!

Time to Subtract 10 lbs!

Just got back from a late night of babysitting. Havent done that in a while. Since tomorrow is Ray's first day at work, im going to start working out. We have Wii Fit, so im gonna work out on that. My goal for this month is to lose 10 lbs. I will keep everyone updated. Ive already changed my eating habits, and im drinking green tea too. No more sodas, no more sugar. VEGGIES, flax seed, whole grain, protein, and fruit. By my wedding i want to have lost 50-75 lbs.

Time to be healthy!

Pray for me!

Life can be a Headache Sometimes!

TMJ doctor went well. Still need a little healing in my jaw. May have to have an MRI to see if there is still more inflammation. If there is, I may have to have some injections. My jaw is still clicking and im still getting major headaches.

United Frame Agency

Gloomy day out today. It's been raining all day. Very normal for Florida. It will prolly be raining for the next 7 days. Ive got a very busy weekend ahead of me! So much homework and studying to do, and I have to start writing my paper about Child Abuse. Also have my 3 photoshoots.

Business meeting with my parter Jon for our new Modeling Agency Business. Up and coming. We have called it United Frame Agency. We are going to start doing auditions pretty soon, and help our clients get together a portfolio and start looking for locations to send them out too! Im really excited! Its helping to pay the bills. Also, for the next few weeks, or months, we are fixing up our location(painting, cleaning, decorating, advertising). I cant wait!

Just got done with therapy about 30 mintues ago. Im now at the Venoy again. Ray is filling out some finishing paperwork for his new job. Im soooo excited for him!

Ive finished all my homework, got it all done at school. As soon as we are done here we are going home to get ready for church. I love the church that I am going to, Countryside Christian Center. I have so many people there that keep me in check, and hold me accountable for my actions. They are always so encouraging.

Havent had much time lately to hang out with anyone because my scooter is in consignment, but i know that God is going to provide another mode of transportation for me soon. Im looking to buy a car later this month. Been doing a lot of photoshoots to save for a car.

Im also happy to say that i am very excited about going to my externship in less than 3 months. :) Yippee!

Hope that ya'll are blessed today!

Love in Christ,

BE READY FOR ME: CALLING AN AMBER ALERT

So, i think i'm really getting the hang of this medical terminology. I find myself getting ahead in homework, which, in the end is good. At first i thought it was going to be a lot to rack my brain, but once you learn prefixes and suffixes, it all comes together! :) Pretty soon ill be talking medical lingo! WOO HOO! Be prepared! LOL

Also, for a project for this module we are asked to write a paper about an ethical topic. I havent decided for sure what i want mine to be on, but I was thinking, either Abortion or Child Abuse.

Im on lunch break right now, but i have to get back to class in about 10 min. Ill chat with all you friends later after school. Im hoping to write a longer post.

In Christ,

AMBER

Had a fun night tonite!

Also forgot to mention, after 6 long months of Job hunting, RAY GOT A JOB! He's gonna be a valet at the Venoy! :) We both are very excited that our lives are somewhat turning around!

MY FOREVER

I got to thinking, I'm not gonna stop myself from writing more than one post a day. If I have something to say, I'm gonna write it down.

First I think I should introduce my fiance to everyone. I met Raymond 9 months ago, April 5th. We met on Plentyoffish.com, a dating website. We started hanging out shooting pictures together, more so as business partners at first before any attraction started between us. Then we grew closer together, as we began to discover that we had sooo much in common, and we had fun being around one another. I would drive over an hour just to see him, and he would come to see me on the opposite days. That's how our relationship began.

Many series of events passed between April and July. I moved twice, later ended up having to stay at Ray's parent's house. July 4th, we went to Miami with his father. We had dinner, then went to see the fireworks on the beach. Ray and I walked to a different spot than his father to see the fireworks. Ray then told me that he wanted me to be his other half, the rest of his world. Of course I said yes. I knew at that moment, this was the man that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. He was there for me, helped me get through the difficult things in life, and still does! :) For all that we have been through, I know that our love for each other is enduring, and everlasting!

We are happy to say that we are getting married on September 17, 2011. We are getting married in a barn in Brooksville, FL. I can't wait until this life-changing day! :) It's going to be amazing. I can't wait to be this man's wife, to be a mother, and to serve God as the godly woman that He has called me to be! :)

Ever Story has to have a beginning.

Gotta start somewhere eh???

I decided to start a blog, cause i guess you could say, its my way of venting. I really haven't written much lately, and I want to get back into it. Even if life gets busy, I still want to share a part of it with the World.

To start, I'm currently in a lot of pain due to an accident that Raymond(my fiance), and I were in October 21st. I had a myelogram yesterday to insure that the laser surgery that I will be receiving later this month will be successful. I pray that it goes well. And I know too, that this too shall pass. God has a greater purpose for my life, and this is just a small part of it. We go through trials, struggles, happiness, and tears all for the Greater Good!

I also want to post a verse every day that I post on here. The first verse, being very fitting, and my life verse:

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your Heart and lean not on your own Understanding. In all your ways Acknowledge Him, and He will make your Paths straight."
