Seven Confessions...

SEVEN CONFESSIONS OF ME!!
Chelsea Renee (Cammarata) Weighner

"The spitting image of my father

And when the day is done

My momma's still my biggest fan

Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy

But I've got friends that love me

And they know just where I stand

It's all a part of me

And that's who I am"

Things you may (or may not) know about me...

ONE: I love to shop, and might be a little high maintenance at times..

Okay... Okay.. this might not be news, but what you don't know is... I shop sales racks, clearance, when it comes to online shopping I add things to my shopping cart for weeks before I make a purchase.. I have horrible buyers remorse.. 

TWO: Planner

I am a planner, my whole life I have been a planner. For as long as I could remember, I had my whole life planned out...

Graduate High School

Move to Colorado

Go to CSU to be a Vet

Get Married at 20

Be a Large Animal Vet in San Diego

This was my plan, my life, my everything. Although a few of those things didn't happen, I'm perfectly fine with how my life turned out (so far) and I'm loving every second of it.. 

I loved planning my wedding, and if I ever move to a big city I would love to be a wedding planner!

Pinterest is def my favorite thing of all!

With that being said...

THREE: Baby Fever to the MAXXXX!!!

Yes, I have baby fever. I want to be a mom, and have a mini me..

{but now is not the time, and I'm perfectly okay with that!}

Going back to being a planner...

I have my whole nursery planned, all of my parties planned (baby shower, sip and see, gender reveal party, etc), I know how I'm going to announce my pregnancy, my birth and everything in between!!

Yes, I understand life happens and things change!

FOUR: Before I was 7 I have lived in more states then I can count on one hand

I was born in Panama. I lived there until I was 3. From age 3-7 we moved, a lot! We lived in 

Washington
Colorado (3 different times)
Connecticut

Arizona

Illinois
Wisconsin

(think that is it)

Thanks to us moving a lot, I am okay with packing everything up and moving, I love to travel and see new things.

FIVE: I am an open book!

What was your first guess? I'm a blog writer!

I have nothing to hide, ask me anything and I will share. My thoughts are if you don't like me for me then that is not my problem! 

I am very honest. I am not shy, I will tell you what is on my mind.. Don't worry about me hiding behind the bush.. This gets me in trouble..

SIX: I am a Fitness JUNKIE!!

I recently have started a fitness, getting in shape, losing weight journey (more on this in a later post)
I have lost 18 lbs since March. (and maintaining it)
I LOVE MY DAILY SHAKEOLOGY!!!!

I recently signed up to be a Beachbody coach so I can help other meet their fitness goals as well.
I enjoy eating healthy, and some what enjoy working out! I love the after feeling the best!!

SEVEN: My best friend and I have been friends for... 14 years

Miss. Katie Elizabeth Gauthier and I have been best friends for the past 14 years..

Although we live in different states, and don't see each other often we are still BFF and start right where we left off..
We talk via text, Facebook, phone often.

When we are together people think we are drunk when in reality we just have so much fun together..
Yes, we have had ups and downs but no matter what I know I can count on this girl to the end, and she will ALWAYS be there for me (&& I will always be there for her too)

Furbabies!!

Happy National Dog Day!!

Since today is national dog day, what a great excuse to blog about the 2 precious fur babies..

First off, stop judging! I am a dog mom proud dog mom! I love my puppies as much as you love your children! I baby them like crazy, and spoil them to no end! I'm not ashamed at all!!

Okay, now that is out of the way lets get to the girls!!

Lady! named after Lady from Lady and the Tramp

Lady was our first "big" purchase as a couple.. We bought her from a local pet store in Fort Collins, CO.. (again no judging.. we rescued her!) She is a cock-a-poo (75% cocker spaniel 25% poodle) She is very naughty and is too smart for her own good. She loves playing ball and always has to be playing with a toy. When she gets in trouble and Kiara is near by she growls and bites her, almost like she is blaming her for getting in trouble.. Lady is 3 years old as of July 28! She hates cuddling unless it is her idea (early mornings, and night time) 

Kiara! (KEY-ARE-UH) named after Kiara from Lion King 2

Kiara is the total opposite of little Lady.. She is a cuddle bug, and craves attention.. She is an all black cock-a-poo (50-50) She is very timid, although she is a little more brave when Lady is around.. We also go her from a local pet store in CO.. She tries to play ball, and gets that proud look on her face when she gets the ball before Lady. She enjoys throwing her toys and chasing them by herself..  Kiara is 2 years old as of April 28 (exactly 9 months younger then Lady) She was our first "big" purchase as husband and wife..

That is basically our little girls in a nutshell.. Yes, I am a crazy dog lady, and Yes I am proud to be! :) 

...BUT we can't forget about my 2 dogs that are in doggy heaven!! 

Jewel named after 101 Dalmatians

She was our family dog that we had the longest.. She was 14 years old before she went to be an angel.. We miss her very much she was the best dog ever!!

Jock named after Lady in the Tramp

Jocker just went to doggy heaven to be with Jewel in May.. He is missed very much and was a great dog. He lived a great long life, and is no longer in pain. He is a mini schnauzer.. I got him because my dad promised me a dog of my choice that would be ALL mine! So glad I chose him..

Hubby and Wifey ONLY!

DATE NIGHTS ARE THE BEST!!!

Once a week (normally Saturdays) Luke and I go on a date night.. This is something that we decided early on in our marriage.. Even tho it is just the two of us all the time, date nights are still required.

Reasons I love DATE NIGHTS:

* No TV
* We get to talk about our day, week, the next week
* Spend one on one time
* No cell phones
* It's a lot of fun
* Sometimes we lose focus on us with work and life getting in the way
* It brings back dating life

Dates are just great.. We will never stop going having date night.. even when we are 95 years old we will still have a weekly date night!!

Night Night All

2 Years Down... Forever To Go!!!!

Let's rewind to 2 1/2 months ago! 

Our 2nd wedding anniversary!!

Since our anniversary was on a Monday we decided we would go to Denver the weekend after to celebrate!

I left for a week of training on our anniversary. I wanted to make our anniversary special especially since I wouldn't be there all day! 2nd wedding anniversary is the Cotton Anniversary. I am  "that wife" and went all out with the cotton theme the day of our anniversary. I made cotton candy cupcakes, gave him cotton swabs, made a cotton sign. This is what Luke woke up to!

Cotton Candy Cupcakes

We ending up going to lunch together at Chili's to celebrate before I left for my training..

On Saturday, we left to head to Denver. We stayed downtown at the Hyatt Hotel, it was really fancy! After we got engaged we went to the Melting Pot, for your 1st anniversary, and then again for our 2nd. We love the Melting Pot. The atmosphere is great, and perfect for any special date. The food is amazing as well. For those of you who have never been I highly recommend it. It is a fondue restaurant. You never leave hungry since it's a 4 course meal. First you get to choose a salad, then a cheese fondue served with apples, veggies, and bread. Next is the main course, raw meat that you cook yourself in a fondue pot. Lastly is the best, chocolate fondue served with cheesecake, brownies, marshmallows, pound cake, strawberries, and bananas.

We also did a photo shoot. This is going to be a yearly thing for all anniversaries. The photo shoot was in Denver done by JRanae Photography. It was so much fun. You will notice in a few pictures we having matching shirts. I order us anniversary shirts every year. ( I will save them all and once we have a lot will make a quilt with all of them)

(FOR MORE FROM THE PHOTO SHOOT)

My gift was the best. Luke got me a Micheal Kors purse. Not only a purse but a wallet too!! I have always wanted one. The best part is it was a total surprise and he picked it out all on his own.

I got Luke a set of golf irons. Since I couldn't pick them out myself I gave him the cash and a few smaller gifts for him to open! :)

Luke's Golf Irons!

*2 shoes- 2 years running strong!
*24 Kisses- 24 months together, 1 kiss for each month
*104 dollar bills- 104 weeks together is worth more then anything money can buy.
*730 mini m&ms (yes, I counted all of them)- 730 sweet days with you!

All of those were in a tool box as well as a golfing shirt.


We had a lot of fun spending 2 nights in Denver and getting away. Can't wait for many more years to come!!
