Life changes...
I'm so proud of myself because I'm posting a lot sooner then i have been. It is amazing how life can change so fast! Jason has now been jobless for a month now... It has been really hard on him and I but the great thing is Jason and I are so great at communicating so we have really been able to get through this together. I do the job looking for him and he makes the calls and he goes on the interviews which he hasn't had many and the has been getting nothing but rejected.. I just don't understand people in Missouri.. They are all just so old fashioned and won't give anyone a chance unless someone knows you, who cares that you are a great worker and just care about if people know you and they are so quick to judge you.. Ask my poor dad he has been trying to get a job for now and he hasn't had any luck either.. GRRRRRRR things just drive me crazy!!!! Saturday just has my hubby was going to give up on finding a job, I found him one on ldsjobs.org and it is in Mesa AZ.. YES that is right we might have a chance to go back HOME!!!!! Don't get me wrong it's not that I'm grateful for the opportunity to have lived in Missouri and be around my wonderful family, it is just.... Mesa has so much more to offer us.. If Jason gets this job then he will be working during the day and going to HVAC school in the evening, that way we won't have to worry about him not having a job and he really wants to do this. I have also thought about going to work part-time to in a salon just so that I can help support our family and I can get some more education and learn more so I can feel confident in opening my own salon or school someday. I think that Nevaeh needs some interaction with other kids since she doesn't have any brother's or sister's right now, I think that she will learn and grow by being around other kids. The Church is so much more stronger in Mesa then it is here in our little branch and besides Nevaeh has reached a stepping stone in her life and that is NURSERY!!! Yes our little princess in 18 months today!!! There are no other kids in the nursery here so once again she will be alone. There is just something about MESA!! I really can't explain it but whenever I leave I always want to go back and believe me I always do.. I will tell you that if we get to move back to Mesa I WILL NEVER LEAVE unless the prophet of the church told us we need to.

Catch up Time
I know it has been a long time since I have done this but you know it is the story of my life.. A lot has been going on for this little McCabe family like always.. First.. ME well I'm doing ok here I have been able to do some hair which makes me super excited but not enough to keep me super busy.. I have been having a super hard time leaving here in Missouri, I wish I could say that I love it here but that would be a lie.. I love having my family around but I super miss my girls.... I am the kind of person who loves people and loves to be around them and I NEED MY GIRLS in my life. Sometimes as a stay at home mom you just needs some friend time because you are home all the time and I really don't get that.. Don't get me wrong it's not that am complaining my any means that I'm a stay at home mom , because I LOVE being home with my little girl.. It's just I need some time for Me!When i was living in AZ I had that but here I don't and it really makes me sad.... In Feb i weighed myself and realized I had gotten pretty heavy so I decided I needed to do something about it because I was feeling so blah and so depressed.. Well as huge Biggest Loser Fan, I decied to buy a 30 day Biggest Loser program book , I loved it I was working out each day and eating really healthy and in the first week I lost 7lbs. Man was i so excited but then I was getting down to just losing a 2lbs a week and i was still pretty happy but I wanted to lose more so I tired the HCG diet and let's just say that is not easy and i failed at that.. I LOVE SUGAR!!! and on that you can't eat sugar for 1 month and only 500 cal a day, no working out and you had to take these yucky drops 6 times a day that tasted like alcohol.. YUCK not for me. Now I'm back to my diet plan and I feel much better I have lost a total of 18 lbs so far.. My little family and I have been doing a lot of walk lately so that has helped a lot.. Enough of me now on to that family...
Nevaeh!!!! she is such a growing girl.. She will be 18months the 20th of this month which I can't believe because my little girl is growing up so fast. She weighs only 20lbs and is 30 inches long, her 5 month old cousin is about to catch up to her.. I never in my life thought I would have such a little tiny girl but we do and we love her so much.. she now loves to read books and she can climb up on the couch and jump off, she is such a little ham her personality is really coming out and I can tell she is going to be like her dad.. Always wants to make people laugh! I did catch here the other day standing in front of the mirror just looking at her self and watching her self drink out of her cup ,eat and dance .. she just cracks me up, She really isn't saying any new words but she has started making up her own language so I hope that means she will be talking more because when ever she wants something it is "E" and points to what she wants.. We took her swimming for the first time this yr and she had so much fun... She went under the water 3 times which freaked me out but she didn't mind it at all and had a blast! It is super exciting to see her grow and learn.
Jason (AKA DADA ) He is an amazing hard worker.. He got a job working with his uncle doing electrical work all over Missouri , KS and OK it lasted for a while but now it has ended he hasn't been working for almost three weeks now and he is starting to get frustrated because he is doing everything thing he can to get a job but we just haven't had any luck yet. He has just been made Elders Q President here in our little branch which is super exciting for him and our little family.. I think it will be such a good calling for him and he will be able to teach these men some things and he will be taught many new things :) Since he has been home he has been such a great help around the house.. He has been really helping me with Nevaeh , cleaning and cooking.. I tell you what I have the best Husband ever!!!!

My baby girl and I
What a big girl brushing her teeth
she love her daddy
we are dorks we know lol
here we are again
Home Sweet Home In Chillicothe MissouriWow a lot has changed for the McCabe family.. we now live in Chillicothe Missouri which is super close to my parents.. It was a fast move but we had to do something.. Jason lost his job back in October and we weren't having any luck in Mesa so we left.. I will tell you this was one of the hardest things I have had to do in a long time.. I was really happy in Mesa and I felt like finally once in my life I was settled but I guess that is what I get for thinking.. I really miss all my wonderful friends in Mesa so much and it is adjustment being here because I once again am left home alone w just Nevaeh .. Jason works out of town every week so I'm all by myself.... It sucks but I have to just deal with it and enjoy the time I have when my hubby is home. Lately he hasn't had much work because of the weather because it has been the worse Winter that Chillicothe has seen in over 20 yrs so it was nice having him home but he has to work so we can pay the bills lol.
Living in Chillicothe is nice because we live in a nice house and this is a really small town so once it warms up Nevaeh and I will be walking all over this town. I feel really safe here which is good and I get to be around all my family which I have missed so much but again I still miss my friends.. The cost of living her is way cheap compared to Mesa that is for sure so hopefully we will be buying a house next yr or the end of this year.
I have a little room off the back of my house that I set up as my salon but business has been pretty slow so I'm doing some advertising to get it started because my goal is by next April I will have a real salon.
Ok so on with family stuff.. WEll Nevaeh is growing like a weed last time she was weighed which was all most 1 month ago she weighed 19.2 oz and 27 inches long.. she is starting to walk and can totally stand like a pro! She can say Mama and Dada and today she was saying "HI" which is so cute and man dose she love to dance, music comes on and she starts to dance.. she is really becoming independent when it comes to eating she now takes the spoon out of my hand and tries to eat herself lol it is so cute and she really loves to go play w her cousins.. Alyssa and Bay are her fav.. the boy cousins would be Ray Ray and Brandon.. She loves all her aunts and her Papa and G-ma Singer. Over all I would say she is just growing up to fast.
Ok well I'm going to post some pics now sorry it has taken a while to post i will try better next time.

Halloween
McCabe Family First Halloween
This what happens when Daddy is the babysitter
Halloween Mini Mouse
Helping pass out Candy with Aunti Amanda
Pickingout the candy that she wanted but didn't get to eat
Halloween Mini Mouse .. and what a cute one she was
Before she turned into Halloween Mini MouseOne of our favorite holidays is Halloween and it being our first one we had a nice time it wasn't what i expected or wanted it to be but we made do w what what we had since our fund were small. Friday night we had our ward Party which was fun to see everyone all dressed up, we did get to stay long cause it was pretty cool outside and i was worried that Nevaeh would be to cold so we hung out for a little bit and then headed to our friends Mac and Jess Rainwater for Mac's birthday.
Halloween I had to go help set up for our Primary program so I left Nevaeh w her daddy and when i came back i came home to both of them pasted out on the floor sleeping lol and the funny thing is Jason woke up for min to talk to me and then fell back to sleep but he fell asleep sitting up so of coures I had to take a pic lol. We decided that we weren't going to go trick or treating this year cause i thought she was to young so we went over to grandma and grandpa McCabes to help pass our candy .. I wasn't very much into Halloween that night cause my kidneys were hearting me so we didn't dress up or even really get Nevaeh dressed up but we did have a fun time watching Nevaeh look at all the kids that were dressed up. I think for her first Halloween she enjoyed herself. Next year it is so on we are going to have the best Halloween ever :)
The changes in our lives
I guess I'm better at updating once a month but i guess that is better then nothing lol.
October has been a very interesting month for our little family. Nevaeh is now crawling and pulling her self up on everything which is pretty scary cause she is falling all the time and the other day she got her first bloody lip :( That made me sad but i knew that this is the only beginning of her falling and getting hurt. She is growing like a little weed.. Not so much on getting fat but she is long.. she went to wearing 0-3 month clothes for like 8months to wearing 3-6 for 2 months and now she is finally in 6-9 month old clothes.. She is almost 1yr old we have one more month and my baby girl will be a year old, that to me is just so crazy too think of but i guess she has to grow up someday. Nevaeh has such personality she love to laugh and she make the cuties sounds ever.. She can say Dada and her thing for a while was ah ha which i think is so cute but now she pushes her lips out like a little monkey and makes sounds like one it is so cute. She love to bounce up in down on her bum.. every time she hears music she dances.. and she is known for her Happy Feet.. She loves to sit and just kick and when she stands up her little feet are just moving all the time (reason why she falls) . Her to fav shows to watch are Sesame Street and Barney.. I know i swore that my child would never watch Barney but she just love it so i guess I'm OK with it. Being a mom is such a blessing in my life and i love each and everyday I get to spend time with her.
OK so now more of the serious stuff that has been going on in our life.. Almost three weeks ago Jason got layed of from his job :( I thought this would never happen to us but it did and all i can say is that I think i have been handling it quite well.. First thing i did was get on my knees and pray to Heavenly Father for all he has given us thus far and then i asked him what we need to do and give me comfort in what happens. Jason called his Uncle in MO to see if he has any work for him and he said that he might but to get back w him in a few weeks to find out for sure. Jason looked at me after he got off the phone and said"Honey we are moving to MO" Normally my reaction would be sweet let's go but not this time... I was kind of sad because I have finally felt like i was settled and I never want to move ever again but see this is what happen when you say that cause Heavenly Father has more in store for us. We have been fasting and praying about this and let me tell you this has been a very hard descion for me but i will tell you I will always support my hubby and if this is were he wants to go then i will do it. the great thing is that my family is back there and well we all need to pull together as a family right now cause Satan is really work on a few member of my family so maybe it will be a good thing for us to go back and help. Lately i have had a feeling that we don't belong here anymore but i keep trying to ignore it because I'm really enjoying my life here but i know Heavenly father has much more in store for this little family. All i can say is " I WILL GO WHERE YOU WANT ME TO GO DEAR LORD I WILL DO WHAT YOU WHAT ME TO DO"

Life!
You know i thought i was going to be really good at this and do this like all the time but i guess i was wrong..
Jason and i have made a deal together to go work out at the gym and loose weight! I totally need to now that my baby is girl is almost 1yrs old. We started last week and it was great!!! This week we have done a pretty good job at going and the thing i love most about it is that i get to spend time w my hubby, i have already figured out that I can't do it with out him, he is my support and well let's just say i kinda like to compete w him but shhhh don't tell him. Our sweet little Love Bug( that is my name for her) is growing up so so fast in 18 days she is going to me 10 months old!!!!!! Where has the time gone it just seems like she was just born. She is getting so big well really she is pretty sm for her age she weighs 15.4 and she is 27 inches long.. She has very long legs just like her mommy. Nevaeh now has two bottom teeth which are super cute, she is doing the army crawl and she sits up all on her own. I'm so not ready for her to be doing all this stuff yet, I'm excited but sad at the same time.
My hair business it doing so great right now and I know it is all thanks to Heavenly Father!!! I have been trying to do everything that is asked of me and in return he is blessing me w all of these wonderful people. Jason has earned a weeks paid vacation so he is such a wonderful hubby and has decided to go to MO to see my family in November, we are going to be gone for 13days and I'm just so excited!!!! My sister April is going to be having a baby in Dec and they will be having her baby shower when we are up there to and my Grams, Aunt Debbie and cousin Dawn will be there too.. I'm super excited for that cause my aunt or cousin haven't met Jason or Nevaeh so that will be fun for them to get to know them and i haven't met Dawns youngest either plus we are going to celebrate my Daddy's Birthday and my Nephew's, this will be a trip that is defiantly needed.

Night Owel
Ok so it is like 2am and i'm still up!!! What the heck i'm i thinking??? My baby will be up in 2 to 3 hrs and i'm on this silly computer.. well if you know my mom at all she is a total night owel . I remember coming home from dates and she would still be up and if she wasn't up then I would wonder what was wrong w her and till this day at the young age of 57 she still stays up late. I guess it just runs in the family but also if you knew my life you would know that my hubby works nights so maybe deep down inside i feel i like i should be awake.. well who knows but i have to kick this habit i always regret it the next day.. It is like an addiction and it something i have to stop! I can say one thing and that is at lest i'm not on that silly facebook... I was really bad on that for a long time.. i hate to say but i could be on that silly thing for 5hrs i know i'm crazy but i have found so many different friends on there that i haven't seen or talk to in forever and if you know me at all i love people!!! always has and always will lol so this is a way for me to stay in contact.
Well i can't believe that i have a blog now.. But i look at it s more of a journal then anything, I love to journal but i hate to write so this is much better so i apologize in advance if you find out to much about me but i'm here to clear my head and update all my wonderful family and friends. Ok well it is now 2:30am and i really need to get to sleep so i can get some sleep so that my wonderful hubby and i can go to the temple tomorrow and take family pics.. GOOD NIGHT!!!
