Sunday's are Best
Well here it is another Sunday! I love this day, Jason is off of work 90% of the time on Sunday and we usually get the house cleaner, (it's never clean these days), do some other fun things like watching a movie grocery shopping and menial tasks that we all hate to do! Like I said I am designing vintage style aprons, while doing this my sketching skills need let's call it work! So here I am at 6:30 am on this glorious day while Jas and Maddey snore the morning away, sketching some ideas always changing and erasing thinking I can do better. Well I got bored and decided to write a little note! I have a birthday coming up in a mere 2 months or so. I am only turning 34 but I think it is worse than being 30. Down with a back injury for just shy of 2 years and now feeling almost human I wonder, what the hell do I want to do? Do I want to find some meaningless job or really make a go for it witht the catering, or something different? We are surviving just fine with just Jason's paycheck but my God another paycheck would be nice! But I love to cook! But what if I fail. All the bad thoughts of my Mother and others come rushing back into my head at a very ferocious speed. What if???? Am I a bad person? Do I not deserve success? Everyone I see that is at the level of success I yearn for is a workaholic, I cannot leave Maddey for long hours of the day and expect someone else to be there for the not so important things. Jason travels alot in spring and summer so I could not work long hours. Maddey already misses her Dad for those times and not to mention the fact that we do love to travel to see him on the weekends while he is gone. Is there a part-time job that would let me work during school hours and let me off on the weekends and maybe a Friday or Monday here or there if we need a long wekend with Jason. Easier asked then answered! I suddenly feel the need to show Maddey that I am a Mom who loves her and also a women that needs something outside of the house and still has the need to be successful and praised for more than wow Mom you really can whoop butt on a load of Laundry! Okay I am rambling! Well if anyone has all the answers, please pass them on at least to me! I promise I will not share unless you let me! Bye for now!!!!

The Title
The title of our blog "Life not so simple", really has nothing to do with our day-to-day life. We are a happy blended family. We are a household of 3 last names and lots of fun. For those of you that know us skip the next part!
Jason - Boilermakers Union - love of Stephanie's life, Favorite Daddy of Madelyne and just awesome person. He grew up in Davis County, Utah. He loves Monster Trucks and R/C Cars. He really loves loud obnoxious music that drives Stephanie nuts. He is an accomplished drummer although not in a band right now becasue of all the traveling with work. Jason also has a weird but unique fetish with his bunny rabbits! Popey, Sophie, Cinnabun, Mr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde, Mr. Bennington, Bugsy, Merlin and Fernando. That's right folks count them 9 Rabbits.
Stephanie - Caterer, Vintage Apron Designer/Maker - Maddey's favorite Mom (okay her only Mom, I'll take them where I can get them). I grew up in Southern CA, Orange County to be exact. I love anything vintage! Doris Day, and Johnny Cash are 2 singers the world should all know and love! I like country music too (SHHHHH, don't tell my sister, she hates it!) . I stay at home and try to have time to sew, clean the house and cater whenever asked.
Madelyne - Student - 8 - favorite girl named Madelyne Jane to everyone! Born in SLC, UT. She loves her puppy, Lucy, her guinea pig named Sugar and all of her Bunnies (Dad takes care of the rabbits but Maddey is the reason we started! We could of just started with a dog and not of even started with the rabbits, boy Jas messed up!) She loves the Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montanna, Miley Cyrus and The Cheetah Girls. Maddey is a dare devil trying to give her Mom a heart attack! She loves to climb every tree, and skatebard and just Skate. She is in Soccer and really wants to do dance, ballet she thinks. She goes to a preporatory academy in Davis County, UT right now. She is learning Spanish a requirement at the school. She gets high grades and is adored by her friends.
The Fam Damily - Layton, UT - Our family was established January of 2003. We love each other and Jason and I are looking forward to actually tying the knot in the next year or two. My sister Kim will be the Matron of Honor and Jason's best friend Kip will be the Best Man and probably also do the honor of marrying us! We are very different but can't imagine being anywhere without each other. We are looking to hopefully move out of state this summer, we don't know where yet but want to leave Utah Please!!!!
Daily life so far this year 2009!
We both voted for Barack Obama so we are very happy and look forward to the changes that will be happening. My Grandma would not have understood why we voted for him (she is so old school), but I like to think of him as a person that will change our country for the better. When Obama speaks I get goosebumps, he has a passion for change and I love that and want to embrace it and especially hope to become a better person because of his leadership!
Look weekly or maybe even daily for updates!
