My Nephew "The Beanie Baby"

Little Wyatt!

We love this little guy! He just has us all wrapped around his little finger. He has been a wonderful addition to our family, I can't believe how fast he has grown.

Just Me

It has been quite an adventure these last few months. I don't really think anyone besides my sister reads what I put on here, but you never know and it is nice to let my feelings out. My last post once read "I'm a Lucky Woman", the post may no longer exist but that hasn't changed. I spoke of re-uniting with someone who made me happy. We have gone our separate ways, and I don't know if he will ever want to re-unite our friendship again. Even if he doesn't, I gave him a piece of my heart, and he will always have it. I will always love and care even when it hurts to do so. It has been over a month since the split, and not a day goes by do I wake up wishing it were Valentines Day. He has bought a house now, and I wish him all the best. I hope he finds happiness and someone who could love him better then I could. I have no regrets, I miss my friend and I miss his family especially his sister who loved me from the start. Part of me is convinced that I let him down, however I trust the Lord and I know in my heart that if he wanted us to remain together it would have worked. The Lord never gave up on me, and I continue to feel his love everyday. I also know that like every caring father he wants nothing more than for his daughter to be happy. My faith, testimony, and having the love of a great family, and the best of friends makes me the Luckiest Woman ever. As for finding love, my heart is still open, and giving up was never an attribute I really developed. I'm not angry, or bitter and I can honestly say I never was. When the depression sets in, I have angels who come to my rescue. I'm grateful for my family, my close friends, and my amazing roommates here at school. I know I am ok, and that I am loved.

I know I'm Blessed

Sorry it has taken forever to add an update. Mainly I just work and in my spare time try to keep up on watch band orders. I have a few more to do for Christmas orders. I'm also preparing for winter semester at BYU-I and moving back to Rexburg. I'm looking forward to being so close to my friends, and dreading the home work already.
I just wanted all readers to know that I feel very blessed. These last couple of months have been amazing. To start off with, I had the opportunity to go to the Rexburg Temple on November 14th (one day before my 26th birthday) to take out my personal endowments. That was an amazing experience. I had my wonderful grandma to be my escort, and many friends showed up to witness the most important day of my life up until now at least. My family surrounded me with a lot of love and support. I really appreciate them for making my birthday the best yet. I feel very blessed and I look forward to going to the Rexburg Temple often just because it is only a mile from my apartment, and I have the most amazing friends who are willing to go whenever I want. My faith keeps me going strong, and I can honestly say I'm the happiest I have ever been in my whole life.
I'm also pleased to announce the birth of my nephew Wyatt William Bielby. He was born on the 18th of November. He is the most hansom little guy in the world. I love his deep grey eyes, and his blond hair. I love being an aunt! I look forward to watching him grow and having my family expand. Jake and Chelsey have taken up their role as parents with ease. My sister is an amazing woman, and I look up to her in so many ways. Jake is the most amazing little brother, and I love how he has taken care of Chelsey and the rest of the family. Mom and Dad are thrilled to be grandparents. Mom can't get enough of Wyatt. On the days she doesn't see him she goes through withdrawals. That little baby has the whole family wrapped around his little finger. I can't wait Christmas! It will be Wyatt's first and I love seeing my family together. Times are Great, and I can't think of a way to make it better.

Ok, My Name is Josie Ellis and I'm a Bead-Aholic!

I'm selling watch bands faster than I can make them. I make a lot of trips to the store. On the plus side I've been able to spend time with my mom, sister, and grandmother who support this addiction. They buy me beads so I can create more watch bands for them, in my opinion that is just like giving an a drug addict a pound of cocaine. I'm using the majority of the money to pay for more beads, cord, hooks, and faces. I love what I have come up with so far, and I sell the bands faster than I can make them. The good news is I'm having fun, and I love making people smile!

Ok, I said I wouldn't but I am!

In my last post I said I was addicted to making watch bands, but I also said I didn't plan on selling. That didn't last long! With in 24 hoursI had orders for 3 complete sets. I sold 3 bands in the last 48 hours. 2 Girls are picking up there orders next week. I had one lady give me her order today. Many ladies and guys at work are planing on me making some for Christmas/Birthday gifts. It is nice feeling to get paid for my creativity. I praise the individual who made up this idea for watch bands. I will try to post pictures soon.

Addicted to making watch bands!

This is me officially admitting my addiction to making those cute beaded watch bands, which are America's latest fashion statement. I only started just so I would know how to do it in case my mom, sister, or grandma's bands broke. It has been less than 48 hours and I have made 4 really cute bands. I'm so proud of my self. I didn't think I'd get hooked, but it happened. I think in the end it will be a good thing. I don't plan on selling them, but you never know. I didn't mean to gloat, but my sister would give me an ear full if I didn't make posts more often. It would be hard for her to beat me up now, being over 7 months pregnant. It would be fun to watch though! Sis I love you!

Here I am, I promise I'm still alive!

So the semester of school ended! I moved back home with my parents so I can save money for next year. I do miss my room mates, and Rexburg friends a lot. It is nice being home for a while. Mom and Dad's car show went very well. Mom got herself a new puppy which we named Oscar. He is cuter than heck, but a pain in the rear when he wants to be. It is kind of like having a toddler around. This is great practice for when Chelsey's baby hits the "terrible two's". Chelsey is doing great, and looking so cute. She is rocking the "baby belly"! I can't wait to meet my nephew Wyatt. I got to feel him kick my hand the other night, and that was AMAZING!
I'm currently working as much as humanly possible at Idaho Pacific. They offered me another part time position in addition to the one I already work. I get be a Parts Chaser, and drive around the city of Idaho Falls picking up parts (half I can't name or tell you what they do!) I enjoy it, and I can still run the weigh station at night. The only draw back is that my perfect driving record was ruined when I got caught speeding in a school zone. That little adventure made everyone in the office laugh their heads off.
