In May of last year I was laid off due to the economy. I had been working as a project manager for General Contractor that specialized in government work. The U.S President had cut the budget and no federal funding was being released, so my boss decided to lay everyone off. After the frustration of being laid off I took a closer look at my position and the company I had worked for and decided I didn’t want to return to work there.
So I later found a part-time position as an Office Manager for a Masonry contractor. The position was much lower key than I had been used to in the past. While working for them I had grown close with many people who worked there, however a new full time position had presented itself last week. Another local General Contractor contacted me about a full time assistant PM Job with great pay full benefits, 401K and retirement. It was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. So I am very excited to start my new job. They wanted me to start right away so I’m going to be jugging both of them for a short while.
In the mean time I am interviewing for my replacement as office manager and I must say interviewing is a unique experience. It never changes you really get some characters. One girl sent in a picture of herself in a bikini top with boobs falling out with her resume? Really? Who does that? But it’s been a fun change.
Also Lets get real... I have been slacking on my gym time for the past couple of weeks. I had twisted my ankle pretty bad and every time it starts to feel better it ends up worse. I’m hoping to continue to take it easy so that I will be able to return to the gym soon! I only have 24 days until wedding dress shopping!!
I'm also a bit nervous about my new job and slipping into old habits with Food and Exercise. However since my eyes are wide open and I now know my fears as well as what I can do I think I will be fine.

I'm back..
Let me start out by saying grammar has never been my thing. So I’m sorry there will be punctuation errors, spelling errors and much more…
Over the last year there have been a ton of changes in my life...
Work… I was laid off due to a lack of government funding for General Construction. It was lame and at bad timing however, it gave me a new perspective on many things such as my old boss. I had learned a lot and it was time for me to move on. I later found another position as an Office Manager for a Masonry Contractor. I like it for the most part. I work with a nice family and some great guys. I just wish we were busier, as I’m sure everyone in the construction field does.
Here’s the story if you didn’t already know.
On Saturday June 11th, we had begun our one year anniversary like any other Saturday. We woke up and went to breakfast. After breakfast, Ramone had suggested that we adventure out to Sequim to a wild game farm to feed the animals up close and personal. I was completely excited because of my love of animals.
After we made our way through the farm, Ramone had suggested that we visit Dungeness Spit. Dungeness Spit is a beautiful hidden beach in Sequim. You park at the top of the large cliff and hike down to this beautiful beach. The full hike takes 8-12 hours. Since we had many other things planned for the day we only hiked down to the beginning of the beach and soon returned to the car.
Ramone then suggested that we drive to Mt. Walker. The mountain is known for a beautiful view of the Seattle Skyline on one side and a view of the Cascade Mountains on the other. It was a little foggy and the view was not good as we had hoped for that day, but the drive was fun and we still really enjoyed it.
After we had made it back down the mountain, we had decided to head to Kingston to take the Edmond's Ferry. Apon returning back on the mainland we had decided to grab some dinner in Seattle then adventure out to Alki Beach. Since Ramone had never been to Alki it was fun to drive around as the sun was beginning to set we had found a private beach where we had sat down to watch the sunset. I then had made small talk about the seaweed on the beach and Ramone had then got up to look at the seaweed and then came walking back to me and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the most romantic day, so after crying like a baby and hugging Ramone, he had reminded me that I had not answered the question.. So of course the answer was YES!!
We are currently planning our wedding. We have decided to get married May 17, 2013 in Honolulu Hawaii. This is where we took our first vacation together. So far we have our venue and photographer booked and we get more excited by the day. My mom and sister are coming up next month to go wedding dress shopping!
Unlike many brides I am very excited to go wedding shopping for one reason in particular, dress sizes. Since September 28th 2011 I had began a challenge to get healthy once and for all. I had not planned to loose a ton of weight and hadn’t even began thinking about my wedding dress nor wedding dress shopping and the terrors of not having many options because of my size. I had however thought of one thing... the wedding pictures. My fiancé had made a comment to me about how he could never post any pictures of our life on Facebook unless I had approved them. I then began to think about that, and he was right. I would always go over any pictures anyone had and delete the ones I didn’t like or make them crop out my body. I never noticed how much it affected other people. I then began to think about our upcoming wedding, and how many people would be taking pictures and how they will be in our family’s homes for years. I couldn’t go around and "approve" everyone’s pictures and better yet its not like everyone that was there wouldn’t know what I really looked like on that day.
I hate even putting this picture up because its a reminder of how bad I let myself get. This was me at my heaviest on 9/28/2011.
So I decided to make a change. I got completely naked and stepped on the scale and got real with the number I saw. Over the years I had let my weight just keep creeping up and never really thought much about it, except for the annual doctor’s appointment. I would leave the appointment making excuses to myself and then I would go stuff my face to feel better. But this time I took that number and got serious.
I made change slowly; the first to go was energy drinks and sweets. You would be so surprised how bad the headaches get from the withdrawals of lack of energy drinks after drinking at least one a day for the last couple years.
Within a month I began to notice a little weight coming off. Which was great, I began to feel proud of myself and I began to feel better over all. After that month I began to incorporate foods I had never liked but I made myself eat them because I knew they were good for me and because I had read a quote that had stuck with me, "To weigh what you’ve always weighed eat what you’ve always eaten." After a couple of weeks I began to love a lot of these foods. Some of these include Green Tea, Cucumbers, Avocado, and Oatmeal. I also changed my eating schedule. Prior to my quest for better health I had typically eaten lunch, energy drinks, large dinner and wine. I would also eat sweets often. I would hide how much I ate them so that others wouldn’t know. But after a few months my eating schedule had changed. For breakfast I typically eat Oatmeal, Fruit and a large glass of water. At 10am I eat a small snack. Usually this consists of a piece of fruit, or a few nuts (10 Almonds – 12 Pistachios etc.) At 1pm I eat a salad (more info below.) Three pm I eat a small snack either fruit, veggies, nuts or half sandwich (double fiber sandwich thins) etc. For dinner I typically have salad, veggies, sometimes soup or sandwich. Then at about 8pm I have green tea and 1 small piece of Dark Chocolate. I never get bored I am constantly reading new recipes and things to try but my diet is very simple and even more simply put is that its not a diet but a lifestyle. I don’t feel deprived (the small piece of chocolate helps with that) and I eat well and I’m never hungry. I keep my calories around 1200-1400 a day. The salads I mentioned above are home made, every Sunday I make a weeks worth in small Tupperware containers so that all I have to do is add dressing and my lunch is complete. This helps me stay on track and helps when I am super hungry and normally would grab something unhealthy. I also learned that salad dressing can have more calories than the salad itself. So I use oil vigingrette and red wine vinigar.
After losing 35lbs with the eating lifestyle change I decided it was time to kick it up once again. So I joined a gym. I’m not going to lie I had to work hard. I began going to the gym 7 days a week. This meant going at 5:30 am on weekdays and at 7 am on weekends. I would even go twice a day in some cases (working different body parts of course, too much in one area can do more harm than good.)
Last month was my birthday (March 15) and I was able to say with all of my lifestyle changes I had hit my 50lb weight loss. I was so proud of myself. Not only was I able to donate have of the clothes in my closet, I was able to fit clothes I hadn’t been able to in 6 years. Now I am setting new goals such as 10 more lbs before dress shopping and to be at my goal (-85lbs) by the end of August. So my blog will be more about eating healthy what I’m doing to make changes and how my progress continues.
Here are my before and during pictures at -50lbs

Gary Our Friend
My Mom has had this best friend Gary for almost as long as I can remember. My mom and Gary had such a special friendship and where always so close. When my mom moved to California they grew a little a part. A few years later I had ran into Gary one day after I moved back to Washington. We both happened to just be out and about and ended up grabbing a cup of coffee and catching up. Gary and I became very good friends we would meet about once a week for coffee or dinner and just talk. It was nice to have a little older perspective on life. I also liked how we could just talk about anything and we knew neither one of us would judge. We could bounce ideas off each other, we could tell stories, or we could just talk about how much we missed my mom. We even became such good friends that Gary joined the group of us girls on our Vegas trip for my 21st Birthday! Gary had always been that person that was just there, and would be any way you needed him. It didn’t matter if it was to be someone to talk to when I got my heart crushed again, to help me move again, or even to help me get my new start by buying my first work outfit when I was to broke to afford it. Gary has always been this stand up guy and father like figure.
Well last year at about this time we had found out that Gary had been diagnosed with the Big C {Cancer}. It was the Cancer that attacked your brain. Gary went in and began treatment. My mom came up for a visit from California not too long after and we had all went to dinner. Gary was a little slow but he was up and moving, talking and joking we thought he had won the fight.
The last week of June, Gary went to another doctor’s appointment after feeling a bit weak. At the doctor they did an MRI. The results where bad. {Real Bad} The doctor only gave Gary 6 months to live and said the cancer had came back so strong that there was nothing he could do.
Its now two months later... I went and saw Gary last night. He is laying in a hospital bed in his house and they say he only has a week to live. He can’t breath on his own, they have to keep removing things from his throat, he can’t open his eyes and you can see every bone in his body. This broke my heart! I don’t understand how in a year you can go from being so healthy and working out everyday and eating right and never drinking to laying on a hospital bed with just days to live. This is a guy that climbed Mount Everest, this is a guy who did marathons, and this is one of the most amazing beings I have ever known. This is just a reminder to tell people how much you love them and spend every minute you have with the ones you love. I am going to truly miss Gary and I’m always going to have the spot in my heart for him.

Home {Again}
So Ramone and I have decided it was time to take our relationship to the next step. After spending so much time, money and energy driving back and forth all of the time we have decided to move in together! It’s always a bit scary moving in with someone but Ramone has been so good about it. I actually really feel at ease. We even took a trip to Home Depot last weekend and looked at paint and fixtures for the house. It was the best feeling the feeling of making the house {Our} home!
My lease is up September 30th so I had decided I would move in with Ramone in Tacoma at that time. This was the best choice since he owns his house and won’t be moving anytime soon.
So I began applying for jobs about four weeks ago. During this time I had also had an issue with my new boss at work and during one of our fights I had let my mouth get the best of me! I blurted out that I would be quitting October 1st. After this fight I felt so sick to my stomach, I have NEVER left a job without having a new one lined up. Then the thought was in my head that what if he decides to fire me since he knows I’m leaving anyway. So I {Really} began to seek a new position!
After finally receiving phone calls about a couple different positions last week, I had three interviews set up! Talk about a long day… It’s hard to interview all day and continue to make yourself sound good! The first interview was the job I thought I had wanted the most. It was a subcontractor on the job that I am currently working on now. I went to the interview really excited and came out a little disappointed. They couldn’t offer me full time until December so I was a little bummed. So I continued onto interview number 2 only to find out I was {over} qualified they were looking for a receptionist that they could pay $10 an hour. Not that I’m trying to be stuck up but its hard to make one amount of money and then have someone want to cut that in half. So I left that interviewed a little bummed as well. {I even thought should I even go to this last interview?} But I knew I could miss out on something great.
So I went to the last interview… I walked to this really cool building in downtown Tacoma {the kind of building I always wanted to work in, gorgeous on the inside and you take an elevator up to an office with an amazing view!} So I got a bit more hopeful. I walk in and instantly hit it off with the owner. She has so smart, knowledgeable and just over all a good personality fit with myself. I left the interview so excited and just felt so good about it! I couldn’t wait for Wednesday {the day she said she would get back to me.}
So it’s now Friday… And no call. I must say I was really starting to get bummed. Its like going on a date that you think went really well only to find out they just weren’t that into you. Well I was wrong she was just that into me! I got the call this morning and she offered me the position. I am so excited! I think this could really be good for me. And while I did love my old job before I constantly think of that quote everyone knows… {You have to take big risks to get big rewards!} So I am taking this risk head on. I’m leaving the comfort of my job now, for a relatively new company that could expand into many different things and I am along for the ride.
I am so incredibly lucky to have found something so quickly and in the field I wanted to be in. There are so many people who have been searching and searching who still haven’t found a thing. I am so fortunate and I just thank god. Its amazing how things work themselves out when you just throw up your hands and let him do what he does best. I am also so lucky to have such an amazing and supportive boyfriend who is so willing to make anything work as long as I am happy.

R.I.P - Single Girl in the City..
So this blog was titled Single Girl in the City. Since this girl is no longer single, I thought it was time for a change.. So now its This is the Story of a girl... I think this is fitting since this is about me, my life, all the people and events in it!
A taste of an Amazing weekend!!
This weekend was one of the best weekends of my life...
Our weekends begin on Thursdays now… This is because Ramone works four tens and Thursday is his first day off so he comes up to see me and stay the night every week. So this week he made it up right after I got off work so we went and ran errands than we met up with Caprice and Tucker at the dog park. Bentley and Tucker loved it they ran around and wore each other out so it also made Caprice and I very happy! After the dog park we then came back to my place where Chris and Ash then showed up so all five of us just drank, hung out and watched movies… It was so good to have the best of both worlds. I had my boyfriend and my friends in one spot, I loved it.
So Friday, I headed to work and Ramone headed home. Then after work I drove to Tacoma (this has been a typical Friday routine for a while now.) After I got there Ramone and I had dinner and then a quite night on the couch watching movies. It was the perfect ending to a long week!
Saturday Morning we woke up and Ramone made breakfast (I know I’m spoiled...and I love it!) then we took our time and adventured out. We went on a drive so I could sight see more of Tacoma and it was such an amazing day for it! It was sunny and beautiful so we had the truck windows down and the music up!While sight-seeing we headed to the beach where we got to see a baby otter, starfish, and huge jelly fish! It was so fun. We then got a call from his parents and met them at Hemp Fest. It was fun to walk around and see all the little booths and what people had for sale. After that we all decided to go to the Taste of Tacoma. It was very fun did some more walking, shopping and listening to live music. I love that kind of thing!
After we were all tired and sweaty we decided to go back to Ramone’s where we made some lunch/dinner. We also let their dog Max and My pup Bentley play. Both dogs loved it! Bentley loves Ramone around because he has so many new doggy friends to play with! After we ate and the pups played we all decided to go to the Drive-In. So his parents took their Jeep and we took Ramone’s Truck. We went to the Auburn Drive-In, none of us had been to before it was so fun! We watched Grown-Ups and then we watched a couple minutes of another movie before driving home!
Sunday Ramone went to work so I adventured out in Tacoma by myself and went shopping. After shopping I came home and made Brownies and got dinner started. We ate dinner, and I must say its one of my favorite things about dating Ramone. We both enjoy cooking and share all the duties and it always feels so good just to have some music on and eat and catch-up on each others day. After dinner we cleaned up and then went to his grandma’s house. While at his grandmas I met his grandma, both of his aunts and his uncle and all of their dogs. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! I really enjoyed it! After that we came home and relaxed for a few hours before I headed home so start the new work week! The drive home is always the worst for me. I really love Ramone and we have so much fun doing even the simplest tasks he just enriches every part of life. I have such a hard time leaving! But we will see what the future holds…
Here are a few Pictures from the weekend...

A little bit of this and a little bit of that...
So I know its been a super long time... But I've been super busy! So here's a quick update.
~ Work: It’s been good we still are losing people like crazy. I have been with Apollo a year and a half now and I'm one of the only ones still on the job from when I began. Luckily for me it job security. Yesterday I drove all the way to Kennewick to our main office for some training and to meet everyone. Over all it was a good trip but way to long since I drove there and back in one day (and its 4 hours each way!)
~ Bentley: Healthy and Happy and just as crazy as always!
~ California: I just got back from spending time with my mom and Morgan in California for Memorial Day. It was a blast and my mom’s new house is amazing! It really made me miss them and I can’t wait to see them again soon! (Mom is coming up in August!!)
~ Me... In Love. I have met this incredible guy and hoping everything continues to go as well as it has! This last weekend was the best! He lives in Tacoma (45 mins away) so he drove up on Friday after I got off work... We went and had dinner at Rory’s in Edmonds on the water front (for once it was beautiful here in Washington) and then we went to Mukilteo Beach! After the beach we went for a drive then we met up with Ashley and Chris at Chris' place for a bit before heading bowling. I had not been bowling in forever and it was such a blast!! After bowling was over we all went to Denny's for some food and home for the night!
Saturday, B and I drove down to Ramone’s house in Tacoma where he was having friends and family over for a BBQ. I met everyone and loved them! We then watched the UFC Fights before everyone went home.
We ended the incredible weekend by home made tacos on Sunday while watching the sunset on Ramone’s Deck and it couldn’t have been any more perfect! This could be something really amazing, keep your fingers crossed! (Sorry for all the spelling errors, I had five mintues to fill everyone in :)
~ Work: It’s been good we still are losing people like crazy. I have been with Apollo a year and a half now and I'm one of the only ones still on the job from when I began. Luckily for me it job security. Yesterday I drove all the way to Kennewick to our main office for some training and to meet everyone. Over all it was a good trip but way to long since I drove there and back in one day (and its 4 hours each way!)
~ Bentley: Healthy and Happy and just as crazy as always!
~ California: I just got back from spending time with my mom and Morgan in California for Memorial Day. It was a blast and my mom’s new house is amazing! It really made me miss them and I can’t wait to see them again soon! (Mom is coming up in August!!)
~ Me... In Love. I have met this incredible guy and hoping everything continues to go as well as it has! This last weekend was the best! He lives in Tacoma (45 mins away) so he drove up on Friday after I got off work...
