I'm getting HITCHED :)

HAPPY NEWS :)

James and I have decided to get married :) James wants to get married in June because he loves that month of the summer, so we are shooting for June 6th. We want to get married on the beach in Panama City Beach where James grew up, so we can’t say for sure on a date just yet because we have to get some plans made with a wedding company down there to see what dates they have available – not sure how booked up they are going to be.

We are very EXCITED :)

Aunt Norma's House gets hit by a truck!

High-speed chase ends in Destin house Comments 0 Recommend 0 February 17, 2009 - 11:40 AM Jenni Rich Florida Freedom Newspapers DESTIN - Waking up early on a Monday morning is not usually a treat - especially when it's because there is a red Ford pickup truck parked in the guest room of your home. "It sounded like a thud and the dogs started barking," homeowner Norma Calhoun said. It was a quiet morning in the cul-de-sac of Seaview Circle as the Calhoun household was sound asleep, and next-door neighbor Sara Harris was rising around 4 a.m. to get ready to head off to her nursing job. "She heard a car coming at high speed," husband Gary Harris said. It was a 2001 Ford that led deputies on a high speed chase from Fort Walton Beach. The truck was traveling south on Eglin Parkway when police clocked the vehicle going 45 mph in a 30 mph zone. The officer pulled in behind the truck with lights on and called in a traffic stop, but the driver had other plans. The truck did not stop and the report said that the driver proceeded onto eastbound U.S. 98, accelerating at speeds up to 80 mph, swerving all over the road as he crossed Okaloosa Island. The report said the driver almost ran the truck off the roadway near the sea wall. Fort Walton Beach police in pursuit were joined by Okaloosa County Sheriff's deputies as the truck crossed the Marler Bridge into Destin. The driver sped up Marler Street and tried to lose the units in the back streets of Destin until he made the mistake of turning onto Seaview, a street that ends in a cul-de-sac. The truck made tracks across the Calhouns' lawn and crashed into the front guest room of their home, just missing their porch. "My grandson just moved out, thank God," Norma said. "He would have been there." After the impact, the driver and a passenger fled on foot. The driver escaped into the dark, but the passenger was apprehended. The passenger said that the driver, a young male approximately 25-years-old, was someone he just met. The owner of the truck is a Niceville woman that was called from the scene. Gary said that he was standing nearby as the officer spoke with the woman and she told the officer that the truck was primarily driven by her son, but that he loans it out to a lot of people. After the truck was pulled from the home, the Calhouns were left with a gaping hole through the brick siding and sheet rock. The impact knocked the big double window off its mount and into the home. The shrubbery lining the front of the home kept the damage from being worse than it was. An evergreen "that's been there forever" kept the truck from penetrating the brick home even more. "It was almost on the bed," Calhoun said. Ironically, the Calhouns were set to have a security system with surveillance installed next week. "We've been in this house 30 years and been through every hurricane, and this is the worst damage," Norma said, adding that they have never had more than $1,000 worth of damage happen to the home at once. The truck lifted the rafters of the home, causing more damage to the foundation than meets the eye. "You don't wake up every morning with a truck in your house," Norma said.

Arbonne 3 Day Anti-aging Face care Kit Available

My sponsor has loaned be her 3 day trial kit for the Anti-aging face care line - she loaned it to me last week and will be out of town next week so I get to keep it one more week!
I finally got to try these products out last night and this morning and they ARE awesome!!! You use them for 3 days and can see a difference after just those 3 days of usage! I saw a difference when I got up this morning just after one application! The fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes were gone! I am definitely going to have to get me some of that eye cream :) My favorite product was the first one I used last nite, the exfoliating facial scrub - of course I am a scrub freak anyway so it is only fitting that it was my fave. It smells so good too - citrus-y.
Anyhoo, since I get to hang on to the kit a little longer just let me know if you want to try the products out for 3 days and see what they do for your skin.

My New Venture :)

A new venture for a new year :) I just wanted to share that I have started a new home-based business with Arbonne. I signed up as a consultant just to get the consultant’s 35% discount since there are no quotas to meet and it only cost me $34 ($29 for materials and $5 for shipping). I got myself signed up in time to order some Christmas gifts and decided to go ahead and sell the products after the response the Christmas gifts got :)

If you would like to be added to my Arbonne mailing list please send an e-mail to ArbonneLadySandy@gmail.com. This is the e-mail address that I will be using for my new Arbonne business :) And be sure to send me your mailing address if you’d like to receive anything that I mail out. I just wanted to let you know and give you the opportunity to get added to my mailing list if you wanted to.

The Water Relief Treatment Serum visually tones skin and diminishes the puffy look and feel of water retention.

Right now, when you purchase a wholesale account, you pay $29 for the account, get 35% off for a year and an absolutely free product of your choice with a $100 purchase...also, you don't have to sell a thing, you get the discount strictly for your personal use. This was suppose to end last month but was extended another month.

Starting the 1st of February, if you want to purchase a wholesale account without having to sell, it will cost you $29. With this account you will receive a 20% discount for a year ($15 yearly renewal) and an absolutely free product of your choice with your first $150 purchase (note the difference in discount and amount to get free gift vs. what is offered through the end of this month). If you want to get a wholesale account & be a consultant, it'll cost you $109, and you will receive 35% discount and startup materials.

SPECIAL MONTHLY INCENTIVE:
When you refer a friend/family to me this month and that friend/family signs up for the wholesale account and makes a $150 purchase, you will receive any item of your choice from the $29 Products Sale (mentioned above) for FREE!! This is for each person you refer, so if you refer 4 clients that each get a wholesale account with a $150 purchase, you'll get 4 items for FREE! Let them know when they get an account, they'll get 35% off and a free product with $100+ purchase. If you are reading this and are not already a client, I will give you the $29 Product when you get a wholesale account and make a $150 purchase.
If hosting a party this month, you can forfeit normal hostess rewards in exchange for this deal. If you have 3 guests buying more than $150 and get the wholesale account, you can choose 3 items from the list for free as the hostess rewards.
