I AM OBSESSED!! Sebastian (hair products) just came out with Sebastian Volupt shampoo,conditioner & a spray root lift to make your hair big ,sexy & full. First of all I am a huge Redken fan,their color line, their products & everything else of there's. However after buying these sebastain products I have seen the light ha ha ha jk but it sure does work like magic as far as giving u extreme volume & I recommend it to all u girls who are sick of your flat hair & want some body & fullness. It has become my new best friend ha ha , I have tried all these products that say they volumize the hair & some of them do work but this one is AMAZING!!
I suggest it & love it. All my clients who I have recomended it to were not disapointed & wanted more. I just sold the shampoo,conditioner & the root pump to my client last night because when I washed her hair & we were done with her haircut she was shocked with how full it had made her hair. We are selling them at the school in packages where u get all 3 for 40.00 if I remember right. its around there but way good deal consdering how much they run for indiviually.
I know I can't live without it ,I am hooked & so try it and believe me you will love it. You can purchase those packages of all 3 products at any Taylor Andrews there is one in Layton,West Jordan, & Orem. Family & friends I would be more than happy to pick u up one if u cannot make it to Taylor Andrews & will bring them down this weekend,when Greg & I come & visit. This stuff is to die for & one of my new best friends :) I have some pics of my hair here on this post some its way big others its not but thats because Greg doesn't like way to big of Utah girl bump hair ha ha ha.Below is the link to the sebastian site that tells more about the products.
I am very excited to announce to my 9 blog followers that on May 7 we will be moved in to our new apartment , yes it seems weird going from living in this huge house of Gregs parents while their on their mission & don't get me wrong Elk Ridge is very beautiful. However I want my own home where I can paint ,decorate & it wont be as lonely when Gregs gone, being in this big house makes it very lonely. Living in this house we are so far away from society ha ha we have to travel 20 minutes just to go to walmart. So Greg found us an adorable apartment they are bran new apartments so they are very very nice & I can do a whole lot of decorating with it. It is located right by Ikea in Draper, actually Ikea is like our next door neighbors ha ha which Greg is very worried about with me going over there all the time but I think he is more worried that just over the bridge to the east side of the freeway is the southtown mall & tons of shops & things to do. But I think we are both just so happy to not have to drive all the way up here to elk ridge aka Payson it is just so far from greg's job & my school. Plus Greg will be working for the APX salt lake city office as a technician so we have to be close there. We have both always loved Draper ,our plan is to stay in this apartment for a year and than move up to northern Salt lake area & buy a townhouse & hopefully down the road we will be able to build our dream house. I am so excited for so many reasons & so is Greg but I think he is the most excited that there is a chipotle 5 miles away from our house He loves Chipoli I hope I spelt that right probably not. Yesterday I went to a boutique that my sisters were selling watches and neclaces there ,Greg said I coudl get some house decorations but dont go over board , well that was BAD IDEA for me to go that boutique had everything & anything I got 3 cute vinal sayings to put on our walls a plaque & other stuff. I seriously am just beaming with excitement right now this move is going to be good for us & I am sure after this move we will most likely welcome a new member aka baby into our family & start our family & reach those goals we have been working so hard for .
Greg's b-day was this last Friday april 2,2010. he doesn't like me making a big deal about his birthday but I am very into birthdays & like to make them big especially my hubby's. I surprised him with a trip to Park City at the end of this month. The day of his actual birthday I made him breakfast & had gotten him a new outfit. I also made a birthday cake which I am surprised turned out very well!!! & for dinner we went to outback steakhouse its one of our favorite places to eat. It was such a fun day I love Greg soooo much & he deserves so much, he is the kind of person that would drop everything to help somebody & genuily just a nice caring person. I have decided to post 24 of the million of reasons why I love him so much.

This is a pretty short post I just want to express how much love I have for my two boys they are my whole world & I am so thankful for them they bring so much joy into my life.
My favorite thing in life to remember is "u have to go through the hard times to appreciate the good in life" This is exactly how I am feeling & when I get down I think about this & now that things are starting to get better financially for me & Greg & he has a great job I think back on all we have been through financially because of my health issues. We truly appreciate all the blessings we are recieving . Would life be better if me & Greg both had been graduated before we got married & were already in our careers ya I guess so. But everything happens for a reason & the lord doesn't give us these struggles to fail in life, He gives them to us because he knows we can get through them otherwise he would not give them to us.
We read a scripture the other night that talked about this exact same thing & I have not been able to stop thinking about it. I just cried so much when we read that because it made me see things a whole lot different. I had been so negative thinking life would be so much better if these things didn't happen to us & I had better health but once I sat down & really thought about it, it really wouldn't because now we both know the importance of Challenges & trials in life & we both are thankful for them because we know true happiness & joy & appreciate it more. I am not saying people who have it easy don't appreciate true happiness I don't wish any unhappiness on anybody but I am just so thankful me & Greg are now being blessed & worked very hard for it. When I was growing up I always thought I was going to marry somebody already in there profession & life would be so perfect & wonderful all the time, than I met Greg & I can honestly say the guys I dated before him were older rich guys- that sounds bad I mean they weren't old but older ha ha. But I found true happiness & love with Greg he is the most hardworking caring person ever. He is so devoted & has high goals & I could never go through life with anybody but him. we are only 24 & 23 so we are both still young & have school to get through but I wouldn't have it any other way I will stick through thick & thin with my amazing husband just like he stayed by my side when I had to go to the emergency room 3 times in 2 months with no insurance it was very hard for both of us. It however humbled us so much & now we are so thankful for our blessings. But in life we just have to keep trying & trying and never let the bad get us down because in the end it will all be worth it!!!
There are 3 things that I absolutly love in life my husband/Jaxie, doing hair, & SHOES ok I lied thats 4 not 3 things ha ha!!! The first 2 things I notice about people are their hair & shoes. I Katie Ann Burke am admitting in this blog post that I am addicted to shoes.
I am sure many girls can agree that a new pair of shoes is one of the best things in life. Greg & I were laying in bed last night talking about our monthly bills and such & where the extra money will go if we have any left after bills. I decided to take the oppertunity & ask for a new pair of shoes.The first words out of his mouth were "you have got to be kidding me" he asked me how I could already want another pair after just getting 2 pairs in the last 2 weeks. I don't think it's weird at all but he couldn't stop laughing. yep LAUGHING I guess its better than yelling which is usually his reaction when I ask for shoes. I than explained that I am no different than any other girl and that loving shoes & wanting them is a natural thing. This is how are conversation went.
"I really NEED a new pair of shoes"-me
"No you don't you just got 2 pairs"-him
"Ya but they don't go with ALL my outifts, I need some to match other outifts & I need some I can wear to school that are comfortable."-me
"you have used the same excuse everytime you ask for a new pair of shoes & when I see the ones you buy their really high heels & I don't see how they are the least bit comfortable."-him
"heels are comfortable to me"-me
"the answer is NO you have tons & you don't need more right now"-him
"Ok than No new devices for your halo game & no more buying stuff at best buy"-me
" Ok you can get them,but not to expensive ok"-him
Ha ha that usually is the way it goes everytime I ask for them,I really should have more responsibility & manage our money better. But it is something that I can't control, when I see a pair I want I just have to have them & nothing else matters but those shoes. It really has become an addiction & I am trapped. I have a huge shoe fetish & I don't think that will ever change.But just on the fyi Greg is not an angel himself with money, he has the same problem with his best buy card,He is always at best buy & always wants something from there so I am not the only one who has a shopping problem ha ha ha.Alot of people see it as I am the irresponsible one in the marriage with money, NOT always Greg is just better at hiding it :)
I am going to take the time to show my appreciation for my wonderful husband & for the wonderful gift he has been given called the priesthood. He gave me a blessing last night because I have not been able to sleep lately due to nightmares & such ,each night I have fell asleep in his arms grasping onto him so tightly because I am so terrified of what I have been dreaming about lately. When he holds me in his arms in bed I feel so safe & protected. Finally after a couple days of having nightmares & bad feelings Greg offered me a blessing which is funny because when he offered it I was thinking on asking him earlier in the day but had forgotten. Usually I am home alone by myself a lot & we live on a mountain, so pretty far from grocery stores and such. I am usually fine home alone with Jax but I have just felt so uneasy lately & terrified to be home alone. Last Night after I went and spent time with my friends while Greg worked I called him just bawling because I feared going home,He told me to wait & he would meet me & come home with me. I felt so pathetic & silly but I am so happy he rushed to come home with me.Good news is He had finished with his installs for the day so he didn't have to stay out as late as he usually does.
As soon as we got home he gave me the blessing & I felt instant comfort & relief. My husband is so good to me & I am so thankful he has the power to give me blessings in my time of need or when I am sick. I truly have an amazing man. I am not going to say that things are always perfect & we DON'T fight because we do, thats what makes a relationship healthy. I know I am always sharing all the good about my husband & how good he treats me but that's because I believe in Focusing on the positive in our marriage & building each other up . When Greg & I got married we agreed that we would never publicly tare each other down or complain ,nor would we do it while we do it privately & fight. When we were dating we never had one fight ,WEIRD right? ha ha however when we got married we of course have our little arguments & disagreements but we love each other & will always be each others biggest fans.
I know I can trust him & he knows he can trust me. Sometimes people wonder how things can be "that good" in our marriage almost as if its to good to be true, But that is why I am the luckiest girl in the world because our marriage is wonderful, we laugh,play, & love. We accept each other for who we truly are & what we have been through ,we are each others BEST FRIEND. We fight but never let it go on for to long, we are both willing to put the time & effort into making our marriage work .Greg is the only good guy I have ever been with,growing up I went through so much with losers & put so much into relationships where I never got the same in return.I love Greg & I am just so thankful he is a worthy priesthood holder who treats me like a princess I have never had that & I thank the lord each day for such an amazing husband. He is my whole world & I am blessed to have him :)
Yet again my wonderful Husband never fails to amaze me. This years Valentine's day was so romantic. On Saturday I woke up & made Greg a huge breakfast,than he sent me to the spa to get a wax,pedicure,facial,massage,airbrushed tan, & since I was there all day I decided to get my hair done as well since I wouldn't make it home in time to do it myself. It was amazing being pampered. I felt so bad that Greg had to do installs while I was at the spa. Greg also got me a new pair of miss me jeans,he did so good at picking them out ,I didn't even Have to tell him what kind -he knew the style I wanted & remembered I wear a size 24 extra long. (or maybe he just checked one of my pairs I already have ha ha)
I decorated the house for him,got him a new shirt & of course got some new lingerie.I love that me & him think just alike & know by now what each other likes & don't like. His friend got his wife a diamond bracelet & Greg told me he is so glad I don't like diamond neclaces & bracelets & stuff cuz he thinks their ugly and a waste of money as do I. They are very cute on other girls I just have no desire for them. I would rather have something I can wear all the time.However he did get me a charm bracelet with little pics of the salt lake temple its so cute & I like that kindof jewelry cuz I can wear it with anything but I am not into diamond stuff.
To Finish off Saturday Night we went to the cheesecake factory, ice skating ( so romantic) & than to see the movie valentine's day we both have been wanting to see it for so long.It was the perfect day. Sunday we did all we could to celebrate the actuall valentines day ,we made brownies I made Greg dinner & than we danced to our song "me & you" by kenny chesney ( yes it sounds cheesy) ha ha but we are a very mushy couple. Than we watched our wedding montage. Sadly Greg Had to work Sunday night but we had so much fun before he left.
He got me way to much stuff. He really spoiled me this Valentine's day. I have the best husband in the whole wide world. he has such a big heart & so much love . I am so lucky to have him. He is my best friend. We laugh until we cry,we play,we support each other through thick & thin,& we would do anything for each other. Sure we fight all couples do , but I love the way greg knows how to calm me down & wipe away my tears.We Have been married for one year now & It has been the best year of my life. He is all I need & all I have ever wanted. He is the best man I have ever known.

Our unexpected miracle due Sep 14
Mila is our second baby! On January 16th 2014 we found out we were expecting another little miracle. With Londyn we tried for years to get pregnant & had to do fertility drugs but with Mila she truly is our unexpected miracle. I was still on birth control & we had not planned on becoming pregnant for another couple months but this last christmas Londyn asked santa for a baby sister & sure enough her wish came true. We couldn't be happier & excited to welcome our little Mila Kate into our family this September 14th! We have always known we would have tons of girls & we are so excited for Londyn to have a little sister to share all her fun clothes with. Mila is such a little blessing to our family & we have been on cloud nine since finding out she will be joining our family. We now have two little princesses to love & cherish & we thank the lord everyday for that.
