Stella & Dot with Kelsey

Hi friends!
Exciting news, I just signed up to be a stylist with Stella & Dot!  

Ever heard of it?  It is a GORGEOUS line of jewelry and accessories that you can purchase through in-home trunk shows or online!

I am so thankful for the opportunity to work for such a fun company, doing something I love, while also working a full time job and attending graduate school!
I've signed up to make a little extra money to prepare for all those interviews my husband will be going on this fall all across America.  Medical school is EXPENSIVE.

Please “like” my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/STELLAandDOTwithKELSEY ) to stay up to date on all the new products and promotions, including a line of handbags that will be debuting in April! 

Let me know if you are interested in hosting a trunk show, in home or online, to earn free jewelry and discounts.  You can host a trunk show online even if you live a thousand miles away from me (and even if we've never met! ha!)

or shop the entire collection online 24/7 at www.stelladot.com/kelseycoghill

 

 Wish me luck!

Almost there!

Hi! Exciting update!
Lee and I got our interview date for his Green Card!!!
You know how on the movie The Proposal they have to go through an interview to prove they’re actually married.
That’s what we have to do in just a couple weeks.  We also need to take pictures and any other evidence we think will support our case for the validity of our marriage. 
Lee said – can’t we just print off our “see friendship” on Facebook? Haha!

We’re really not worried, obviously we’re actually married.  I have about a billion kissing pictures to prove I love the man.
It is a little intimidating to go to the immigration office though.  The boarder patrol always give me creepy vibes.

If all goes well we should be approved and get his Green Card within a few weeks following the interview and Lee will be a permanent resident and legally be allowed to live and work in the US for 10 years!
Which the biggest advantage we will have is he will no longer need to be sponsored for an immigrant VISA by a hospital.  So he will not be restricted in who will take him for residency
Praise Jesus!

Anyone else ever dealt with immigration?? 

Happiness!

I started doing a "Happiness Challenge" recently!  Feel free to join in :) 

Today is a music kind of day.

1. Bruno Mars!  Am I such a teenager or what?  I LOVE the song When I Was Your Man... listening to it on repeat today. It's funny because it in no way relates to my life, lol, but I love it. 

2. Ben Rector - Christian and love songs. perfect!
Lee learned a few of his songs and played them for me. even better.
This song - Forever Like That, hasn't been released, so the video isn't the best, it's from a live show, but I love love love love this song. so sweet.

3. true love alert.
guess what that Lee did now?? LEARNED 1,000 YEARS FROM THE TWILIGHT MOVIES!
he started playing it for me and I almost died.

Happiness Challenge

Several months ago our preacher spoke about this study that showed people who wrote down 3 things they were thankful for each night were happier and less depressed.
Sounds easy enough, right?   Read all about it here!
Showing gratitude enhances how we feel and increases our overall satisfaction with life.  But we often focus on the bad and completely forget when good things happen to us.  We should be making a point to remember all the little good things that happen to us during the day.
There is even a website that will email you every single night and ask you for your responses and then store them privately!
I think we could all benefit from getting a little happier right?! 
I'm going to post them here.  Maybe not every single day, because I plan on actually writing them down. with a pen and paper -what!  But some days.  here goes.


1.  Today I went over to my friend Kensi's house to drop some stuff off and got to sit and talk for about an hour and hold her precious little 4 month boy.  It's nice to get to talk/vent to other med-school wives who relate to our situation!

2.  This morning I woke up to the sun shining in our bedroom window.  It was warm and beautiful. 

3.  I made homemade pizza with a new whole wheat flour and it was so good!  I am always really happy when I cook new things and they turn out good.  Have any of you baked cookies or anything else with wheat flour??

4.  Tonight Lee and I went to play volleyball with the teens from our church.  I played only because it was so cold in the gym I couldn't sit, but actually ended up enjoying myself.  I am a terrible player, but was never picked for a team last and actually made it over the net most of the time!  Lee is such a great influence on these teenage boys and they all look up to him.  My husband overflows my heart.

5.  After church we went to 7-Eleven because Lee knew how much I would love a donut.  I got their new skinny salted caramel mocha too.  It was delicious!  and the reason I'm up at 1:30am writing this/doing homework.  Thankful for 7-Eleven and their late night bounty of sugary goodness.


Want to join me in appreciating your life more?  All you need is 5 minutes and a pen :)
Come on lets get happy....
