About Me



Hi and Welcome to my blog!
My name is Catelynn Knight. I am a 24 year old wife and mom-to-be that lives in California. :) Currently I work full time as an administrative assistant, occasionally as a restaurant cashier and I also model for Levi Strauss. On top of all that I recently went back to college where I am working on my education to become a Registered Nurse.

I love animals, being outdoors, everything Disney, traveling, baking, photography, art, anything beauty and fashion related, and learning new things. But the most important thing that I love is my Savior Jesus Christ who has given me the wonderful life that I have and the ability to pursue whatever my heart desires.

It's the most stressful time of the year!!!

     Okay I know that isn't how the song goes, it is supposed to be the most WONDERFUL time of the year. Yet I am sitting here typing this with shaky hands, weak legs, dizzy head and a squeezing pain in my chest that tells me an anxiety attack is soon to follow...again for the 50th time this week. No Joke.

     Am I the only one that gets this way during this time of year? I can't be. America puts so much pressure on the consumer to buy the perfect gifts and get the best sales at the best time. Now add living in the expensive Silicon Valley to the mix and that right there is enough to give someone heart palpatations.

     Believe it or not that isn't even the reason for the anxiety attacks I have been having lately. We recently moved into a brand new apartment complex despite the fact that the rent is double most people's mortgages. We loved how new and nice it was and the area aroudn it so we decided to do it! We work hard, why not enjoy where we live? Well since we moved in we have had nothing but problems (too many to talk about all of them in detail here). But the most recent is our roomate decided on Black Friday that he was going to move out THAT day. That was a stressful night. And the latest thing is a few weeks ago the pipes broke above our guest bathroom and bedroom and flooded everything. So we currently have everything ripped out and repair men constantly going in and out every day. Even today...the Eve of Christmas Eve.

     And the last reason for my anxiety is that my husband and I just started TTC but my cycles are so out of whack, thanks to the use of birth control for a few years, making it hard to plan/time everything. We want a baby SO bad, the excitement and anticipation is killing us!!!

     I am trying to get through these attacks with an Elsa state of mind by remembering to just "Let it Go". Also God's word says in 1 Peter 5:7 "Give all your worries and cares to God for He cares about you". I know that God works everything out for good even if we don't understand what He is doing yet.
