So I figured I would update a bit about what has been going on at the Bludstone place. It has been a bit quiet. A lot has been going on in RL for many of the people in our family. I have been trying to find things to stay busy and actually out of world a bit since Outlaw is currently not on a whole lot.
So a bunch of us (Practically our whole family.. kinda how we met) used to work at a club in SL. Sadie, Outlaw, Desi, and myself all used to be Assistant Managers but then various things happened and we have all been gone since the beginning of June. Well Desi had gone and talked to the owner a bit the other day and went back there as a fill in DJ. To make a long story short, she brought me to the club the other day and the owner approached me and after some talking about things that happened in the past, asked if I would be interested in a position as an Events Manager. I had to think about it a lot because of past things, and how burnt out I eventually had got. I worked 7 days a week for 2+ hours a day in the club and numerous outside the club for 3 months in the past. So after finding out my duties and putting a lot of thought into, I took the position. A few people in the family are not happy about it or are worried burn out will happen again, but I see this as a new opportunity and a new venture doing something I enjoy. Desi is back in management there as well as an Administrator Manager. She is an assistant to me, the owners, and higher manager doing posters and such that are needed. Both our positions are a lot less hours in the club worrying about this and that which is a HUGE relief. It allows us to even be out of world doing it, which I have been doing. This also came at a good time. The club where we were working at and where I had my store, closed suddenly. So my in-world store is shut down for now but will be opening back up by this week sometime.
Today was my first day on the new job, even though I did a bunch of things yesterday and was in a managers meeting. I have jumped into this full force. I LOVE planning parties and events. Yes it can get a bit stressful because I like things perfect but it is something I enjoy. It is kinda the artistic side of me that shines through when I do them. This was a favorite part of my job before. So anyways, I had my first event tonight. They has a Neko Party planned from 4 to 8pm. One requirement is that I am in the club during my events, so I had to be in the club the whole time but it wasn't bad. A Neko is a human/cat hybrid of sorts in Second Life. Outlaw, Myself, Scarlet, Tilly, Molly, & even baby Hudson are all Neko. We wear fluffy tails and ears, and for most times a certain style of clothing. I have been going tail and ear-less a lot lately because of the high scripts with my Mama Allpa and Tummy talker, and for some reason I have issues in certain places that when wearing them or anything high script and there is a lot of scripts in the area, my tummy talker keeps losing connection with my hud. Ahhhh Im rambling.... Can you tell it is almost 2 am where I am and I have had 3 bottles of Mountain Dew today?!?! LOL. So back to the event. It was a MAJOR success. One of the club owners was in my box numerous times about how great it was and thanking me. I really enjoyed it tonight. I had a blast. We peeked at 50 people in the sim with 47 in the club. It was amazing! There were tons of laughs, jokes, and tail pulling of course. Most tails are clickable and give you a menu. They can be x-rated (which were tuned off since that isn't appropriate for the club), Mean, Silly, or just normal things such as petting the persons tail. It was a great time and I am so happy to be back at a place that feels like home.
Well that is my update for now. I need to get my behind to bed. The sun comes up very early and I have RL work in the morning. Good Night everyone. Hugs, Kisses, Love, and Sparkly Things.

1st Baby Appointment
Although this is not my first "rodeo" with going to a Second Life Maternity Clinic, I was still a ball of nerves. I think we all were. Tonight we had our first appointment and ultrasound. Outlaw of course went with me and Sadie and Flint came along as well, Sadie for support and Flint just cause I could call him Squirrel Boy the whole time...
I teleported to the clinic first then sent tp's to everyone else. The doctor landed on sim shortly after me. The clinic itself when you get there doesn't scream Hospital or anything else. It was actually like a platform with an open wall building with some seating and a teleport system. The Doctor, Ana, sent me a request on up to the clinic room. Once there, I looked around, then pulled everyone on up. There was a huge sectional couch for family to sit patiently(or impatiently) while the doctor talked to me and began the exam.
She asked me if this was my first pregnancy, how many pregnancies I have had, and then if I had any bleeding, nausea, or anything else concerning. One thing I should note is that when going through an SL pregnancy and through a clinic, it is very focused on role play, so everything gets asked. Of course everything, except my little tempers, has been pretty good.
So next step after the questions was to check me out. It started with the oh so fun, being weighed, followed by blood pressure, which was very good. Then came the time everyone was excited about: Ultrasound!!
Everyone gathered around the table as the doctor squirted cold gel on my tummy and began the scan. The results are in.... There is one little Peanut in there. :-)
Of course when I posted in family chat about being one, everyone made jokes about me calling him/her a peanut, so guess we have to come up with a new nickname until we find out blue or pink and pick a name. Which by the way, our next appointment will be August 6th and we will find out then if its a boy or girl.
So that is the little baby update for now. One other update I wanted to share was that I officially have an in world store and have been cranking out tattoos left and right!! I already have a few custom requests that have come in so excited about that although I'm not officially taking custom orders for a bit yet.

Our Busy Busy Life
It seems like there is not enough time in the day anymore. Both Outlaw and myself are working at 3 different clubs at the moment. I just picked up permanent slots at Ohana's and I also started at The Rocky Mountain Rock Club. I have been working one set a week at our daughter Tilly's Club. Its so busy and crazy in Second Life. Most know Second life is basically in fast forward mode anyways... You meet someone and sometimes its only weeks later you are partnered/ married (some even just days). Then for the role players, there are babies which you conceive and are normally born just a few weeks later. It is like life is playing very fast and when you think there is not enough time in RL, SL is so much more crazier. I have been feeling it the past few weeks as different things have kept me and Outlaw from spending a lot of time together. And now with us both working so much, its going to be even harder. One of the downfalls when you fall hard for someone through SL is finding that time to be together.
So The past few days have been crazy. The one club Outlaw works for opened back up yesterday and then there was the grand opening of The Rocky Mountain Rock Club which we both work for. It was a great night and I was able to steal a few minutes in IMs with him. We heard back from the Doctor that I was referred to and she has taken us on as patients. Our first baby appointment will be Monday the 15th. I am super excited. We should find out how many babies, I think if there is more than one, both Outlaw and myself may faint. It is the draw of the cards though as the Hud system does allow for possibility of multiples but it is on a human standard chance. Meaning that the chances of having multiples is the same as RL. This will be the first of 4 appointments according to the notecard of information from the clinic. We will find out the gender at appointment 2.
I had a few issues with the Tummy talker and HUD the past few days so I IMed the Tummy Talker's creator who was so amazing! She walked me through a few steps to see if we could get it working. It kept disconnecting though saying that it couldn't establish a connection with the HUD and then that the RLV wasn't enabled for my Shape Shifter. So after troubleshooting and it still giving me issues, she sent me a fresh copy of the Mama Allpa HUD and wah lah! It works wonderful now! I love this tummy talker as it doesn't spam unrealistic things like feeling kicks at 6 weeks... It instead works as the weeks go by, sending out random messages both privately and also emoting in local. I set my emoting to whisper unless I am working at the one club, then I turn it all to private as to not spam the chat. The other two clubs it doesn't matter as much. I have it set to randomly emote anywhere from every 5 to 60 minutes but this can also be changed to how ever long you want it to. I was in a mood the other night and set it to go off every 15 minutes...lol... It also will alert your partner privately. Yesterday it told Outlaw to make sure he is showing me that I am still wanted or something along those lines. So he posted in local that he loved me and called me beautiful. I didn't even know it told him that until he IMed me. It was sweet although I asked him why he was sucking up. LOL.
Here is the link for what I have in case anyone would like to try it out. Note: You do need the Mama Allpa to use it and your Mama Allpa MUST state you are pregnant or it will not attach.

Well other then that, I have been redoing our land, making the perfect hang out spot and party location. We used to hold truth or dare nights a while back (before we got so busy with working). We are really hoping to start them up again so I wanted everything set out. I think it looks awesome and cannot wait to have all of our family and friends over. I also wanted a little change and found a new Belleza Skin. It was their Fifty Linden Friday with week and let me tell you, it is GORGEOUS! I Just sent a notecard to the creator asking if he has any intention of creating a line of it. Fingers crossed he does because I will buy it all!

1+1=3
So July 2nd, Outlaw and Myself found out some amazing news!!
I decided to break it to him by wearing this shirt:
I decided to break it to him by wearing this shirt:
If you can't read it, it says "Look what Daddy Did" with an arrow pointing to my belly!!
That's right!! Me and Outlaw are expecting September 23rd, 2013!!
So with a SL pregnancy there is still a bunch of things needed to be done. I have done one in the past with my oldest Zooby Hudson and a very brief one with Trinity (Long story). With Hudson I went through a RP Clinic and lived in a RP community and was helped through the whole thing. This time however, I no longer talk to certain people and we live on our own land so I wasn't sure how I wanted to do this. I didn't have the best experience with the clinic I went through but It wasn't like a deal breaker either. I knew however that I could not afford to go back through that clinic as its L$3K. I am no longer managing and just started back hosting at a few clubs so I am getting back on my feet financially in SL but not to a point I can drop that on a clinic.
We went with the Mama Allpa hud since I have done the pooter before and I just wanted a change. I also had a system of a tummy talker and shape shifter that works directly with my MA hud. I found out after some investigating that MA doctors actually offer most of their services for free to MA users. So after talking with a few people, someone suggested a clinic. I just got done leaving a message for the doctor so I should hear back soon!
We are so excited to start this chapter. Our family is just as excited. We should find out with in the next week or 2, how many babies as well as our first ultrasound picture!!
Happy Fourth of July Love the Bludstones!! <3

Meet our Family
Outlaw & Clara Bludstone:
That's me and the hubby. :-)
Flint & Sadie:
These are some of our best friends. They are our brother and sister. Sadie is always around with an ear and a frying pan to beat up Outlaw anytime he needs it and I have the frying pan for Flint. This is them on their SL wedding day, June 27th, 2013.
Desiree (Desi):
I call her Boom and she calls me Bee. This girl is amazing. She is our Sister. She has been there through ups and downs with me. An Amazing photographer, DJ, and Friend.
Jim:
Jim is a very close friend who has always stood by me and protected me. He is the one I chose to give me away... Occasionally he runs around as a wolf (or Puppy as Desi calls him!!)
Our Daughters Tilly and Scarlet:
These two girls drive us nuts at times. On the left is Tilly, the chocoholic cookie monster who always has something random to say or just something that makes you stop and laugh. She has made us Grandparents with he son Mathew and is now expecting. Scarlet is the most caring person I know. She is one of a kind just like Tilly. They are completely opposite though. Scarlet is engaged to a wonderful man named Adrian.
Along with Tilly and Scarlet, Outlaw and I also have a 4yr old Molly and 2 Zooby babies: Hudson and Trinity.
** More Family to be added later :-)**
Our Story... The Beginning
I met Outlaw back around February-March at a club we both worked at. He is a DJ and I am a Hostess. We became friends, joking and flirting back and forth. I had met some real losers in SL along with RL. I had a couple SL relationships, each ending mainly because of drama. I hate drama... Hate it, Hate it, Hate it!! It wasn't until April that we decided to become more than just friends. We officially started dating April 7th. We learned quickly how much alike we are, how our interests and favorite things are similar. It was a breath of fresh air. We clicked so well and I fell head over heels. The type of head over heels that scared the crap outta me! I was scared to get hurt mostly because of some RL things that have happened over the past few years. I feel in love with Outlaw in both lives hard and fast. We would spend hours talking on Skype, most of the times the call ending because of him falling asleep on me (giggles). Hours just passed without either one of us realizing it, 8 hours, 10 hours, and sometimes more, Just sitting and talking.. I never knew I could talk so much and really not remember what we talked about because we just kept talking about everything in our lives.
A couple weeks went by.. Then one day sitting on Skype with some of our closest friends we were talking away. We were at The Raging Storm hanging out. I was getting ready to have a host meeting but was enjoying the set going on until it was time. Outlaw said he would be right back in Skype cause he had to write something out and didn't want to get distracted since there were about 5 of us in the call. So I am sitting there yacking away and everyone starts telling me to shut up and listen to the DJ... Well I missed what she said but heard the song and everyone saying he dedicated it to me. Beyond the Sun by Shinedown. Our rock song (Since we worked at a rock club). All of a sudden I happen to look in local and I see this:
[16:44] DJ ӨЦƬᄂΛЩ (zukimaru): ~steps up close to My Clara, and takes her left hand in My right, and then goes slowly down to My right knee. The entire time I kept My eyes locked on hers. And then I started to speak~ Clara, You have brightened My world since the moment I came to you and need help being cheered up. You helped Me through that night, and put a smile on My face. And you have continually put a smile on My face everyday since. You have warmed My heart. When I wake each morning to you getting ready for work, it starts My day on the best of notes. I never want that to end. Will you spend your life with Me, by My side, As My wife?
[16:45] ɕʆɑгɑ ωιηтєяѕ (gemb): uyes baby!!! I love you
[16:46] DJ ӨЦƬᄂΛЩ (zukimaru): ~slips the ring on your finger and stands up to take you into My arms and hold you tight~
I had tears coming down my cheeks IRL. I was shaking so much I had to mute my mic on Skype. Finally I gathered my self enough to stop shaking a bit and tell him yes!
He had proposed to me April 24th, 2013. It was a shock to say the least but I couldn't be any happier. He is one who holds my whole heart. He has seen me in the good and bad, stood by me through drama and been the one to pick me up when I felt I couldn't stand. The next 2 months we planned a wedding, started a new life, continued to learn more about each other, and fell deeper in Love. On June 22nd, 2013, in front of our family and closest friends, we said our vows to each other in SL. It was the most stressful, exciting, loving, and every other emotional possible, type of day! Once I got to the aisle to start to walk up, Everything stood still. Only person I saw was him. Only thing I cared about was that I was going to be his wife. I was his completely. I had tears falling irl, a whole box of tissues right next to my computer that I went through. I could not ask for a better man in my life. This is just the beginning.
