Shoot.

Shoot. Where the heck have I been? 

Now-a-days blogs are all cutesie but here I am all hey. Don't care. Moving right along. 

My ears are for real ringing. I am bored out of my freaking mind. I decided to catch up on a few of my favorite blogs, an activity I used to do daily. Then I remembered how much I used to want to stay up to date on my life and the life of my kid. Looking back on the last two years I feel like a total failure. I have barely wrote down a thing. I have a few pictures to remember this and that but nothing like a specific really good day. Lately, I don't feel like the person I used to be. Sure, being a Mom changed me a little but there is something else and I can't quite put my finger on it. I do miss having really good friends who know me. I have made friends here but not the ones who instantly know if your having a bad day and definitely no one who will call me for a Diet Coke run. Stupid huh? I think I may be putting value on stupid things. Like things that don't really matter anymore. The thing is they matter to me dumb or not. Thats my rant for today. I need to remember how I feel and these things that are going on. Now on to the good stuff...

Miles Drewbie. Oh my gosh I love him. He is 2 and totally working that number like he knows the persona it holds. He really is an awesome kid. I have always known he has a wise old soul but golly gee he really is wise. Smart? Maybe. I'm talking like Wise. Sometimes I think he knows all there is to know about this life. He just came here to be raised and then will go on to be... Who knows what because I don't even have words to describe this one. Andrew and I are obsessed with every little thing he does. Back in December he crawled out of his crib and came into our room. Two things; One I obviously didn't know he knew how to crawl out of his crib. Two, I didn't know he knew how to open doors? Mind Blown. Then he's just standing there in the middle of the night just staring at me. Freaky. Anyway, so instantly you know you need to figure out another sleeping situation. I just didn't know what that was... Still don't. We tried buying a mattress and putting it on the floor but no way jose. He knows our bed is way better. So, I struggled with this for a long time. I knew everyone in the know-it-all mommy world would tell me I need to lock him in or keep walking him back to his room etc.. Well, don't have it in me to lock him in his room and I'm to tired to keep walking him back. I have finally come to a point where I ignored all the voices telling me I am doing a bad job and tried to listen to my own. He sleeps with us. You know what? I like love it. I have been thinking alot about what if I were to lose him or what if something devastating happened tomorrow? I would have zero regrets. I get to spend a lot of 21 out of the 24 hours with him (I don't nap with him.) I get to hold him, kiss him, love him whenever I want. This doesn't work for everyone and soon he will get our bed as his own but for now I will cherish all the time I get to spend with my little love. So, I kinda hope nobody reads all of this. I am happy I wrote this down and I hope to be better at writing all of this life down because we all know there aint no journal I'm writing. Heres to hoping! Cheers.

New Year. Hola.

Another Year has come and gone...

 

Jigga wha??!

 

This year was spent very simply at home, snarfing pizza and finally watching T.V. in the comfort of our living room.

 

We were going on 4 months with no Tele and I think we were both reaching our breaking point. We are couch potatoes by any means but there comes a time where you have watched every movie that you own and your sick of going out to restaurants to catch a football game.

Money and Time people. So, we decided to give the old antenna one more try... Wha-la, turns out I may have been trying to set it up wrong all along.

Shucks.

Of course, Andrew tries one time and it works and when I try to tell him that I tried that same thing he won't believe me.

For all of you out there... I know that I tried the exact same thing and that dang antenna gave me NOTHIN!

 

I'm over it. My ellen watchin days are back and I won't complain.

 

 

This past year has been so good to me.

Last year I would have called you crazy if you told me I would be married, moved twice, and pregnant I would have given you a crusty along with a big fat HA in your face.

Nonetheless, here I am pregnant and living in Boise, ID.

And everything feels like it has gone exactly as it was supposed too.

 

I wish I had some wonderful resolutions like blogging regularly, losing weight, and learning something new etc. I don't and I am okay with that. Right now, I am content with my growing body, the fact that I am not exactly sure what makes me tick yet, and I can't commit to this blog like I dream of. All in good time my friends!

 

I can't wait for next year, and the next, and the next after that. I'm learning that life is good.

Figuring everything out has become my daily routine, and guess what I'm loving it.

                                These pics capture our New Years perfectly.

 Yes, I was sporting no make-up, no bra, and a big ol smile all day.

Holla 2013. Bring it :)



Tuesday.

I like Tuesdays.

Especially this Tuesday.

Why?

Well, simply because Tuesdays are the day I turn a new week pregnant. Today I am 18 weeks prego and going strong. I get a text at approximately 9:00 AM on the morning of the new week telling me all the new things that are going on in there. I usually cheat and read ahead but still I appreciate the text.

Why do I especially like this Tuesday? 

Because, in exactly two weeks from this very day we are leaving for our Thanksgiving vacation. Did I mention we are going to Sunny California where I will plan to drink my first sip of Diet Coke in over two months. I also plan on squeezing babies all week long and enjoying great family chats. 

I love me some vacation.

Oh, and on that Tuesday two weeks from now I will be exactly half way to meeting our baby BOY. 

 Wait IS it Election Day? Kidding. 

It's a good TUESDAY.

Relocated

Folks.

We have relocated to the beautiful location of Eagle, Idaho.

 

I never thought of myself here.

When the opportunity arose I sprung like cheetah after prey.

For real.

If you couldn't already tell I was having a rough one back in CO.

We packed up Tuesday, Left Wednesday, and haven't looked back since.

 

I have already been on a blind "friend" date.

Seriously, and I was loving every bit of sitting outside chatting away with some girlie I have never met in my life.

 

Our little town is enchanted.

 

I am just trying to catch up with life and there will be more updates.

Wristbands

Is it just me or did you leave your wristbands all summer too?

I was an EFY die hard. Fours years proud.

I would leave my wristband on for the entire summer, and when it started to rip and became more like a weapon, I was still wearing that wristband till it decided to fall off MY wrist. Not Vice Versa. And if one came from the pool, or a Seven Peaks Dance... .Same Story.

I don't know exactly why I was so adamant on keeping all of my wristbands. Surely, I had made memories that would last a lifetime and I wouldn't need some wristband to do the job. Regardless, things have not changed. I sit here to today with a wristband on from over a week ago. What? I had a magical time.

Proof.

Please excuse the up close and personal view.

It's still in perfect condition, and it's not going any where. 

It's Friday, I'm by myself. What's a girl to do?

I may be off to rent movies, and I am craving cupcakes.

Why is Sprinkles my favorite cupcake joint no where to be found?

-Wristbands for life.

Gregarious

Andrew told me about this word about a month ago. I thought it sounded great and defined us very well. Little did I know how well...

gre·gar·i·ous

   /grɪˈgɛəriəs/ Show Spelled[gri-gair-ee-uhs]  

adjective

1.

fond of the company of others; sociable.

2.

living in flocks or herds, as animals.

3.

Botany . growing in open clusters or colonies; not matted together.

4.

pertaining to a flock or crowd.

I wouldn't consider myself a social butterfly by any means, but up until recently did I realize how much I need just the simple company of people that I connect with. Colorado has been nice. It has been completely different than I thought.

My thoughts prior to moving:

1. I would have met a friend by now

2. I would have a job by now

3. I would feel comfortable here... by now.

   Don't get me wrong the people here are great. I just have yet to find me a soul girl Aka a girl that I could be potential besties with, sorta like a soulmate girl (in a non-weird way.)

The truth is I AM LONELY in the day until my hub comes home. It's kinda that feeling as if I don't belong/fit in.

I just had the chance to get away for a short 4 days. Which btw were magical. Give me the Shamu Show and Coronado in the same trip and I am a changed women. Last night as we were driving home from the airport we were chatting all about the trip and how much we missed each other. We turned onto the street that leads to our house and tears just started streaming down my face. My reality set back in.

Its hard. Its my little battle that I have to keep fighting. Andrew just held me all night long as I wiped snot all over our blanket, and mascara on our pillows and his face. He didn't care. He knew exactly how I was feeling. I got a good one. He for real is my {soulmate}.

Long story short. I have learned that I need people. I need friends. I need good company.
