What I'm thankful for.

So, since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time for a blog!


What am I thankful for? Here are just a few things:

First and foremost, I am thankful for my Lord and Savior! He has been so good to me and my family and I know He is always there to talk to. He has provided us with everything we need and more. I don't think I would be where I am today without believing in Him through the good times and the bad. He brought me my wonderful husband, my little baby boy, my family and my friends. He has made my life what it is today and I am so thankful that He is always there. I am lucky to know Him and have such a strong relationship with Him. I know that it gets stronger everyday. I am also lucky and thankful to know that He loves me SO very much, even more than I can and will ever understand. :)



Second I am thankful for my wonderful husband. He is truly amazing! He works so hard which allows me to stay home and not have to work. He is always there for me, through thick and thin and always says I love you even if were arguing. He is a man of God. He is faithful and will always be faithful to God and his marriage. He is going to be a wonderful daddy and I cannot wait to see him with Bentley. I am thankful that he loves me so much and shows it everyday. I know that he will always be there for me through thick and thin, and just like our vows said, "To have and to hold from this day (November 20th 2010) forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live." I know that he honors these vows and always will and I am so very thankful to have him as my wonderful, Godly, caring, sweet and faithful husband! 

Third I would have to say my son, Bentley. Even though he is not born yet, I love him so much. Feeling his little kicks make me so happy. My hopes for him in the future are that he will be just like his daddy.  That he will love God and strive to be like him. That he will love and cherish his future wife. That he will always follow his heart and be a loving and kind little boy. I pray daily that he will be a man of God and as he gets older that he will see the importance of a strong relationship with the Lord. I pray that Neil and I will be great examples for him to do so. I am so thankful for this little boy and cant wait until he is born. 

Next is my family. I know I listed a few family members already but I have more family to list! I am so lucky to have a family like mine. They're all so loving, kind, caring and most importantly, Godly. They all have a heart after their Lord and Savior and it just amazes me. I have learned so much from them and am still learning. I am thankful for ALL of my family, but I have to list a few more.

I have to mention my mom specifically. She is the best mom I could ever have. She is so Godly and I am still learning how to love the Lord as much as she does! She is an amazing woman and I know she is always there for me. If I have a problem I know I can call her anytime and she will help me through it. She is also so caring about others and always wants to help in any way she can. I love that about her. She loves to give as much as she can and thinks of herself last and others first. Shes kind to everyone, but firm when she needs to be so she doesn't get trampled on! I am learning how to be like her in that way also! My mom is so much more than I have just described, but those are just a few things I love about her. I wouldn't be who I am today without her. I am very thankful for my mom!

So I'm going to still be stuck on family, but I have to include my Uncle Ron and Aunt Alecia. They are amazing people as well. They both have done soooo much for me I just cant think of any way to ever repay them. They are such giving people and Godly people as well. They do so much for everyone and also think of others first and themselves last. I just have to say, my wedding would not have been anything without them. They helped out so much! I know they love me and are like my second parents. I can call them in a time of need and know they are always there for me! They love their family and love God so much. I honestly don't know where Id be without them. I love them both so much and am so thankful they are in my life!

Ok next are my friends. My friends are amazing. I know that they will always be there for me whenever I need them. I have been through a lot with them and love them all so much! We have had crazy times together but are always there for each other. I am so thankful to have such great friends! I have to mention my best friend Elise. She is an awesome best friend. She always makes me laugh and knows how to cheer me up! Shes there for me whenever and through thick and thin. She knows everything about me and loves to help when she can! If Im having a bad day she knows how to make me laugh and for get about it. I dont know where Id be without her. She is so sweet, caring, kind and is has grown into such a Godly person. She is always happy and looks at the glass half full which I sometimes forget to do. and soon we will be MARRIED best friends!! I just have to say congrats to Jack and Elise on their engagement!! :) I am also thankful for Jack. I am so happy that Elise has found her soul mate and that he is also a very Godly person. He makes her so happy and I couldnt be happier for them. I love them both!

I am also very thankful for my new apartment! Well, I am thankful for any roof over my head which God has always provided for my family. Our new apartment is so perfect for us and we love it! I am so glad we have a nice place to live and enough food to eat every day.

I think the last thing I am thankful for is my amazing life. I wouldn't ask for a better one. I have an amazing God, a sweet and caring husband, a loving family, great friends, and a nice place to live. What else could I possibly ask for? My life is amazing and I wouldn't change it for anything.


P.S. The last last thing I'm thankful for is holidays with family and outdoor movie night at my aunt and uncles! :) I just had to add that.


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! :)

Prayers!

Sooooo...as all of you probably know, my little kitty Baker was put to sleep Christmas day. It was such a struggle for us to put him down, but we did what was right for him. I felt that if I wouldnt have put him down, I would have been being selfish and only keeping him in this world for my own selfishness so I wouldnt be hurting and crying everyday. Im not sure if animals go to heaven or not, but if they do he would definitely be there. He was so sweet. I know it may seem weird for me to be so upset about this, but Baker always followed me everywhere. He loved to sleep wit me every night. He was always so tiny and calm. I miss this kitty so much! ='(  

                 R.I.P. Baker I love you <3

So these past few months so much has happened. It seems like every bad thing that can possibly happen has happened to us. We had to move out of our house on very short notice and the people were horrible, our AC broke in the other house, we had to give our dogs up, had to bomb the house of fleas, our rent was way more than they said, we barely have groceries, my job is horrible and I never get paid, Weve both been really sick many times and to the hospital and owe money still, I had surgery, my car door got smashed pretty bad, my car battery is dead and will not keep a charge, my kitty died, my other kitty might have the same disease, we didnt get to spend time with family on christmas, and so much more I cant even say. Could things get any worse? 

Christmas had a great meaning, but this just sucks.

We really need prayer from anyone and everyone were doing ok but things havent been good. Its so hard to stay on top of everything when it just seems like everything turns bad. My faith is good, but could be better after everything that has happened. I know that God will help us through this, I just had to get things off my chest. Thanks for listening.

Lots going on! Wedding ahhh!!!!!!!! =)

I know, its been a while since I've made a blog! I've been so busy its crazy! Getting wedding stuff done and its pretty stressful to say the least. Thanks to my AMAZING Aunt Alecia, things are getting better. She has been helping me so much with planning and buying and getting everything organized, I love her!!!!!!!!!!! and thanks to everyone who has helped out already or that is helping out now. I love all of you!

So 22 days until my wedding. WHERE DID THE TIME GO?! things are a bit crazy around the house. We are still trying to unpack since we have both been working so much lately. Its clean for the most part though. I hate my house being messy it upsets me and stresses me out more than i already am! Neil has been amazing when i get stressed though. He helps me destress which is nice when you have someone there to do that.

As far as working goes im actually getting somewhere with this lady! I'm being paid on time and the kids are getting better from being sick, which is nice.

We are trying to sell our 2002 Cadillac STS, too. We can be a 1 car family for a little bit and that would surely help us out with the wedding a little bit! Were sure we wont sell it until way after the wedding though. Its just too much for us to pay for right now. So if anyone wants a new car its pretty nice! in very good condition!

Have a great day everyone!

back to reality..

So my wedding is coming up soon and I had a BRILLIANT idea! Or, so I thought. I was looking at plane tickets today and, hoping to find a cheap one, I was actually in a good mood. I looked on all the website...where am I suppose to get $900 dollars for 2 people? I dont have a job, Im not married yet, and I have to pay for a wedding. Well...it was a good thought and a great dream but I cant get that kind of money. Im certainly going to try but I dont know. PRAY that I will get that money somehow! If I do my dream will come true!

Me and the boys =)

Here are some pictures of the boys and me!

Ethan loves to watch movies, but i have to limit them or he will be watchin them all day! Jeremiah, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He takes interest in everything I do! =)

Ethan likes the camera!

Sleeping J!

Sleeping E man!

J!!!!

=)

I definitely love these boys <3

First day =))

Well, today was my first day of nannying for Ethan, whose 1 and a half, and Jeremiah, whose 6 months. They are the cutest kids, but they are definitely hard work! Even though I did not take pictures today, I will tell a little about what happened on my first day! =)
I woke up at 630 which was really hard for me to do since I am used to waking up at 930!! Anyways, I got to their house at 730 am and the kids were still sleeping, but not for long! At around 740 they woke up, so I made breakfast for Ethan and gave Jeremiah a bottle. They were finally both happy so we watched Finding Nemo while eating breakfast. It was fun!
After the movie I packed up the diaper bag with snacks, lunch, baby food, bottles, lots of diapers, extra clothes and binkis and we were off to the playground! Im going to be completely honest....Ethan played for less time than it took the get to the playground! It was so hot and miserable for him and me to be out there! We decided to hit the pool and eat lunch! That was more like it!
After eating, I packed up and we left with Ethan, half asleep, saying bye bye pool and then crying to go back. (Too cute!) We got home and Ethan went right to bed. Jeremiah was wide awake from sleeping in the car on the way there and on the way back. After I got Jeremiah tired enough to sleep I got to clean up the house a little bit and get in about a 30 minute nap. NOT LONG ENOUGH!
When they both woke up we put The Princess and the Frog on and played catch. It was a really good day, but I do have to say that I will not be having kids ANY time soon. Theyre fun but I can deal without for a few years. =)

PS: Ill have pictures up tomorrow of us swimming and having fun at the pool! =)

Fun Filled Friday!!! =D

Today was pretty much considered AHMAZING. =). You will find this funny, but I started out my day by waking up, cleaning a little bit and dancing with my dog. I was in such a good mood for some reason. =) After the first song with her, she decided I was crazy and thought she just wanted to watch me dance.

After a few minutes of dancing, we both felt like taking a nap. I was pooped from cleaning and dancing!

Later I jumped in the shower to get ready to go to the mall with Angel! It was so much fun! We went to a bunch of stores, but the best part was 7 eleven for slushies!!! (Oh thank Heaven for 7 eleven!!!)

We even got sour punch straws to put in the slushies. They were SUPER good =D

When I got home I was surprised by Neil in saying we were going to the Melting Pot for dessert! YUMMMM!!! $16 for all you can eat dessert is not to bad! It was amazing to say the least =)

Another surprise was going to the beach, although we only stayed for a few minutes because we both were tired. Picture didnt turn out too well!

On our way home we thought we needed to pull an all nighter, so we went and got 2 red box movies! I dont think we will watch the both though.

Today was definitely one of the best days ever =). I LOVE spending time with Neil =)
