Tuesday

We went house shopping. We saw this beautiful house about 25 minutes away from us now, but so beautiful. We weren't able to see the inside, because the Agency hasn't closed on it yet. We just looked through the windows. BEAUTIFUL! It's over 2,000 sq. Ft., two story. Nice wooden front door with a nice oval shape in the middle with flowers printed on glass. So nice! The kitchen has an island. It's tile floors in the kitchen and dining area, which is what we need with these messy kids that we have. The rest of the house is fully carpeted. Three bedrooms, huge living room area, plus a loft upstairs. GORGEOUS! I can't wait!! We're going to look at the rest of the house next week when things are finalized and they have keys to open it up. It's really nice. It's closer to where Charles works. It's a brand new area, they'll be a Wal-Mart there soon. It's a MUST have after looking at it. We saw three others that were okay, but look like crap compared to the first house we saw. Two of the houses were new, two were previously lived in. We got spoiled with this house that we're in now, because it was brand new. I want something else that's new as well. I just can't wait to see the rest of the house next week, hopefully. That's how nice it is. We pretty much made our decision with out even stepping foot into the house. How crazy is that? You know it MUST be nice. The kids are excited to have such a big house to play hide n' seek in. Pretty funny! Aiy, is excited. That means she'll definitely NEED to sleep over three times a week. We'll be too far from her house to be driving her home at night. That's a good thing, because she needs to spend time with us too. After having her for almost two weeks in NY she got used to us being around. Tuesday, was the first day really seeing her since NY. She seemed to miss us all. She's still "acting" like the BIG sister too, which is cool. She hasn't really done that until NY and she's keeping it up. She was feeding Messa her spaghetti tonight, because she was eating too slow. We rented "Because of Winn Dixie." We all "vegged out" in the living room. Charles, filled up the air mattress that we got for Brevy while in NY, for aiy. Then, I brought out the old crib mattresses and covered them all with big comforters and we snacked while watching the movie. Baby, still doesn't feel well. He went to the doctors to see what was going on. Apparently, he caught something while in NY. He just has pressure in his head and all the symptoms of a migraine. "Poor weedels" He went to bed early again. Me? I'm just bored...Figured I should blog and then write out my "Thank You" cards. I haven't had time to do them yet. I got the packages today that my Dad sent and was busy trying to find everything a "home." I don't know why?!?! In less than one month we'll be moving and nothing will have a home. Ugh! I'm excited to start anew somewhere that's twice the size of this, but I HATE the whole moving process. Sucks! Bittersweet, I guess. Well, it's getting late and I have to wake up "early" and meet these garage people that are coming to fix the pad lock. Ugh! More tomorrow! G'nite! :-O (yawn!)

Wedding Pictures and Gifts!

I got my pictures today via postal mail. I was so excited to pop in the free digital album my photographer included. There's over 1,000 pictures. They're so nice!! I got teary- eyed all over again. I watched it twice, it takes about 45 minutes for the whole thing to play once. It has music and the pages turn by themselves. I LOVE it! I couldn't wait to show my husband (I love saying and writing, "Husband") when he got home. He watched it and loved it, too! He doesn't feel that great tonight, He's got a migraine. Poor Hubby! He went to bed early, he needs the extra rest. Tomorrow, he's got a day off so we can "house shop," but we can't even take advantage and sleep late. Brevy, has an early morning dental appointment. He's been getting his teeth cleaned ever since he was two years old. hehe. You have to start them early so they make it a priority when they're older!!! He loves it! He's so excited to get a new tooth brush, it's hilarious! So, after his appointment and some breakfast we'll be able to check out some rental houses. It's exciting even though I really don't want go through the whole moving process. If I could just snap my fingers it would be over with and we'd be settled somewhere new. If only it were that easy though! Dad, called today. He sent me two boxes of all the things I wasn't able to bring back with me from NY. We always leave stuff there. It's impossible to take everything on an airplane. He was wondering if I got it yet. We got some wedding gifts we had to have him send as well. Hopefully, it comes tomorrow. I'm ready to send out my 'Thank You' cards for the wedding gifts we DID receive. You're suppose to wait like a month afterwards...I figure if people haven't sent them by now, they're NOT going to. So, why wait? I'm a punctual kind of 'wifie.' I'm eager to send them NOW. Besides for the people that DID send us things, what are they going to think? Probably, that we forgot about their gift. Ah, so I make my own rules and will send them NOW! 8-)

Everyday stuff

Ahh, work today was something else... We were short people, Didn't have time to even get a drink, Containers overflowing with no boxes to put anything in. Just crazy! I got out 40 minutes after I was scheduled. It just took that long to get out of there. Thank God at 6:00pm people started coming in. I couldn't believe how crazy it all was. I closed the night before and it's hard to function when you're tired. Right when I got home we went out to eat at Red Robin. Right before Meesa's food came she started complaining that the back of her head was hurting. Her spaghetti came and she didn't want to eat because she seemed like she was in pain. I had her sit next to me and tried to feed her little bits at a time. She said she hit her head when she was taking a nap. I don't know if that was really it. She had some of her cantaloupe and some juice and didn't really want to eat. We left it at that. I had her sitting on my lap. I got to eat some, but couldn't because she was hurting. I gave her some meds thinking maybe it was a headache and I gave her a nice warm bath. She was happy after that. Poor little one! The bath really helped her out though. Maybe she's just tired and cranky and going through a growth spurt. Who knows!? She tells you kind of what she's feeling. She seemed happy after her bath so I hope she'll be okay. I have to work the middle shift tomorrow. It's really hard being gone for that long and then going back to work. Everyone keeps asking me about a honeymoon. We'll get one, just not right away. We just have so much going on all the time and it's always one big thing after another. I guess it keeps us on our toes. Cuz and I, were talking back and forth today. He's a really good person! I'm so happy he was able to marry us. Family for life!! We can't wait to visit him next year. It should be fun!! Well, I should end here. The house is nice and peaceful, because the kiddies are asleep. YAY! Now it's my time to go and relax. G'nite! :)

New look, not looking so good. hehe....

This whole new green look isn't very pretty, I know. Problem is...I've been looking for a new template and I've seen everything out there. It's just NOT what I'm looking for. I wish I had the time to make my own. So, it's a temporarily template. Green just isn't me! :P I found a nice water lily template, that I'm using for my new blog. :) I'm still looking for something nice for this one... Ugh.

BE~our wedding song

Lately, I find I'm caught up in these thoughts~ How will you come to me?~ How will connect these hearts?~ Are you hidden somewhere like a four leaf clover?~ Are you miles away?~ Are we getting any closwer?~ Chorus~ I already see us moving mountains~ I already see us walk in water~ I already see the clouds we're flying over and under~ I can really see myself falling in love eternally~ And I think that's just the way it's gonna be~ Being with you it's like a scene from a dream~ in heaven~ Will you taste like rain~ Can I breathe you like air~ Will I lose myself in your arms somewhere~ I already see us moving mountains~ I already see us walk in water~ I already see the clouds we're flying over and under~ I can really see us having babies~ Walking through the park and being lazy~ I already see myself falling in love eternally~ And I think that's just the way it's gonna be~ And I know, and I know, and I know~ Love can move a mountain~ And I know, and I know, and I know~ It's gonna be better than I imagine~ Putting all my trust in you~ Putting all my trust in you~ We will make our dreams come true~ I already see us moving moutains~ I already see us walk in water~ I already see the clouds we're flying over and under~ I can really see us having babies~ Walking through the park and being lazy~ I already see myself falling in love eternally~ And I think that's just the way it's gonna be~ (Note: The frames make it publish differently, but you get the idea. )

~Married Life~

I officially was married on August 11th to the love of my life. It was a beautiful wedding and it couldn't have gone better. I had my loved ones around me and I was happy. It didn't even rain!!! (It was an outdoor wedding!) It was perfect. There were some run-ins (devil trying to show up), but it didn't work. Everything was perfectly- perfect. I'm so happy!!! I got to see Jen and Jenice. I haven't seen Jen in years and years. She's never even seen my children. It was a good reunion. Jenice, came up to NY as well. She got to see the kids the year before last. My cousin Joe married us. It was the first time I got to meet him face to face. He's a great person. We're going to visit him in NC next year some time. My dad and mom walked me down the aisle..Up a small hill of grass. It was just hard NOT to trip over my dress. LOL. When it came time to put Charles' ring on his finger it was a challenge. He's a basketball player and about a month before the wedding, he hurt his ring finger. I told him before hand that I'd be shoving the ring on regardless. So, that's what I did. It took me three good times, but I got it on there and started laughing. I guess only him and I were the only ones that knew why we were laughing. After the ceremony my Mom and Cousin Joe asked why I started to giggle. Then, I told everyone the story. It figures the day I marry him, I won't be able to get the ring on. Grrr! Nevertheless, it's on there and I don't think it's coming off! HA! It was a good time. My photographer was excellent. He did a wonderful job. Very professional! I just found him online maybe 4 months before the wedding. Wow! That's cutting it close, but everything worked out beautifully! I couldn't have found a better person to shoot my wedding! If anyone needs a wonderful photographer in the NY area, let me know! Ha! We just got back to NM a couple of days ago and now it's just trying to straighten up the house, do all the vacation laundry, and start accumulating moving boxes. We already have some appointments set up to look at houses next week. I can't wait to see what else is out there. There are so many houses going up everywhere...There's got to be something bigger than what we have. We actually went to see a house this evening and was sadly disappointed. The lady was bragging how she only has the most wonderful houses and this house was no where near wonderful. It was awful looking. The front door has a big dent in it. That should have been a good indicator that what was inside wasn't much better. She was bragging to the kids too. Like, "look at the living room isn't it big?" I felt like saying, "No, our living room is twice the size of this!" But I didn't, I was nice. We didn't spend much time there. :P EW! It should be fun next week. We're sticking with our Agency this time. We saw some good houses before we got married, I'm sure we'll find something else for the time being. I just want something bigger. At least a 3 bedroom. We need it with all these kids running around. LOL. I make it sound like I have an army, but Brevy alone IS an army. Hehe...I just can't believe I'm married. I mean, I can...I have just been waiting and waiting for the day to be a MRS. Ever since I was a little girl. You know how you fantasize about it when your young. Well, I'm finally here. I decorated our van after getting home. Charles, got a lot of congratulations. They sure don't honk at you here like in NY. We kind of missed it. I told Charles NOT to expect it here. I mean, it IS NM! Ugh! I'll be glad when we get out of this place for good. We've been so busy I haven't really had time to come on here and write about anything. I've missed blogging. Usually, when I blog Baby, plays xbox. I bought him Madden for his wedding gift. He's in his glory. I got a nice gift too. A new purse. It doesn't get much better than that. hehe. I can never have enough purses these days. I'm getting spoiled, I do believe. Oh No! :-) I deserve it though! hehe...I should end here for now. There's some other things I need to be doing...Besides I'm a newlywed, I don't have the time to be on here. HA! :-)

Update!

Today, my baby started his NEW job. He's got a part time job as an optician again. When I first met him that's what he was doing. He hasn't done it in awhile though. I told him it would all come back to him. He's going to do GREAT! He only works one day a week. :) Really neat! Today, was also one of those crazy days. Jane, kept e-mailing me about small little details that I needed answered. She didn't have the answers for me until today and we were at it all afternoon. It ran me down. Some of the questions were so strange, but we got through it. I think we're set. There's still some last minute things I need to get done. I still haven't found a cake topper. The flowers are pretty much ordered. My mom is still needing to get her dress altered. She's going tomorrow for that. My dad and uncle STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN A DAMN SUIT YET. I give up on them. I really do! It's something that they should have gotten accomplished by now and haven't so it's their own fault. Ugh! MEN! I just have to learn to worry about me and the things I need to get done. If I worry about what everyone in my family is doing and not doing, I'll go crazy! So, we practically meet with Jane what seems like all week. Ugh! I'm going to the beach if I have to WALK! My kids need to see that and I need a break. My cousin and Bride's Maid's are all coming on the same day now. There will be lots going on that day. I just wish I could set a time for certain things that need to get done. I just picture it being kind of crazy and lots of running around. We'll be getting things accomplished and that's all that matters I guess. Mom's going to make the bows when we get there. She's actually helping me out a lot. I didn't think she'd be involved like she is. She's also going to be tying the balloons on the chairs and getting things done while actually at the wedding. Which will be nice to have some help. I'm not used to help, but in this case I'll take all I can get. It would be different if we had the time to set up. We can't set up until 30 minutes before the ceremony starts, because the dining room will be occupied. That's so BULL*&^%! If you ask me. You mean to tell me with everything we've paid we can't come set up 1 hour before. Someone help me please! Whatever though, I just want everything to be up and ready with no problems. I don't think that's too much to ask either. Thursday is Charles' birthday. YAY! We're all really excited for that. I can't say why though. It's a secrete because he'll go to work tomorrow and try to be sneaky and read this. I know him all too well. It will be fun though. :) I'll try t o find a minute to write about it. I'm just glad I'm done with work for a couple of weeks. I really am glad that those lazy people will have to step up on the weekends and actually work while I'm away! HA! That's feels so good. hehe...More tomorrow! :)
