Guess Who's Back?
It's me! Oh my goodness I had totally forgot about this blog! It looks like it has been over 2 years since I have been here. I'm surprised I remembered my login LOL..Such is life...Now let's see if I can keep up with it...Stay tuned!
12.20.2013
Currently...
Eating: Popcorn
Drinking: Sweet Tea
Watching: Courtney Does Dallas (goes to Dallas one of those lol)
Listening: To the tv as it plays
Wearing: T-shirt and shorts (yes it is STILL hot in Florida in December)
Feeling: Good! Today was a good day (in my ICE CUBE voice...)
Needing: To catch up on my scrapbooking (I'm always saying that! gosh get on it already!)
Sooo..ummm..yeah...Every now and then I will remember that I have a blog of my own when I am stalking I mean visiting other people's blogs and I remember that I have not been on mine in a while and I want it to stay current so that I can look back at all of my memories. So after saying all of that and realizing that it is the going on the second week of December and the year is almost over and I have maybe done 8 posts (LOLOLOL) I am going to try to do better in 2014. I love making, keeping, sharing and scrapbooking memories (I get it from my momma)And I need to pick up where I left off. That being said, What have I been up to lately?
Well let's see...I have a mother who I LOVE DEARLY that I have been helping take care of who has not been in the best health this year (I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!)and I have been continuously trying to finish my degree (I'm going to keep chipping away until I get it done I'm DETERMINED!)and I have a loving and understanding husband who is so supportive and shows me what true love is (LOVE YOU BABE!)all while working full-time and trying to lose weight and have a baby! (Whew! that was a mouthful). I think next year I am going to try to document most of that along with picking back up my Project Life scrapbooking. I also want to create some photobooks with either BLURB or Shutterfly next year as well. (DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT!!). So until my next POST Peace OUT!!! SMOOCHES!
Went on my vacation with the hubby to Hilton Head, SC for a week and I'm back!! Enjoyed it so much and can't wait for our next vacation! Hopefully I will be able to update this blog more now that I am back. WhooHoo!
P.S. I started scrapbooking AGAIN. That's what I'm talking about!
Yes blog, I have been missing in action again. Had to much stuff going on that I didn't have time to come on here and post. So what have I been up to lately? For one I accepted a new position a couple of months ago, finished up taking my classes for that semester, moved to a new place all while trying to keep my sanity in place! Things are starting to calm down a little bit so I thought I would post again. I can't wait until next month when I get to take a week's vacation to Hilton Head!! Whoop Whoop! Will definitely need the relaxation from the beach and the resort. Can't wait~~
I had to post the picture above because I thought it was so cute how Saks curled up on Mark's lap to go to sleep. He just started doing that to us recently laying on our laps. Ahhhhh, my little old man is so cute...
I've still been ORDERING scrapbook supplies..LOL..have not had the time to scrapbook in a very long time. However, when I get a chance I look at blogs, Pinterest, etc and get new ideas, and then I order the stuff I need but don't get a chance to use it! Uggggh...I digress..Hopefully when things calm down in my life (HA!) I will be able to put a little focus on my favorite hobby. Ooooh speaking of hobby, maybe I will go to Hobby Lobby today? LOL...goodness..
I love driving through downtown. I have only worked in a building there once a loooooong time ago when I was 18 at a temp agency and I was on teh 84th floor and I remember being so scared because the building still had so many floors to go up. And all I kept thinking about was "Man, if this elevator breaks down, that's ALOT of stairs to have to go up and down!" LOL. Anyway, it's something about downtown that I love and it doesn't matter what city or state I'm in I just like driving through it. Maybe it's all the buildings and the hustle and bustle of all the people walking up and down the street with a million cars and taxis and buses, etc. Okay so maybe I DO know why!! LOL..
As I am sitting here waiting for my sleep to come down because I am so used to staying up late and studying, I am realizing for the first time that I am done with all of my school work for this semester! I am so relieved! This was the hardest semester that I have had in a LONG TIME. Taking three classes while working full-time and trying to have a life with my husband was so stressful these past 16 weeks! But I made it through (thank you hubby for your patience!) Now I only get to relax for a few days because I have another class starting in a week! Whew..okay going to try to get some sleep...
Wishing: These two weeks off goes by as SLOWLY as possible!
Hoping: I get to spend time with friends an family while I'm off and make some more memories :)
You guessed it! Enjoying my Winter Break! Yesterday I spent the day with my parents and mom did something that made my year! For those of you who know what happened earlier this year, you will understand when I tell you that my mom stood up on her own for the first time in 8 months with dad only holding her hand and it literally made me scream, tears come to my eyes and give her the biggest kiss known to man! You will know what I'm talking about :). That was just day one! Today is the second day of my break and I woke up grateful to be alive another day and then I walked Saks out in wonderful weather, so I then decided I was going to go to Walgreens and get me some nail polish (I have a "slight" addiction cheese!) so that I can paint my nails and then I was craving a large LARGE coffee from McDonalds so that I could add my toffee and chocolate creamer to it (YUMM!!)and then do some scrapbooking later. So far so good I'm sitting at my desk watching live tv on my iPad (did I tell you how much I love my iPad)? and downloading my pictures from my phone to start my Project Life book. Hopefully, I will get something accomplished today to post tomorrow. Smooches!!
Thinking: Dang I love my husband so much <3
Enjoying: Not going to say it...YES I AM..MY TIME OFF!!
Loving: Going through all of my pictures that I have taken right now.
Looking Forward To: Celebrating my parents 42nd Anniversary next weekend <3
Guess What I'm Doing?

Our Journey to Having a Family
Okay so I while back I did a post about trying to have a family. We are currently still on our journey. I have had so many tests, surgeries, doctor appointments, pills to take, injections to take that it is starting to take a toll on me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up because I'm going to continue until we have a family or until I can say in my mind that I, We did everything possible to make it happen. Yesterday I had to have another HSG test done (where they make sure that your tubes are still open) because I had surgery last year to open them and since we still are not pregnant, I wanted to make sure that they had not closed up on me. The good news is that they are still open and we can start trying again next month! Yay...and so the journey continues...

What Have I Started Up Again??....
Scrapbooking!!! Whoop Whoop! I was determined not to let my scrapbook "stash" continue to collect dust anymore. Plus I realized that I'm still going out to the stores AND buying stuff online for my addicting habit, however, I have not even been scrapping!! So I decided that I am going to try (I SAID TRY) to do a page a week so that I can get back into the swing of things. I also want to work on my poor neglected blog because I have just been to busy to do any extra curricular activities. So let's see how 2013 goes because I just took a look at 2012 and I had less than 20 posts LOL.
Our Trip to SeaWorld 2013
So we both needed a break from the day to day work and stuff, so I planned a trip for a weekend to Orlando and also to go to SeaWorld. We had so much fun, even got to spend a night with my parents at their resort.
Here I am standing in front of the pretty flamingos
Taking pictures before the show starts
SHAMU! SHAMU! I was so excited to see the show
Mark and I after the show. We did not get splashed! WhooHoo!
Mark touching the stingrays
One of the stingrays as they were swimming around.
Our trip was so much fun that we ended up upgrading to season passes so that we can go back again and again this year. I know we definitely will be going back because you cannot take everything in that they have to offer in one day. I missed some of the shows that I wanted to watch and Mark only got on one rollercoaster ride, so we definitely will be going back.

Not as Easy As Some Make It Seem
We have been on a journey of trying to become a family on our own for almost a year now. I just recently had surgery to make sure that everything was a go and we could finally start with the help of RE doctors. This will be our first month and although every woman wants it to happen on the first try, I have been down this road before and know that sometimes it takes more than one try. With that being said I'm human and I hope that it happens the first time!! LOL But if it doesnt, I'm willing to take it and continue on with our pursuit of becoming a family...
Much Needed Weekend
Mark and I joined my parents for a much needed weekend getaway in Orlando. Here we are at lunch with the parents and then afterwards we went swimming in the pool, watched movies, etc and relaxed. Can't wait for our long vacation that we are taking in October!! Can't get here fast enough!

Been a Long time
FEELING LIKE A DIVA!!
It's been a long time since I have blogged lately. Working full-time and taking three classes and trying to have a life on the side has taken its toll. I am actually taking a much needed 20 min break to write something on this blog seeing that it has been so long since I have been on here. Well hopefully I will be able to start blogging again on a regular basis soon since my three classes will be done in a couple of weeks and I can also start scrapbooking again! Whoop Whoop! Until then see you later! Toodles! ~ Me
