Christmas Recap!

Ava opening some of her presents!!


Her favorite present. Her american girl baby doll!! She was so excited!


Her second favorite was her Dora guitar









Christmas was so heart filling. Seeing my baby girl's eyes light up just put me in awe. We were so grateful to have our hero home for Christmas as well and have our little family together. We had many blessings this year :P

And the countdown is on...t-minus 11 days till we start our East Coast Trip!! Looking forward to our big Christmas with our families back home!!

Crunch Time & An update on this thing called LIFE

I can't believe that it's LITERALLY 3 days till Christmas!! It's crazy. Time has gone by way too fast! We have about two weeks till we leave Washington state and head to Fort Drum, NY. Not looking forward to the long drive, but it will be a new adventure! I am totally looking forward to the pit stop with our families and having a second, even if late Christmas with them all. I am getting anxious about the move. I hate that I can't have everything planned ahead and know this is going to happen at this time and ect. It literally makes me bonkers.

Things with the family are great. We are all excited for our family to get out here and visit and then for our journey across country :P. Ava is a ball of nonstop energy. It amazes me how much knowledge she has. She can now count to five with no help and ten with help and can get to h with little help. She knows the majority of her colors and her shapes. And she is picking up new words left and right and is putting together whole sentences. It makes me proud to see her accomplish so much!!

That is the majority of what is going on. Working on clearing out of this station and then headed home for a little then up to New York!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from my family to yours!!

holiday cheer and upcoming events

I am getting so excited for Christmas. Even though we aren't decorating for Christmas because of having to take it down a few days later to move. But none the less I am excited. I got Ava some really cool gifts for Christmas. I am so excited to see her reactions this year. I think my favorite gift though would be the American Girl Doll!!!!! I had one growing up and I loved it. I hope she will love it as much as I did. They have a lot more accessories now then they did when I was little. I can't wait for her to open it up and see her expression!!

I am excited to be able to celebrate our Christmas with just us and then a few days later starting our road trip home to the lovely east coast and visting all our wonderful family and friends!

I am excited for it all!!!! The best late Christmas Dinner! SNOW!!!!! Presents!!! Family!! Friends!!!

I am so blessed this year. I have an amazing husband a beautiful and smart daughter. The greatest friends a girl could ask for and most of the greatest families ever. I can't believe this is my life. I take pride of sure and I count my blessings daily for sure.

I am so excited for the move to NY as well. Looking forward to a new setting, meeting new people, though I will learn from pervious lessons and make sure that never happens again. Looking forward to the snow, which has already started. The beautiful scenery :P. These next three months are going to be crazy, sad, fun, chaotic and all the above.

Things are so crazy. We are getting ready to pcs to NY. Didn't realize how much work I was actually going to have to do lol. Time is going so fast now, soon we will be celebrating Christmas together and then movers will get our stuff and then we are outta here and on our way back to the sweet 'ole east coast!!! I can't wait to be closer to our families and friends. We have missed so much! Looking forward to moving into a bigger and prettier house!!! Which will mean new furniture and more stuff to decortate!! So much to look forward to. Only down fall is having to say goodbye to my two best friends!!! Even if it is just for a little while :) Skype will most liklely be our best friends again!!

I am excited for Christmas!! I got such amazing gifts for both of my loves. I love that I am able to splurge on them this year and not really have a budget. All my hard work has paid off so much and I love it!!.

Our life is great right now, and I so happy and in love. I am blessed. What more could a girl want!

You will always be two faced

People really need to grow up. No one cares about what you have to say. You have said the same thing over and over again. Now it just comes out blah blah blah. Really come out with something new to say. You can't hurt anyone. You have nothing. You really need to get a hobby or a job because you have way to much time on your hands. Here is a tip why don't you actually graduate high school instead of lying about it, because guess what you got caught lying again. Just goes to show how pathetic you are! And shows that you really will end up be a nothing! Keep showing everyone that you life really does revolve around drama. We all know that you try to hurt other people to make yourself feel better. If I had to live your miserable life and marriage and I might do the same thing. Keep talking all the smack you want on everyone, because at the end of a day we could always use a couple more laughs.
