Wide awake

So it's 2am an the hubs and I have been wide awake for about an hour or so lol This is why we don't go to bed early haha but it's ok cause yesterday we celebrated being married for 8yrs!!! I know it's been forever :) I can't wait to spend many. may, many more years with him!! He is my soul mate and I love him with all my heart and soul.. He gets me and always knows when somethings wrong whether it be emotionally or physically..

I am so excited for Christmas this year!! I can't wait for the girls to be able to open all their gifts from everyone!! Ekko keeps bugging me about when she gets to open hers lol I miss how innocent and amazing being a child is.. Their biggest worry is what to play with at any given moment and they have the biggest imaginations ever!!

We are slowly helping one of besties move into their new house!! I am so excited for them :) They have been going through a battle with the realty people who have been not doing very good at their job, but the owner is working with them :)

Not much to update on us, not much is really different or new with us lol same ol same ol :) I hope everyone has an awesome night and I may or may not Blog again before Christmas but we shall see lol

Rough Day

So today has been a little rough.. Ekko is being very defiant and not listening :( But it's ok cause we are still working with her.. She has manners and uses them but goes against what we tell her to do.. She has ADD and ODD so we see a therapist for her that specializes in those things to help her.. She starts her last semester of Pre-K January 24th and then starts Kindergarten in August :) I can't believe my baby is going to start kindergarten soon!!! I just hope we can get her more calm and focused before she starts school..

Ailynne is cutting at least 4 teeth right now so she's extra whiny lol I feel so bad for them when they're teething.. My incredibly shrinking baby as I like to call her lol Since she's been walking she's 18mon for tops cause of her long torso and 12mon on the bottom for her tiny waist lol She's tall and skinny just like her daddy :)

Other than them being whiny and defiant, my day has been pretty good ;P Helped Mandy with the first load of things to move to her new house and still have a lot to go but we are getting it done as we can with 4 kids :) When we have the chance Matthew watches them while she and I go and load up and unload and unpack what we took over :) I am so happy for them to be able to have their own home :) I can't wait to see it all set up :)

Seeing how we are going to stay here a bit longer I think I am going to try and think of how I really want my house set up and decorated and get more pictures on the walls and such :) I want to find a few toy boxes, 1 for downstairs, 1 for Ailynne's Room and 1 for Ekko's room :) We will be getting Ailynne a toddler bed in the next couple of months and getting rid of the crib!!! I can't believe my baby baby is already ready for a toddler bed!! We will be slowly working on potty training her within the next couple of months as well, as she is starting to take her diapers off more and more..

Well that's all for now :) I am going to hang out with Mandy and Matthew, watch some House and relax till time to head home for the night :) Nighty Night and Sweet Dreams Everyone!!!

Decisions, decisions, decisions

So as most of you know I have recently become Christian again :) Well I will be getting baptized this Sunday!!!! I know it's soon but I am ready for this... I have been praying a lot for lots of different things and I have been shown some of the path I am to be going down :)

More news.... Instead of trying to PCS out of here, we are going to stay for a while longer before we try to go back overseas!!! I know who would have thought I would be saying this.. We have come to know many awesome people here and don't really want to lose that.. One of my best friends, Mandy, lives here and she and I have been through a lot in the past year.. We have come over a lot of things and it has brought us really close together!! I have quite a few best friends who I can't live without!!

I have been slowly trying to get things worked out with a few old friends trying to start over and make it work :) Life is too short and I don't want to miss out on anything God has in store for me by being blind to what's already in front of me :)

Well that's it for now, just thought I would give a little update :)

A new outlook

SO it has been a long time since I last blogged, and I am sorry for that.. But my life is pretty routine lately lol As far as my hubs and I go, we are great!! We will be celebrating 8yrs of being married December 20th!!! I can't believe it's been 8yrs, I still feel so grateful to have the most amazing husband a girl could ask for :) I am more in love with him than when I first fell in love with him, he has been an amazing father to our daughters and amazing to me..

Ekko is spending some time with her Papa :) We actually meet up with my dad to get her back on the 10th!! I have missed her so much!! She has gotten an early gift from Santa, which is a new bicycle lol Dad has spoiled her rotten but hey that's what Grandparents are supposed to do :)

Ailynne is getting so big!! Her vocabulary is building so quickly lol She can say mama, dada, papa, soda, doo doo(LMAO) and several other words.. She is so silly and has such a bright personality, don't get me wrong she's a girl so she is dramatic at times too lol

I do have a big announcement to make though :) As most of you know I have been Wiccan for 8yrs and have been thinking a lot and have made the decision to become Christian again and have been saved!! I still have discipleship and a baptism to do but it is a work in progress.. Pastor, Mandy and Matthew have been helping me and are helping me take it slow till I get the hang of being a Christian again :)

Well that's it fr now and I hope everyone enjoyed it :)
