Busy, Busy

This past week was super busy! School and working, along with Wes's soccer and my volleyball, I haven't been able to blog in a few days.


Early last week, one of my super good friends in El Paso had her baby girl! The only thing that sucked was I didn't get to see her until the next day because of work! I was soo bummed, but she was beautiful! I am so happy for Kim and that she finally has her precious baby girl!! I wanted to be one of the first to see her, but with working that didn't happen. I felt so bad! When I finally did she her it was great to finally hold an itty bitty baby!! Ahhhh I want one(:


Wes had his soccer game on Saturday and it was at 9am, and combined with him not being a morning person, he has a little slow to start at first. Once he got going, he was pretty good and did his usual thing. I love watching him play and although he is so cute to watch, I cannot wait until he gets older and it gets more competitive!!


I had a volleyball game next and our first game we ended up playing 3 matches. We won the first and lost the other 2 matches. It was definitely a dirty game we totally should have won, but the ref wasn't calling anything. Our 2nd game wasn't much of a game because we won 5-25 and the next 6-25. It sucked, but a wins a win.

Chris and I have gotten into this show called 'Prison Break' on Netflix. We are also hooked on 'The Big Bang Theory', but we put that on hold cause 'Prison Break' is so awesome!

Now, it's back to another week! Wish the weekend didn't end so suddenly, but only 5 more days lol

Over the River & Through the Woods

Like the title of my blog hints, this blog will be everywhere because I don't blog everyday and I need to start!!

So, I signed up with Fort Bliss to play in the Women's Volleyball League! I freaking love it! I have forgotten how much I love volleyball and how much talent I have for the sport. It's naturally coming back to me and I am having so much fun with it. We had our first games this past Saturday and we won both games and all of our matches. I was a little worried because at warm-up time we barely had 4 players and for those of you who don't know, you need 6 to play. By the grace of god we had 6 at game time and blew the first team away. Really, it was nothing. The second team we played gave us more of a challenge, but we came out on top! I am loving it and can't wait for practice tomorrow!

Today is Monday and that means I went back to work! It was nice seeing all my kiddos and I found out beginning of April I will be getting a significant increase in hours a day. I was working in the mornings at another daycare from 9am- 1:30pm and then going to All-Stars from 4pm- 6:30pm. Now I can finally be at All-Stars from 12pm- 6:30pm because one of the teachers will be on maternity leave. I am so thrilled about the increase in hours because it means more experience and obviously more money. We are also getting an influx of more children registering, so I see myself very soon going full-time from 8am-4pm. I really hope that happens because it would be awesome to not have to plan around sports and things all the time.


My cousin Lesley had her second baby today! Her name is Ella and she weighed 10lbs and 14oz!!! What the heck!!! Lol, that's bigger than Wes!! I am so happy for her!! She and her husband will continue to be amazing parents and raise their children in God's light!!



As always, I hope my time is coming soon, but I think God led me to everything that I am enjoying at this time in my life; school, work, volleyball, Wes's sports. I think if I didn't have these things going on, I would be going insane and I thank god for leading me to these things! For lent, I gave up 2 things: biting my nails and using OPKs! So far, I haven't touched my nails and that is so hard because I have always been a nail biter. Not using OPKs during lent is sooo freaking nice! I am not obsessing over DTD or thinking about DTD 24/7.

Anyway, it is way past my bedtime! Goodnight and Godbless.

Here Lately

So, it has been a long time since I have blogged. For one, I have been really busy and second, I felt if did blog it would be a rant about getting pregnant, and I'm so over those blogs.

I am still working and I really do love it, although it is not "Sweet Pea's Daycare" anymore. They unfortunately had to close there doors and it royally sucked having to leave all my kids who I grew so fond over. The owners of Sweet Pea's led me to a place called "All-Star Readers" and I could not be more happy. It is like a little school, but for toddlers and preschoolers. I work there in the afternoon,but I take Wes for Math class at 8:45am. He loves it and calls it his "schoolers." He is learning so much and I am completely impressed by this center. I used to have a whole different opinion on daycares/learning centers. I used to think how horrible it was, the sickness going around, the ill mannered children, all that mess. Wes's learning center is like none I have ever seen before. They don't stay in one room the whole day. They move around from center to center. They have 5 centers: the art center, the writing center, the literacy center, the math center, the science center, and outdoor play. He is learning to read; yes, you read that right! Read!! They are starting sight words Wes loves reading me his sight word books. He has such a new profound love for reading and books. To help foster this, Chris and I let Wes pick out one book every time we go to the store. We always read it that night for bedtime. I cannot believe he is learning all this at 3. It still amazes me. I will be working there in the mornings when one of the teachers goes on maternity leave at the end of this month. I cannot wait!


I am still continuing with my education. I am taking a History Class right now and I love it. Working with the smaller kids vs the older kids at Sweet Pea's has made me realize I may want to major in secondary education instead of elementary education. I am still debating the two.


Chris is officially getting out of the United States Army. His ETS date is the end of September. I was sort of scared, but now I could not be happier. The thought of going back home and raising Wes where I always saw myself raising my children is an amazing feeling. I am looking at this one catholic preschool and I am pretty sure Wes will be attending this one if we move back in the Birmingham area. I always wanted my children to go to a catholic school and it's coming true. I can't wait until he starts learning more about his faith and comes to love it as much as I do. Well, I hope he does. Chris isn't really the church going kinda guy, so I am really the one who is in charge of guiding Wes into the Catholic church. Can't wait!

Well, you know I had to write something about my PCOS, so here it is. I had a doctor's appointment March 1st and since I am still not pregnant, he wants to go in and drain my cysts. So, I go back beginning of April and get that scheduled. I missed the month of March for my period and finally started today. So excited. I was getting worried. You really don't realize the effects of no period until you have no period. I am not just worried about getting pregnant, but if I have too much build-up on my uterus from no period, I could get cancer. That scares me because I am not ready to leave this earth nor do I wanna leave my baby motherless.

I am going to try and blog at least every other day because I think it is great to get my thoughts out and they aren't swirling around in my head. Until next time<3
