This Week = So Done

This week has been crazy busy for me. I would have never guessed I would stay this busy being a stay at home wife. How did I ever get anything done when I was working full time?? Oh yeah I didn't...I think after tomorrow I will be completely caught up on housework and after Sunday I will be finished with classes!! This week has been full of making phone calls, setting appointments, filling out applications, school work and house work. I am not going to lie, I kind of like this whole stay at home thing...until I run out of things to do that is. Some girls I worked with surprised me with a baby shower on Wednesday. I thought just a few of us were going out to lunch to have some girl time and gossip. It was funny how it went down and I was totally surprised. Brooke insisted on picking me up from my house so I just went with it and did not argue. We were all suppose to ride together but when Brooke picked me up she told me Bri and Lauren were not ready yet and we would go pick them up at Bri's house. On the way there Brooke was telling me how Bri forgets or loses everything so when we arrived at Bri's house and she ran outside all stressed cause she couldn't find her keys I thought nothing of it. We go into Bri's house and everyone yell surprise. There was about 8 or 9 people there and her house was decked out in baby stuff. I feel so very blessed to have these women in my life. I have known them for a little over 6 months and they have been such a blessing. Most women would not do things like this for co-workers or friends they have had for such a short period of time. The things they have done for me and my family I can't say my best friend would have done (She is kind hearted but different then these women). I know God has put them in my life for a reason and I am starting to see why because I am learning so much from them (More on that later). Today McHunny and I had our maternity pictures done so stay tuned for the pictures as soon as I get them:) I hope each and everyone of you have a blessed weekend!

Update

Since I last updated many things have changed. We are currently living in Georgia but hoping to move back to Florida in the up coming months. My husband is currently working for a fire department here in GA and I just became a stay at home wife this past week. I was not planning to quit working but because of some unforeseen issues at work I was forced to no longer work. I was upset when it all happened and how it happened but now I am beginning to look at it as a blessing. I get to stay home and keep the house clean, cook dinner for my husband every night that he is not working and focus on getting ready for our beautiful little girl to enter this world.

We still have Seamus and have had him for a little over a year. We could never imagine our life without him because he is such an amazing dog. Unfortunately while I was going through the hard time with work my husband was away with the Army for a few days and Seamus was really there for me. He knew something was wrong while I was crying and just constantly wanted to cuddle with up with me. McHunny and I are looking forward to him meeting the baby and know he is going to love her. We are always going to make sure Seamus knows he is part of the family and not an outsider once the baby gets here.

My sister and mom held a baby shower for me on March 10th and it was amazing! Most of my close friends and family were there and it was so perfect. I have been to many baby showers before but I have to say mine had great food, great decor and great people that just showered Kinslee and I with gifts. Oh and it was not boring with stupid games like others I have been to ;) I could not believe how generous everybody was and just really appreciate them.

I feel like more has happened but can not think of anything else so for now that is all and I will soon post pics of Kinslee's room and my belly.

It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since my last post. I had gotten so busy with working full time, being a full time student and a wife that I totally forgot about my blog. Many things have changed and I am no longer working therefore should have more time to update my blog more often.

I am 35 weeks pregnant and can not wait to meet our little girl in a short 5 weeks. I am so in love with being pregnant, it is the most amazing thing I have experienced. Within the next few days I will get you guys caught up on our lives but for now I am going to go lay on the couch and watch some trashy TV ;)

My goals for 2012

My goals for 2012 are:

Stop biting my nails- I'm going to meet this goal by keeping my finger nails painted cause I wont bite them when they are painted.
Keep a cleaner and more organized house- I'm going to meet this goal by doing something everyday and once a week tackle something that needs to be organized
Graduate college- I'm going to meet this goal by passing all my classes and set up an appointment with an adviser
Put money in our savings-Every day when I deposit my tips I'm going to put 10% in our savings
Be a good mother to Kinslee- I'm going to do this by loving her and doing whats best for her at all times
Become a better person overall- I'm going to reach this goal by becoming more positive, be nice and helpful to others, and always ask help from god to help me become a better person
Become closer with god- Read and try to understand the bible more (this is hard for me) and watch online services to learn more.
Blog more often- I'm going to reach this goal by posting at least once a week about my pregnancy and once Kinslee gets here continue to post once a week to update her growing up.

I think my goals a pretty basic and nothing hard to do I just have to stay motivated.
Happy new year everybody and good luck with all your goals!!!

Happy New Year!!!

This past year has been crazy with many ups and downs but overall a good year. 2012 is going to be a great year!! We are expecting our 1st daughter at the end of May. I have many goals for 2012 but thats another post. Just wanted to drop in and say happy new year. I spent NYE at work but got home to Seamus just in time to give him kisses (I love his doggy kisses). McHunny had to work so it was just Seamus and I.

Hope everyone has a great year!!!
