Hunter,
Happy Birthday handsome little man!!! Mom and I picked out a ninja turtle balloon for you. We can't believe you are 5 years old already. We hope you had a wonderful birthday up there with LylLeigh, Lochlan and Uncle Robert! We love you and think of you everyday!

Love, Your Momma

So much for new year resolutions...

Haha...That whole 80 day challenge, it lasted maybe 5 days. However, that doesn't mean I've lost my complete nerve. I still want to strive to eat healthy and work out, maybe just not doing it as a plan (the working out that is). There will be times of falling off the wagon, but the importance is keeping up the effort and getting back on the wagon. Wish me luck!

As far as how the moving is coming along. We are getting there. Currently we live with my mom and we would love a place of our own. Looks like Tera will be moving first, and the rest of us will follow shortly after. Granted, looks like we won't be buying a house yet, but we will get there.

Just wanted to check in!

It's been a long time

Almost a year later and so much has changed. Where to start?

Tera and I got married on a rainy day this past August. Everything was perfect, and we are enjoying married life (not that it is any different from before except now we are wives)! We are trying to get a house, and so it looks like we'll be moving in the next 6 months, but we'll see how it all pans out. 

Due to moving, Tera is at Starbucks being a barista and I'm working as a CNA at a long term care facility. This is so it's easy for us to transfer, which gives us flexibility for our next adventure. Also, to add to the list, we're going to Mexico in three weeks as a late honeymoon! I can't wait. 

Main reason why I'm writing, is that even though it's a little late for New Year Resolutions, I have decided to  make a new me resolution. I have had a stubborn 10 lbs I want to lose (as of today 11 lbs), but I sit right around the same number, and I'm tired of it. I thought I was strong (considering my line of work), but I know I'm not fit to my potential. I found a workout that is 80 days, if you don't miss a day. If you miss a day, start over from the last day you did and go from there. I'm really interested in trying it out.

So, as Day 1: 136 lbs

Where life is going...

It is amazing how much can change in so little time. My beautiful bride to be, Tera, just start school last week. She seems to be enjoying it so far, yet it's pretty boring at the moment. Soon it will be interesting, and actually she'll be learning what she's there for, to become an automotive mechanic. I should be starting a CNA job soon, which is super exciting. Also, the count-down is on. Four months and five days to go! I can't believe that soon I'm going to be married (again). We just moved in with my mom two weeks ago to help save some money. Lastly, we just got our engagement photo session done yesterday. I can't wait to see those photos!

Happy Birthday LylLeigh!!!

A day late, but not a day out of my mind. So yesterday I didn't have a chance to write this, as I was busy for a good majority of the day taking my CNA Boards. But yesterday, my baby girl had her 4th heavenly birthday. I cannot believe it's been four years since we said goodbye to what could have been. LylLeigh Clair Mae, Mommy loves you very much.

As I said, I took my boards yesterday, for certified nursing assistant and PASSED! I'm officially a CNA in Colorado. One step closer to having my life figured out. (I'll still be working at Starbucks for awhile.)

My First Post

Haha...this isn't really my first post...ever, but I'm starting a new blog. Why? Because since I posted on my last blog, so many things have changed. So, a little about me in my current state of life, is that I'm busy and loving it...

After almost two years of being married and three losses, my ex-husband told me that we didn't have the same life goals. Yes, the losses were hard and he didn't want to go through that pain anymore. I get it, but I have always wanted to be a mother. Not having children, was never an option for me. Also, he didn't want to dwell on it. But I want to remember them. We named them, we went through so much pain and heartache, I want to talk about them, they are my children. So, when I refer to LylLeigh, Hunter and Lochlan, they are my angel babies.

Also, I actually met someone new and one thing (of the many) that I love about her, is that she thinks of my losses as babies. I can talk about them, miss them and she is okay with it. Her name is Tera and we are happily engaged. We live in a tiny cabin. And I mean tiny. It has one bedroom, one bathroom, and the living, kitchen and dining area is almost one small shared space. For now though, it is home. And Tera is so amazing, she has helped so much in making it our space, and having a home-like feel to it. We share our tiny cabin with our three adorable furbabies.

This picture has just two of them, Milo (4) and Ferrari (about 3 months in this picture). Ferrari is almost 8 months now, and bigger than her big brother. Our other furbaby, Shadow, is a cat who keeps mostly to herself, because she isn't a fan of dogs,

A little more about me, I love to cook, read, play cards and watch movies. I  have a degree in Early Childhood Education, but currently work as a Starbucks Barista while being in school. I finished training for a CNA license, but will soon take the boards in hopes to one day become a nurse.

Anyway, I hope to write about life's journey and maybe some random things along the way. Thanks for joining me on this adventure!
