Almost three...

Wow! What a few weeks can do. My son will be three next week. My precious baby will be three. He has been so cute this week. He was so sweet. Monday, he told me that my butt was too fat to sit on his chair. The only man who could ever say that and its cute. not for long, but, still cute for now.
I am so proud of the things he's learning. He is going through an unbelieveable learning phase. He has recited things this week that blow my mind. He's so smart. I am astounded everyday by the things he says. I amost cried today when he sat up on my lap and told me how much he loved me. What a huge blessing!

new adventures.

Life has been so crazy lately. I have had ups and downs and everything just in the last week. There have been hard days and even harder days. I read an interesting bumper sticker on myspace a few days ago, and it's really been on my mind. "A man should have to get to know God to really find a woman's heart." I know its cheesy, but really its true. I have been so pulled to serving at central and I am so lame I haven't even filled out the paperwork. My head just isn't in the game, or it is too far in, either way, Its time for a few new adventures. Next week I will fill out the paperwork and get everything covered and done. I need to get it done. I want to serve and i know the blessings will be tremendous. Next, I have to be more serious about school. I need to go see the counsellors and get a major declared and get a game plan together. We talked about not giving up on our dreams today, and i won't give up on mine, I just need to figure out what they are. Either way, I must go. Sorry about the random ramblings, hope all is well my loves!

Aiden's first beach trip

Aiden went to the beach for the very first time this last weekend. He absolutely loved it! He is full of great stories and smiles about his California adventures. He even told me on the way back to our apartment that he would like the window rolled down so he could get all of the sand out of his hair. He later informed me that he would like the sand washed from his "butt crack" and his new fascination are the too-big sandals his daddy bought him with the secret compartment. He had a wonderful time and I am so proud of him for being so big! I love him so much and boy did I miss him!

Enough crappy people please!

So recently I have found myself to be rather cranky. I have been entirely too ready to sound off about all of the crappy men that the wonderful women in my life choose to keep around. I don't really understand why they choose to, and I don't really understand why I feel the need to tell people what pieces of crap these guys are. I guess it all boils down to the fact that I am pretty sick of having poor quality people in my life and realistically, if they are choosing to be with crappy people, they too are settling for less than what they deserve and ultimately less than who they are. It's unacceptable and this is my last sound off to speak of it, from now on, everyone gets a "he/she is nice, see you soon" you know the kind you don't really mean, but its sincere enough to satisfy their feelings. Either way, I am sick of it, I won't have it, and I won't allow that example for my son. So people, either step it up, or step out!

bittersweet

Its kind of interesting. This word seems to be defining so much of my life right now. For instance, our dog had to be put to sleep a month or so ago. Some would say no big deal to this, but if you had any idea the significance of this dog and what she has meant to my family, you would understand the loss. The sweet end of that story is that we got a new dog today. She is cute and dad really seems to like her which is great, but she is no Al.
Next, moving, man I love my roomie and my new apartment and everything that has come along with it, except the break-in and buglary of my car, but we won't go there. Its beautiful and i Love my new little life. Then comes the bitter end, in my move, I have let go of my family a little more. Thats kind of a good thing, but again its just a little bittersweet.
Work is pretty good, until I actually have to, then it sucks. I love the job, I just wish I had to do it a little less frequently. I love my management team, but they too have some things that make me really unhappy.
My son is amazing. I love to watch him grow and do new things,but everyday he gets closer to being a rebellious teen, then an adult. This sounds great, and i wouldn't trade it for the world, but man I miss his infant cry, and his baby cuddles. I love it when he looks at me and tells me how much he loves me out of the blue though. Its priceless. He is incredible.
There are so many pieces to this puzzle we call life, So many emotions, and usually they all drop on us at once. never just happy, or just sad, never just bitter, or just sweet, ALWAYS somewhere in between!

A new beginning

I never thought I would be blogging, but it seems to be much easier than journaling and definitely easier to keep up with everyone.
Easter is coming and I am so excited! I can't wait to watch Aiden hunt this year! He is getting so big and so smart! It amazes me that he remembers so much.
This week Nan has been working very diligently on the potty training thing. It has become quite normal for him. He's not out of diapers just yet, but we're moving in the right direction.
He loves to play with other children. he loves going to church. Finally, no screaming when we pull in to the parking lot. And he is so excited to go to his class! It makes it so much easier for me to go and learn and study when I know he is safe and happy.
ACN is amazing. i am so grateful for the company and the opportunity to make a difference while building my own wealth.
I have been reading, well, listening to a couple of great books lately. I recommend audio books to everyone. They are so much more fulfilling than music and quite honestly, they offer so much more than your standard song.
Off to work I go. Hope all is well for all of you!
