Irony

Realizing your period is due to start on mothers day. Heres to hoping I have my first mothers day in 2014.

Sorry

I know it's been a while and a lot has happened I hope to do a massive update soon. But right now I want to vent. I went to the Docs on Friday because I have a major cold/cough (possible pneumonia) And I also asked if I could have provera to restart my cycle. The Doc said I should just go on birth control. To which I said "but I'm trying to get pregnant." He looked at me and said "you're only 21, why would you want kids?" And then he said he wouldn't do any types of treatments until I had a pregnancy test done. So I did. Today I had to called him to get results (negative) only to find out from the front desk that he got them on Friday and didn't call. I suffered all (Easter) weekend when I could have been taking meds. Also now I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing about my cough. Do I make a new appointment or just go to the ER.


I am soo happy that we will be out of here soon. San Antonio just keeps looking better and better.

The picture is where my body should be at if I did all my calculations according to my last period. Instead I'm on cycle day 113.

Twenty Thirteen

Welcome to the new year. Yes I know I am a day late, but, better than never right? This is my Resolution post. I am hoping that by posting this, the people who read my blog can help me to stay on track with several things. You all have full permission to pester me via Facebook, texting, email,  on here, or in person. 

First things first, my 60 lbs to freedom. Yup, I plan to get rid of (not loose because I never want to find those pounds again) 60 pounds in 6 months, that's 10 lbs a month.

Whose with me?

Before pic. 190 lbs BMI of 31.6

For every 10 I get rid of and keep off for a week I get a treat worth that amount, so when I get to 180 I get something worth $10, 170= $20 160=$30 and so on. None of the rewards have anything to do with food.

Number 2. Read the whole Bible this year. I have never done this before and am really looking forward to it.

Number 3. Levi and I are going Paleo. We are slowly transitioning into this new lifestyle. As of right now we are finishing up things we have in the house, and once they are gone, they are gone. Some of the things that will be missed the most are bread for sandwiches and sugar in our coffee. We think we may still have milk and cheese, just because that is where we get he majority of our calcium. We have been on organic milk for the last year and will be buying organic cheese (when I can find it).

Number 4. No T.V on days that start with T. We do not have cable, but we do have Netflix and we tend to spend a few hours watching shows and movies every night. So on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the TV will be unplugged. We plan on using this time to do projects together, read books, play games, walk Titus, all in all just to spend more "face time" together. 

Number 5. This new year marks the "official' two year mark for trying to conceive. This year I will not dwell on the fact that I'm not pregnant and I won't fall into depression again and again.I will not be glued to my fertility tracker and I will not make Sex a chore. I will be happy and content and know that I will have kids someday. 

Number 6. Learn my trade better and use my talent for my benefit, and not doubt myself just because someone I know doesn't  use my business.

This one isn't really a resolution but we plan on being more frugal with our money. What with our trip to Disney World in March, moving to San Antonio in July, and wanting to go to Washington  for Christmas 2013, we can't spend money the way we are used to doing.

Here's to an amazing Year 2013. 

Christmas in Gulfport

After a long drive on the 21st, we made it to Gulfport at 3 in the morning, Levi and I met our nephew for the first time. Levi's sister and brother in law just moved back from Japan where Josh was stationed for the last few years.

Truxtin's first birthday

Some of the things we did while we in the south

I made Aunt Tammy's frosting for sugar cookies

And I thought Truxtin would like some on his binkie

Zach licked all the spoons 

Josh kept stealing the cookies before they were frosted 

This little man wants to be held, or is running around like crazy 

Irelynn getting the cookie cutters ready

Me helping Jacen 

Titus wanted to help too 

Reading the kiddos the Nativity story 

Decorating cookies for Santa 

Christmas morning see what Santa left 

Proof I was there 

My Father in Law is deployed right now, but he was able to FaceTime with us the whole morning. 

The big boys got nerf guns 

Levi and I took the two older ones to a park on the beach

Jacen wanted to see the water

Levi and I were going to leave in the 27th but I got sick and now we are heading back on the 29th

Denial

This whole "I don't want to start a serious work out program because I don't want to hurt a could be pregnancy" is a load of crap that I need to stop hiding behind. I weigh the same as when I started the biggest loser completion this fall. New year, new habits, new beginnings, new adventures. End mini rant.

Thankful 11-18

#11 For Sarabeth and Luke, our youth group co-leaders, with out them the group may have fallen apart.

#12 For all the men and women who have served, are serving, or will serve to protect the people of the United States of America.

#13 For books, they are my mini get aways when all I can afford is a library card. Ha ha ha.

#14 For seasons, for the first 18 years of my life I lived in states with one maybe two seasons. Now in Virginia I have been blessed to live in them all.

#15 For my grandma Cathy who took the time when I was young to teach me how to things like sew and have a love for all things craft. And that we still talk to each other at least once a week.

#16 for our new phones, I can now rely on Levi's phone to get my texts.

#17 for the National Zoo, a wonderful place the spend the day with two active little boys

# 18 the option to worship our Savior at home in the car at a movie theater or in a sanctuary.

Thankful 9 and 10

I am thankful for my husband who puts up with my crazy whims and spends a friday night shopping with me to make a mini portable photography studio and then spends the next day helping me make it.

An idea of how it looks

an idea I am working on for my grandmas challenge 

I love love love Levi.
Of course there are many many many more reasons why I am thankful for my hubby, but those are just two examples for the last two days.
