SEEMS

It seems I'm not a very good blogger at all... I know it... you know it.. life gets way too crazy especially this summer. My hubby and I are working on our basement.. We just finished framing and building a fireplace/ entertainment system.. now we are drywalling. It has taken about 2 weeks but we're getting it done. Nia is being such a big girl about it also she's such a good girl (sometimes). We love our new home and our life!!!

CHECK IT OUT!!!

I'm so proud of my hair... its healthier than ever and getting super long... Its so hard keeping my hair soft and smooth in the air of Utah.. but I'm doing it.. check it out!! Look at all those beautiful curls!!

Twilight

Well as if you haven't noticed yet.. I am a Twilight fan... what can I say... I love Edward!!!. Honestly I haven't read a book since High School... but I sat down and read Twilight and I couldnt stop until I read the last book!! I even read the start of Moonlight (I think that was the name of the book Stefanie started about Edwards experiece in the first book, unfortunatly shes not going to finish that book... so sad!!!) Well it took me a week to read all the books and the next week I read them over again... Yes Edward is my brand narcotic!!! Well besides Twilight.. life is good.. Nia is growing everyday and speaking new words continuously.. she says "bless you, thank you, love you, pray, sorry, she counts to 3, she knows A B C, she says grandma, papa, and my favorite... beat yo butt!" She is a trip and a half... Dad is good he loves school and continues to support us in every way possible.. Not to mention Nia has him wrapped around her little fingers... I need to learn so techniques from her.. maybe if I pooped in my pants... cried when I was hungry and spit milk in his face I would get my way too!! What do you think??? Naw.. might not work after all.. her probably would think I was crazier than I really am! Well we found a new home here in tooele and hopefully we will be closing on it this week... we love it so much.. 5 bdrm and a basement that Zo can finish and its in a wonderful neighborhood!! Right behind Walmart... Yeah!! We knew this would be our home when we walked into Nia's room and she said "ohh..wee" Her room is huge with a beautiful playhouse and a slide on it... she's going to have so much fun in there!! We are so excited to open that new chapter in our lives. Well I sure cant believe I'm turning 25 in eight days... (well I guess those of you who know me better know I lied... so what I'm turning 26.. whose counting... if you are... you probably need a life... haahahaha) So I'll be turning 25:). It crazy how time flies by huh... Well I'll do better at updating... but as of now I'm reading Host by Stephanie Meyer.. and its taking a little longer to get into it than I expected... but I'm going to go read now!! We pray for all our family and friends and we hope youre doing well..

Whats New in the New Year

We sure hope everyone had a merry christmas and a happy new year. Just wanting to update everyone. We are not in our new home yet, there seems to be delays with the loan company due to holidays and misguided timing on their part. It sucks. but what can you do. By the time they told us it was being delayed until after the new year we had already packed up our home, took down our Christmas tree and packed up all of our Christmas presents, needless to say we were pissed!!! Well afterwards... our friends Jill and Aaron came to the rescue saving Christmas with two wonderful prelit Christmas trees so that we could at least have our trees. Its good to have wonderful friends especially ones you can vent to.. Thanks Jill, Tati, and Becca. Well Nia had the best christmas ever... she is so spoiled.. but she deserves it!! Shes surely a daddys girl!! Well we love our little family and all the laughs we share. I swear life would be boring without laughter.. and we do lots of that in this neck of the woods. Well we'll post some pics later... yeah when Christmas came around we were out of batteries for the camera so we had to video tape our Christmas this year!! That will come in handy when we make our video for our parents at the end of this year.. well I'm just rambling on. but its fun to do it. We'll keep yall updated on the home. Nia is getting so big she's about 15 months and she loves to eat.. she says "umm" to everything she eats.. it makes me excited to cook. Shes learning everyday she says "purple, duckie, baby, Quita-(the name of her black baby doll we spent months looking for her in utah),and she says "nana- (short for bananas)" She's such a smart baby. Well we start back work this monday. I'm taking on 2 jobs.. one at Utah State Extention in tooele with the IT team. I basically make sure that the broadcasting classes on Mon-Weds from 4:30-10:30pm are ran smoothly and I also have a job interview as a nursing assitant on thurs-sun helping 2 clients with down syndrome around their home.. its only for 2-5 hours a day, which i'm really excited for also.. both jobs are afternoon jobs which is a plus because we wont need a babysitter for Nia. Well thats whats going on with us for now.. Zo and I are more in love than ever.. we're going on 9yrs of being together and 3yrs of being married... and we're still so much in love....what a life!!
