A new adventure

Well it's been a little over 2 1/2 years since I wrote. This time I actually have tons to write about. Life has changed drastically and it's only going to change even more come 3/16/13. We no longer have our pups. Late October last year we made a very hard decisions to surrender the dogs. They were becoming to much for us to handle. Digging became a serious issues and Gator would not listen to me. His anxiety was getting a lot worse and Luis was the only one that could handle him. I'm proud to say we made a GREAT choice. They both went to terrific homes. Gator went to a home where the family works from home and gets so much attention that the anxiety is not an issue. Roxy went to a home with a single man that lives on tons of property where she runs and runs everyday. That's all she needs. God grated us with the faith and courage to know we will did what we know is best. If you your wondering, no we have any animals at this time. Even though I get asked every day from Luis if we can get one, I'm strong on my word. One day will be our day again. Maybe when are child asked if we can have one then I'll break down. But until then its just us plus baby! That's right I said child. WE EXPECTING!!! I'm so thrilled and feel blessed that god has chosen this time for us. We have had baby fever for a while now. God knew when the best time would be and its now. On 7/6/12 I was two days late and I just knew I was pregnant. That Friday evening I took a pregnancy test. The second line was very fate but it was there. I was filled with joy. After I took the test Luis was in the shower so I set the test and a onesie on the counter next to the sink so he could see it when he got out of the shower. I was laying on the bed so I could still see his reaction, when he got out he saw it and was like it this real? I screamed, "YES!" He told me, "the line is to light and I want another test." I explained it won't be as strong when I test in the evening. Which you learn from all the books you read when trying. So we went to bed early that evening with huge smiles on our faces. I woke up at 4am and took another test and went back to bed. Luis saw it when he woke up and yes there was TWO STRONG lines. We were so excited. Through out the week thats all him and I talked about.

The next weekend, we told our parents. Everyone was ecstatic! We asked them not to say a word until I was further along. I was only 5 weeks from my calculation. I called the doctor and made an appt. It was schedule for 8/7/12. And was it forever away.

It's over!!!

Wow it been forever since I posted. I am going to tyr and keep up since this is like my life journal! The waiting game is over. Even though it felt like forever before we got our income tax money back, it really only took a month an half. Thank goodness! So, now that we have spent all the money on things for the house our adventure of stress is over. We absolutely love our new house!!! We call it new because it really feels new after the hardwood floor, fence, couch and a new washer and dryer. God has truly blessed us. It will be a year, yes a YEAR in May that we have moved into our home. Doesn’t that sound crazy? It doesn’t feel like it has been that long but like everyone says, “time flies when your having fun!” I bet your wanting to know how do the dogs like the fence, the hardwood floor and couch because both our daily lives have changed. The fence is AWESOME. Gator & Roxy love to play, dig, eat the grass, poop A LOT ( poop duty is what Luis and I ask each other to clean up the mess twice a week.), chase birds and bugs, play fetch and sun bathe. The hardwood is beautiful but the dogs nails are loud. Gator is always walking around because he can’t keep comfortable. Why?? Because they are not allowed on the couch anymore. Everyone said, “your never going to be able to break that habit” But we did. The dogs haven’t been on the couch at all. It is very nice when we have guest over. So get ready guest to come over!!!

We keep asking ourselves what is next.. Luis had his last college class Tuesday 4/20 and will be graduating May 21st to become an Electrician!!! Congrats honey!!!! Now we just need him to pass the big big exam to be able to go any where to work and make better money.

Waiting!!!

It's that time of year that everyone hates to file and then hates waiting to get their money back. INCOME TAX! All I have to say is thank you Obama even though it's probably putting us more into debt it will relieve tons from stress from our lives. lol

We filed on Thursday but I had to mail the income tax papers for the first time ever. Which did you know it takes 4 to 6 wks before you can even check to see if they have received it and then 4 to 6 wks to get your refund back. All I keep telling myself is I have waited this long to get a fence I guess I can wait a little longer. We are super excited since we will receive the first time home buyer credit. We have agreed since it is for us buying a house we will use it towards the home. We are going to purchase hardwood floors, a fence, resoding the front and a doggie door. The fence is a must because the dogs need a space to run which is the whole reason we bought a home. The hardwood floors you can say there not a must but if you were to come see the carpet, your first reaction would be YUCK! The floors are just going in the main living area (living room, entry way, kitchen and hallways). This year we will be improving more and more. Our plan is to paint the kicthen, add a back splash and hopefully start the in the guest bathroom. It's going to be an exciting year just like last year.
Before and after pictures to come!!!

First time apart after the wedding!

This week has been a hard week for Luis and I. I left Wednesday Jan 13 for NC to visit my brother and sister, so it was the first time we have been apart from each other since we got married. We have done really well but it definetaly was a change. I will be leaving Monday night 1/18 which I don't want to leave but at the same time I can't wait to see my husband.

Any who, while I have been here it he has been home taking care of the dogs and the house. And me you ask, Wednesday I got here in the evening and to a surprise that my was awesome. My brother and sister both picked me up which was very sweet. Thursday, we hung out around the houses and I played with all my nephews and nieces. If you didn't know my brother and sister live on the same base, same neighborhood and the best they our neighbors. Friday, I went ice skating with Andrew, Leigh, Curtis, Andie and Erin (The D'Amicos)...Then, I babysat for Brooke and Matt while they ran some errands. Saturday, all the sisters (Brooke, Leigh and me) went to get mani's, pedi's and massages. Which was awesome!!! Thank you Brooke!!! Today, I went to church with The D'Amicos and came back to play hair with Andie and Erin. Tomorrow we will just take it easy and be at the airport by 5 pm. I am so sad to leave but happy to see Luis and our dogs.
