Boo Winter!

Well winter finally reared it's ugly head here today in Wisconsin. The roads were terrible, I basically slid the whole way to work....sideways.

SO!
Onto the awesome news!
Ryne and I have been together for 10 amazing months! The best 10 months of mine and Lani's life and it's so exciting to know we will have many, many more months together!

Speaking of my super awesome, wonderful boyfriend....he surprised us and bought 3 tickets for Disneyland!! We are SO pumped!
I can't wait to go! Lani can't stop talking about the big castle and all of the princesses she will see because they all "live" in that castle :) she's so adorable.
I love my little family :)

Now....onto the BIG news!
I can't keep it in anymore, even though I'm not really supposed to say anything yet...who really reads this blog anyway? Not many people haha

So here it is....
We are....MOVING!!! To California!!! To finally be with Ryne all the time! Like a normal couple and family :) yay!
We are extremely excited. We have already signed a lease for a cute little house, 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. It's perfect for us!
My last day at work is February 3rd and we are leaving on the 4th and hopefully arriving the 7th or 8th! And my parents are going to be driving out with us before they head to their first vacation as a retired couple to Florida! Thank god for them following us because I am taking all 3 of my dogs and cat and that would NOT have worked in my little VW passat lol!

Lani is extremely excited to have her daddy around all the time...it's all I hear about at home. "my dad is in California!" "I'm going to live with my daddy in California!" she says California so cute too!

Alright well there it is people! I can finally say it! I'm moving! :) just wish I could share my happiness everywhere and with everyone (on Facebook). Soon enough.

Well it's 7:59 pm and I'm heading to bed! Lame I know but this weather makes me sooo sleepy!

Night everyone! Happy Tuesday :)

Whoops, been M.I.A all week

Sorry folks, I have been slacking but it was a very stressful week and until the last couple nights, I hadn't been getting much sleep at night. So no energy=bed right when I get home from work which meant no time to blog.

So, here's an update!
Unfortunately I STILL can't tell you the BIG news I have, though some of you have guessed it haha
Hopefully I can reveal the secret early next week since the BIG news takes in to effect in less than 3 weeks :)

Uh, let's see....
pretty busy week! Lot's of stress and the weather has done a complete 180! Going from 55 degrees at the beginning of the week down to 20's and lots of snow at the end of the week.
My school loan deferrment was accepted!! Thank god because I'm not in a place to start making $200 monthly payments on $30,000 worth of school loans.
I found out my tax return is going to be a great deal larger then I originally thought so that's SUPER exciting!
Today me and Lani went to see Beauty and the Beast 3D with my older sister and it was cute but I HATE wearing those 3D glasses :/
Oh also went shopping! I haven't bought myself clothes in probably almost a year and I had a little extra money so I bought myself a couple shirts, leggings and FLARE jeans. I haven't worn flare jeans in seriously years!! I've only ever worn skinny jeans but I finally found a pair of flare jeans that fit perfect and look nice on me, yay!

Alrighty well that was about all that you need to be caught up on my life, except for that BIG news haha but that'll come soon enough :)
Have a great Saturday everyone and I'll be on to post tomorrow because we are making fudge and oatmeal walnut milk chocolate chip cookies, yum!

"No one can walk backwards into the future"

My very life appropriate fortune today from lunch.
Lani's was pretty appropriate as well, "Understanding the nature of change, changes the nature"

We have some big changes coming up in our life and unfortunately I STILL can't go public with them yet. UGH its really killing me because it's exciting and I want to be able to tell everyone about it :(

Soon enough.

So today we are going through toys and clothes and getting rid of or donating things we do not use/wear. Pretty excited because I know we have a TON of stuff we don't use.

Today's a busy Sunday so I'll be keeping the blog short for today. Tomorrow I'll update a little more with pictures and things.

Have a great Sunday funday everyone!

TGIF!

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY!!
So excited to sleep in tomorrow, go to breakfast with my nana as usual and then taking Lani to soccer practice :)

....then it'll definitely be a relaxing day of doing nothing but hanging out and playing/watching movies.
There's a lot going on right now and my stresses are finally semi-relieved so until I add more to my plate, which will happen in the very near future, I'm going to relax while I can.

My wonderful boyfriend sent me a couple seasons of Pete and Pete today in the mail and I am so excited! The other night we spent like 2 hours playing the "guess this 90's tv show theme song" and we both LOVE this show. So he was his very sweet self, and surprised me by sending me a couple seasons :)
We are currently skyping and watching it together!

Anyway,
pretty simple Friday.
Not much to say and not much going on.

Have a great Friday night everyone!

Spilled the beans!

Well the beans have been spilled on the big news to several people but it still isn't ready to be announced to everyone just yet.

I know the suspense is killing you! But, soon enough everyone will know :)

Nap time means blog time so here it is folks...day 5!
This morning my daughter was such a goof. Im in the shower:
Lani: *knocking on bathroom door* "MAMA! can I have fruit snacks pleasaaase!"(I had told her no earlier)

Me: "No! That is not a breakfast food!"

Lani: "PLEASEEEEEE!"

Me: "Fine! Go ahead"

Lani: *starting to walk downstairs then runs back up**knocking on the door again!* "can I have some cookies too??"

Me: "HA! nice try!"

Lani: "Ah man!" *stomps down stairs*

The fact that my child already knows how to try to negotiate is scary! She is way too smart for her own good! But it made me crack up and put a smile on my face for the day :) this was after I got home from the gym at 7 am and lani started an intense pillow fight with me haha
Like i said, never a dull moment with her :)

Well let's see....
It's Thursday! Yay! Done with work early today to take Lani to the doctor then only one more work day and it's the weekend!!

Have a great day everyone!

Hump Day.

It's Wednesday! Halfway through the week and halfway to the weekend!

The kids are napping so I have some time to blog and get portfolios done :) because I know since tonight isn't bath night, I won't have more than 2 seconds to myself haha
Today has been kind of a relaxed day. Explored ice cold water and hot water with my class, which got very interesting when the entire bucket was knocked over and water covered the table and floor! But they had a lot of fun.
Yesterday we adding food coloring to water in ice cube trays and made colored ice cubes and watched them melt together and push then around in a bucket. The kids loved it! Definitely something easy and free to try with your kids to keep then entertained :)

This summer I remember saying everyday at work that I would much rather put on snow gear on the kids instead of sunscreen.....I was sooo wrong. Getting 4 two year olds all bundled up is quite the challenge!

Well stayed tuned in case I get a chance to blog tonight because the big news may be revealed :)

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Day 3

Welp! The holidays are officially done and over including all of the nice 3-4 day weekends :( but it's nice to be back in a normal routine at work! I'm such a freak about routines, I get all flustered if just one thing is thrown off.

I was so busy today, this is the first time today I've actually been able to sit for more than 2 minutes....only because lani is in a bubble bath pretending to be a mermaid and a rubber ducky doctor :) such a goof!
Never a dull moment with that one!
Hmmm..what to blog about...

Oh! Many entertaining moments with my class of 2 year olds today. Seriously, I could write a book full of hilarious quotes from them. LOVE my job!

So lots of big things are happening this week! None that I can reveal just yet by hopefully by Friday everything will be able to be out in the open for everyone to see :) so stay tuned because it's some pretty major stuff! Exciting stuff.

Well looks like the mermaid is getting a tad pruned so time to take the fish out of water and get her to bed so I can relax, Skype with Ryne and make him watch teen mom with me hehe :)

Have a great night everyone and check the blog out tomorrow!
