So my goal this month was to start cooking a LOT more and when we went grocery shopping I bought things that I'd be able to cook! This week was the week I started working towards completing that goal. Starting tuesday morning I cooked pigs in a blanket, tuesday night I cooked biscuits & gravy. Wednesday night I cooked Chicken Tenders, Green Beans & Fettucini alfredo, and then tonight I cooked something simple, Potatoes stroganoff(hamburger helper) & corn.
I am SO proud of myself. To some this must be no great accomplishment, but to me, it is. My fiance is normally the one who cooks so to be able to provide him with a home cooked meal every night when he gets home is something I treasure. It's fun because I don't tell him what I'm fixing him for dinner that night, he gets home and it's either done or nearly finished, and he doesn't have to do anything!

Lately
Since I am home mon-friday by myself with Madyn, I have all day long to eat whatever I want to and whenever I want. I feel like I am gaining weight, but I don't have an accurate scale, and I have no way of exercising until after my fiance gets home which is late. Right now when he gets home its dark outside, and there's no way that I will walk by myself to the front of the apartment complex to do any exercising. Basically I'm in a predicament. I want badly to lose weight. I want to be down to about 125-120ish. . . I'm a lil heavier then that though.
Brandon likes to poke my tummy whenever I'm sitting down, and even though he's trying to be playful. . . It still hurts me inside. I have worked really hard to try and keep my weight down after having Madyn 3 years ago, and I don't want that to change.
What can I do to lose weight? I don't over indulge in "bad" foods, I'm only drinking diet sodas. I've also started drinking a lot more milk lately too.
Basically if you have any suggestions. . . I'm all ears!!!!*or eyes* :P

Larger than life!
Yes, I am talking about the backstreet boys song "Larger than life!" I'm listening to Pandora radio right now and it came on!
It instantly brought back high school memories. I remember one morning before our band/colorguard competition we (the guard--9 of us!) all got into my friends SUV and BLASTED backstreet boys "larger than life" and drove to QT (quicktrip) to get energy drinks!! It was so much fun!!!
And right now I'm talking to one of my friends that I met freshmen year of high school. It just hit me how much I miss my freshmen year of high school at times.
High school shaped my life mostly. It was in high school that I experienced heart break, and it was in high school when I first started learning to drive. A lot of stuff happened in high school and changed my view on some things. I am glad that I experienced everything that I did in high school.
I was almost a senior when I had my beautiful baby boy. My "Rei" of sunshine. Given the chance to go back I would decline.

Our Christmas was wonderful, and my new years was amazing. I enjoyed 2 strawberry margaritas and a glass of champagne. Madyn crashed early and it was just adults playing video games until midnight. At midnight we celebrated with a glass of champagne and some noise makers and lil firecracker things in the back yard.
I think this year will truely be an amazing year!! :)

Summary of my 2009
My year started off great!
In January I turned 20 & celebrated it with my family/friends. Brandon took me Ice Skating which I really enjoyed & wished I could do it a lot better.
In March I got my license. . . I was wearing a lucky charms shirt that said "feeling lucky?" on it. . . Kind of Ironic in my eyes.
In May I graduated high school & got my high school diploma! Yay me!
One of the girls I worked with at my first job & my closest friend had her baby girl May 3rd. Little Miss Mia Ana. She's a bundle of joy and I can't believe how big she's getting!!!
In June we went up north to see Grandma's cabin. It rained while we were up there.. . We camped in Brandon's truck tent. It was fun.
When July 6, rolled around Madyn turned 3 years old!!! We had two separate parties this year. One at Brandon's mom's house & One at his gigi's house. He was really good.
After he turned 3 I really started focusing on getting him potty trained.. . This continued to be my primary focus.
In August my friend from high school had her first baby. Mr Andrew Jared! Even though I have yet to see him, from the pictures he's a cuuuuute lil boy!
When September rolled around Madyn & I were living with Brandon again. It felt so nice to be back in bed beside him every night again. There's NO way we'll go back to living apart.
In October we took Madyn Trick or Treating in his little batman costume. . . I swear he was the cutest lil guy out there!!! SO polite and he walked about a mile & a half so he did really good!!!
November was thanksgiving with the families. My cousin Josh was back from Iraq. It was SO good to see him!!!!
December. . . Well this month we took our trip to california. I am hoping Madyn will remember this trip, but even if he doesn't remember we took a lot of pictures and I'm scrapbooking the pictures, so at least he'll be able to look back on them.
In 2010:
Things I hope for Madyn
--begin the foundation for reading by himself,
--get ready for preschool & kindergarten
For Me:
--Lose at least 5 lbs at the most 10.
--I don't want to argue with Brandon.
--Scrapbook More & take more pictures
--take madyn out of the apartment for at least 1 hour
--buy a car
--Save for a house
--GET A FULL TIME JOB

The End.
We're back from our trip, Christmas is over, and all of our Christmas decorations are already put away!!!
This year has been absolutely amazing. At times tough, but 98% of this year was breathtaking.
My biggest proudest moment is the fact that I was able to completely potty train Madyn. He even is 100% potty trained at night. He does have the occaisonal accident if he's given liquids too late, or too much liquid that his body doesn't use! However, he does know to get up and use the bathroom and can do it by himself even!!!
This year Madyn turned three years old!! He's the oldest out of all my friends babies, and I enjoy this fact at times, because of this I am able to offer advice if needed. I also don't have to bring my whole life with me when I go out anymore. Just a cup, and some snacks are all I generally need to bring anywhere!! Woo-Hoo!!!
August was great because Madyn & I moved back in with Brandon. (Yay!!!) It's SO much nicer to be with him all the time :)
Our trip was AMAZING. We had beautiful weather the whole time we were in california. . . The last day got warm (78 degrees F), but we still enjoyed it. Madyn was really well behaved for the most part. We took between 1500-2000 pictures, not all of them were GOOD pictures so we have to sort through them. . . I'm working on getting a scrapbook together of the pictures. Last night I went to my Aunts and we made 6 layouts total for my scrapbook. 4 vacation themed layouts and 2 Christmas Themed layouts. :)
Anywho's that's all that's new & great. . . I hope that you and your family all had a great Christmas or good holidays if you don't celebrate Christmas :)

Twas the night before Christmas---Mom style
Someone posted this on a board that I am a part of and I couldn't get through it without a tear on my face, so I thought I'd share it here for all you moms out there....
'Twas The Night Before Christmas
Mom Style
Twas the night before Christmas,
when all thru the abode
Only one creature was stirring,
and she was cleaning the commode.
The children were finally sleeping,
all snug in their beds,
while visions of N-64 & Barbie,
flipped through their heads.
The dad was snoring in front of the TV,
with a half-constructed bicycle propped on his knee.
So only the mom heard the reindeer hooves clatter,
which made her sigh, "Now what is the matter?"
With toilet bowl brush still clutched in her hand,
She descended the stairs, & saw the old man.
He was covered with ashes & soot, which fell with a
shrug, "Oh great," muttered the mom, "Now I have to clean the rug."
"Ho Ho Ho!" cried Santa, "I'm glad you're awake."
"Your gift was especially difficult to make."
"Thanks, Santa, but all I want is time alone."
"Exactly!" he chuckled, "So, I've made you a clone."
"A clone?" she muttered, "What good is that?"
"Run along, Santa, I've no time for chit chat."
Then out walked the clone - The mother's twin,
Same hair, same eyes, same double chin.
"She'll cook, she'll dust, she'll mop every mess.
You'll relax, take it easy, watch The Young & The Restless."
"Fantastic!" the mom cheered. "My dream has come true!"
"I'll shop, I'll read, I'll sleep a night through!"
From the room above, the youngest did fret.
"Mommy?! Come quickly, I'm scared & I'm wet."
The clone replied, "I'm coming, sweetheart."
"Hey," the mom smiled, "She sure knows her part."
The clone changed the small one & hummed her tune,
as she bundled the child in a blanket cocoon.
"You're the best mommy ever. I really love you."
The clone smiled & sighed, "And I love you, too."
The mom frowned & said, "Sorry, Santa, no deal."
That's my child's LOVE she is trying to steal."
Smiling wisely Santa said, "To me it is clear,
Only one loving mother is needed here."
The mom kissed her child & tucked her in bed.
"Thank You, Santa, for clearing my head.
I sometimes forget, it won't be very long,
when they'll be too old for my cradle & song."
The clock on the mantle began to chime.
Santa whispered to the clone, "It works every time."
With the clone by his side Santa said "Goodnight.
Merry Christmas, dear Mom, You will be all right."
Sometimes we need reminding of what life is all about. Especially at times during the Holiday season, when all we seem to do is clean and bake and shop and and and and and and and....You get the picture, I'm sure. So stop for a moment and hug that little one so special, whether he/she is 2 months or 22 years, or even older than that.
For they are the Gift that God gave us in life...and what a gift to be treasured, far above any other!
May the real meaning of Thanksgiving and Christmas be with you all this year.

Oh, the holidays you can't beat home SWEET home.
So, we put up our Christmas lights & other decorations on Thanksgiving! I'll take some pictures and edit this post to include them :)
I did not go black friday shopping, however I worked at 9 AM on black friday!!! It wasn't as crazy as we thought it would be. Half of our appointments didn't show up which royally sucked, but we'll recover.
Also, I am now only working weekends. Things just weren't working out with my babysitter, and it was costing us way too much to send me to work so now I get to stay at home during the week! Woo-hoo!!!
My birthday is in 45 days!!! :) I am SUPER excited & antsy to see who I will be celebrating it with besides my mom & Brandon. . . I can't believe I will be 21!!!
2010 is coming up SO quickly, and with 2010 I will have a big bad 4 year old midway through, and hopefully we'll be looking to buy our first house together! So next year is going to bring big things!!!! :)
As for now, I'd like to make it through the rest of the year without catching any major colds!!! :)

Ah the holidays. . .
I love the holidays that are coming up. I love being with my family and everything, but I wish that the holidays would come without all the colds, and allergies that get stirred up when the weather changes. Poor Madyn has been having a runny nose for a while now, and a small cough that gets bigger when he gets really worked up. I'm not that worried about that because I know he had RSV when he was an infant, and they did say that when he was 6 months old he had asthma, but I haven't had them check since he was 6 months old if he still has it or not. I am working on scheduling an appointment for Madyn.
Work has been picking up! Woo-hoo!!!! I enjoy work, I love my co-workers!!! I also enjoy the fact that the pictures I take will be passed out to peoples friends/family's and co-workers! :)
We're gearing up for our trip to california next month!!! I'm super super excited! We'll be gone for 6 days and we'll be going to Sea world, San Diego Zoo, Universal Studios, Disneyland/CA adventures! woohoo! :)
Our new apartment is amazing. I love that it is just brandon, Me & Madyn. It's comfy, and fits us almost perfectly. Only complaint is loud neighbors! but oh well. lol
I'm trying to start Madyn's scrapbook, but am not quite sure if I should include a page of my maternity pictures and THEN start with his newborn pictures, so on and so forth? hm.
All in all, we're doing well currently!

A challenge :0)
Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don’t blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don’t blog about, but you’d like to hear about, and I’ll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on something, favorite type of underwear, explain an interest, whatever. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

Sneezy & energy
I feel like Madyn and I are two of snow whites dwarfs..I’m sneezy & He’s energy. Even though he’s still a bit sick, he’s got a bunch of energy. I on the otherhand am sneezing what seems like every 10 minutes, but have no other symptoms of a cold.
This week is the last week until we get to move out!!! I’m SO ready for this move.
I finally was able to get two good pictures of madyn!! Here they are!
Anywho’s I need to get back to cleaning/packing. Have a good day!!!

Pregnancy and Infant loss rememberance day!!!
~Today's pregnancy & infant loss rememberance day and I wanted to send lots of *hugs* out to those families who have delt with a loss. ~
Other than that, I haven't blogged in a while. I haven't really been that motivated since I don't have people that comment my blogs. Comments let me know that I have readers out there, and that i'm not really talking to myself.
We've been packing our stuff, move in day is on the 24th. Brandon's already got a load ready to go and the living room is surrounded by boxes. I know I've said this before, but... I can't wait to move.
Not much else has happened since my last blog so i have nothing else to update on.

Dream much?
This is my dream from last night from my memory this morning:
it started out with me walking around a building and being handed a missing child flyer. On the flyer it had a reward that the family was offering for the return of the child, and it had a description of the person who was last seen with him. I took a very good hard look at this picture, and kept walking. When I got off the elevator I walked forward and saw a male that resemebled that guy on the flyer. I started to get out my cell phone and he ran off remarkably fast. I kept talking to the 911 operator and tried to stay in his line of sight, but was also trying to not be heard by him. this wasnt hard for me. After I got off the phone for some reason I myself tried to catch this man. I tried all kinds of random things that I don't remember at all now except for I tried to throw a net over him and he blew it up into little fireworks and escaped. I kept trying all kinds of things and it wouldn't work. Finally I decided that maybe if I just talked to him it would work. So I walked up to him with nothing in my hands at all, and began discussing things with him. Somehow I ended up catching him admitting to taking that missing child and I caught it in my son's toy microphone that appeared out of nowhere. I took that microphone to the police and they convicted him of kidnapping. I felt good about helping convict a criminal and then woke up.
Why did I dream that? It still makes me feel weird thinking about it.

Well THAT didn't last long.
WE'RE MOVING AGAIN.
This time we're moving into an apartment, and it will only be Brandon, me and Madyn. I'm excited!!! We're looking into a couple different apartment complexes. One of which I used to live in with my family when they were under other management. Brandon is calling them today and we'll find out what everyone has to offer.
I'm really wanting to start school in January so I hope that I'll be able to do that. Even if I'm just taking one class, I want to get started on my degree!!!! I actually miss being in a classroom setting. It's been a few years.. Since junior year of HS. I'm really looking forward to being able to do that for myself.
I'm also looking forward to getting things settled so that I can eventually buy a car! I hope to have one before the end of next year. I was SUPPOSED to get one this year with my tax refund but was unable to do that. I did however get my license finally this year so I'm at least half way there. Getting the license was something I needed badly, and now it doesn't expire until I'm in my 50's. So I have plenty of time to get a car.
I will miss this house though. I love it. It's a gorgeous layout, and maybe one day we'll own a house with a similar layout. who knows...
So That's what is up with me and us.
This time we're moving into an apartment, and it will only be Brandon, me and Madyn. I'm excited!!! We're looking into a couple different apartment complexes. One of which I used to live in with my family when they were under other management. Brandon is calling them today and we'll find out what everyone has to offer.
I'm really wanting to start school in January so I hope that I'll be able to do that. Even if I'm just taking one class, I want to get started on my degree!!!! I actually miss being in a classroom setting. It's been a few years.. Since junior year of HS. I'm really looking forward to being able to do that for myself.
I'm also looking forward to getting things settled so that I can eventually buy a car! I hope to have one before the end of next year. I was SUPPOSED to get one this year with my tax refund but was unable to do that. I did however get my license finally this year so I'm at least half way there. Getting the license was something I needed badly, and now it doesn't expire until I'm in my 50's. So I have plenty of time to get a car.

Manic Monday
I'm not quite sure what the word Manic means, but it starts with "M" so I figured I'd use it to title this blog.
It's been almost a week since I was able to blog and unfortunately I don't remember what all I've done the past week. I do remember working a lot lol.
I'm still having issues getting daycare taken care of for Madyn and thought that I may be able to enroll him in a preschool instead of a daycare, but there are none around me. I have no car so getting him to one that isn't by me is an issue. I'm scheduled to work tomorrow from 10-7 and I have no idea who's watching madyn and how i'll get to work. I'm so tired of not knowing who will watch Madyn and having to fight with DES/CCA to get them to cover daycare costs.

What a wednesday
So Madyn went to tutor time for the first time today. I didn't see him again until 8:30 tonight. It was 12 hours from the time i dropped him off til the time that i saw him again. He was so happy to see me tonight, but he was soo tired when i got home. lol.
Work was busy enough today. I enjoyed working the 8 hour shift, and it will look nice on my paycheck but now I'm tired and wishing my honey would talk to me more :( we're both on the computers and really nothing is being said.
I figured I would update this before tomorrow, that way I don't fall behind. :)
