A year later

Obviously I got out of the blogging habit. Life took over and I just didn't have the time. I really do love blogging though. My posts aren't as interesting as many others but blogging really is a great way to communicate and share about your life to anybody who wants to listen. =)

So let me catch you up on my life:

Good things:
1. My subbing career has really taken off. I get called numerous times a week.
2. Jonathan got a promotion at work!
3. We are currently starting the process to buy a house!

Fun things:
1. Went on a trip to San Fransisco in July 2011 to celebrate 3 years of marriage.
2. Renewed our Disney passes =)
3. Took a trip to Las Vegas with my family (minus the hubby) in November 2010.
4. Enjoyed numerous plays with my mom and sister.
5. Jonathan's brother and his family stayed with us for one wonderful week in January 2011.
6. Two of my very best friends got married this year!
7. I have become obsessed with scrapbooking.
8. I met Kristin Chenoweth!

Bad Things:
1. I suffered another miscarriage in Feb of this year. I was 9 weeks pregnant. That makes three beautiful babies that I will never get to meet or hold. =( I know I am meant to be a mom and that I will have a baby of my own someday.


Overall it's been a wonderful year. I have so much to be thankful for. I have many wonderful things coming up this holiday season and early next year. I can't wait to share it all with you.

Summer time

Besides the hard times I've been having, I have had some fun this summer.

First of all, Jonathan has started to play hockey. He LOVES it and its great that he has a hobby that he likes so much!





I went to the beach to see my friend two times, within a three day period. This first time I went with my husband for the day and the second time I went with my friend, Brynna, and her kids for the day. I really can't wait to go to the beach again and it needs to be ASAP.
Trip with Jonathan:




Me and the kiddos



Looking for shells



So peaceful!



Mr. River. So cute.






Jill and me



The love of my life.



Shell collection





Trip with Brynna:

Avila Barn. Chickens everywhere!

Brynna the photographer =)






Eva's first trip to the beach! So precious!



My friends and their babies




I hope for many more adventures this summer.

I have no balance

Which is exactly why when I went ice skating I was terrified!
See.





My husband has decided that he wants to get into hockey, so he we decided to start practicing our ice skating. I took one step on the ice and had a panic attack, but eventually I got the courage to go around once. Then I fell and grabbed onto the nearest person, who happened to be a complete stranger. I don't think his girlfriend was pleased haha. At least Jonathan and Alex had a good time.







My mom has been so great. She has been taking us so many places and making my life much more interesting!

Recently she took us to see America's Got Talent! We just saw the auditions (which won't air until June!) but it was still awesome. There were some really great talents and some not so great talents.









With our favorite act, Future Funk. Once you see them you will love them too!




She also took my sister and I to the El Capitan Theater to see Alice in Wonderland. We got the VIP experience and got to see props and costumes from the movie. Afterwards, we went to go see CATS. I was very disappointed in the play and it was by far my least favorite play I had ever seen.














So many great things are coming up and I am so exited! Chicago (the play), Relay for Life, my two year wedding anniversary, and a recently booked trip to Forks, Washington!


Life is good. =)

11 years

On March 8, 1999 around 3:30pm, Jonathan asked me to be his girlfriend. I agreed and 11 years later here we are. We have been through so much together and I'm so lucky to have him all to myself! We starting "going out" with I was a Freshman and he was a Sophmore. Our relationship has had its ups and downs but I'm so happy that we are still together. He is my love, my lobster, my life.

Happy 11 years Hunny!


December 10, 1999- At his surprise party



March 6, 2010- At Disneyland


Our tradition has been a trip to Disneyland to celebrate our yearly anniversary and this year was no exception. We decided to go just for Saturday and then go to the Saugus Swap Meet on Sunday (I've always wanted to go).

Disneyland was amazing (as usual) even though it rained. The rain didn't come until 5:30pm which gave us plenty of "magical" time. We rode rides, people watched, and just had an amazing time being together. The swap meet was great and I had an amazing time and even found some great deals (no pictures of that).



I actually got him to go into the Tiki Room!



I told him to be "scared" for the picture since we were at the Haunted Mansion and this is what he did lol



And then he did this. =)



We had Monte Cristos for lunch. The most AMAZING food ever!



The Animation Room. This is where you find out "Which Disney character is most like you" according to Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast. =)






Jonathan was Mushu



I was Mulan. Go figure. haha






The light show is almost complete! I cannot wait to see it!



Toy Story Mania



He won the battle, but I had better accuracy!












Under my umbrella ella ella












I have never seen the cups so empty! It was so beautiful haha
