Life isn’t a destination, it’s a journey. We all come upon unexpected curves and turning points. Everything that happens to us shapes who we are becoming. And in the adventure of each day, we discover the important things in life and why they’re important.

On a mission!
I am on a mission to lose some weight....20-30 pounds to be exact. Do I need to lose 30? Not really, 10 would be great. I am in no way overweight, I look damn good (if I do say so myself) for having a baby. No stretch marks or cellulite...yay me. But I am up 10-12 pounds before I got pregnant, so to get back to that weight would be awesome, but I am not stopping there! BUT I would like to get where I should be which is 125-130 pounds. Right now I am at 150-155. Average weight for my height is 130-150. So yes, I need to get on it! I am giving myself 6 months. I know it seems like a long time, but in reality, working out should never be a I-need-to-fit-in-this-dress-so-I-am-going-to-workout-hardcore-and-starve-for-a-month type of thing. It is a lifesyle. Meaning, fit working out into your regular schedule. Period. Yes, having a baby makes it difficult but it is 30 minutes....only 30 minutes. I can spend 30 minutes in the shower, watching TV, so why not spend that time getting my sexy on?? So it is on, as of today, working out hardcore 4 times a week, and mild workouts the other 3 days. Will it be hard? Oh yea. Will I give up? Hell no. I hope I see results in the next month and that will push me to go further. Bryan tells me I dont need to lose weight, but he is just the sweetest husband. Wait until I am looking all sexy and then see what he says :) I will be doing a weekly update, wish me luck!!

Mommy moment
After becoming a mommy I worry, about lots of things but mainly about Logan. I try to control it, but sometimes I can't. This morning I had a mommy moment.
I have been taking Logan to school for 9 months now.He has a little friend, Matthew that he loves to play with (they are about a month apart) and those are the only two babies that are crawling so they have lots of fun. So I always give him a kiss and tell him I love him before I leave. Everyday. Some moms and dads just hand their babies off to the teachers or set them down and leave. I am not judging I swear, but that is not me.
Today was no different. I sat Logan down next to Matthew and they were off! I signed him in and put his food and diapers in his cubby. There were 5 babies in there and 2 teachers. One of them was his normal morning teacher Miss Kelly but the other teacher was the Tots I teacher (who he will have in a few months when he moves up) Miss Sun. Well Miss Sun forgot something in her classroom so (while I was signing in Logan) she scooped up Logan, so there would be the right baby to teacher ratio, and took him with her to her classroom. By the time I turned around, I did not see Logan and Miss Kelly said that Miss Sun took Logan with her. Well I didn't want to look like a crazy mom and wait so I left. No kiss, no I love you and no big smile from my boy. I was off to work and made it around the corner. I wanted to cry. I had to go back. Yes this might seem silly, but I had to. I grabbed a paci from his carseat and went back in so they would not think I was crazy and just forgot to put his paci in his cubby (too bad he had 2 in there already!)
I was greeted with a big toofie smile from my boy and I got my kiss and said my I love you. That is what makes my day people! I would have had a bad day if I would not have gone back! It's these moments that I am realizing more and more how great love is. It has no end. It is simply amazing.

People I love- Mark (Marky Mark)
Oh Mark. Where do I start? :) Well he is my best friend.
We met when I was 15 and I was dating one of his best friends. Every weekend we hung out together and just became very close. Over the years, the group seemed to grow apart but Mark and I just stayed friends. We could go months without seeing each other and when we finally do, we are laughing and talking about old times like they were yesterday. He has been there for me through good times and bad. When he decided to go into the Marines, I was scared for my friend but also so proud of him that he made that decision. We kept in touch when he was in the Marines and I looked forward (and relived!) to getting letters and emails from him. I enjoy our long phone conversations that always get side track. Or making fun of his oversized head, it never gets old, I am sure it does to him though. Hee Hee. We have grown up so much over the years, he is a true friend to me when alot of other people were not.
I will never forget the time a friend and I were playing dominos and we beat him and to this day he says we cheated and we did NOT. But it always makes me laugh. And it gets him mad so I like to bring it up every once in a while ;) Or the time when I was having my bacherlorette party in Austin but of course Mark could not join us, it was all girls (and I am pretty sure he did not want to dress up in 80's attire...) So I went up to Austin on a Friday and him and his girlfriend had planned a "Night Before the Bacherlorette Party Night". It was on a rooftop bar, we had a section reserved for us, and champagne. Needless to say, we had a great night! The trips to Houston, backroads, Chico and JoAnna's, So many other great memories, too many to list. I can't wait for his little bundle of boy to be here soon and watch our boys grow up together! Love you Mark!
