Wow today has been busy! I have organized the whole house from top to bottom, now I just need to dust and sweep...I got to pick my jeep up from mechanics and almost $600 later almost everything is fixed haha. I had my renewal dress alteration today as well. Ill pick it up in about a month :)

Ryan and I got to workout together tonight for the first time in I dont know how long....thanks to our good froends tawni and brad for watching Macie....it was nice, I wish msu had daycare  so we could make it a more frequent thing!

Today I felt much better than yesterday. Day 3 without cokes :) We got our school loans in so now were paying for adult things like house taxes, fixing my jeep, credit card balances and books....it feels so good to be able to check those big things off our list. We even got our flu shots today, better late than never, right? I enjoy spending my days with Miss Macie and I think this Christmas break was a little to short...Ryan continued teaching today and enjoys it. Just another blessed day!

Today was kind of blah...nothing bad happend, I just dont feel 100%. First thing this morning I went and got my blood drawn for some tests after that Macie and I just hung out around the house watching tv, cleaning and doing laundry. Oh and  of course dressing up like princesses :) I made a cheesey potato soup for dinner which turned out pretty good! The highlight of my day was finally finishing all 7 seasons of how i met your mother....I started watching them back in september, so it feels good to finally be finished with them.  Im on day 2 of no cokes and that may be the reason why I dont feel to good, but I know in the end it will be better for me.  The rest of tonight will be devoted to studying my hurst review book....possibly finishing up my resume..Feels good to be so close to the end!!

Well it has been almost a year since my last post and alot has happend since then. Macie is still just as smart as ever and is the most perfect girl in this world!  She just had her 3 year check up and they found a small heart murmer but I am confident that it will disapear as she grows up. Ryan has finished his schooling and is now student teaching at city view. Today was his first day and he loved it! I have finished two more semesters of nursing and I am about to begin my last. In July we celebrated our 8 year anniversary (3 years mairred) and I cant believe how perfect we are for each other <3 In september I lost my Pops and as hard as I thought it would be to lose someone, I have delt with it very well. Partly because I see my Nanny and she has so much faith. I love that I can talk to my Pops now anytime throughout my busy days and he can see how hard I work to be a good student, wife and mommy. I am excited to see what 2013 brings for my little family. We brought in the new year at my Nannys house. We watched the ball dropped, banged pots and pans, drank some wine and  danced around the living room. It was a great way to start off the new year :) Well today it was back to the begining of a schedual. Like I said before Ryan started his student teaching and he will be doing that until April 5th. So not much longer!! Macie started back at ballet today. I had a drs. appointment and she perscribed me some anti-anxiety medications....Ill think about taking them...im not to big on taking medications...even just simple pain meds.... anyways... I am trying to reduce stress naturally. I worked out today for the first time in a long time and I deactivated my facebook so i will have less a destraction during school and hopefully less stress over all.. Now its just me and my thoughts on this blog :)

Macie Brooke

Its been a while since my last blog. Anyways Macie had just turned 2 a few weeks ago and I was thinking about all that she has accomplished it these short couple of years! She is the smartest 2 year old I know :) My 24month old can count to 10 in english and spanish, can point to multiple body parts when we say them in english and spanish, and if you show her a body part she can name it in english. she can say a few main spanish quotes like hola, como estas'. She knows all the letters of the alphabet. All her colors including black brown white and gray.She can speak in short scentences and tell you what she needs or wants.  She has memorized a few books and pretends to read other books she hasnt memorized.  I caught her today looking at a princess book and she said, "Ariel sit in water" and thats exactly what the picture in the book is! She pretends to write her letters.  She is 95% potty trained.  She has been in big girl panties since december 18th. She can sing a few songs including happy birthday, which is the cutest thing I have ever heard. She says please and thank you and has even used excuse me please :) my mom got a kick out of that phrase.  She can tell you what she wants from sonic. Its always grilled cheese, french fries and apple juice. She knows most if not all family members by name even ones that live in kansas. She knows the names of her classmates and even has a crush on a couple boys Cruz and Marcos. She is such a great momma to her baby dolls and even puts baggies on her hands to change their diapers.( im assuming thats from daycare.)  She has such and imagination. She uses shampoo, soap, listerine, lotion and powder bottles as her babies.  Covers them with blankes and rocks them while sining "rock tree top" haha. We  have a cut out in our shower for our shampoo and she uses that as a changing table :)  When she plays in her house she says bye, love you, be good!  And she wont let you leave unless you give her a hug and a kiss. There are so many more funny things that she has done and said. I cant even belive that she is mine all mine! I have loved this 5 week break with her and im sad I have to go back to school. I hate having to miss these priceless moments.  Or always have my mind preocupied by nursing school work that I cant enjoy any time I have to spend with her while im in school.  Im glad I wrote all this down so years later we can look back and see how far she has come and how advanced she was for a 24 month old! I am such a proud momma and I am so blessed to have her in my life!!
