It's been a while blogger...

Well, we meet again Blogger. It's been a while. I'd forgotten about you. Now I think I'll try to use you more. My life is very different then when I last wrote. I'm no longer with Tony. I have a baby. I'm getting married in 2 weeks. I moved out of Boise, and then back again. I don't have a job, (except the best job, being a mom). Let's start with the baby. I found out I was pregnant on May 26th, 2011. We weren't trying to get pregnant, it was definitely and "oops". But I was happy. I still am happy. We found out it was a boy at the end of August and then we moved from Palm Desert CA, to Boise ID. The drive should have taken about 20 hours... ended up taking 34 hours. Not as fun as it sounds when you're 19 weeks pregnant. We took a wrong road that used up 2 hours. We had 2 tires blow out. We slept in the truck when we couldn't find a hotel. And at the end of it, our feet and ankles we SO swollen, it was awful. But we made it to Boise, safe and sound. Then as I'm talking about what OB to go to, what hospital to go to, all these important baby questions, a good friend of mine says she had both her babies out of the hospital and at a birthing center. WHAT!? Out of the hospital!? It didn't take much to convince me that being in a hospital was not the right place for me. An epidural scared me more than the pains of labor. So, Danny and I went to the birthing center, we took a WONDERFUL birthing class and I was able to labor and birth without any medication or interventions and bring Hollis Rowan into the world ON his EDD, 8.3 pounds, 22.5 inches long. We started nursing right away and we're still going 19 months later.

Next new thing in my life.... I'm getting married in 2 weeks! Yes, on September 22, 2013 I will be saying those sacred words. Betting half my shit that I'll be with Danny for the rest of my life. I think it's a good bet to make. We've had some trials and tribulations, but we've come out better for it. He is a wonderful man. Kind, caring, strong, passionate, strong-willed, thick-headed, loving, stubborn, handsome, and best of all, he loves his two boys with everything in him. We're planning a back-yard BBQ potluck wedding. Small, family only ceremony. Then a big BBQ party after with friends and family. Pretty excited. The backyard is still a mess, but I don't think it will be too hard to clean it up. I'm making decorations, we've got hay bales for some seating, we have christmas lights and tiki torches for lighting, paper lanterns for a lovely glow.... I'm really excited to see it all done. Just gotta get a minister. That's not THAT important right? :)

Ok, well, that's all you get for now. Hollis has been asleep for an awfully long time, I think I should make sure he's still breathing.

Until next time!

I'm Baaaaaaaack!


You all better be damn excited to hear from me again. Not that anyone was really looking at this but hey, i can dream.

Its been over a year since I last posted and you guessed it, a lot has happened. I'm still together with the same boyfriend, things are moving along swimingly, I'm still going to school...off and on...And I'm working my butt off. (not that I had one to begin with)

I started workin at a place called hastings and in less than a year, was able to work my way up to a manager position. I love it. Although the pay is less than adequete. I get to work with people all day, play with money all day, get ahead on movies, books, and cd's that are coming out, and make coffee! Oh, i love making coffee. Which reminds me, after here i'm gonna look at Bed Bath and Beyond for a specific coffee maker.

And with that, i'm done. Off to Bedbathandbeyond.com!

more goings on

woooooo wee, its been a while since Ive been able to get on this. Its now 3 weeks after school is out and Im working full time. again. and looking for more work. Aint life grand like that.

The musical went really well, I got a lot of good reactions to it. apperantly, I can laugh really funny. I was even told that I was better than the girl who did the original broadway show. I watched it and I much admit, I was a bit more entertaining. I played little red as more of a little girl. In the broadway show, she really didnt do anything. Sometimes it was funny when she did say a punch line with such a serious face, but other than that, shes a LITTLE GIRL. act like it please.

I will be working all summer to try and save money so I can go back to school, but I dont know if it will work out. I pray it does.

Im about to turn 21 this year. only 2 months left. Its all rather exciting.
My boyfriend and I will have been together for a year in June.
not much else is going on, Im bored right now so I guess Ill go fix dinner now.

things are going fast

well, its only 1 week and 3 days till opening night for the musical. Its getting really stressfull for everyone. We are all getting our lines and the songs are coming a long, but at the same time, everyone is also really tired and stressed and its going to be great when its over.

At the same time, it will be sad. I wont know what to do with all the time I have to spare. I wont have to go to rehearsal 4 nights a week and I wont have to practice my lines and songs and I will have so much time on my hands.

What to do with it all, what to do?
