Lillian Day

Today was such a long day! It felt like two days in one.

When I got off work, I picked up Jake and Grace and we went to Target to get patio furniture and a grill. We fit all of it in my tiny little bug, and it deff felt like a clown car. :)

Aaron and I went to get Lilly for the show (her birthday present from us), and stopped by McDonalds to eat. Lilly fell asleep the whole way there and she had so much fun during the show. It was so cute to watch her.            On the way there

                                                                 The Show      

                                                             Cutie Lilly

                                                     Lillian During the Show

                                                                  On the car ride home.

Aaron bought a coke and made the mistake of letting Lilly have some, so on the way home and when she got home, she was WIRED.

 

Now I am playing Aarons new video game with him, Heavy Rain.

I am at work right now, and I have two hrs til I am off!

Then I will be heading home to get ready and when Aaron gets home, we will be going to get Lillian and taking her to Seasame St Live! Yay! :)

Also I found it.. I have been looking far and wide for it.. PATIO FURNITURE! And it couldnt be more perfect. Its at target and it makes me want summer, badly. I must have it! :)

Last night Aaron and I went out to see Dear John, it was such a cute movie! I loved it, and it was nice to go out with my sweetie.

Back to work!

Living

These past few days haven’t been the most exciting so I haven’t sat and updated the bloggg.

Aaron and I have decided to stop the Atkins diet, b/c frankly I am to stressed and when I come home from school and work and my 14 hr day I just want to pick food and EAT and not count carbs. So that is what I will do. :)

Took my government test today, I think I did fairly well, but we will see.

This weekend should be fun and we have lots planned.

Time to get ready for tomro, which is FRIDAY!

This post contains no pictures. SORRY!

Lillian’s 2nd Birthday

Lately my brain has been mush. I like the weekends too much, and I get way to wrapped up in the aspect of no work or school. Hopefully someday it will be that way, just a stay at home mom, who often takes pictures for some extra money. Ah the dreams.

I am very ready for spring break in a couple weeks. Though I will still be working, I will at least get off early on Tuesday and Thursday and be able to relax and breathe.  Work and School together, both full time, is definitely a hand full, especially when your adding a diet on top of it, and all I want to do is come home eat some CARBS and some bread and fried food… mmm the goodness. Oh well, life sure does go on.

Lillian’s (Aaron’s Niece)  Birthday Party was on Sunday, she is just the cutest thing ever.

And it really doesn’t seem to long ago that she was this size. AWH!

I went with my mom today to Papagallos, the clothing store where she is going to be the Assistant Manager or something of the sort, they have adorable clothes, and I can NOT wait to get the discount!

And I finished Season 5 of lost. And my family came over tonight to watch the 3 episodes of Season 6 I had recorded, that they waited so patiently for me to catch up so they could watch.

Time to write an English paper and study for my Government exam on Thursday… the two things I fear the most about school. GAH.

No work tomro, chance of snow. :)

Normal Days

Today was full of little things that made my day amazing.

The only good thing about driving to work at 7am is the sunrise.

I walked into work with this sticky note taped on my desk from one of the techs.

Then for lunch one of the girls in the office ordered pizza and another brought these amazing oreo cupcakes!

And when I got home, I got to spend a nice lazy night with Aaron.

I am in desperate need of warm and SUNNY days! This weather is dreadful and depressing!

Also Aaron and I started the Atkins diet, I want to get back to a good swimsuit body! I think it will be a heck of a lot easier doing it together. We went to the store and bought lots of yummy meat!

Love this quote:

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."

My life is full of “Normal” days, but I am so grateful for the life I have and for the love and support I get from my family and friends. I love and cherish my “Normal” day life. :)

College

I got two grades back today. One was from my English class, and a paper that I wrote I made an 80! So i at least got a B, which for me is good for writing because I am not good at writing AT ALL!

AND THEN I got a 92 on my first Psychology exam! I am so happy! And its exciting that even though I haven’t done much school in the last 3 years, I am doing good in college!

Well that was my news from today. And I have no photo project this weekend, but Aaron’s niece, Lillian, just turned two yesterday and her party is Sunday, so I will have pictures from that, and then next weekend Aaron and I are taking her to Sesame street Live, because she is so in love with Elmo!

(Aaron and I and my messy hair.)

Watching Lost, and of course spending time with my one and only.

My email got hacked, and then the hacker hacked my facebook, and then my facebook deleted. Pretty sweet huh?

Yesterday I did work and school. Here are my prints from photography that we did. The project was texture and flat surfaces. The pictures got messed up in some corners when developing them, but I was in the lab for 2 hrs for 3 prints. I am starting to get the hang of it, but the dodging and burning is pretty confusing and a very long process.

 

After work Aaron and I went to The Cheesecake Factory for a nice dinner. I love how we’ve been dating for 3 yrs and engaged for 2 months and I am more in love with him then ever. I am complete with him, and I do not know what I would do without him. He is my rock and foundation, he is my heart and soul, he is my best friend and my one love.  Being in love, loving, and being loved is the best blessing.

    This is the tree where he got down on one knee :) 

 

 

     Yummy cheesecake!

         And this is called me being bored while driving/pumping gas.

I am on episode 12 of season 5 of Lost and have about 5 or 6 episodes left. I have gone through so fast! And I am so obsessed with it! Haha I will be glad when I am done with season 5 and caught up on season 6 so I don’t waste so much time watching it!:)

Time to get ready for tomros day, Goodnight.

Today has been nothing but Work. Studying. And now sleep.

Not enough time in the day to do it all.

Hope I pass!

This weekend has felt so long!

Saturday I went to my parents house really early so we could drive to Longview for Jim's funeral.

It was an amazing service and he seemed to be such an amazing man, and I wish I would have known him better.

We got to see/meet almost everyone on my dads side of the family and they are all such wonderful loving people.

We got back and I went straight home and hopped in Aaron's car and we went with our friends Jeff and Marissa to a concert in Deep Ellum. We used to go to concerts there almost every weekend in high school and it was fun to go back. They came over and we ate lots of pizza and watched Step Brothers until one and Aaron decided it would be a good idea to sleep before he had to be up at five! Crazy boy.

Today was Valentines day and I had told Aaron not to get me any roses, because there such a silly outrageous price, but of course when he got home from work he brought me three beautiful roses and chocolates.

Then we went to Ikea and paid for our sofa that wont be here for another MONTH! and bought a shag rug and some picture frames.

My dad and the kids came over and watched the Olympics with me for a little while and then we went out to eat with Thomas and Ali at Cheddars. Then stopped by Aaron's parents house to pick up our Valentines Presents to us, which was yummy chocolate and makeup for me! Then we came home and hung up all the things in our room that we have been meaning to for a while and now our room is starting to feel like a bedroom! We just need to get out bed on a bed frame! Haha.

And if you come by our apartment at night you will find my sweetheart in front of the tv at night with his headseat on like this

What a fun and exhausting weekend.

And I am loving Aaron's new schedule where I get to actually see him!

Happy Valentines Day!

So the last two days it has snowed about 10 inches, this is Texas right???

It was so beautiful, but I am bummed I didn't even get to make a snowman OR go sledding down any of the amazing snow covered hills.

(If you cant see the collages enough click on them and they enlarge :D)
Thursday I only had to go to one class and no work so we went over to my parents house to play in the snow with the kids. Then today I only had to work from 12pm- 1:30pm. I am hoping that it last till tomro afternoon or Sunday so I can go play in it!

Tonight we went to Delaney's with Aaron's parents and they were playing 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's MTV music video. It was a lot of fun.

Tomro I am heading to Longview with my family to Jim's funeral.

Have to be up early, watching my Lost episode then sleep, so goodnight!

I suck at this blogging thing.

I am hoping to start taking more pictures soon, I always seem to forget my camera at home, but I am hoping soon that I can get this purse I have been dieing for, that is a purse and a camera bag! I could always have my camera with me! Check them out, there amazing:

This morning I found out that my dad's uncle Jim passed away. I didn't know him that well, but the few times I met him he was one of the sweetest kind hearted guys I have ever met. R.I.P.

We went to Ikea today to get a new couch, but they had none in stock, so it will be about 2-3 weeks! Bummer! At least I will eventually get one! But we did get this sweet red chair for an accent. I love it.

Aaron has a new shift which means he works from 10pm to 6am tonight. Its def lonely without him, but I get my homework done and now I get to watch my episodes of Lost for the day.

Hoping at least one of my classes is cancelled tomro due to snow!

Be safe in the snow tomro and Friday!

Today was not so interesting.

I got up at 7, went to work till 5, picked up my mom, went to the mall, came home and now Aaron is about to tuck me in bed, our nightly routine that I look forward to, we lay in bed and talk about our day and then he kisses me goodnight and hes off to play his video games and I go to sleep.

(Aaron and I a couple nights ago being weird)

I have found out a lot lately that looking at things in a positive light makes your life so much better. It really is a waste of time to just be negative about everything. Keep your head up and everything gets better. And when you get stressed and frustrated, take a deep breath.

Goodnight all, BE POSITIVE! :)

Sorry for the loser post, hoping something exciting happens ;)

I got my hair dyed red yesterday.

And we got out entertainment center too. I like it alot better then our old one, its cleaner and hides our ridiculous amount of cords. It was such a pain to put together though, but once it was done it was worth it :)

This morning Aaron and I went out to do another photo project, I brought my digital camera too, and took a couple pictures, and will have the film pictures at the end of this week. I hope they turned out good!

Now I am going to veg all day watching the rest of season three of Lost!

Have a nice night!
