I want this soooo bad! <3

First I'll start of with a few LO's I did recently that I really enjoyed making!

This first one I made for Nick for Father's day! I'm am really looking forward to it! I am trying to plan something special for him, but I really don't know what to do! I think maybe we'll have lunch somewhere in Temecula and then go to Harveston and walk around the lake, even maybe rent a paddle boat!

This next one I scrap lifted, I just thought it was such a cute page I had to make my own! Reading about all my drama over the past few months, I'm sure you have noticed we aren't doing too well financially. So I wasn't able to make it exactly as the original, but I think it came out really cute considering I got everything for free or made it myself!

So yeah, there's a couple! Anywho, I have been really thinking about this designing thing and I still want it pretty bad. I am even thinking about going back to school for graphic design and also photography. I can see myself doing this, I really love scrapping! I always hear people say "Do what you love" well I love this! If I could get the tools and skills to succeed then life would be perfect!!! IDK, I just think that this is what I'm going to do as a living. Wish me luck! My only problem is all my other problems! My life is a mess right now. Not having our own home, not having Nick around everyday, not having money, it all plays a big part in staying positive and going for my dream, but now that Nick is working and making a salary in a field that is the reason he went to school, I feel very positive about our future! So, I know things are going to get better! So, yes I hope to be getting things on a roll within the next year! So, keep in touch to see how things are going! Thanks for stopping by!

What's new?

Well, we didn't make it to Disneyland for Alex's B-day. We just didn't have the money. Nick had been doing some work for a friend of a friend who does landscaping, among other things and the guy totally screwed Nick over by not paying him. I was so mad. We were so sad, but we took her to our favorite pizza place and she had a blast! We bought a few decorations, with her pals "The Backyardigans" as the theme and she was Happy! My mom or sisters didn't make it, which meant my niece and nephew couldn't either. That was disappointing. But all in all it was a fantastic day! We ate and played hard, got tons of tickets and went on a few rides! Good Times<3

Nick starts his new job today @ South Bay Tech. I'm so excited for him. I'm a bit nervous. It sounds like big stuff. But if he shined in his interview and resume, maybe I'm not giving him enough credit. I think I underestimate him alot. But the truth is, Nick is smart! He does great in school he got this amazing job, he's got what it takes! I'm very proud of him and I hope one day all the nay sayers will eat their words! So many people have put him down and say things about him and it really makes me mad, I understand some things, but Nick has been thinking about the bigger picture, that's why he went back to school. To get an education and a great career.

For us! I have faith in him.

Other than all that, things are getting better, slowly but surely! I'm excited to see what the near future has to bring us. So, keep praying for my family! Things are looking up!!!! God bless!

Disneyland or Bust!!!!

So, Alexandra's B-day is less than a week away and my dream would be to take her to Disneyland! She has had such a terrible year so far and I just really want to do something special for her because she absolutely deserves it. I feel terrible as a parent when I can't give her what she needs. I feel as if I'm failing her and that she doesn't feel safe and secure and it kills me everyday that I can't fix it immediately. I love her so much and she does have what she needs when she needs it, like food, shelter and love. But we haven't been able to be together as a family and we still haven't been able to get our own place. Sometimes I just find it hard to stay positive. Don't get me wrong we are very blessed to have what we do have, but there are so many people who take the small things for granted, like going to work everyday, getting a paycheck, coming home to your own place and family. We haven't had our own place in almost two years. So, yeah taking her to the happiest place in the world would make me the happiest mom in the world! We are so low on money, but I am thinking of ways to come up with some more so that we could go. It won't even be a lavish trip, I just want to get in! So please pray and hope that we can! Thank you so much!

Yesterday we went to the Birch Aquarium @ Scripps in beautiful La Jolla. It was a blast! We were invited by my friend Jackie and her two boys, along with her little sister. They had a few tide pools with some pretty amazing little creatures in them! We were able to get up close and personal with them! It was really fun!



After the tide pools we went inside to check out the fish, jelly fish, sharks, and other sea friends!

It was allot of fun and I would totally go again! We haven't done something fun in awhile so it was a great start to a day packed full of activities! After we shopped in the gift shop, we left and went and had some lunch @ La Jolla beach! That was great we sat and made our lunch and had some fresh fruit! From there we re-parked the cars a ways down and walked around the beach and went and saw the cool tide pools and the cute sea loins!

It was a really great day!♥

My Goals or lack there of....

When I started this blog, I originally wanted to document my start as a digital scrapbook designer, but so much has happened since then that I haven't been able to really get too far.
I still want to do it, but I'm so overwhelmed with everything else.
I want to go to school, but with everything in a complete mess and not really knowing where we're going on this journey, I'm more confused than ever.
I would love to do what I see some of these woman do. To be able to stay home and do what I love, everyday, must be amazing.
I haven't found out much more information about designing, but I know the answers are out there somewhere! I just need to keep looking. I adore scrapping, with paper or digitally. I love it all! I couldn't see me doing anything that would make me happier as far as a career choice.
So, if you happen to come across my lovely blog, please send some good advice my way! Thanks a bunch for stopping by and checking it out! God Bless!

After Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day was great! First we got up and got ourselves ready. We went and picked up one of my favorite places for chicken, Jaun Pollo and that we took up to Nick's mom's house. We had a wonderful meal and talked and just had a great time! From there we took a golf cart ride and took some picture along the way.(posted up top!)

After that we went to my mom's and had dinner and I got to meet my niece, Josselyn! She is so cute! So yeah, we got home pretty late, but it was a really great day! Being a mom has it's up's and down's, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Alexandra is my everything and she accepts me as I am and you can never ask for more than that! She Wonderful!♥

I just want him to work and start making some money. Alexandra's birthday is coming up, I'm so excited!!! I really want to take her to Disneyland. She's had such a crappy year so far and I just want to make her day special and I know she'd love to see her pal Mickey Mouse! Plus what better time to go then 2-fer time?! I told Nick we have to do whatever we can and if there's a will there's a way! So, that about it on the family scene. Things are getting good, Nick and I are doing great, I love being here, life is good. Keep praying for us and thanks for stopping by!

My Mother's Day gift to myself!!!!

I know it's early, but I am pleased with the way this video turned out! I remember mother's day 3 years ago, when I was pregger's with Alex. we spent the day @ my mom's. It was great we BBQ and took some video comments for Alex, I just remember we were all so excited! I was huge, ready to pop and my feet were swollen! It was a really good day! This year, I don't know what to do....a picnic sounds great, but I really want to see my mom. She lives about an hour and 1/2 away and I'd love to go see her, plus my sister who also lives there too, just had my niece about a month ago and I haven't seen her either. So, that would be great!
