He did it!

Last night, Nick Graduated! Woo Hoo, he achieved in getting his Associate of Science Degree in Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology! (that was a mouth full)
I'm sooooo Proud of him, I never thought he would have gone this far, but he did and I couldn't be happier! Now that he's got the first half done, he'll be looking to get the second part done as well, but he would like to go to a four year now. So school will continue to be a big part of his life.
It was a really great night for us! His mother and grandmother also came and we were just so proud of him! There were alot of very nice people there, we met some friendly people who cheered for Nick too, it was too fun! We all had dinner after and all in all it was a great night. Can't wait to do it again!<3 Thanks for reading, bye!

This Weekend<3

Awww this weekend was sooooo much fun! Friday, Nick had two tickets to see one of his favorite bands, Rise Against, so we ask my mom to babysit and we went down to San Diego and had alot of fun! It was really nice to have some alone time, just the two of us!
Saturday morning we woke up early, which sucked because I really wanted to sleep in! We got ready and went down to Temecula and went shopping! We each got a few things and got Alexandra some stuff too. From there we went to one of my favorite restaurant's, P.F. Chang's and had an awesome lunch! Yummy! After we spent way to long @ the mall, we headed down to my mom's to pick up my hunnie, I was so ready to see her. When we got there we hung out for a bit, had some dinner and headed back home. Sunday we went swimming at Nick's mom's and got ready and went and had dinner @ John's Pizza, sooooo much fun! It was a really great weekend! I'm so happy that we have been able to do extra stuff like we've been doing. It's tough when you can't and are stuck @ home on the weekends, I feel blessed and hope that the blessing's will continue. We are happy, healthy, loved, and blessed! I have been thinking positive and believing in our family and it's working, with alot of help from the lord! Well, thanks for stopping by and checking on our little family! God Bless!

Life @ the moment....

Well, life at this very moment is bitter sweet. Although things have gotten better financially and we look forward to getting our own place, I still feel a bit unhappy.
I'll start with the good stuff first: Nick has really been working alot, which is great, but he is still in his probation time so once we get through that, I'll feel alot better. He does like it though, I think once he gets the hang of it, he'll really enjoy his work!
School is getting pretty tough, he has told his teacher's what's going on, as far as his drive and the amount of hours he puts into work. They seem to understand, but we'll see. It's his last classes before he graduate's this September! Woo Hoo!
Alex is doing great! I tell ya, she's been great since she turned 3. She's potty trained, she's eating well, she listens better, she's great! I have always loved to shop for my little girl, so when Nick got his 1st paycheck....SHOPPING SPREE!!!! Since we weren't able to get her gifts for her birthday, we had to make it up to her. So, we bought her some clothes and this weekend we'll get some toys for her!
As for our living situation, it's still good, but I think we are sooooooo ready to have somewhere to call our own, to call a HOME. It's been two long, long years and we need a place. So, Saturday Nick is going down to a few places to see if we can get an apartment. We're all so ready and we deserve it. I have been thinking positive and we will get through this. The devil is not going to win this time. We will and we're stronger than him and my faith in the lord will see us through.
I just wish it could be different for us, it's not fun when your doing the right thing, yet you pay the way for someone else's gain. I'm tried of it. We are good people.
On a lighter note, Nick got me a Bamboo Fun! I was so shocked. I wasn't excepting that! He's the best! Well, I gotta go, please keep praying for us and thanks for stopping by! God Bless.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

Wow, I still can't believe the news, that Michael Jackson is gone. I truly was a big fan of his music. I remember some of my earliest memories, were of my mom playing his records while she cleaned the house and we sang and danced. Watching Motown's 25th anniversary on VHS often and watching in amazement as he moon walked across the floor, Genius.

He was an inspiration, aside from his personal troubles. He tried to change the world and in many ways through his music and life, did.

I called my mom and we talked about it for awhile and to my surprise she cried...pretty hard. He defiantly was a part of our family and will be in mine as well and is. Alexandra loves THRILLER! We spent some of the day watching Thriller, Ghost, and Captain EO! He was and always will be the greatest entertainer who ever lived, he had a charm and magical way about him! He was The King Of Pop.

I pray for his 3 children and his family who is left with the sudden loss of such a big part of their life's. I keep watching the news and wish I myself could make it down to show my support. I have never seen such devoted fans who have showed up singing and dancing to his many hits, it is a celebration of his life, which no one could ask for more! I hope he is able to look down and see his fans and those around the world celebrate his life. Rest In Peace and know that we will never forget you! God Bless<3

I just wanted to share!

So, I'm calling it.....It's official, my little BIG girl is potty trained! Woo Hoo, I never thought I'd make it! She has successfully gone in the potty with no accidents for 5 days! We even went to the park and the store and she stayed dry the whole time! I'm so proud of her!

Nick loves his new job, but he's super busy. I haven't really seen or talked to him much. He works Monday through Friday, goes to school Monday and Friday night and Saturday morning all in San Diego.

Things are good and I'm really excited about he weekend! Nick gets his first paycheck and Father's day is on Sunday! I am working on some kits and it's not easy, my idea's are endless, it's just turning into a reality. I'm staying positive and trying and that all that matter's for now! Thanks for stopping by and feel free to follow by blog and my journey! God Bless.

Pee Pee in the Potty!

Alex has been kicking potty training butt! She has peed in the potty at least once a day for 5 days straight! I can't believe it! I was getting a little nervous she'd never do it and here she is! I introduced the potty to her over a year ago and she was not having it so I put it away for about 6 months. I tried again and she wasn't into it again. But when she turned 3 I thought maybe I'm the problem? I'll say it, I was being lazy when it came down to it, so I put her in some panties and there were some accidents, but here she is peeing in her potty and she loves it! We made a potty chart and it's quickly filling up with stickers! AMAZING! I even made her a potty certificate:

And here's her potty chart:So, there you have it! I'm not calling her "officially" potty trained, but she pretty close! I'm very proud of my little girl and it is a huge accomplishment! I'm super excited to save money on diapers and wipes! It's a great time in our home!!! God Bless!
