Oh by the way

I'm retarded....

I need someone to teach me how to add photos to my blog. I mean I know how to put the pictures on, but whenever I do, it only lets me place them at the top. I want to be able to put them wherever I want to.

Loud neighbors...

They are sooooo annoying! They sound like they are having a fight upstairs. I wish they would leave. I can't wait till we buy a house! We will def. be buying a house by Nov. of next year. How exciting is that????

I lost 1.8 pounds in two weeks! I'm very happy about that. And that is just from exercising...I couldn't give up all my wonderful sweets and carbs! They are just too good!

R is growing up so fast! He talks all the time now, he tries to sit up, he can fully lift his head when he is on his stomach, he recognizes us now, he grabs things, and eats everything he can get his hands on. He is the best! I love him so much!

Malachi and I get to go on our honeymoon next December. I now that is almost a year away but I am so excited! We are getting everything together now so it def. happens. We are going to go to Disney World for a week. My parents are going to come down and watch R for us. It will be so much fun! I will miss my little boy terribly though!

In other travel news...next month will be busy. We will be going to Niceville for a weekend for a wedding and so Malachi's mom can (hopefully...we still need to call her and ask her) watch R while we go out for Valentine's Day. We will also be going to New Orleans for a weekend of fun. We will be staying with my Aunt and Uncle so I'm excited about them getting to meet R.

Anyways...I'm going to exercise a little and then maybe clean a little and try to pass the time till my husband gets home. Peace out homies!

Hellooooooooo South Florida

It is official. Once Malachi graduates with his bachelors (2 1/2 years from now) we will be moving where it is warm all year round! I know I've complained in the past about it not being cold for long enough or that we don't get snow and how I wished we lived up north. What was I thinking??????? It is freezing and it is horrible! I never ever want to go outside and when I am outside I am MISERABLE, my lips and face are always chapped, no matter how I dress in the winter I feel frumpy, and heating our house costs a lot of money. And snow...yes it is beautiful and magical and so much fun to play in. But the only time I've experience snow was when I was little. And all I had to do was play in it. I didn't have to shovel snow or drive in the snow. And then when the snow is gone there is nasty brown slush everywhere. So no more moving up north. We are going to move down south. We are going to run away from the cold. If we want to see snow we will visit our family who live up north. But living up there....I think I would die. So there.

Do something for a change

Ever since I got the ok to start exercising again from my ob two and a half months ago, I've been telling myself that I'm going to get serious about losing the baby weight. Well...it was all just talk. But for my New Years Resolution I lose 11 pounds. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin again. I want my stomach to be flatter and my butt and thighs to get smaller. The bottom half of my body seemed to explode during my pregnancy. So my goal is to be 11 pounds thinner by June. Think I can do it? I sure hope so! I'm doing everything I can so that I can reach my goal. I'm following Dr. Oz's advice to let everyone know I'm losing the weight...so now I'm more likely to do it because everyone knows. Plus on www.baby-gaga.com (a great website full of moms and mom-to-bes giving and getting advice) I found a weight loss buddy. Everyday we write to each other to encourage and update each other on our progress and if we are keeping up with our exercise programs and diets. And so far I seem to be doing well. I get myself up every morning to either get on the treadmill or do WiiFit. Malachi also got me Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, which I'm going to start tomorrow. So wish me luck on this great adventure and pray that I stick to it!!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! We sure did! We started off the day by opening all of our wonderful presents. Little R got a whole new wardrobe, a Baby Einstein Jumper, a stuffed animal, and a toy for his car seat. Malachi got an Ipod Touch, clothes, Star Trek, Coffee, and some new glasses. I got the best present of all! Malachi gave me a Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera! It is totally awesome! With that I got Photoshop...so get ready to see some awesome pictures! I also received some cute boots, a leather (not real...but don't tell anyone) jacket, and some clothes. So in the gift department...we made out really really well! After opening presents we had a lovely time having lunch with the Britos. We had some great fellowship with them. Sadly, after that, Malachi had to go to work. So R and I have been at home playing with our gifts! I hope everyone's Christmas was as good as ours!

I love weekends

I love having my husband home all day! We can spend so much more time together! Today we were able to do so much since he didn't have to run off to work at 3. We spent the morning just relaxing and enjoying our baby boy. Around noon we headed off to the mall to give each other some ideas for Christmas. And, boy, was the mall a mess. I guess everyone had the same idea that we did! And we both have to go back to shop for each other...since we couldn't buy anything for each other since we were together. Just thinking about it makes me tired. After that we went to Chili's for a 'stupid date' as Malachi would call it. He called it that since Chili's is such a cliche place for families to go eat...plus the food is very cliche. But they had a $20 special for two people so why not. R was really good at the restaurant. He played and he smiled and then he ate. After he ate Malachi took him so I could eat. Once I was finished eating and was waiting for the waitress to bring me a to-go box Malachi handed R back to me. As he was on his way over to me he spit up. And not only did tons of spit up gush out of his mouth...it landed right on my plate. Malachi and I couldn't help but to start laughing. So I didn't need that to-go box after all! Once we completely finished out meal we came home and watched some Lost and 30 Rock. R fell asleep at 7 because he had such a big day and didn't get his full afternoon nap. I'm just worried he is going to wake up super early tomorrow. But that was our day today. And tomorrow we have another wonderful day planned. We are going to church in the morning that then in the afternoon we are just going to hang out around the house and get things done, and then in the evening we are going to a wine tasting with our church. I'm not excited about the wine (since I can't stand the taste of it) but there will be good company and good food (and if there is good food I will always have a good time!) And then our weekend will be over and Malachi will have to go back to work *sigh* But then I will have Christmas and next weekend to look forward to!
