7 Random Things

Ok Leza this is for you!

7 random things....
1. I am a total Country music buff. Growing up, its all I was pretty much able to listen to.

2. I love Army Wives. Even though Im not one, I know many of them. But I think that a cop's wife comes in a close second with an Army wife.

3. I dont like wine. The only thing that I will drink is Bud Light and Miller Chill. So if I show up, have your fridge packed for me!

4. I want to own a farm! I know I know, what a dream. But I have always dreamt of having a few acers of land with a couple of horses and a cute little country cottage in the middle of no where.

5. I would love to be in the military again. Everyday I think about why I got out, and I totally regret it. But the past is the past and God had other plans for me.

6. I love being a mom. After 2 years of wanting a baby and thinking that I couldnt have one, God blessed me with a wonderful baby boy who looks and acts just like his daddy (OH NO!!!).

7. I love my friends. And the two closest to me and the farthest away from me. They changed my life in so many ways. And I consider them more of my family than my friends. I love you Leza and Christa. I cant wait to see yall again some day!

Here it is October already. Robert is almost 4 months old. My how time flies. He is such a wonderful little boy. Definatley a handful, but still a wonderful blessing to my life. He is so big. He now weighs almost 14 pounds. And his personality is definatley blooming. He is a very talkative baby. Specially with his daddy. When he hears Wes talking he just goes nuts and starts babbling like crazy. He is loving daycare. He really developed once he got used to it. He loves to stand still and play in his excersaucer. Our biggest issue is sleeping. He thinks he belongs in the bed with mommy. But that is starting to change. We are working on getting him in his crib.

I am doing well. I am looking for a new job to make more money. Dont get me wrong, I love my job, but the pay sucks. I am loving being a mom. There definatley is no greater gift.

Wes is now an official Savannah Metro Police officer. So watch out if you are in town!!! He loves it too. He is working an odd shift right now, and its something that I have to get used to. Its the one that I really wont get to see too much of him. But that is ok, it will get better. Life is great and I couldnt ask for it to be better!

A Few Changes

Well, we are about to make a few changes, and I am super nervous about them. Robbie starts school on Monday the 25th. I know it will be good for him, and me. But after having him every day for the past 8 weeks, it will still be hard. I go back to work on the 28th. I am really looking forward to it. We get a whole new set of kids with a whole new set of challenges. It will keep me busy. Wesley is graduating in the 12th of Sept. He is really looking forward to that. His dream will finally come true. I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard to get to this point. Well that is it. Wish us luck!!!

Trying Something New

I started this blog a long time ago, but never really kept up with it. But now with a new baby, it might be a good idea. Anyways, we have extended our family and welcomed a new baby boy on June 29, 2008. His name is Robert Michael. He is definatley a gift from God. After being told that we wouldn't be able to conceive a child naturally without any fertility treatments, we proved the doctors wrong.
Robert is wonderful. He is a good mix of both me and Wesley, although he does favor his daddy more. He weighed 8lbs. 10oz. and was 21 in. Unfortunatley though we had some feeding problems and he lost almost a whole pound after birth. So I ended up having to breast feed and formula feed, which we ended up just formula feeding. He is now a whooping 10lbs+ at a month and a half old. He is so strong too. From the moment he was born, he was holding his head up and checking out the world. And now, he loves to stand and kick. And watch out when he gets mad, you might get a black eye.
Unfortunatley I am not going to be a stay-at-home mom. I have to go back to work. Robert will be starting daycare at a wonderful little place about a block from my house. I got a chance to visit it, and everyone seems real nice. I am going to have a hard time leaving him at first, but I will adjust.
Well me and Wes are doing great. Wes is in the middle of the police academy and is loving every minute of it. He is graduating in September. For him this is definatley a dream come true. I am still working at the school as a paraprofessional. I am excited about this school year because I get a whole new set of kids and a whole new set of challenges.

2-25-2007Well after 6 Years and a few months together I feel like we are starting to feel some tension building up and we are starting to get too comfortable with one another. We bicker a lot more. But we still don't get into major argurments. Don't get me wrong I know that we love each other and that we will never split up. But I just want those butterflies back. Anyways, we have 3 gorgeous animals that we treat as if they were our real children. And we love everyone of them and could never replace them. One is Toby. Well Tobias. He is the king of the roost. He makes sure that everyone is in line. We have put our heart and souls into him. And I have cried many tears over him. Then there is Maggie. The goofy little Boston Terrier. She is a total momma's girl and we wouldnt have it anyother way. She is spoiled and gets whatever she wants. Then there is Miss Kitty. The true queen of the roost. We have had her for 4 years now and hope to have her for many many more. She is our #1 girl. We just recently got our first house. We have done so much work to it and made it our home. Its a 3BR 2Bath house wiith a nice size living room and kitchen with an attached dinning area. We still have to finish the cabinets. We have no cabinet doors or drawers. Well that is it for now.
