Allergies..nothing great about them

Short and quick tonight.  I am going between sneezing and cant stop to a drippy nose to stuffy nose.  I'm not having a great night when it comes to my allergies tonight.  Tomorrow I'll share what my sweet and adorable husband and son made me.

Heading to bed as these allergies are driving me crazy and I took my allergy medicine so now to let them settle into my system.

Have a great night

It's cold in FLORIDA..what do you do??

This Morning I woke up and it was 28 degree's.  Thank goodness I was out last night with all our towels covering our tropical plants.  Only bad thing is I'm OUT of towels :o)

Since it didn't get much warmer all day K and I just stayed in our Jammie's and robes and socks all day.  We are wimps when it's cold out.

  

So when hubs was on his way home I had him stop at Redbox and pick up a movie.

Well since it's on the cold side what's better than a hot chocolate.  Um nothing.  Don't let the cup fool you I used some great coupons and got a bunch of these cups for cheap.  They come in handy in the winter.

As you can see it did warm up some from the morning but it was dropping as the night was wrapping up. 

So laying on the sofa all snuggled up with a nice hot cup of cocoa with a movie is a good choice for me.

My Jogging Buddy

This year I reclaiming my body back as best as I can as a 31 yr old.  With the help of my jogging partner I am on track plus more.  Last year was tough for working out I was pulled way too thin by some family issues that I didn't have the time to workout.  This year I am back to being ME and getting to workout once again.  I'm EXCITED

K has been working on his jogging so that he can workout with mom.  Even when my muscles are sore he's ready to go.  He's got a way to get you to put on those running shoes and go.

A New Year brings out the NEW

2012 is here and I am happy.  This year I picked the word GROWTH as I see what the year shall bring. 

Both Hubs and I have growth to do but it's not about us growing as adults.  The 1st thing on our plate is to locate a church here in Florida.  I have stayed with our Washington church and almost afraid to find a new church as Living Water was amazing.  I have been looking and have a church that we're planning on trying this next Sunday.  Today I watched their service and it looks like the type of church family we're looking for. To grow Spiritually

With that said we are stepping up to the plate to finish paying off some small debts and the house hunt starts this Spring if all falls into place.

Growth as in a bigger home of a min. of 3 bedroom and 1.5 bath if not more and starting to build our family.  We have so much love and it plays on our hearts to share this love with more children.  Yes I said Children as we would love a family group if it's Gods will.


On the personal side I am working on becoming better at blogging with both my personal blog and also our school blog.  I hope to have a blog up at least once a week on one of the two blogs.

I am also taking charge of my young post menopause body.  I'm not going to let menopause make my life miserable.  It's been hard as I've always been fairly small 5'5 120lbs built of pure muscles.  I don't know anyone who gets this weight gain at my age 31.  It's just not suppose to happen yet.  OK starting to rant so all in all I am making a change little by little.

I also am making Friday nights a night of relaxation.  I have High anxiety from the reason that resulted in above when I was 18 so I need to learn how to RELAX.

So that is what the family and I are working on for the year.  If you Pray I ask that you lift us up as we GROW this year.

Indoor Christmas Decor

I don't have a ton of space in our tiny tiny house so these are my displays for the season.  Next year I hope I get that new house for Christmas with more space to decorate.

I started my Nativity last year and I am in LOVE with this collection

Willow Tree

 My little village that was passed down to me from my grandma.  This is only a few of the houses that I got.  She had such a big village that all of us grand children got some of the village.

He's our tree this year nothing fancy.  These are our whimsical tree ornaments which I plan to put on a white tree once I have a place to put a white tree.  YES, I will be the person with a few trees.  Just love the idea of different theme trees through out the house.  Oh I am excited just thinking about it

This is our mini frame tree.  As you can see I have yet to fill all the frames yet. 

Well this is our living room as of now. 

Seasons Greetings!!!!!

We were in a parade

We were in a local parade with SeaRay boats.  K rode in the boat and threw candy at my head.  OK the children but I was walking next to the boat so I was dodging candy left and right.

We went through 200lbs of candy.  How crazy is that?????  We had fun and a great workout for hubs and I who walked the whole thing. 

Enjoy the photo's of our float

On our ride back to the highschool we all jumped on board.

This boat would make anyone HAPPY Christmas morning :o)

Ponce 6 Months....a little late

Ponce Sebastian

@

6 Months old

September 25th 2011

Only breed Issue at the moment is a Cherry eye which is easy to massage back in.  However he's so playful it pops out all the time.  Are we going to stitch it in NO have heard from so many who have had it done and they don't work for long.  it's not bothering him or us so why put him through that.  Also our vet said because he is young as his eyes grow it may even just pop back in (Writing this almost near his 8th Month it's already smaller).  At the point it causes Issues we will talk about having the 3rd lid removed with saving the duct with worst case is removing it and putting in daily drops.

Has a little Mohawk on the top of his head.
