It's been a while!

I haven't updated this in quite a while, we've been pretty busy over the past month!

Christmas was great, Ethan got so many fun new toys, his favorite is definitely the mega block table that granna bought him! We bought Ethan his first quad and he's still scared to ride it, but no worries, we'll have him doing wheelies on that bad boy within the next three months I'm sure, LOL.

Daniel and I put down a deposit on a townhouse, we'll be moving in on the 29th this month. We are so excited to have our own place, its a 2 bedroom 1 bath and its perfect for us! I will definitely be putting up photos when we move in and get everything together.

Daniel had to get his nose rebroken on the 10th and he's doing very well! The first few days were very hard on him, but he has been doing so much better. He has an appointment tomorrow to get the splints and cast removed, then he goes back to work on the 24th. Other than all of that, things have been the usual for us. I have been working evenings and start school again in Summer. I am going to start taking my general education courses, once those are complete I get to start my nursing prerequisites, then its the nursing program! I am so excited to be a nurse, I want nothing more than to help others, I'm definitely set on wanting to be either a NICU or labor and delivery nurse.

Well that's about it for now, I'll be updating again in a couple weeks when we move, unfortunately it will be from my iPhone since we won't have the internet for a while. Hope everyone is doing well, love you all!

It's raining, it's pouring, Ethan is snoring.....LOUDLY.

It's been raining like crazy here for the past two days and hasn't stopped, the backyard is literally FLOODED. It's exciting to get a good amount of rain but rain always means that Daniel's work slows down A LOT, which is no good. Were assuming he'll probably have the whole week off which will be nice to spend together but were dreading it for the obvious financial reasons.

Aside from the rain, Ethan has had a LOUD snoring problem lately. I was looking into reasons why he would be snoring so much and we found that snoring, sweating a lot at night, and irregular breathing could be caused by sleep apnea. Ethan sweats a lot at night and has irregular breathing since he was born, it's definitely nothing that we worry about because he breathes fine, but there are times when it sounds a little off. I've always contributed his breathing to asthma since his father has it but I've been planning to take him to the doctor just to be on the safe side. Ethan is doing so well though, he eats like crazy and is such an active toddler. He is starting to get into the "terrible twos" early and loves throwing a fit every now and then, but for the most part he is the sweetest little boy.

Well, that's it for now, hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!

Welcome everyone!

I finally broke down and decided to make a blog. I've tried making several throughout the past few months but I never seem to keep up with them, I promise I'll try with this one. Daniel and I have been married almost two months now and things are great. I love being married to Daniel, we have such an amazing relationship and he is such a great man. Ethan is getting so big its unreal, he is already 15 months old, time really does fly. It seems like yesterday he was his little newborn self, he's no longer my little baby, he's a big boy toddler now! I have so much fun getting to stay home with Ethan during the day, he really does keep me busy. Daniel works during the day time and I work at night, I like it that way because I don't have to worry about leaving him with a stranger. 

I finally found a job after searching for what seemed like a year! I work part time at Subway, but I'll soon be a medical assistant when I am able to get my externship done. I checked my final grades today and I am proud to say I passed all my classes with A's, hopefully I do equally as good in my externship. I'm hoping once I find a sitter for Ethan I can get in touch with an Obstetrician to see about doing my externship there. It would be such an awesome opportunity to get to be apart of pregnancy and babies again, I love it so much! Eventually I want to go back to school to be a labor and delivery nurse, that is my dream.

Daniel is still working in construction and I really feel for him. Lately he has been working some crappy hours, but he has such a great attitude about it. I really appreciate everything Daniel does for our family because construction isn't the easiest industry to work in. Daniel is hoping to hear back from CDCR to be a corrections officer, so far we haven't heard anything but we still have hope.

Other than all of that, life has been pretty calm. Were saving money to get our own place the beginning of the year, hopefully. It has been really great to live with my parents, especially since Daniel and my dad get along so well. I figured they would, considering they were friends before Daniel and I were dating, HAHA! Sometimes I get quite jealous, I think Daniel enjoys hanging out with my dad more than me, lol. I love having Ethan around his granna and grandpa, they love him so much and its so great he gets that much more love! Were excited to get our own place, were just ready to start our own life and be together as a family. 


Well, I'm done for now. Ethan keeps grabbing my hand and putting his cup in it, so I guess that means he's ready for some milk, as usual. :)
