Day 12::

How you found out about blogger and why you have one...


I found out about blogger just by browsing. And I love having an online journal, I have always had one since before I started high school. First it was greatestjournal, then I made myself a livejournal and had both of those. Then greatestjournal died so I was just left with livejournal. Then I found blogger, made one and kept them both, until now, and I basically just use this mostly. :)

Day 11::

Another picture of you and your friends...

Well I guess I forgot that I did have one more recent pic of us from early this year when we came home for vacation.



This was in February during our late baby shower. That was a fun night. :)

Day 10::

Songs you listen to when you are happy, sad, bored, hyped, mad...

I pretty much just listen to the same stuff all the time. I guess when I'm feeling in the lovey mood I listen to country. But for the most part I just listen to hip hop and country, at least in the car. There hasn't been very many new rock artists that I really like anymore, I don't really look for them either though. Except for that Jonny Craig guy. He's awesome. So I listen to him a lot also.

Day 9::

Something you're proud of in the past few days-

Well for starters I am proud of the $700 we were able to put in savings this last paycheck. That puts us at $2,200 in savings now. Which is something we've never had just put away before. Haha it's kinda funny when I think about it because that's basically just one of our paychecks, but honestly, how many people can actually afford to have $2000 in savings after just a month and a half. Not many, well at least not many people like us. So our savings is definitely something I am proud of right now.

I am also proud of starting back up in school. It's been a while but I'm back! :)

Day 8::

Short term goals for this month...

6. Find Joey a halloween costume. :)
7. Make wise choices financially and otherwise.
8. ... Finish watching the degrassi episodes. haha. (I couldn't think of one last thing.)

Day 7::

A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you. Well I can't just choose one so, I'm sure you know who my 2 people will be.

First, the love of my life...

We met at the end of 9th grade and have been inseparable since. He taught me what it's like to really love someone for who they are. He didn't have the best life, he couldn't buy me what I wanted, he didn't have a car to take me on dates or drive me home, he didn't even have a great paying job. But none of that mattered to me. I loved him for him, all the way through. He has stuck with me this long and I am grateful for that. He is someone I can trust and depend on always, and I know that he will never let me down. Now that we are older he has turned his life into something and he not only did it for himself, but for us. I remember him telling me that, when I was so upset that he joined the Navy, he told me "I am doing this for us." I can't believe someone could really love me as much as he does. We have come so far and I love where we are and the life we have together, and the life we CREATED together. I love you markypoo < 3.

Next, is the second love of my life :). If it wasn't for the above, he wouldn't even be here.

This little boy has changed my life so much. I feel like I have grown up a ton in the last year. From finding out I was pregnant, to finding out there were complications, to finally seeing him with my own eyes, it really made me realize that life is too short and you can't dwell on things. We are lucky that he recovered as quickly as he did, or that he even recovered at all. I hate to say that, but it has happened. I am so grateful that my little boy survived and was a tough one and stuck around to make his mommy and daddy the proudest people in the world. Everything I do now and have planned for my future is not only for me, but for him as well. I want him to be able to say that my world not only revolved around him, but that I made the best of my future so that he could have the best life. I love this boy more than words could ever possibly explain. He is my whole life and I hope he always knows that. I love you little munchkin! < 3

Day 6::

A favorite super hero and why....


This is a tough one. I was never really into the superhero thing. I guess if I had to choose one it would be spiderman just because I was more into that when the new movies started coming out and my little brother loved them. The movies are pretty awesome.
