December Time

So Rowdy and I had Christmas early with my family because we are going to be in South Carolina over Christmas with his family. We had the twins so we packed everyone in the car along with all the presents and went to Grandma Iris' house for Nona Amilia's Pizza and gifts. Rowdy and I got the kids coloring stuff, holographic puzzles, glow balls, clothes and a bike that hooks up to the T.V. (exercise video game) and my mom got the twins Pillow Pets, which was by far the biggest hit. They have been wanting those thing for MONTHS, and now they have them. They take them everywhere, i'm sure they would meander their way into school if I would let them lol. All in all it was a good night, the kids had fun, we had fun. I'm lucky to have the job that I do because it doesn't feel like a job, it feels like my own little surrogate family.

 A couple days later Johnny had his testing for his green belt and with the help and patience of Rowdy, he passed!!!

That same night we went and watched the boats with lights, the kids LOVED it and so did we. They had a blast and it was great to see how comfortable they were with my parents and Rowdy and I all together in a place they had never been before.

Now Rowdy and I are off to South Carolina for Christmas, so more posts to come!!!

Day 9

Here's a picture of the twins and I when we went to the water fountains at the library. They had a lot of fun but Jackie's front tooth became loose after that trip because she and another boy went through the fountain at the same time and smacked heads, the other kids poor cheek had her teeth marks in it, but all was well at the end of the day because we got ice cream and went and watched Rowdy's company softball game.

Day 8

Things like this make me angry and sad, Hate; Be it religious, racial, sex etc.

Day 7

I couldn't decide whether to put up pictures of my family, babies, church stuff or friends so I decided on this because to me, it encompasses all of those things, because without Christ and his love none of those would be possible.

Starting Over

Okay, over a month ago I was starting to go on a "get my booty back into shape" kick, and then life happened and I had to put it to a halt. So, now that things are settled a bit I'm thinking about getting back onto the bandwagon. Although the holidays are posing a challenge with lots of delicious home cooked goods that have little nutritional value and are generally high in calories (as most comfort food does), I'm going to try to be very disciplined with my eating and working out and also finish my "Eat to Live" book which so far has been very inspiring and informative, I would recommend it to anyone even if you are not on a "lose weight" kick.

We (Rowdy, his family and I) are going to South Carolina for Christmas and we are taking our engagement pictures there, I will definitely not be at my goal by then, or probably anywhere near close, but I'm going to try and kick my own butt so that I can look halfway decent in my engagement pictures lol. I'm not going to lie, this is very hard because not only does my mom cook and cater but my future mother-in-law cooks wonderfully as well, and of course, neither are very health conscious. I don't know how to get around this when dinner is made and there is nothing "healthy" to eat...

Day 6

Yes... This IS Bethany Joy Galeotti

Day 5

Favorite Quote:
This is VERY hard for me.... I LOVE quotes, I will buy books specifically for quotes. So I can't pick one.

Taylor's (just a few):

• “To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”
• "It doesn't matter where you've been, it only matters where you're going.
• "In my opinion the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly who you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines outta your ass. That's the kinda person worth sticking with."
• "Be the type of woman that, when your feet hit the floor every morning, the devil says: 'Oh crap, she's up.
• "When you feel alone, just look at the spaces between your fingers, remember that in those spaces you can see my fingers locked with yours forever."

Rowdy's: "It's is better to have tried and failed, then to have never tried at all."

Day 4

It should not be hard to guess who's is who's.....

Day 2

Our favorite movie.... well that definitely cannot be narrowed down to just two (his and mine) because we L-O-V-E movies, like seriously.

For me, the two I would pick today would be:

For Rowdy, he has so many I cannot even count, so I just chose two on that never ending list:
