January 2016

Happy New Year 

I welcome 2016 with open arms :) only seeing positive things in  our future :)  Today was a much needed LAZY day :) after laying it down at 6am today I have been LAZY all day :) 
got this in :) We spent the day watching the rocky movies  :)  Rocky 1,2,3&4.  we are getting ready for Creed so I needed the back story again :)
Then on the 2nd we enjoyed another Clipper game with the Burells :) We had such a good time :) Premiere access to everything is the only way we do things these days :)

Then last minute we decided to sneak away to Laughlin.  Our neighbors go every year and we decided to join them this year :) it was a good playoff weekend and we didn't come back big winners :S but thats ok :)
On our vacay he had to get his steak in so we went to his favorite spot out there :) I SO over indulged in the buffets and throughly enjoyed it :)       So I need to keep my activity level up.   I came back at an OK weight around 140 so no complaints over here :) my new jeans still fit :) I dropped a size back in October and those jeans still fit :)
Then the following weekend we were busy little bees but I like to try to get everything in :) Brandon had been sick as a dog :S So we had to reschedule an important meeting :S #Ihatethistimeoftheyearforhisbusiness:S
So, on Saturday we spent the day at the Schumann residence and enjoyed the playoff games and some really good jambalaya :) thanks Jamal for everything :) lets see when I actually try the recipe :)
then on Sunday we watched some more football games at home and had friends over :) Thanks Michelle and Andrew for coming over :) We had a GREAT time :)
Then back to a regular week :S and Ive had a stiff as heck neck for the past month :S I need a deep tissue massage so I need it to warm up so I can hit up Glen Ivy.  on MLK day I spent the day with my parents :) they massaged my neck and gave me a warm neck pillow that I had to go invest in because I SO needed it:S
Brandon has been SO sick :) poor guy :( this sickness took him out completely :S we even had to go to the doctors and everything :S I've never seen him SO bad :S but thankfully he got better and we were able to enjoy the playoffs :) There weren't any games on Saturday so we got that important appointment in :) well see what Uncle Sam takes from us this year :S I HATE him :S Then we spent the day with my bro Sean and our god son Isaiah :) Such a good time hanging out with the little man :) Then that day we planned to get together for the playoff games on Sunday ) We are SO last minute planners :S we had no set plans but that quickly changed :S like the night before while hanging out we planned it :) We are SO last minute :S it will be interesting to see what we do for Super Bowl :S no set plans yet :S I only know 1 thing for sure :) #ThanksforcomingoverSean&Andrew
Still on my workout grind :) I like being an active person :) I decided to do this 1x a month this year :) so the last week of the month I did this :) It is SO much easier to do it when he's not home :) It was HARD this time :S I don't remember it being so hard the last time I did it :S I missed chewing it wasn't that I was hungry :S I started off at 142.8 ended at 139.8 so a 3 pound difference :) ill take it :) I think I'm a 140 girl so I need to get over the 135 and embrace my natural curves :) just still trying to tighten it all up :)
The garden is still coming along wonderfully :) A lot died this winter :S but we also got a little something out there :S Our orange tree finally produced us with some yummy oranges this year :) our lemon tree has produced ALOT and is still producing :) we have only 1 collard stock out there :S this spring I will plant more :) our bell pepper tree is giving us bell peppers as is our Jalapeño tree :) the only thing bad about natural Jalapeños is that they are SO hot :S our strawberry tree has been producing here and there but is looking good now :) natural strawberries are SO good :) its like a strawberry with powdered sugar on it :) we also have potatoes growing out there :) our tomato trees are still there :S I'm hoping this spring they come back into full affect :) I also plan to plant some lettuce this spring and maybe some cucumber again too :)
This year/month has been good to us :S the only thing hard about this month is seeing how SAD my parents are with my brothers deployment :S I try to stay positive because at least we got to see him for christmas before he left :S but they have been SO sad :S I try not to think about him being out of the country :S being out of state is one thing & out of the country is another :) his family in Texas is trying to stay strong until he comes back safely :) #militarylife:S
its been a rough month for the man :S he totally isn't himself and just seems to be in a lot of pain :S he just lays there and cries some days its devastating :S  He's thankfully starting to do a little bit better and we trick him to tacking his meds LOL
I bought these decorations for the house :) I LOVE them :) they are so true :) all you need is a dog and love and it has been so hard watching this dog be so miserable :S 
In the mist of all this the hubby surprised me and called me last minute and told me to get ready that we were going to a Laker game :) #wonderfulsuprise:) We have been SO fortunate that we attended 3 Raider football games last year 2 Clipper games and 1 laker game so far this year :)#beyondblessed#enjoyinglife:)
We got to enjoy the game with the Schumann family :) 
Of course we had premiere access to everything :) the hubby wouldn't have it any other way :) 
At the end of the month I was blessed and found out that I am going to be an aunt again :) another monster to join the family :) So happy and SO excited :) it is something my brother has to look forward too when he gets back from his deployment :) Kid # 3 is on its way :) Glad y parents are excited and happy too :) 

Its been an eventful and blissful entry into 2016 so hopefully we are able to keep this going :) Stay blessed people and stay just enjoying life :) thats what I'm doing :) being a housewife has grown on me :) I'm not missing work, just the social aspect of it all, not the work at all :) Looking forward to an event full year and becoming a great aunt and aunt agin this year :) #BEYONDBLESSED#LOOKINGFORWARD:)
