January 2015 OMG Another Year :)

Oh my gosh:! Is all I can say :) It is another GREAT year :) and we shall see what this year brings :) We are not big on new years resolutions but we are working on a couple of things :) I hope that things come together and we can accomplish our goals. 

We started our year off by going on a GREAT date with some of our favorite people :) Something that we want to continue to do :) Go out with married couples :) It was a GREAT experience and a good movie :) I SO enjoyed pampering myself and I think my husband did too :) He SO loved the movie :) The Gambler was his cup of tea : )#IPICcinemasinpasadenaistheBOOM

I am still on my workout grind and changing my diet has paid off :) I lost 4.4 lbs this month :). I have a new meal plan that I got from one of my GREAT friends :) Thanks Michelle it was SO what I needed and have been looking for :) Its funny cause I find the more food I eat the more weight I drop :) Its funny how the body works :) Its funny cause the meal plan has more benefits then just weight lose :) I'm finding my appetite is kind of coming back :) I lost my appetite with the injury which I thought  was all good.  Apparently NOT :S My body has been in starvation mode for SO long :S It is funny and I cant describe it.  It's not like I get hunger pains, but the feelings I get with this new meal plan is CRAZY.  I just kind of know at  a certain time I should have eaten so then I have to eat :)

I SO love my blog.  It is an awesome outlet for me. GREAT place to review my months activities.   Sometimes people wonder what I do all day.  I get to do a whole lot of nothing.  LOL  It's CRAZY how you find ways to fill up your time :)  For the most part I do a whole lot of exercising, cleaning, and gardening :) I also read, update my blog weekly do surveys and clip coupons :) It's funny I plan my day everyday :) THANKFULLY prayers have worked :) I have been able to manage my anxiety :) It hasn't been bad at all this month :) Im just stay busy exercising. gardening or reading for the most part :)

This month I was able to get together with some of my girlfriends for a baby shower :) some people were missed :S it was a huge surprise :) Baby Garcia was born Thursday night :) he is SO handsome:)  and then baby Auzenne is still backing as is Norma's baby :) #iknowright3babiesINCREDIBLE#exciting:)

Baby Shower was a complete success :) #FYIIlovethename:)

I do a whole lot of cleaning as well :) and we got a new closet organizer :) which I LOVE :) but it has been a bitch to go through and clean out.  Took me a whole week #NOFUN:S so thankful for my hubby and the handyman of a dad :) I was gone and they did the closet on their own with the help of my mom :) #BlessedtohaveINCREDIBLEpeopleinmylife:)

 New closet :) funny what a difference an organizer makes :)

In progress :) #itsbeenaBITCH:S

This is the finished product thus far :)  It was a BITCH to clean and organize :) amazed at how much crap we had :) But, for the most part it is all clean an organized :)

We used one of our christmas gift cards and went out to eat :) It was a GREAT meal and I got to enjoy this wonderful pizookie :) even though I'm on meal plan I over indulged this one night :S 

This is a random picture :S o our collard greens :S but I cook them all the time :S it hit me this month that I am a full fledge gardener :) We have so much growing out there and have like 20 bundles of collard greens growing.  It is so therapeutic I think to have a garden.   I find it gets  lot of my attention :) Our tomato tree died when I was in Texas this December/January so I going to replant a new tree in the spring after good friday.  I am debating on what else to put out there.  We currently have collards, bell peppers, green onions, papaya, jalapeños, broccoli and tomatoes.  Home grown broccoli is way better then store bought broccoli.   I think after good friday I will add carrots and okra to the mix and see how that goes.  I think I might add kale, and lettuce, spinach and strawberry as well.  I don't really know about  all that cause thats a lot but I'm looking forward to the spring.  

There were also several birthdays this month :) Starting off with my bro Sean's birthday on the 13th :) then my sisters birthday on the 17th and my aunts birthday in the 22nd :) So, I got to see everyone for their birthdays and we had a great family get together for my aunts birthday :) #HappyBirthdaySean,LizzandTia:)

I also LOVE exhibiting my craftiness :) I stole this idea a while ago from my comadre #ThanksGabe:)

I recently added these small details to my collection, now it is framed in black :) 

 Somebody is 10 months today :).where has the time gone :S #cuteness#adorable#muchloveJoey:)

And, his big sister Claire turned 5 years old on the 30th.  :S She is such a big adorable niece, like all my other nieces ;).XOXO

Then to end the month we went to a friends basketball game where he referred at APU.  He did really well.  We had a great time and went out after the game.  

  So, all in all thus far it has been a REALLY good year :) we have a couple of things we are still working on and hoping it all goes through.  We got good news this month that things are looking good for us.  So we are staying active,busy and feel really blessed.  At the end of the day we always just tell ourselves that God is REALLY GOD :) Halluejuh :) Stay blessed people..
