I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

More to come later... right now Im trying to make everything pretty again :)

My Invision....

So as I do most nights.. I go to bed, and find myself totally not tired...yet Ive made myself go to bed, because I have school the next day, or I have to work, blah blah.. you know how it goes. Anyhow... as I lay in bed... my mind sometimes drifts into WAY left field.. Im talkin.. almost foul ball area, Lol. SOooo.. yeah, I had this envision... Man I sure would LOVE to have my very own cupcake shop!!! {haha Told ya left field!} Anywhos... in all of my creativenessssss, and like many nights, I have come up with a few recipes.. or recipe tweeks as I like to call them, and this weekend I think I hit the jackpot on a cupcake frosting recipe!! haha!!
Let me just tell you... This stuff needs to be patented!-That's just how good it is! I think Ive ate 6 cupcakes today, and Mike has taken down a good 4 I know! {We are both pregnant-hormones! lol} So back to my idea.... Id love to be one of those stay at home mommies, that has all the time in the world to create all kinds of fun things, gosh my ideas are ENDLESS!!! And have a cool lil cupcake shop, in some small dainty lil town, on the square, and sale all kids of creative things amongst the yummy cupcakes I plan to have in there!!! =) Its Genius really! But hey.. who am I trying to fool... Ive gone to college for all of these years... But who says I cant have teaching as my 'back-up plan'? Lol... I mean we all need something to fall back on... there will always be a need for teachers for sure! And you might be asking yourself... what is Mike going to do... well if he stays in the Army,... we can have a franchise! haha.. and if he gets out in the next few years, he will have some lame Govt job, but hopefully be doing something that he likes, and of course making lots of $$$$!!! Momma needs a loan to get this business started! haha!
Anyways...that's my idea for the week. Stay tuned for more envisions, as I do have them oh so frequently!!

*Yellow Butter cake Cupcake w/ Lemon Cream Cheese Icing! Fabulouso!

New Years Resolution

So like my girlfriend so perfectly stated for the new year.. "I'm going to be a better blogger". So as a part of MY personal resolution, I believe I will accept this one as mine also. I cant even remember the last time I actually made a resolution.. other than the infamous "I plan to start working out" every year. Lol Who really ever goes through with THAT one!? =)
On a lighter note, updates updates updates...
Im officially 24 weeks today-HOORAY! During my appointment today, I received my test results on 6-screening test, cystic fibrosis, and my glucose screening. Well, I blew the glucose test out of the water by a good 11 points-yay-And my screening tests are all negative, so double Yay for that! Its still a big blur that I am preggers, but crazy enough I see the ultrasound, and it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall comes to reality! haha
Anyhow... I hope to keep this a lil more 'up-to-date' Especially for the next coming months. I have a super busy schedule, and am quite worried about how much Ive taken on... going to school, substituting at Ft. bragg schools, and following up with my second & third trimester... whew!! It makes me shiver just thinking about going into labor!!! haha... anyways..Hope everyone had a good holiday..& got to spend lots of time with their families and friends.
Cant wait to be back home again to see everyone!

November News

I am SUCH the blog slacker these days! But this school has had me wrapped around its finger FOR SURE, and with the news of being preggers, my world has definitely begun to change. So for the few that maybe DON'T know, Mike and I are expecting our first lil baby Boyd come April 28!! It took us by surprise, and don't they always say when you least expect it, and when you don't have time in the day for anything else.. BAM!.. your pregnant!?? Living proof! It DOES happen! haha
But everything has gone great so far... I am currently 15 weeks, and moving right along. Most days I don't even feel prego, or usually I forget... then I am so reminded of that, in fact.. I AM PREGNANT by the frequent urination being dispensed from my body like a water fountain! That's no lie either.. you for sure pee ALOT! {I don't know what I am going to do when we make the 1200 mile drive home to Texas for Christmas- Catheter anyone??} EEK! HAHA...

Not the best Sono Pic, but hey its alive! 13 wks

In the meantime, we've been to the OB, a couple times {including today for my 16wk check-up} and have heard the heartbeat twice now..--HELLO REALITY CHECK!!!!
And that was pretty awesome... Mike had the biggest goofy grin on his face, the first time, I think Ive EVER seen, so that was cool. And I made an appt go to back on Dec. 4th to do an "official" ultrasound... and I will FOR SURE find out the sex by then! EXCITING!!!
Anyhow, We are really truly excited. Its been a long waited 4 yrs for us, and here we are busy as ever in our lives, expecting. =) I know its made our family super happy, and that's always cool to see too!
Other than that... thats all the news I have... Mikes been in the field this week, playing GI Joe, and Ive been in school, getting ready to wrap up the last month, and then Christmas will be here before ya know it!!
I hope everyone is doing dandy... and getting ready for the BEST MONTH EVER... NOVEMBER!!!!!!
why you ask...
*My birthday is on the 20th
*TURKEY day!! 26th!
Two of the best reasons! ;)
Anyways... I will be more on top of things as my pregnancy advances.. cause I know alot of you whom are NOT on Facebook, or what have you.. read this. And I thank you for that!

Happy November Everyone!!
