Happy Birthday to Me...

 Look at the cute wrapping.. he knows me well!

 He spoils me! and the card was so sweet! :)

 Make a wish... With the kiddies!

 Look at all these cute faces! They sang to me and showered me with hugs!

 Birthday date...

Birthday shoes from my friend Ash.. :)

This year on my birthday I flew out to see my honey and I got spoiled.. We went on dates and hung out with the kiddies. They all ran and gave me hugs and sang Happy Birthday to me. It was sweet! I can't believe I'm this old already! I don't feel like it! I did miss seeing my family this year though.. It's hard going back and forth sometimes..

Happy 9th Birthday, Xav..

My Xav also had a September Birthday! We had a friend party at Incredible Pizza. They played games, and laser tag, go carts and we had cake and he said "it was the best birthday ever" So that was nice! I can't believe I have a 9 year old. Time sure does fly by.

He is still into Legos and he loves to play outside and with his friends.
He is doing so well in school, his favorite subject is math.
He is a great big brother and we sure love him!

Happy Birthday, Honey...

This handsome guy had a birthday on September 14.  I flew out to see him and we had a great time.. We made dinner and I made him a double layer cake. It turned out great! Our time is limited as we only see each other once a month So I cherish every min I have with him! He is so kind and works so hard and it was nice to celebrate him! Happy Birthday, Love! :)

Guess who is engaged?.. :)

Lots of exciting things have happened since I last posted and I'm going to try my best to catch you up on all of them! 1st up... I'M ENGAGED!!!  Can you believe it?.. We got engaged on September 4, 2011... It is a dream come true! and I feel so blessed to be starting this new and exciting chapter in my life with a true partner in every sense of the word. He is beyond good to me and I feel so loved! YAY!!  :) Not to mention I have had a crush on this man since I was 12 years old... :) Meant to be if i do say so myself! ;)

First day of school 2011...

 Brothers at the same school now...

 First day of 1st grade...

 First day of 3rd grade...

 Just a little nervous..

School has started for us! We are in year round school. My boys are growing up fast 1st and 3rd grade. They are so excited to be at the same school and they even get to see each other at lunch. I was worried about Aiden because it's a new school and he didn't know anyone but he seems to love it and came home pretty excited about it. I can't believe summer is almost over. Time is just flying by. Cheers to a wonderful school year! :)

I never thought...

I never thought it would take this long to find someone...
I never thought it would be so hard to find someone I'm compatible with...Someone I'm attracted to, someone who can make me laugh, someone who works hard, someone who is sweet and romantic, someone who is great father and just a great person in general...
I never thought I would be 30 and still not re-married... Only God knows how truly bad I want that! Someone to love me and my kids and complete my family...

Dating and putting yourself out there is really hard the second time around.. stakes are raised.. most everyone has kids now and that in itself makes things more tricky.. things are taken a bit more slow.... no one is willing to just rush into anything.. No one wants to get hurt, no one wants to take a risk, no one wants to end up in divorce AGAIN!!

And then there is finding someone you believe is your soul mate and having him live in a whole other state... Ugh.. it's hard!!
It hasn't been an easy road in the love department for me but I really think I have found the one.. he sees me for me! My crazy self and loves me and lets me be me. He thinks I'm funny, smart and beautiful.. He loves spending time with me and he loves spoiling me! He has taken me on so many wonderful trips and we have seen and gone on so many adventures in our short year and half of dating..

We have quite the back story too.. I have known him basically my whole life, since I was about 12 and I had the biggest crush on him and even had a picture of him in my desk drawer until I moved out of my parents house.. he was my older brother's best friend and I was the little girl who always came in the room when he came over.. lol.. Some would say it's meant to be... and I would like to believe it too.. :)

No one knows what tomorrow will bring and no is guaranteed a happy ending these days but I really feel like I deserve one..  and I really hope it happens for me while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.. Sometimes I feel like I haven't even lived yet and my life is half over.. It scares me! There is so much I want to do, but I don't want to do it alone anymore.. Im sooooo sick of being alone...  I want my happy life to begin, damnit!!
I know I have so much to offer now as a wife.. I have learned so much and know myself so much better.. I'm more confident and know what it is I want. I know how i want to be and how much i will cherish every moment of our time together...

Very much in love and putting myself out there on ledge, hoping he will be there to catch me cause I've fallen...

Lots on the mind tonight...
