We are finally settled in to our new apartment. It's been a headache these past couple days. Moving out, we didn't have anything but our clothes and shoes! Lol really! No furniture, no kitchen stuff like plates, cups etc;) no tv and even A bed! We had to throw out our king size since you could literally feel the springs when you sleep and it always gave me back pains. So Saturday morning we took a trip to Portland to go to the IKEA store to get couches and a dining table. We also ended up getting dressers for our room and the kids. so that was pretty much all that we had in the apartment. We've been ordering take out the past 2 days since we don't have pots or pans to cook. I'm really cheap so I've been going to goodwill to find kitchen stuff and Craigslist as well. Haven't found anything yet but if I don't by this week, might as well buy it from Walmart which is too expensive for my liking. We haven't found any beds for a good price so we've been sleeping on the floor til we find some. Hopefully this week. I can't wait to have everything done.
Other than that we are taking things slow, day by day. Excited for this new journey thats ahead.
counting my blessings...

Kick off to New Beginnings
My mind is finally at ease and I can now go to sleep with out worrying about planning the YW New Beginnings! haha I was too hard on myself mainly because I was nervous and at the same time, overwhelmed with everything but I am happy that everything went well and it turned out better than I expected!
Wednesday morning was horrible. That's what I get for leaving the decorations, pictures and food to last minute. I think I left the house around 9 and didn't come home til 3! Procrastination is a bad habit I have. Who seriously leaves pretty much everything til the day of? I do! I looked all over the place for bags of popcorn because I didn't feel like popping them myself. I couldn't find any so I ended up making 4 pans of 7 Layer Dip. We went to the chapel at 4 to set up and my plan was to get everything done then I can go in the mothers room to get ready, do my makeup and hair....all that good stuff lol By the time everything was done, we had 15 minutes before it was going to start! haha I looked a hot mess hence why I didn't not take any pictures! lol
This years new beginnings is definitely one to remember!

Today was such a good day!
1.Since Lance works on Sundays and isn't able to attend church with us, we decided that at least once a month, on a Sunday, he'll leave work early at 12 to come with the kids and I to church. It really does make a big difference when he's there. Even though he is losing 5 hours of pay, it is something that is important to us...to our relationship.
2. For weeks now I tried to potty train Zeland. He is not afraid to use the toilet but he always struggled to let me know when he needs to go! Today, while eating breakfast...out of no where he runs up to me saying he needs to go potty! I took him to the bathroom and he did! Ah, I was so excited for him! All day today, he was in an underwear. (Except at church) But even there, He used the bathroom twice and both those times, he came up to me and told me. Hallelujah! I don't have to buy diapers anymore! We are taking him to the store tomorrow to pick out his own underwear since he's been wearing Drey's lol So proud of him.
3. Lessons were on point today. I love when Sis Lawrence teaches. She is always sincere and soft spoken. Glad my husband was there with me to listen to the message.
4. New Beginnings for our YW is coming up! I am grateful for the use of technology! I wish I could say that I came up with the idea of having a football theme but most of my ideas, came from other YW leaders who has done the same theme for their NB and posted it on their blogs. I am excited yet nervous! Got some last minute decorations to buy then I'm done!
5. March 8th my sisters, their husbands and my nieces and nephews are coming down for the weekend! Super excited!! Hoping to find a place of our own by next week so they won't have to stay in a hotel but I am ready for February to be done with so we can spend time with them. I can't wait!!

Pillow Talk
Love late night pillow talks with my husband. The kids were sleeping in the living room with their uncles so it was just the two of us. We talked about when we first met, reminisced about our first kiss, crazy arguments and fights that we went through, being young parents, past relationships and so much more. It always makes me smile thinking about how much we've been through together and to see where we are today, is a big accomplishment!
Afterwards, we picked up the controllers and played Halo Reach online haha He's a little jealous that I'm better than him ;) lol Our kind of Love! hehe
Super excited for the next chapter in our lives! We are moving out to our own place soon so lately I've just been apartment shopping, trying to stay in our budget...will update you guys later on that :)
Oh yea and I made him call in the next day just because. He didn't mind:) hehe
