so WOW--A LOT has happened since I last blogged--lemme see if I can play catch up here. Ross, Liam and myself got moved into the new house---everything was going wonderfully till a list of problems came up---talk about a bug problem--we have ants crawling out underneath the stove, fridge, sink...everywhere!---our landlord--Real Estate Rentals---The WORST---I DO NOT recommend them to anyone looking for rental property--they do not take care of anything what so ever and are not the nicest people to deal with so if you can avoid dealing with them then I support that 150%! But we got all moved in--unpacked--and I realized--we have 0 space and 0 storage for anything--our fridge was falling apart and the house needed some major TLC--luckily Ross' mom let us use her fridge as a temporary fix--thanks Teda :) Rusty and Katie got married!--talk about a beautiful wedding--this was just GORGEOUS!--every tiny detail down to the rose petals on the walkway--we all got our drink and dancing on--and we wished our two very dear friends a long and happy marriage--perfect weekend--complete with Russ', Martin and Johns awesome dance moves to Take Me Home Tonight. Definitely got Ross and I thinking about our next step! :):):) Sigh---I have no idea what I would do--or plan--or anything!--I have never been very girlie and in all honesty NEVER thought about the big day and all the details that go along with it---I don't have a favorite color--or dress--flower--cake--anything!--Just never thought about it. I really hadn't planned on the marriage and kids part till I was closer to 30--but as you see--not everything works out the way you plan it---I couldn't be happier though. But I guess that is where I'm comfortable--not planning--I really just like to go with the flow and see where life takes me--plans just seem to set in stone---I like some flexibility to go and do what I please--whenever I please---BUT that's not to say that I don't have some plan making skills---it's more like organization actually---I hate clutter--and I HATE messiness--my house needs to be in order--I need things to be in their place---I'm NOT OCD or anything like that---control freak??---big possibility--but I think I have a good handle on it---I just thoroughly enjoy things being neat--it gives me peace of mind--that and recycling--I LOVE to recycle--doing my part to save the planet. :) Lets see---what else---work??---lets not go there. It's good--about to get even better. ;)
Liam is turning a year old next month on the 10th--I can't believe it--it literally feels like I just brought him home the other day--and he was all tiny and defenseless--still is--but now he is walking and talking and just all over the place--he is my little miracle boy. He is definitely developing personality--lots of attitude--wonder who he gets that from....Ross. :) Lets see---I turned 25! I practically turned off my phone that day because honestly---I really didn't need constant reminders all day that I am over my early twenties---I really think I had a quarter life crisis--pathetic?---yes--I think everyone goes through it though--there comes a moment in your life when you stop and look around at everyone and everything and either you're happy with your life or you're not---I LOVE my life---but that hasn't always been the case--I have had my fair share of ups and waaaaay downs but I powered through it and now i'm a better person for it--am I complete??---NO WAY--I still have a lot of growing to do---I don't think you ever really stop growing--as people--were constantly learning new things and life lessons--we just evolve--over and over--taking in new knowledge and trucking along--that is satisfying. I never saw myself where I am today--I thought I would be in a big city--living the fast single life--going out all the time--and partying like a rock star where ever I went---maybe a PA to someone rich and famous or maybe even evolving my own line of clothes---( I still dream of that). I just need to figure out where to get my footing and go from there I guess!---I'm focused on being the best mommy I can be---making sure my little man knows that I am always going to be here for him no matter what--i'm not going anywhere. What I don't understand--is how parents can be away from their young children for looooooong periods of time for whatever reason--work--vacation--personal time--now I'm not saying that you don't deserve some adult time from time to time--because Ross and I are guilty of that--when Liam is asleep at night--if Ross wants to go see his boys then cool--do it--Liam is asleep (and harldy EVER wakes up at night)--and same goes for me---like last night--Liam was in bed--and Ross had some work stuff he had to take care of so he gave me permission to go see some of our friends--and I got to see Russ and Katies new house---beautiful home!--and we just played some drinkin games and had a good time...this maybe happens once or twice a week if that--we want to be at home though--with our baby--soaking up all the time we can get!---I mean hell we only see him for maybe an hour or two at most some days--due to work! I take him to the sitter at 8am--I get off at 530--go pick him up and by the time I get home its close to 6 and he is tired from his activities of the day and wants to go to bed by 7---I feel like I can never get enough time with him--breaks my heart. But gotta do what I gotta do to put food on the table. :) Anything for my little rockstar---Well this looks like a good place to stop at for now--till next time! LOVE----and STAY GREEN! :)

Girls, Girls, Girls, Red Lips, Fingertips.
Oh what a fun night last night---got to have a girls night with two of my favorite people--Rachel and Stephanie--we went out to eat at the brick and talked "shop" for a while---had some awesome Cajun chicken bites---yummmmm--I love hot and spicy----but my burger that I ordered wasn't so hot---it kinda fell apart on me---to be honest but it would have been amazing I think if I hadn't gotten it medium rare---but I love my steak medium rare so I just expected the same result--not the case what so ever. oh well! :-)
I love girls night out because I feel like I'm an episode of Sex and the City---talking about boys, boyfriends, other girls, relationships and or course the obvious--- ;-)
We finished up our round of beverages and then headed down the short walk to Creegens--my first time to go there since it had opened and I was impressed!--if you love the pub atmosphere then this is right up your alley--with an upstairs bar and patio outside it is just so appealing to the eye---great place for "the boys" to come and watch the game and perfect for the girls who want that little something extra. Not to mention that my favorite bartender works there!--Sara--AKA Gary. love that girl!
Things are coming together slowly with our house---got an email from the lady who is living there now and everything is on schedule! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that nothing happens to slow it down.
I am at work today---SLOWEST day ever! Watching people buy there fruits and vegetables from the farmers next door to us----there are some funny characters. And now I'm just cruising facebook trying to decide what to add to my birthday list--most of it is home decor items--go figure huh?? I can't help it--when it comes to clothes, shoes, accessories, and home decor and furniture--I'm just a kid in a candy store. I have worked in retail since I was 16--I'll be 25 next month--so you do the math--I have been managers, inventory specialists, loss prevention,---I have worked on commission in my last 2 jobs with Alltel and AT&T and while I kicked ass at my job--I'm really glad to be out of that line of work. I miss clothes though----working with clothes--not that I miss wearing clothes---but what if we didn't have clothes?? we would walk around naked--no shoes--no hats--nothing to protect us from the sun--could you imagine the world just the way it is but with no clothes???---weird and gross at the same time----but do you think that people would be more in tune with how they look and take better care of themselves?--probably not.
I did love the cell phone business though--it really opened a whole new world to me in retail. Made me realize how much I enjoy electronics---I always have but just lost sight of it--now we have ipods--digital cameras--xbox--PlayStation's--GPS---digital video cameras---and cell phones that are small enough that you can hide them in your sock---well--if you wanted to. I have the new Blackberry Torch!---I just got it the other day--my mom went and upgraded her phone because she had dropped her Blackberry in the toilet!--whoops!----so she upgraded to the torch and did an insurance claim to get another Blackberry just like hers---she decided that she didn't like the torch so she passed it on to me and she went back to her old Blackberry.-----I honestly think that she just made up things she didn't like about the phone just so I would take it because she knows how much I wanted it. :-) Because I know that she really liked the phone---I could tell. You can't pull a fast one on me mom. ;-) But thanks. Love you. But yea we have soo many different things to choose from these days---I think as a society we are extremely spoiled. Society as a whole tells us how to dress, act, what to eat, and what is socially acceptable----well i'm here to say that it's a whole big bag of crap---if I want to covered from head to toe with tattoos why can't I be??--because society says your scary or not proffesional if you have tats?!---that is your opinion only---ANYWHO--i'll save the big long speach for another day.
Love EVERYONE!---Stay GREEN!! Please don't litter---our world has already been through enough.

Hot Child in the City!
I can be such a procrastinator when I wanna be--prime example---putting off doing this blog as long as I can. My life has been a giant tornado of busy-ness lately--I'm not sure if I told you--my job kinda got switched around and now I am a personal assistant to a lady that I was already working with--LOVE IT!!---probably the most excited I have ever been about a job since I got promoted to asst manager at gadzooks--and that was..........6 years ago??---and boy has a lot happened since those good ol days--I miss it at times--just all the uncertainty about everything at that time---added a cool mystery to it. Anyway--so I get promoted to PA---and on the side i'm still working a few days here and there at different facilities owned by the same company--at the same time my boss takes a vacay for some R&R and here I am--fresh into the new business and not having a clue what I'm doing. :-D Needless to say---it was a very interesting week while she was gone. I got a lot of hands on training when it comes to rental properties and how to handle the day to day activities associated with that------that same week----Ross goes to Dallas---so i'm on my own taking care of Liam--seeing him the sitter every morning at 8am--then hurrying to work or to a rental property to do a showing----skipping over lunches because everything was just crazy busy---guess it didn't help that it was the week before school was starting back up----i've probably spent over 125dollars on gas in 1 1/2 weeks already----then getting off work just to pick Liam up from the babysitters---to home and to sleep. WHEW. Ross birthday is next week---so... busy as a bee getting all his stuff planned!--pretty excited though because it's just another reason for all us friends to get together and eat good food and drink good wine---but its even more special because it's yo birthday! oh yess...
I found a house to rent finally!---Ross gave me the location of where he would prefer to live and it's the worst part of town to try and find anything other than people selling--but finally there was a ray of hope! And now my condo is just full of boxes--pictures propped against the wall--and cleaning supplies---unfortunately our move date falls on the weekend of one of my friends bachelorette party----that was going to be the highlight of this month--well next month---very beginning!----and now i'm stuck in town moving... :-( boooooooo

So now I'm just sitting at work--slow day-- :-) ---ready to be off work and with Liam. So ready to be moved into our new house---Ross and I went to walmart together for the first time in I don't know how long and he was like a kid in a candy store---saying we need this and this and this and this and this for our house....it was pretty cute. I'm usually the one talking about home decor and furniture--it was really nice to see him get excited about the move---especially since he will be closer to work----thats a bonus all in itself! If he's happy then i'm happy. :-)
You might have noticed my new gnarly picture--and here is the thing---I really like crazy random things---some may say that's inappropriate---who CARES! don't look at it. That pic was taken during a birthday party of my very BESTEST friend in the whole wide world--Miss Michelle---she is my rockstar girlfriend and I love everything about her...so when her and I go out---lives change---hahah! ;-) and of course I had my girl Jenny there holdin it down with her new fierce red hair---Oh how I love my red heads.
We should form our own little "entourage"---for those of you who have been invited to the one floating around facebook--i'm so sorry. The most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. If you need to know what i'm talking about then feel free to ask---not trying to knock your idea---whoever you are--but seriously??----somehow I think your IQ dropped as you were creating that group. :-) Just my opinion. Don't like it-----click that little red x at the top right of your screen.

I'm gonna blow your mind!!
Wow---so it's been a week since I last blogged and boy has it been one CRAZY BUSY week. Between wedding showers--auctions--Liam--finding a house--Ross--friends--and work I am BEAT!
Last weekend was wonderfully busy---I always find that the busier I am--the more time goes by faster to the fun stuff. We had our auction on Saturday---and that was interesting---i'm glad that I didn't have to talk really fast--it was more like a snails race to the end.
On sunday I had Katies wedding shower and it was awesome! I loved katies dress---CLASSIC is the only word that can perfectly describe her and the dress--it reminded me of Audry Hepburn. :-) The wedding shower was beautiful and at the home of our friend Cheryl---i loved her house!--i'm kind of a freak when it comes to home decor--cabinets--appliances--what ever---but the cabinets in this kitchen were B-E-A-UTIFUL.
Earlier in the day I laid out by the pool for about an hour--my plan was to lay our for about 2 and half hours but I got attacked by a swarm of wasps that wanted to do nothing but sting me--maybe I was laying on top of a nest??--hmmm--who knows--but now I have this welp on my back that itches like crazy! ugh..stupid insects.
This whole work week has just been a mad house---mostly because we have had more move out then move ins---which sucks because its actually more work for someone to move out then to move in--don't even ask me why.
So now my agenda for the rest of the week is to get geared up for my girl Michelles bday!! WOOT WOOT! no idea whats in store for us but everytime we get together it's unforgettable for one reason or a millions others! lol--i can't wait!
Also starting to pack up my condo and get ready to move across town to a house so my little man can play outside and have a basketball goal (thanks ross) and more room to move around and grow. SO EXCITED!
I'm going to add more to this blog later on in the day so check back when you can!
Stay GREEN and LOVE!

Birthdays and Babies!
Good Morning!
I am hoping that everyone had a wonderful evening and night last night--I know we sure did! First off I would like to say Happy Birthday to a dear friend of mine--Katie!--muah! (and if you haven't noticed by now--I don't put last names or where I live because anyone can find this out on the internet--and I prefer to not be stalked by crazy psycho killers.)
So yesterday I go home for lunch---Ro is there with Liam because he has the day off--Liam goes down for a nap and Ross opens up his lunch he got from Taco Bell---sighs with frustation--Ro likes his hard tacos with beef and cheese only---no lettuce--no tomatoes---and of course they have it allllll on there after he told them not to---so I went back up to Taco Bell and got him some more tacos---and this time I tell them NO LETTUCE OR TOMATOS!--just beef and cheese---and I check them before I pull out of the drive through and all I see is beef and cheese---good deal--so I get home and hand him his new and improved tacos and he opens them up and what does he see---??---sour cream. HOW HARD IS IT TO TAKE A FOOD ORDER?? Idiots.
Now I know that I didn't say no sour cream----but seriously do I even have to??? when I already said JUST beef and cheese. C'mon people.
So I get home---and he gives me his old tacos and I eat 1/3 of them---lost my appetite at that point. I get back to work and finish up my day---leaving promptly at 5:30. I rush home so I can see my men and of course Liam is there waiting for me with a big smile on his face! MOMMY!---well more like mamamamama. We get him squared away and I raid my closet to find something to wear for Katies birthday dinner downtown---I dress up every day for work so I just did some black shorts--with a white v neck T and some chunky jewlry--casual cute. :-) Terri (ross mom) shows up to watch the kiddo (who is already asleep for the night :-( )) for 2 hours--so sweet of her. LOVE YOU! So all of us showed up--Rachel and Shaun, Aaron and Lindsey, Josh and Cheryl, John, Rusty and Katie, Martin and Jamie, and Ross and myself...and it was a wonderful dinner---good food--GREAT food---great friends--and good times---a perfect evening! We wrap up the evening and Ro and I head home for the night---we get home and Terri is watching Angels and Demons (a movie that I have never seen but want to) and I caught the tail end of it--and it looks AMAZING--so that may be on my agenda tonight when I get off work and get home. Just Liam and myself tonight while Ross is at work till the weeeeee hours of the morning. I'll probably have some company over. :-)
Well thats all for now folks!
Stay Green and LOVE!

Being in love doesn't mean it has to be a certain way
Okay---So I would like to dedicate todays post to all the happily married couples--and those who are engaged!--how exciting!
So this is what I want to know---we have seen how our parents relationships have worked out--we have seen the many relationships around us prosper and or wither away--I want to know why on earth some of the few people that I know of (not including those who I know are awesomely in love) felt like there has to be play by play on how relationships are--dating--then meet the parents--introduce some sort of animal to the mix--more dating--then engaged for however long--then married. I LOVE to love---quite frankly I think I'm addicted to being in love--and like I said back in my first post I have had my heart broken and vice verse but it all ends up the same in the end. When you are truly in love with someone--nothing in the world matters then that one person---the world stops moving when that person isn't around--you would do and say things that maybe you normally never would have. Love changes lives and changes people--and for me---it saved my life from going down one long endless dark tunnel. Ross and I got pregnant 8 months into our relationship---and we had our fair share of ups and downs up until that point but there is no were in the world that I would rather be then hanging out with Ro. We didn't want to get married because I got pregnant--the last thing I would EVER want to hear or ever have anyone say about me is "oh well she got married because she got knocked up"---ha!--fools. We want to get married when we want to get married--we want our wedding--our day--our everything to be because we wanted it--because we choose to be with each other---because it was the love that brought us together and kept us together. And if I'm really going to do this whole wedding thing one day then by gawd I want to do it the way we want it and not just throwing something together at the last minute. Now this is just my preference!---I'm not judging anyone for any choices made--this is just merely my take and my opinion on my life. Its just that things aren't scripted---things aren't a certain way---and things certainly don't happen according to plan all the time.
I know there are going to be some of you out there--that are going to say--well I did exactly that--and all I have to say is that's wonderful for you--what works for me doesn't work for everyone--whether its because of religious views or your own preference--I think you did exactly what you wanted and that's all that matters.
I am enjoying my time with Ross and Liam without any of the pressures of having to plan the big day ( don't get me wrong---when that day comes---you will ALLLLLLL know about it everyday until the day). I just love taking the time to savor each and every moment with my family--and being able to just plan for what to do this weekend. I'm happy--my family is happy---and that is the bottom line. Just be happy---be in love and the rest will follow.
So I want to know YOUR story---fill me in---I'm all ears!---well ear. :-)
Here is a wonderful metaphor for love that I came across---and it speaks directly to everyone.
.....A Destroyer. A really good love affair will annihilate something about the lovers prior self. Maybe new boundaries will be penetrated, maybe certain beliefs and views will change. The very best encounters will leave one a completely different person, oblitirate the old self completely. Sometimes a dart from Cupid is exactly what we need to nudge off the wrong path in life, to jolt us out of a rut, force us to take back control from the autopilot. In order to fall in love, one must be ready (deep down) to let go of things and put some faith in fate: to bid farewell and release the old and open one's arms to the new.

So last night when I left work I went to pick up my little boy from the babysitter---went to my moms to visit with her for a bit and then when I got home at 630--Liam was ready for bed--so off he goes to bed for the night and then I crashed on the couch and watched episode after episode of The Office until I passed out.
Yesterday was soooo over rated! too much to do and not enough hours in the day. Ross comes home at or around 1--gives me a kiss and heads out to hang out with some of his friends----ahhhhh I love having the whole bed to myself--I can just sprawl out to every corner and no one is there to tell me otherwise.
Everyone have a wonderful day!
Stay green!
Love!

And if I'm really going to do this whole wedding thing one day then by gawd I want to do it the way we want it and not just throwing something together at the last minute. Now this is just my preference!---I'm not judging anyone for any choices made--this is just merely my take and my opinion on my life. Its just that things aren't scripted---things aren't a certain way---and things certainly don't happen according to plan all the time.
I know there are going to be some of you out there--that are going to say--well I did exactly that--and all I have to say is that's wonderful for you--what works for me doesn't work for everyone--whether its because of religious views or your own preference--I think you did exactly what you wanted and that's all that matters.
I am enjoying my time with Ross and Liam without any of the pressures of having to plan the big day ( don't get me wrong---when that day comes---you will ALLLLLLL know about it everyday until the day). I just love taking the time to savor each and every moment with my family--and being able to just plan for what to do this weekend. I'm happy--my family is happy---and that is the bottom line. Just be happy---be in love and the rest will follow.
So I want to know YOUR story---fill me in---I'm all ears!---well ear. :-)
Here is a wonderful metaphor for love that I came across---and it speaks directly to everyone.
.....A Destroyer. A really good love affair will annihilate something about the lovers prior self. Maybe new boundaries will be penetrated, maybe certain beliefs and views will change. The very best encounters will leave one a completely different person, oblitirate the old self completely. Sometimes a dart from Cupid is exactly what we need to nudge off the wrong path in life, to jolt us out of a rut, force us to take back control from the autopilot. In order to fall in love, one must be ready (deep down) to let go of things and put some faith in fate: to bid farewell and release the old and open one's arms to the new.

So last night when I left work I went to pick up my little boy from the babysitter---went to my moms to visit with her for a bit and then when I got home at 630--Liam was ready for bed--so off he goes to bed for the night and then I crashed on the couch and watched episode after episode of The Office until I passed out.
Yesterday was soooo over rated! too much to do and not enough hours in the day. Ross comes home at or around 1--gives me a kiss and heads out to hang out with some of his friends----ahhhhh I love having the whole bed to myself--I can just sprawl out to every corner and no one is there to tell me otherwise.
Everyone have a wonderful day!
Stay green!
Love!

What a crazy weekend.
Okay! So I do hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend. Friday for me was a mad house at work--this weekend since Friday has been kind of a blur so you'll have to bare with me on my memory.
Friday started out like any other day--other than the fact that Liam woke up every 2 hours during the night--little boy just couldn't get comfortable--he has a cold and runny nose so i'm sure that he wasn't feeling the best either--EXHAUSTED come the morning--Ross got up with me that day and took Liam to the babysitter while I went to work--PAYDAY!--favorite day. :-) Today I had such a full day that I skipped over lunch and just kept on moving to keep my momentum up and going---I just didn't want to lose steam! So Cassie brought me some tacos from BA burrito--yummm---kept on trekking through my day--paperwork--sell a unit---paperwork--vacate a unit--paperwork--cleaning--and then just to circle back around and do the same stuff over and over again--people in and out allllll day--the busiest day I have seen since I have started here.
Finished up that day and picked up my little man and put him to bed as soon as we got home--he was just worn out. Then I say my butt on the couch and watched The Office and then The Runaways---Kristen Stewart is def different in this movie---all I could think was Bella what are you doing here with black mullet inspired hair making out with Dakota Fanning---WAIT--isn't she that scary vamp chick too??? way to go guys for pulling your sources. Good movie none the less though. Passed out on the couch--managed to peel myself off the couch at 10 and climb into bed.
Saturday!--ross and I both had the day off---I got up with Liam and fed him breakfast and played with him for a while and then around 1 I got to go hang out with my girl chelle---I hadn't had the chance to see her since she had been back in town for like 2-3 weeks-ish. Ross was awesome letting me go hang out with her while he watched boy---Chelle and I went to eat at Uppercrust and we were going to go see a flick but then the pull of the icy cold beers was just too tempting! haha! I swear they have the best mug beer in town. We sat and chatted for good while--another one of our friends showed up to eat by his lonesome but we convinced him to hang with us so that was an added bonus. Then we packed up and took a quick detour to my friend jennys and pretty much fell asleep at soon as we got there! were such wimps! lol. Then chelle and I got home---Liam was already asleep in bed by 6--Ro took off at that point to go hang out with some of his friends--so Michelle and I took a 4 hour nap just to wake up at 10--cook dinner and watch movies till 1am--SLUMBER PARTY!--
Sunday!--Sunday morning--woke up at 7am--got liam up and fixed him breakfast--loaded him up in the truck with Chelle--took her home and them Liam and I raided wally world. Ross had to work today from 3 till whenever--i'm pretty sure he got home by 1 last night--I don't really remember.
Jenny and Matt came over and hung out with me--and attempted to show me how to play the guitar--which FAILED--it won't be too hard to learn and I'm dead set on doing this so wish me luck---after that attempt on that we decided to catch up on some Prison Break, Red Dead Redemption, and then The Hangover!---i love that movie---be still my heart Bradley cooper. ;-)---and that was the end of my weekend.
Till next time!
Stay green!---and LOVE!
