Big Update

As I read over my previous posts, I realized that there are a lot of things that I needed to update about.  For one thing, I no longer sell Avon or Lia Sophia jewelry. Although making a few more dollars here and there was nice, it was really putting a lot into my schedule and stress in to my mind that I really just didn't have time for. But I have replaced the "time" part with being more active in my church and my relationship with God. The 2nd thing is that I never got to book our cruise :( David and I's 3rd Anniversary is July 31st and as of right now we have NO plans at all and really no money to plan anything. Its sad but oh well. And I just looked at the calendar and he is schedule to work that day anyways so we probably wont be doing anything special. Possibly dinner when he gets off work. 3rd thing: I started drinking coffee again. Which I will stop again now seeing as coffee was one reason why i would gain a couple lbs whenever I drink it. lol. I can't help but to put about 5 hazelnut creamers in my coffee and 6 packets of splenda or I seriously can not drink it. It has to be sweet and flavorful. So, wish me luck with that because that is really one thing I look forward to everyday lol. 4th:  My girls have grown. They have grown and things have changed since this blog started. Serenity is now 5 and going on 15. She is beautiful and smart and funny and I am so blessed to have her in my life. She has no idea how much of a blessing she is in her own perfect way. She is starting to get a little bit of a smart mouth (what 5 year old girl doesn't?) but she is also starting to get that self consciousness about herself and that breaks my heart. But that is a whole other post that I am pre-parring to write about tomorrow. Scarlett on the other hand is ALMOST 15 months old now. She is walking and starting to talk now :) She says Mama like its going out of style! I told her the other day that I am going to change my name! haha She is such a cuddle baby. This morning when I dropped them off with Gee before I headed to work I had Serenity on my lap and Scarlett beside me on the couch and Serenity asked me "do you have too much girls on you?" I said "NO WAY! Are you kiddin me?! I can never have enough of my girls on me!" lol It's little moments like that that steal my heart and dig its way into my memory forever. Scarlett is also a daddy's girl and LOVES to be outside. She takes my car keys and try's to put them in the door to make it open. She is a mess. She is also sleeping much better now. She usually goes to bed between 6:30-7:30 and sleeps all the way through to around 5:30-6:30..some luck days she will sleep until 7 or even 7:30!  She is also a blessing. She made this family complete. She changed our lives all for the better. Scarlett and Serenity's beautiful sisterly bond puts tears in my eyes sometimes and I can already hear them in my thoughts 10-20 years down the road. First yelling at each other and then playing together and sharing secrets. I think the best thing that I could have EVER given my girls, is each other. Oh and last but not least- I didn't get a new car :( We went to go look at a 2011 Toyota Corolla S right around the time that I blogged about looking at a new car. We could have gotten it but the payments they wanted were $589 a month! They were crazy and we high tailed it outta there! We haven't really looked at getting another car since then. It will probably be coming soon though. My car is starting to give me a little bit of trouble. We just had to replace the thermostat and now a belt is squealing. Anyways, I just wanted to update on a few things that were never followed up on. I plan to blog more often to keep myself accountable to my band. :) I also have 4.5 CC's in my band now. My next appointment is 7/7. I will post another blog tomorrow, until then have a nice day!
