It's only be almost 2 years!

Well life as an accidental mommy has happened again! Josh & I got engaged April 16th, 2011, 3 days later.... we found out we were having another oops a baby! About a month later we decided we were moving to Alabama for Josh to pursue his dreams of becoming a lawyer. So here we sit 8 months later and learning a whole new life!

First off we welcomed our amazing little boy Colton David on Dec 20 and our life has changed yet again but in the most amazing way! It is simply amazing to get to go through all the baby stages again but this time we get to see them through a toddlers eyes as he giggles with delight as his new little brother smiles at him and laughs! We also get to see our little boy grow into an amazing big brother and wow is he the best!

However life in Alabama has not be so easy, it was very hard to adjust to not having family or friends near and it has seemed that the statement out of sight out of mind rings true with the friends from home (no offense to any of you - I am sure you feel the same from my end) It was so very hard not to take it personally at first but I totally get it now and love my friends all the same and even more - because I can truly appreciate every aspect of our friendships now!

Finding a job was a joke and it only got harder the more pregnant I got! So I gave up at about 7 months pregnant. Now that Colton is 3 months I am still jobless but we make it work. I am leaving to go home for a month and when I get back I will be a full fledged licensed teacher for the state of AL. And will hopefully have an amazing high paying job so josh can quite his job and focus on school.... Keep your fingers crossed this mama stresses over that too much and would LOVE a break!!!

We are also in the process of finding someplace new to live but that is hard too - go figure! Our main reason for moving - our neighbors, and the layout of our townhome just isn't working with two kids. Oh and we need a yard really bad! So I just keep packing on the stress and moving on . I have my days where it builds up and I just cry and usually call Josh and say "I give up" it doesn't take much from him and I am back to my normal self taking on the world, kickin ass, and doing it all with a baby on my hip and a toddler clinging to my leg!

I have to be honest a friend said she was wanting to start to blog and well it reminded me that I have been thinking about this blog a lot lately and that it is the perfect place for me to be honest and get it all out into the universe! So I am hoping to take a few minutes before bed each night to clear my thoughts and put it down here. I will get more organized and it will be more about my daily adventures of a mom, almost wife, woman, friend, sister, daughter, aunt, friend you name it! Just wanted to give a quick up date in my life. So from the big comfy bed of Laura & Josh this is Laura signing off for the night! ooo now I sound like a news caster! Amazing!

Wow what a bad blogger I am

I totally forgot all about posting - in my defense it has been a super long weekend. I hope this week goes by fast as my little monster turns one year old on saturday! Where or where does the time go? It is so bitter sweet for me, I love all the new stages and watching him grow and learn and develop but I really do miss the days when I could just hold and snuggle him all day long, and the little new born cries, and the one thing that would always sooth him was being held and snuggled. Now hes on the go every waking minute of the day rarely time to stop and see what mom is up to much less give a quick hug!

I did make a break through this weekend and have decided it is time to be happy - no matter what! I am sick of living my life for everyone else and making sure that whatever I do I am not letting anyone else down. Well now it's time for mommy (and of course my son) I need more me time, I need to spend money on me when I go shopping, I need to start putting me first from time to time. And I feel like this would be a great place to keep track of it! So.... you ask what did I do for me today......
Spent a little time doing what I wanted to at work on the computer.
Got McDonalds Breakfast YUMMY
Thats it so far today but the day is only half over!
I will try to be back later today or tomorrow for more adventures from lil life

My very first day as a blogger!

Well folks, here it goes..........................I am an official blogger now! Woooooo hoooooo This feels great and freeing and down right amazing! Alright Alright I am over that now. Well today has been an interesting day for me, woke up late got to work late, but decided to go grocery shopping quick so picked up some food for DS and ran it home quick and then back to work.  I also kind of got offered another job today. Which is awesome because I have been looking however....it would be a pay cut with longer hours and I would have to find daycare for DS. But in the end would it be worth my sanity? Could we make it work? Do I really want this job or just anything but my current job?

I like my job right now but after three years, no raise, and no where else to climb not sure this is where I am supposed to be.....I am completely under appreciated and valued and it is starting to show in my work, and I really don't feel like I want to be the kind of worker that just sluffs off all day long. I am bored and need a change and feel the wind is blowing my sails in a new direction!

I think that is about it for now hopefully this heat and humidity goes away soon, mommy needs to get outside and get some fresh air and not be covered in sweat!

Oh yea don't hesitate to ask me questions - I will try to answer them all to the best of my ability!
