Adjustments

First things first, for those who don't know Cecilia recently had her front four teeth removed and two silver caps put two of her lower teeth. Here is the picture of the mass amounts of cotton they stuffed her with afterward.

She looked so pitiful after it all and then she said she was tired and crashed...poor thing refused to let go of her teeth in the envelope too! lol






Also, Jared left on the 27th. Wow was that difficult. Yes, I know that everyone else has had to do the saying goodbye to the husband/dad thing at least once...but we hadn't before and frankly it sucks!
We miss him like totally crazy and the girls are taking it really hard, Cecilia doesn't even want to get out of bed for school...a REALLY weird occurrence...
Before he left we took pictures of him for him to take in his wallet and for us to keep while he is gone to look at... her are some of them.











Getting the girls to smile proved no small task as they knew it was time to say goodbye...These were taken about 3 hours till bingo.










As far as other life happenings, school has started and I am back in full force. I absolutely love most of my classes though they are all sure to give me a run for my money this semester, especially with three needy girls to handle all day long! But, the way I see it, millions of people do this everyday, and they are no better then me...so i can get through this just fine...

Besides, it is semi-hysterical to think of Jared getting his butt kicked at Basic and doing mass amounts of push ups...lol I love that guy!

School is on the horizon...eeck!

ok.
i changed my major!
Before you say anything like "again?!" hear me out.
I just had to.
There, that's my argument!
My new major is pre-dental hygiene and I am actually thinking this one is going last! lol

When taking Cecilia to the dentist today, I had this sudden urge to trade places with the hygienist. Since such a move would have proved extremely detrimental to Cecilia's mouth and found me lying on the floor taser-ed and seizing like a giant beetle recently sprayed with Windex (did that today!), I buried this urge and instead began to ponder the lifestyle that would come attached to such a career move.

Ok, it may seem rash to you... but let's face it it's not your career! lol
Seriously though, I feel that this is going to be one heck of a ride and I would really enjoy doing this for time and all eternity..besides, hygienist make killer money and the prospect of dentistry on the doctor level will still be there for upgrades!

So, this now means that instead of simple and passive english papers this semester and every one after that, my new schedule is full of Chemistry, Biology, and Physiology to boot!
What a headache!
As far as Jared's career move to the military, we are still in the waiting game. He has signed a contract to ship on the 28th of August, but he never swore in so he will be returning to MEPS tomorrow morning to try and change some things on his contract and swear in so it is official.
This just means I will be alone and senile during my upcoming school semester and will be found, upon my husbands arrival, to be bald, scabby faced (from scratching my own eyes out), and insane beyond medical help.

I am so excited!

There is another post in the same month.
I think this deserves massive amounts of oooh-s and ahhhh-s!
So leave your comments and I will return the favor!

Fourth of July and other stuff!

Well... I don't have much to say because it all sounds too depressing anyway! lol
So here is the good stuff!

I love my new job (Toys R Us!)
I can't wait to ship my husband off.... if that day ever comes (we are looking at two weeks tops! yea!)
And we had a great Fourth of July with family and friends.

Here are some pictures.







We went on the third to the park and got there WAY TOO EARLY...we waited for the fireworks for 3 hours!
Here is the family waiting for the fireworks show at the river....
Jared was behind the camera this time!











Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for fireworks on the fourth.. we got to visit with Uncle Aaron and Aunt Sarah. Here are some more pictures, these include our cool fireworks pics from that night.

new home

Once again we find ourselves in a new home....in the same city...in the same zip code!

We love this house, just as we have loved our past 5 homes. This new move makes 6 homes in less then four years for Jared and I.

I AM SO SICK OF MOVING!

But this beautiful jungle that we now live in is a big and wonderful blessing that we were not expecting. So, we are taking it with smiles and enjoying our new life...again

Oh, and we got a kitty. Prettiest little tabby-cat you ever did see.
her name is Princess Dandelion. Ten bucks says you can guess who named her! lol

Well, that is it for now. Busy

Besides, no one else keeps updated anymore!

What is going on in our neck of the woods...and w/ Pictures!

First of all, there have been some cosmetic changes around here.
For instance...Ciara got her ears pierced and Cecilia got her hair cut off...literally (missing in action hair!)
Here is the look.
Also..here are a couple of shots from the recent snow-a-ba-looza we had that I never posted... hehehehe

For some, this may not seem like alot...but it was fun-all-day snow for us!

It forever phases me the desire my children have to be such posers... Cecilia for instance begged me a short while a go for a photo shoot! In those exact words! So , we took some pictures that she posed for herself...location and all!


See what I mean! hahaha I may not have the picture taking skills you have Andrea and Javier and Mom, but I think she turned out quite beautiful!
Let's see.
I am out of work for awhile. This stinks because I am the only one making an income and the army is telling Jared a minimum of thirty days before he can get a second meps date for his contract because of some waivers. I think it's horse poop...but that's just me!
School is over with in two weeks...roughly. I have exams the last few days of the month and one on the 1st. Then hallelujah! Once school is finished I can go on post for a better job with more security but right now I have class on the days they have the job fairs. That will help alot.
Our house is officially on the market. As soon as someone wants to buy it and signs some papers we are out of here...to only God knows where.
That is about it for us right now.
Sorry, i know it's been awhile. Things here are normal...which means they are a little bit on the crazy side.
Till later

updates here...come and get them!

So...life here is pretty much the same
Nothing much has changed
We are dealing with school as usual
The kids have been sick off and on for about 2 weeks
I am working more then I have time for
But I love it!
Jared finally has all his time from work back...no more absences against him
He might be able to pull off a transfer of jobs
He is getting tired of the position he has right now

So, how is everyone right now?
I need some feedback!

Because an entire person's existence relies on my words...

So.
Today I slept in.
Till 9!!!
Then I skipped classes, because my head hurt so bad I couldn't barely move...
and went back to bed!
Next week I am going to start working with a personal trainer at the university.
I really need to get back into shape, and I think having someone there to help with the motivation will make it happen alot sooner then if I am just relying on myself.

I am kinda excited about it.

School is going. No plus or minuses yet.
Just neutral feelings toward the whole endeavor.

So, there is the update.
Another post.
And evidence of my lack of life.

Enjoy you miserable person!
Enjoy!


hahaha

What was and what is

So 2007 has come and gone.
We moved, as usual, that year.
This gave us the grand total of 5 moves in 3 1/2 years.
And they say our lives are nothing like those in the military! ha!
Cecilia started kindergarten. That was difficult.
I started college. Why oh why?!?!?!?
Jared finished his first year of college!
He has been at his job at the DC for 3 years now.
Ciara turned terrible two, though that year affected her evilness little to none.
Cadie turned one!!!!!!! I just can't live with that. Who said they could get bigger?!?!
Jared and I made it to 3 years...here's to many more. Again...Why oh why?!?!?! haha

So now we are in 2008.
Cecilia will finish kindergarten in a few months.
Ciara is officially potty trained, though night time diapers are still in order.
Cadince won't stop walking...into everything! lol

Jared and I will be sophomores in August.
I work at my favorite restraunt and couldn't be happier.
We will hit 4 years this year...oh mylanta! hehe
There are sure to be many more challenges this year as in the previous.
God sure knows how to keep us on our toes!
But...
Here's to life
Financial stability
Friendships
Comfort
A home for more then 12 months!
Great kids
Growing old together
Family...
and finding ourselves again this year.

Have a great '08 everyone.

End of the Semester

Just a quick update and FYI moment.

The Fall semester of 2007 is complete and the grades are in.
I did better then I averaged!
Jared did fantastirific!!!

My G.P.A. after my first semester is a 3.7857!!!
Jared's, after 2 semesters, is a 3.2857!!!

We are very excited, and I have to say that I am very proud of Jared. He was slipping there for a moment, but he pulled everything up and ended with an A in stats and a B in Spanish!

My only B was in Anatomy and Physiology Lecture! It was difficult, but not impossible. I think I might have done better if I had taken the class on campus, but now I know.

Also, I finally found a good job that I am very excited about.
I have been looking for a job that I can regulate my own hours for school time and still bring home enough money to count.
I start at Hananoki, the local Japanese restaurant, tomorrow morning!!!!
Yeah!!!!!

Okay. Small update over.
Try commenting on this one this time!!! Or no more for a month!!!!

I'm Done! I'm Done!

Go me Go me Go me!!!!!!!
Okay, so I am a tad bit excited....
I finished my last final tonight!
That means that I have completed my first semester of school!
This may seem like not a lot to some....
but after all I have been through, I couldn't be prouder of where I am!
My G.P.A. is 3.6
It's not what it should be by far.
But, considering this semesters' circumstances
and all the drama that has interfered with our daily lives
and the 3 kids factor
plus not having been in school for 3 years prior to college
I think I did a bang up job
Of course, a G.P.A like this will definitely not do fro next semester
I am taking 18 hours (the max)
That means I need 6 A's
A 4.0.....or maybe even a 3.8 is acceptable I suppose.
But we'll get there!

Now, to happier news
I am so going Christmas shopping on Saturday!
I finally have a good amount to shop with and I am oober excited!
I am going with Katrina and Laura and Jared is watching all 10 kids.
What a trooper!
8 hours of baby sitting!
I love it! hehehehehehehehehe

Well, guess you should just leave some comments in light of the holiday season.
No one likes a stingy commenter! hehehehe
Santa is watching after all!
Merry Christmas!
