I thought the saying was "April showers bring May flowers"??

I don't know about any of you guys but I am thinking its a little abnormal to have this ridiculous weather in the end of May!?
In California of all places.
I woke up this morning to my house shaking to no not an earthquake (which would be normal for California at anytime of the year) but instead extremely loud thunder, wind, and yes HAIL!
I also heard through the grapevine that it snowed again in the mountains! Something crazy is going on!
I just want my summer!!!!!!!
Who would have thought I would hear my heater click on this time of year in the middle of the day because the temperature in my house dropped below 60 and not because I had to turn my air conditioner on!
Even our dog Minnie who loves staying outside is refusing to stay outside!

Well, Chandler's birthday is coming up, about 2 weeks!
Usually I make his invitations and have them sent out a month in advance. But this year i caved in and just bought already made invites, and I haven't even sent them out yet.
Part of me feels really guilty for not making them this year.
I really hate the invitations that you buy at the store. Everyone has them, and I thought maybe when Bing gets older he will appreciate seeing all the different invitations I made for each one of his parties.
But with the wedding and honeymoon I just never had the time to go out and get all of the stuff to actually make them.
So this year he has Batman invitations, filled out by moi!
This year we are also having his party at our itty bitty house. I am hoping that I can fit all the people and a bounce house in my backyard, and I am really hoping that the above weather is done with!

Side note: As I am typing, I am finding out that Chandler's two favorite letters are "W" and "M" he is pointing out every single one in the blog and on the keyboard.

Here Goes Nothing...

Well I am definitely not a blogger, or a writer but I have recently read a few blogs of people I don't even know and feel like I could get a lot out of writing on a daily basis. So here I go...

Most of you know that Josh and I recently got married, May 1, 2010. I'd have to say after all the stress and work that went into it, it turned out to be the most beautiful day! It was freezing, but everything I had ever dreamed of, more actually! I just can't believe how fast it all went by. An entire year of planning all for 5 hours that goes by like 5 minutes! I loved getting into my dress and knowing that I was about to walk down the aisle with my daddy to meet my HUSBAND (I love saying that). I was beyond nervous though to walk down the aisle and know there were 175 people staring at ME!

Josh and I have done most things in our lives together in an nontraditional manner. We met, moved in together, got pregnant and 5 years later got married. And regardless of what people may think I believe that we are a much stronger couple because of the way we did things. I am so glad we waited to get married, when we knew we were ready. We overcame obstacles that a lot of couples married or not have a difficult time getting through. We had opportunities to get out and walk away but we chose to grow together and make our relationship work and be as strong as possible. Josh is without a doubt my best friend, my life partner, the man I was meant to be with FOREVER! Our wedding day, next to the day that I had Chandler was the best day of my life.

Josh and I are living in Yucaipa, Josh grew up here, and I guess I technically did the majority of my "growing up" here as well (the last 13 years). We are living in the same SMALL mobile home that we have been for the last 5 years and grew out of it about ummmm 4 years ago (when we had Chandler). We have been looking for a house to buy on and off for the last year, with no luck. We have a few financial things to smooth out so we are hoping maybe in the next 6 months we can buy what will possibly be our "dream home". Josh is working for a merchandising company and works a lot of nights, hence the reason I am up at 2am writing a blog! I hate sleeping alone! He is going to school hoping to get into the Fire department. He is working really hard at it. So maybe by next year he will be my sexy husband in a uniform... ooolala. LOL. Sorry. I am currently going to school, which I feel is a never ending process to become an elementary school teacher. I am now in my 2nd year and feel like I am not even close to actually teaching! I keep going back and forth, wondering if maybe I should change my major, go to a trade school, something where I can have a career in less time. But then I remind myself I don't want to be stuck doing something I don't love. I wish at times that I was more creative, so I could just be one of those people who one day think of a great idea and then the next they have started their own successful business. Maybe one day that wish will come true.

Chandler is about to turn 4 years old (June 5th). I cannot believe how fast the time went by, I know everyone says that but it's so true, you don't even realize it and then one day your wondering where the time went. He is so energetic and crazy, he has an awesome personality and sense of humor, and makes me laugh 100x throughout the day. I am astounded by how smart he is. He is very opinionated and lets you know how things should be. He loves Batman, and sometimes requires that we call him Batman. I am so grateful to have such an amazing son who tells me he loves me a million times a day and gives me hugs and kisses just as much. He is my miracle baby, and I am so blessed!

Well I think that is it for my first blog. I hope that it wasn't too boring and I hope it was a good start, and I really hope that after all the time I spent creating the blog I can keep up with it.

Goodnight! <3
