it's been a while...

Well I haven't blogged in a while. Seems like we have been busy doing all sorts of things lately. I love doing family outings. Just last week we went to the museum, bowling, had the twins birthday with a couple people over, and drove to New Jersey and back along with Mothers day on Sunday. So wow I love my life. I am still loving it here in Connecticut. I'll be sad the day we ever leave this place. The only thing I do not love is that it's not summer yet here. The high tomorrow is only 49 but this is something I expected before getting here. One thing that is different now is that i try not to take advantage of any time with my kids and husband anymore because after being apart for a while you realize that every moment is special and should be cherished. My babies, well not babies anymore, turned 3 on friday! It is crazy just since they actually turned 3 they seem so much older. They got presents galore and have enjoyed every single one of them! they have for sure hit the barbie stage which i love because i remember playing barbies when i was younger. it was my favorite thing to do! We took them out in the garage today to ride their bikes for the first official time. it was too cold to go out to the park :(. And to my surprise they did awesome! We had to readjust sadie's bike because she is so long legged and once we did she just started peddling! She didn't want anyone helping her. She said "got it got it got it!" lol Sydney on the other hand was saying "daddy push me" and she could do it with his help. I was proud of both of them for trying so hard. It's amazing how different they both are in everything they do! I am so blessed to have two perfectly different little girls! They are the lights of my life and i will cry in 14 months from now when they are starting pre-k.

this is the life

Ever since I have been here i just feel pure joy. I wake up happy. I go to bed happy. I love it here in Connecticut. I love how it looks here, I love that it starts getting light at 5:30 a.m. I love how it can be cloudy rainy one second and then the next it is beautiful and sunny. I love our house. I love that the girls are so darn happy here and there is lots for us to do everyday. Most of all I love having our complete family again. I dont feel stressed here which is rare for me. I get excited about each new day that God has given me and that is how it should be. We shouldnt dread waking up but be thankful for each bright new day that we he has allowed us to wake up to. I love trusting in the Lord for all our needs. A year ago some days I would think "does God hate me?" seriously, HORRIBLE thought. But I know as Christians our valleys are lower and mountains are higher. Sometimes it takes being in your darkest night to realize "ok i need to trust HIM to lead me where HE wants me. Not my will but HIS. If we just realize to wait for his timing then the blessing will overflow and I am living proof. For once we dont have to worry about what bills are going to be paid and how dim our future looks. I feel like we are finally on track with our lives. We are where God wants us to be not where everyone else wants us to be. I'm going to take each day with a grain of salt and enjoy every second with my husband and kids and trust God to lead us wherever and whenever he so desires. I just want to give him thanks for everything he does because i'm living proof that if we trust him then he will bless you beyond belief!!!!

Where do I begin....

Ok so we got our internet set up today so I can catch you up on my world. Let me first start off by saying a little bit about our move here to CT. I was shocked at how good my girls were being 30 hours in the car. It just shows that they are getting older day by day because the end of January on our trip to Chicago they were not good. We went 13 hours the first day to make it to Nashville. We stayed the night with Tim's Aunt Brenda and her husband. They were so sweet and great hosts! We came in to an amazing home cooked dinner which tasted delicious esp since we had eaten Taco Bell for lunch. lol We slept great and headed on our way the next morning. We made it all the way to the border of Virginia and stayed at a really nice hotel for a great rate. It rocks being military when it comes to discounts for those types of things. I really do think I am going to enjoy our future in the military. The only crappy part is being away from Tim for long periods of time but it's nothing our love cant handle. Anyway back to it...the next morning we left at 6 a.m. and in the matter of 20 minutes we had gone through West Virginia and Maryland. Once we got to Pennsylvania we hit major construction and it took an hour and a half to go 3 miles! Not cool but fortunately the girls slept through that. We finally arrived at our new home at about 3:30. The girls were so happy to see there daddy! They would not let them out of their sight and Sydney did not want him to put her down. She is more of the daddy's girl. when he left to go get his stuff and finish up some paper work they cried. Every time he leaves to go to school or anything I think they are afraid that he is not coming back but I assure them that we will see him again later in the day. Since we got here I have just been filled with joy and the girls are extra happy too! Of course I miss my family but I love it here in Connecticut. It is beautiful here and our house omg better than i could imagine! It is perfect for our family so I will definitely miss it when we have to leave here. We could be here anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years so we'll see what happens. Right now we are just enjoying being a family again and going to try to do as many things as possible while we are here. We went to Build a Bear the other day and the girls had so much fun! I love going places with Tim again. It's like a weight is lifted and I can enjoy things more. We received all of our stuff from the moving company on Saturday. Those guys did an amazing job! We got everything very quickly and they unpacked that truck within like an hour and a half! Today I'm going to try to get the rest of it unpacked. I am going to post pics as I go because I have had a few people ask to see some and am happy to share them with my family and friends. It is kinda strange living in a different state. There are different laws here and apparently you can go 30 miles over the speed limit and not get pulled over but if you are on a cell phone then TICKET. lol they are really strict on that law but speeding not so much.The speed limit on the main highway here is 55 and I will be going 65 and have people passing me right and left. I keep forgetting and have answered my phone a few times while I am driving. ha. Also we have to recycle certain things here. It is a mandatory recycling state which I think is great but is something I have to get use to. Well I guess that is all for now. I am overwhelmed with the blessings and am so thankful for God's great love. Excited about the life he has given us and what is to come!

one word: EXHAUSTED!

So this past week has been a whirlwind!!! But it's one week closer to seeing my love so that is definitely a plus. Friday morning the movers came bright and early and they were so incredibly nice and one of them even gave me better directions to Groton so I wouldnt have to drive in the the horrid traffic of NYC. I am really appreciative of all they did. I thought of everything but how the twins would react to all these strangers in the house taking their things. After much crying they finally came to grips that we are getting a new house with daddy and their things are being taken there by the big truck. After the movers left I did some cleaning up and everything looked so empty and I had a sigh of relief. Then I started preparing everything for the garage sale we had today. That went pretty well but I am so glad that it's over! My body aches from moving things. My eyes are heavy from having hardly any sleep and being so busy this past week. I cannot believe in just a few more days I will be with Tim again! I'm excited about our little road trip and am so excited to get there but right now I just want sleep and a lot of it. Tomorrow I have one more load of laundry and have to finish packing the car. Then we are going to celebrate the girls bday with my family so i have to make cupcakes and get all that set up as well. But mostly tomorrow I am taking it easy and just going to enjoy my family for one more day.

passing it on....

Well today has been the most tiring day i have had in a really long time. Timothy called me at 10 to let me know that the moving company was bringing someone out to survey our stuff we are moving. "oh she will be there at 1 maybe a little early" well she was here at freaking 11:30!!! so i had to take her to each room and just point stuff out. sooo hopefully they bring the right amount of boxes and stuff because as of earlier today stuff was EVERYWHERE. Thank the good Lord for my mother in law. she has helped me so much these last few days. she came over and helped me do a lot and we moved my mom's couch out and put our love seat in it's place. My arms feel like jello. My body hurts so bad. But i decided to give my mom our love seat because a) she needed it badly! b)we are getting a new sectional when we get to ct and c) i really wanted to bless her because someone gave it to us so i wanted to pass it on. She was really happy when she got home. It made the whole room look so much better! Then i decided since i had read that someone had paid for the the person behind them in the drive thru line that i would pass that on as well so today at taco bell that is what i did although the worker seemed completely confused at to what i was doing. I'm not blogging about these things to get kudos or anything but just to maybe place it on someone else's heart to do the same types of things. I just feel so incredibly blessed for everything in my life and i really just want to bless others the way i have been. well i have a busy three days ahead of me. I can't wait to actually be driving and on my way.

All in God's Timing....

Well today was pretty great! Things seem to be all falling into place. I am so blessed beyond belief! Started off the day by going to pick up our new mattress. There is a furniture store here that cannot be beat with price so I knew I had to get it before the movers came on Friday. That was successful although nerve wrecking with the box spring tied to the top of a luggage rack. lol But we made it! Next I got a call from Timothy. I knew he had just found out what our house was going to be. We thought he was going to get to choose from a few but when he got there they already had one picked out for him. Well God is good because it was in the exact neighborhood and layout that we wanted!!! Not only that right across the street is the pool and a playground: 2 of my babies favorite things! I was shaking I was so excited. I know they will love it once we are there. Today I realized though how much I'm going to miss my mom. She has always been there for me and has had to be both parents and now we will be farther than ever away. Hopefully though they can come visit some day. Today she came home from work with the twins bday presents: a new hello kitty bike. She knew I had wanted it for them. I just wish she could be there to watch them receive them on their birthday. But we are having a little birthday party on Sunday for them so my family can celebrate with them. I also found out today that I need to be in Connecticut by the 14th to sign the lease. Sooooo I'm leaving a day earlier. I'm really nervous, anxious, and excited about this trip. I know God will have his angels hovering that car because there is no doubt that all this has happened this quickly for a reason. There is no timing like God's timing which is perfect timing. I am so thankful for everything in my life. I have an amazing family, husband, and beautiful baby girls. I know life can't be perfect since nothing in this world is but my life is pretty darn close. I can't wait to hug and kiss my husband and can't wait to see the girls play with him again. I was never much of a crier until I became a military wife. Well from the mind of a Navy wife....

Happy Easter!!!

Well today was my most favorite holiday! I love everything it stands for and everything involved with it~the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus!!! We have had way too much chocolate today that is for sure! Started off by waking up early and getting the girls ready for church but first they saw what the Easter Bunny brought them: a new baby, mrs potato head dressed as a bunny and few other things. They looked absolutely precious. I know I'm biased but I have the cutest kids in the world! They sat with us during church and did so well in the big service. they were quiet and and at the end during the singing they were holding each others hands and dancing back and forth. Sadie really has rhythm. We got home and had an awesome lunch my mom and I made~ honey glazed ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, corn, and crescent roles! It was all so good! I then cleaned the disaster in the girls room that they were good to help me with :) Then we went outside and the did their egg hunt. They have that down. The rest of the night we were outside. It turned out a beautiful day after being cloudy and rainy this morning. I think God did it on purpose :) The cloudy rainy weather made me think of his death and then the sunshine came and made me think of him rising again! I went on a bike ride tonight with my sister. It was relaxing but then the twins wanted to ride too so I had to come in. Maybe they need a bike soon. Now I'm completely pooped. The girls are already in bed asleep and I am hitting the sack soon. Have to get up and swim in the a.m. I REALLY need to do some packing tomorrow. We should find out tom. when they come pack up our stuff. 8 days is all i have until we start our long journey. I'm excited and nervous but mostly excited and cannot wait to see Tim! Well I hope everyone had a great Easter!

What a day!

Well my day was quite interesting. It started out me taking the twins to Jungle Java for breakfast with bunny. I'll never do that again. LOL The twins had a blast but there were too many people there and i dont understand that since you had to rsvp and pre-pay and once we got there the "free" pancakes were gone. Why make you rsvp if you arent going to have enough product? but anyway they gave them something else and they were happy. I love watching my babies have fun and smile and laugh. Today seemed to be full of smiles and laughs from them. Sydney was once again scared of the bunny and Sadie was even scared of this one (it looked kinda creepy so i dont blame them) so when we got home i took the HUGE stuffed bunny that my mom gave me in high school and sat Sydney on it. She smiled so big and said "i did it! i sit on the Easter bunny!" It was adorable. They have now been playing with it and going and sitting there babies on the bunny. LOL. Later I went to my daily Sonic run during happy hour and I get the long awaited call from Timothy. I didn't ask the question i had been waiting all day to ask but let him tell me how well he did in sub school. He graduates next Friday 12th in his class and is graduating "distinguished" and only 15 out of over 1oo are! As you can tell I am one proud wifey! Anyway finally he proceeds to tell me oh yeah I went to the housing office today and you have to be here by the 15th! April 15th! Well we can all do the math. So now i have 10 days to get everything together. I'm super excited! He goes and picks a house on Tuesday. Fortunately most of our stuff was never unpacked so I'm not too worried as of now. I cannot wait to be a family again! It will take us 3-4 days to get there. I decided I'm going to leave on the 13th and take our time. I will miss my family but I will be happy to be with my husband again. :)

aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

I decided to start this today because for one since my husband left for the Navy in November I have had so many frustrations and feel like my life is a roller coaster so i figure this is a good way to let off some steam or just talk about the awesome things that happen in my life too since i have been blessed in so many ways. Also I use to post some blogs on myspace but I dont really like myspace anymore and no one ever gets on there anymore either so...Today was not one of those "awesome" days but frustrating. I even took a "serenity" pill (some all natural pill that is suppose to relieve frustration and stress) however it did not work for me because I got angry today. Tomorrow I suppose I will take the full dose. lol. Anyway the anger today was 1st from my kids who in Target were just crying crying crying all because i did not let them walk. Anyone with toddlers knows that it's not fun to let him or her walk by themselves in any store. I dont know why today they felt the need to do so. I just dont like it when they cry in a store because I get really tired of old ladies looking at me like "oh she is a young mom and probably doesnt know what she is doing" . I know that is judgmental of me but looks can judge too. Anyway once we got to the car they fell asleep and took an early nap so i guess they were tired. My REAL anger today came from when my husband for one calls me and decides to "april fools" me. Not cool Timothy!!!! However he did get his orders on paper for his A-school and was suppose to go to the housing office today to figure out our moving date etc. BUT the one freaking day he needs to get out of school on time they kept them until 4;45 and the office closes at 5. So I waited around all day nervous to find out nothing. The reason for my nervousness is because one of Tim's classmates who has the same rate as him told him that he had to have his wife move there by April 15th or they would not pay for the move. APRIL 15th!!!!!!! It is April 1st and I am suppose to go visit him on the 9-12th so that is not going to work out if our move in date has to be by then. So being the worry wart and stressful woman that I am is FREAKING out and is just ready for info. I'll be glad when I get the hang of this military life. Dont know that I ever will since I am impatient worrisome and stressed 95% of the time. All I know is that I am ready to be a family again. My babies miss their daddy and I miss my husband and best friend. All I can do is pray that God fills the void in their and my life right now and in the future. One thing that did make my day later today is when Sadie and Sydney walked up to me and told me they got me a present. It was one of their toys they put in a little plastic snack box and then Sydney says "I made you a cake honey" haha No matter how frustrated I get they can always make me smile. Thank God for them!!!! Those two are definitely the lights of my life and idk were I would be without my two baby girls! :) The Bible verse in my head that I need to keep reminding me on days like this is Matt 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own"
