I am copying this from Kodi who got it from FromMrstoMama.  

1.  How long have you and your significant other been together?

Jimmy and I started dating in November of 2002.  So we've been together for almost 9 1/2 years.  Wow. 

One of my senior pictures 2004

2.  How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?"}

Jimmy and I went to high school together.  When I was a junior, he was a sophomore, who happened to be dating one of my friends.  No big deal.  Wasn't into him anyways.  Well when they broke up we started talking because one of my other friends had a crush on his best friend and was always talking about him.  She had come over my my house, gotten on my computer and searched for Jimmy's screen name so that she could see if his best friend was at his house.  Well one day I decided, huh I guess I'll try and chat with Jimmy since he's the only person online right now.  We had never talked before.  I'm not even sure a "hi" was ever exchanged.  So we would talk every now and then online, and I kept giving him my number telling him to call me so we could hang out.  Desperate sounding, I know.  So finally we hung out.  We watched t.v in his basement (exciting I know).  Then we started hanging out more and more.  Before you know it, we're dating.  YAY!

3.  If married, how long have you been married?  If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}

We got married on June 11, 2005.  So we've been married for a little over 6 1/2 years.  

4.  If you're married where did you get married at?  Big or small wedding?  If not, where would you like to get married?  ANd will it be big or small?

We got married at a church near by.  Nothing fancy.  Family and friends.  I would say it was a pretty small wedding...60-70 people I think.  We had a reception without alcohol.  Not because we're anti, it's just we were only little wee children.  18-19.  :-)

5.  Do you have any nick-names that you call one another?  Do share!

Ha!  Yes lots.  Some appropriate like, Kimbo, Mama, babe- others not so much like trick ass jabbawacci (sp?)  For him- Jimbo, Mim, Jam, J.

6.  Name 3 things you love most about your honey.

That he is an AWESOME dad.  Even at the bitty age of 18, he was amazing.  He provides for our family with pride, and does it oh so well.  He is a great husband.  None of that 75%-25% shit.  He is a whole 50%-50% guy.  That's right, waking up in the middle of the night, dishes.  He's a dream guy!

7.  Tell us how he proposed?  Or your ideal proposal?

He wrote me a note.  Fitting right?  Hey, I liked it, and now I can always show my kids instead of telling a story.

8.  Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day or a strawberries, champagne and rose petals kind of guy?  

Well, probably all of the above.  We always go out for a nice dinner, and I have gotten flowers several times.  But he does like the jewelry/purse presents, too.

9.  Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?

Well if there were a beach near, I'm sure we'd do that.  We do like a movie/couch night, too.  We really are up for anything.  

10.  Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day.  If you could do anything?  Go anywhere?

Well, I'm not really sure.  We aren't the best airplane people, but in an ideal situation I think we'd like to go to Europe or back to Hawaii (we went to Hawaii in high school together and it was ah-mazing).

11.  Tell us what you plan on doing this Valentine's Day.

We actually don't have any plans.  We are moving in the summer and we are saving up most of our money for house stuff.  I'm sure we'll eat dinner somewhere or something and we will spend time with our kiddos.  He actually has off on Valentine's Day this year, but Syd has dance class that night!

12.  Are you asking for anything this Valentine's Day?

Generally I don't really ask for anything.  If I were to ask for something, I'm sure it'd be make up or clothes or a purse or something....maybe a spa day to get a massage!

13.  Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.

Be honest.  Don't care about what other people say.  Just because someone is married at 18 or 55, doesn't mean they are doomed.  Focus on what's important, not on all the small stuff.  Have fun.  Being married doesn't mean you have to be a fart.  Show appreciation for your husband/wife.  It's nice hearing those things.

Junior Prom

14.  Show us a picture of what loves means to you. 

Liam is 1 Year Old!!!!

I can't believe it!  Time flew by faster than ever!!!

-Liam weighs 27lbs 4 oz, and is 32in long.

-He throws himself (sort of) when he is mad.  It's like his mini tantrum, only he's really bad at it.  He'll sit himself down, put his hands on the ground and slowly lower himself into a laying down position, and then once he's laying down, he just stares at me like, "I showed you!"

-He gets really excited and starts to run toward me, or whatever he is excited about.  It's hilarious because of how fast he gets going and his facial expression while he's doing it.

-We always ask him "can we see it?" with whatever is in his hands, and he (no matter how far away we are) always holds whatever it is out, and says "uh?"

-He loves giving hugs and kisses.  He is such a sweet boy.  So glad.  He's gonna be a heartbreaker for sure!

-He hates getting his diaper changed.  I have no idea why.  I think it's more about us laying him down to be still than it is the actual diaper change.

-He still loves bath time!!

-Sydni and I took Liam swimming for the first time (besides the baby pool at home) and he loved it!!  He held on to me for dear life, but laughed and smiled the whole time.  We don't any pictures of it because we were there by ourselves :-(

-He laughs all the time, even when something isn't funny or there isn't anything going on.  He will just start laughing like "ah-ha...ha-ha..." and he glances to see if we are watching, and we laugh back and then he really laughs because he thinks it's funny.

-He loves his daddy and runs to the door when he gets home.

-He had his first birthday!!

-He likes to sit and "read" his books.  He will sit there for 10 minutes just flipping back and forth between pages.

-When we go outside he always says, "wheooo."

-He got his first haircut (which he desperately needed) by one of my bffs who is a supreme hair stylist (gonna toot her horn *toot toot* who worked at a high end salon in Beverly Hills with celebrity clients)

-He likes to sit in his Bumbo, even though he doesn't fit.  He makes it work.

-He knows how to actually operated some of his toys now.  He has a popper toy that you have to press down the middle to get it to pop, which he now knows how to do, and he has a car that goes when you turn the ball on top, or when you make a noise so he can do that, too.  And he has a giant Pooh Bear (it was Syd's) and he pushes his tummy and he talks.  He always grins after, so I know he's proud of himself.

-He frequently makes these sounds g (guh), guy (no meaning obviously, but wouldn't that be awesome), dahdah, ma, p (puh), ya ya ya, r (ruh), v (vuh)

-He wears 2t-4yr Jammies.  He wears 2t jeans, 18-24month/2t pants, 3yr shirts, size 6 shoes, 5/6yr socks

-He wears a size 5 diaper (huggies), size 6 (luvs)

-He's very friendly (as long as one of us is holding him) and he always waves to everyone.  He also does a double waves that's super cute.  His wave is basically him flapping his hands up and down like they are wet or something.  It's so cute.

-He likes to touch our  mouths. I guess it's our teeth he likes?

-He has a lot of teeth now!  6!  Two more are getting ready to pop through.

-He refused his binkie randomly about 2-3 weeks ago.  I have no idea why, but I don't care.  THANK YOU!

-He loves to share his food, even if he doesn't actually put it in your mouth.  He is now into sharing his cup, too.  Thanks Liam!

-He still eats pretty much anything....even if it isn't food.

-naps around 11 and sometimes around 3:30

-He laughs hysterically when we say, "come oooooooooon" in a funny voice.

-He likes when we are running while carrying him (safely of course).

-He loves spending time in the kitchen.  Mostly because he feels obligated to empty out the snack drawer every visit, as well as take down all of the towels from the oven handle, help with dishes and take all of the spice bottles out of the bottom cabinet.

-Bedtime is between 7-8pm

-He still drinks bottles (4 a day).  Since we don't have to worry about breaking him of his binkie anymore, we can start on bottles soon!

-He points to things, and says "uh" while doing it just kind of making sure we know he's talking to us.

-He likes to change the channels with the remote.  He even tried buying "Bad Teacher" on ppv.  Luckily, I caught it and saved myself $5!

-He loves his sister to pieces.  My mom watched them one night, and Sydni left the room for a second, and he stood at the gate crying for her.

-He makes this weird yelling growling sounds, very throaty sounding.  He thinks it's funny.

-He likes to play chase with Syd, when we carry him and pretend like we're trying to get her.

-loves getting his teeth brushed (he tries to do it himself and enjoys that, too)

-He's always up for being silly.  Even if that means wearing his sisters boots (he insisted by handing them to me and saying, "uh uh!!"

Liam is 11 Months Old!

OMG!  Liam is almost 1!!!!

 -Keeping with the same pattern, Liam is still huge!  As of last week he weighed 26lbs4oz.  YOWZA!  Fyi, his daddy was 28lbs at 15 months, and he is a big guy now!  I can't even imagine what size Liam will be!

-He is sleeping through the night still.  

-He now has 5 teeth and is about the pop a 6th any day!!!  

-He's offically a walker!  He walks 75% of the time.  Soooo cute!  He get's so excited!

-He has just learned how to high-five.  He cracks up every time.  Sometimes he will just hold his hand out and wait for it.

-He's still a great eater.  He's eating all of the same things.  He tried a brownie for the first time last week, and let's just say I think he'll take after his daddy :-)

-Bedtime is now between 7:30-8pm.

  

-Naps are now around 10am, and another one around 3:30-4pm.

-He loves throwing Sydni's soccer ball and he's actually really good at it!!  He also likes to play on her iPad with her.

-He loves to "read" his books, play with remote controls, put magnets on the fridge, play ball.  He pretty much likes to do everything.

-He's a snuggler.  Well, at least I think so.  He's always hugging on me, and kissing me, and laying and lounging all over me.  Such a sweetie.

-He is wearing 2t/3t/4t/5t jammies, 2t jeans, 2t pants, 3t/4t shirts, size 6 shoes, 5/6 socks.

Random things

Wow.  So it's been a while since I've made a post that isn't related to Liam turning a certain month old.  So here we go.

-I want have to move.  Now.  Okay, not literally now, but very very soon.  Why?  Because I hate my house.  I want to live by people I don't know.  I hate my house.  I want to live by people I don't know.  Wait, did I already say that??  Oh yeah!  That's how bad I want to move!!


-I wish I could find a job.  For the love of Pete.  Seriously.  I'm really really bitter about it.  I feel like I wasted 4 years of my life working my ass off in college, while raising Sydni.  And what do I have to show for it?  Student loans!!!  I was so desperate the other day that I called a Daycare center and asked how much pay was for a certified teacher.  Wait- no more than $10 an hour.  ARE YOU JOKING?  I could've skipped school and made that much.  What a joke.


-I am having super anxiety about getting my Praxis (teacher certification test) scores back.  I had a dream that I was offered the same job twice (two different dreams, same job) because I passed my Early Childhood Special Education test.  I've already taken it twice.  I got a 560 and a 570.  You need a 620 to pass.  Pssh.  I also took the Elementary Education one for the first time.  I have no idea what I need to pass that.  Makes me sick thinking about it.


-My daughter has been a lunatic.  It's like she's already 17.  A-tti-tude.  Girl makes me crazy sometimes.  She will do stuff on purpose, for ex. I said, "go put your shoes away in your room."  She literally takes them to her room.  That's it.  She comes back and I ask her "did you put them away?"  Her reply "uh yeah...I took them to my room."  Me- "Did you put them in your shoe bin?" "um no, you didn't say I had to do that." OMG.  Or how about this- Syd- "Can I play on the computer?" Me- "No not right now." Syd- walks over and grabs her iPad.  Me- "What are you doing?" "Uh playing my iPad." *Eye roll* Me- "I just said you can't play the computer, which means you can't play your iPad either." Syd- "Well the computer is yours and that's why I asked.  The iPad is mine so I don't need to ask you." Me- "Um, excuse me??  What did you say?  I make the rules and I don't care if it's 'yours'." Syd- "I don't understand how you can tell me that I can't play it, and it's mine.  That doesn't make any sense." Then she walks off toward her room.  I say, "Where are you going?"  She says, "To my room to get my ds." OOOMMMMMG!!!!


-I love my daughter.


-Liam is such a little walker right now.  But he talks, nada.  Worries me sometimes.  Then again, he's only 10 1/2 months old.  It isn't that late.  Right?


-I've already bought Halloween candy.  Jimmy has already started eating it.


-Selfishly I thought it would be nice to upgrade my wedding ring again.  Yeah, again.  A little over a year from the last time.  I know.  I need to shut up.


-I want to know what the iPhone 5 is going to look like and what it's going to have on it.  Why?  Because I'm an Apple Nerd.


-I want another baby when I look at little girl clothes....that's until I come home and have Liam being a crazy yelling and crawling up my legs, and Sydni being a snot and a half to me.  


-I love my children.  


-I want to get rid of my dogs so bad.  Please someone take them and give them a good home.


-I miss playing the piano allllllllll the time.  I want to play all day.  Seriously.  I want to be a pianist x12.


-I love Adele.  Particularly Someone Like You.  Sydni and I sing it really loud in my car.  


-I love Sirius radio.  I got mine renewed.  Well, Jimmy did it for me.  


-I want to go on a shopping rampage.  Then I remember I want to move more.  Save save save.


Okay.  Rant and randomness over.  Enjoy.  Ha!

Just a mini rant.

Just because we are young to you, just because we look even younger, just because we don't have 30yrs+ at a job, just because you're another asshole who bases decisions and accusations based on assumption, just because you think you're smarter and better than us, well, it doesn't mean you are.  Dick.
