Where have You been?

Today when coming out of the gym we heard a goose honking, this is not uncommon as there are usually a few geese around, we usually try to avoid them and they stay away from us, but this one was really close and so we looked to see what it was honking at. It was another goose up on the roof, and as we looked closer we saw a little yellow gosling walk up next to the goose and then another and another. We stood there and watched them for a minute trying to figure out how all those babies got up there. I'm no bird expert, but I don't think they learn to fly until they are a little bit older.. I think that the mama goose built her nest and laid her eggs up there, and now they will have to wait until they are a little bigger to learn how to fly to get down.. I may be really wrong, so if you are a bird expert and you do know then you can let me know. 

Some fun things that have been going on since I last blogged.
Mr. Vargas has started a new job. He is now using his degree that he is about to finish this semester. He is the systems administrator for ITT tech. He loves it. We are still getting used to his new hours, I think they will be much better suited for summer which is just around the corner and that makes me very happy!

I also started a new job. I am now working two days a week up at my little guys' school. I really enjoy it but I do miss my me time, now I only have one morning a week to  get done all the stuff I used to have three mornings to do.

My math class is winding down and I should be finished with it this week.

This morning I ran again for the first time since my surgery, I can not tell you how great it felt.

Another new development. Hosea is potty training. He is doing so great, he stays dry most days, Micah on the other hand only thinks he is potty training, but he really isn't ready, sometimes he will say he needs to go only to sit there, seriously two seconds and then say he is finished, I'm not rushing him.

It has also been raining a lot here lately, so if any of you do see the sun please wave at it for me and tell it to come back because I miss it. Thanks

some rain and hail from the other day.. my back yard is now a swamp

Dear Mr. V.

It's moments like this that make me fall in love with you over and over.

Day 96

Happy April!

What a beautiful way to start the month, right?

Today was a great day, and really there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.

I was able to get two homework assignments finished this morning.

Ate lunch with my Mama.

Cleaned my house! That is a big one since I really haven't been able to do much of that since the surgery. I am now FINALLY starting to feel more like myself again.  I wasn't able to get it all done, but I did get a good start, and that makes me happy.

Sometimes it is just the little things in life that can make a day go good.

Maybe an unexpected text from a friend, a freshly cleaned floor (YES!), or dinner turning out even better than you planned.

What makes you happy or makes your day?

Day 91

{embracing} Birthdays

 Today I'm {embracing}birthdays Yesterday was my birthday 4 years ago today my brother made this day extra special by marrying a beautiful girl who just happened to have my exact same birthday!  

We were born around the same time, but she was born in Florida and with the time zones, that makes her about an hour older then I am.

It is very cool to have someone to share your birthday with.

Make sure you head over to Emily's blog and see what the {embrace} is all about

What She Wore Wednesday

Well today I think that her dad dressed her

 

in her RUN DMC shirt from Old Navy and she probably added the kitty ear headband.

you may notice I have two new buttons there on the right side of my blog, but as cute as they may be, they don't work yet, so I'll have to fix that.

Birthday presents!

Day 89

Two Things Tuesday

My two things today are opposites.

1. Something that has been making me want to cry. Math. I'm taking a short (8 week) Algebra class, in case you didn't know short means same amount of work squeezed into less time.. so it feels like more time spent on it, for me anyway. I've been a bit behind in this class too, so I keep feeling like I need to catch up. It has been all that I've been doing today.

2. Something that I can't stop smiling about. My pictures sneak peak is in over at my friend Bethany's blog. I love them all. She did such a good job on them. I know I have my favorites. I want you to tell me which one is your favorite.

Day 88

Not my usual Monday

As you know my Mondays are usually rather boring, full of mundane tasks like laundry.

But this Monday was different. This Monday began my birthday week, and what better way to do that then with some kid free shopping (ok it was only grocery shopping..but if you are a mom.. you get it)

Some starbucks, I'm not a coffee drinker so you know this was a treat.

And an early birthday present from my sister, who is just at the beginning stages of her new journey called Motherhood.
She sent me this, I love it, and have to find somewhere to hang it now.
