| haven't gotten on here in a bit. and it seems that anytime i have been on here i have just written a bunch of mess. i thank all of you for putting up with my venting and bablle of silly things i shouldn't get so stuck up on!
so, now,...
-i am starting a new work path to be involved with a company that i'm glad to be working for (My previous work place was a good organization to be working for, but just wasn't right for ME.)
-i am feeling better about myself, which for a few months there i was getting really down
-i am being more of a mother and less of a boss to my children; and i am enjoying married life instead of begging to regret it and want to 'start over'
-i am becoming a better sister, and a happy daughter
-i am learning, and learning, and learning more and more and more about myself and others and God everyday
and i'm very glad to be writing to all of you, and very glad to be ME!,... and if i can get my camera fixed i can try to get pictures of the kiddos up on here. they're FUN! | | |
| just went through my old posts and -deleted- a few of them. felt good!!!! sometimes i wish i thought a little bit better about the effects of words. i am quick to respond and a lot of times i say/write a lot of stupid things that don't even need to be said/written. i am getting better at not reacting soooo quick to things, but i still have a lot more work to do on this issue. i'm excited about what lent will bring for me this year. i always enjoy the new understanding of my lord and savior that i come to during lent. AND i miss Trinity!! | | |
| well, technically Jacob is over 13mo. old now since he's a January 15th baby. But here are a couple pics from his actual birthDATE:
and here's one of my favorite pic.s from mr. 1yr. old's birthday party:
it was a quick year, with a lot packed into it!! overall i'd have to say it was a good one though. caleb is a wonderful big brother and him and jacob are pretty much inseparable. either one of them will fuss quite a bit if it's just the one of them home for the day, or whatever. they have a lot of fun together; not to mention can cause a lot of trouble too. yet even with the hard days, i have to say: i absolutely LOVE being a parent of 2 that are 18mo. apart from one another and i wouldn't have it any other way. so i'm glad that adam & i decided after we had been married 1yr. to just let kids happen and we didn't put extra planning into figuring out when would be best for us to have our first, second,... --i don't think i would have PLANNED to have 2 kids so close in age if we had PLANNED everything out, and man i would have been missing out on soooooo much if everything had been up to me.-- | | |

so i would love to post up some pics of the kiddos, but i just don't have the energy to do so. hopefully one of these saturdays i can put on some of the latest ones at least. i kept meaning to get all the pictures we have on the computer organized and then make up some albums on facebook and all that,... but that didn't happen and our computer is packed away. we have been fortunate enough to have gotten a lab top to use from some friends, and there's still a bit of uncertainty how long we are borrowing it for. anyway, that's enough about posting about what i'm not going to be posting. SOON, i will try my best to get some pictures on here to share.
life in general is alright. we're living at my parents in westmont and i think we all get along pretty good. most of our stuff is packed away in a moving truck ready for when we find a place to move into that is in rogers park, or close by. we had planned to be moved to rogers park in september, and that didn't happen. i'm not much up for searching for a place though, i'm leaving that work for adam to do! two significant days that i had started to plan out for just didn't work out how i wanted them to. my birthday i was getting very excited to have a nice celebration at home and share about my new job i had just started and all that stuff, but intstead it ended up being a day to go visit adam, and a day i would start regretting the decision i had made to take a job in rogers park when there was no certainty of when we would be moving there. on our anniversary i was hoping to go out with adam to a cute little restaurant in galesburg and have some crepes together while sharing some good conversation with jason and his lady; or at least find some time over the weekend for adam and i to get out and have some time in galesburg our whatever by ourselves; but instead we sat around in little york begining to wonder how long it would take for the vans shocks to get fixed and trying our best to not get contaminated with the same 'whatever' everyone else in the house got. so i'm not up for beginning to plan out where adam and i can move into with the boys when it's working out allright for us to have a decent amount of space at my folks for the time being. all i know for sure is that i am getting very tired of commuting!!! i did not start working in rogers park so i would have to drive so far and keep a crazy morning schedule, BUT i want to continue working for christopher house so i try my best to put up with it and try to convince myself that it's no big deal and that my decision to start working in rogers park was a great decision and everything will work out soon. and seriously i did a lot more driving before i got married and all and i never had a problem with it. everything WILL work out soon,.... right???????

| my comute isn't sooo bad except for the drive on LSD. the dan ryan is fairly clear the times i'm on it, and 57 is a breeze to get over to 80 back home. LSD is allways crowded and can get really crazy on the turns. i get jerked about with all the bumps since our van doesn't have the best suspension around; and i am always worried about when jacob will wake up from us hitting a bump in the road a little too hard and then have him start screaming. i can't wait for us to move into rogers park. hopefully soon enough!! just gotta wait for adam to get up and about and find himself a job that will help us pay the cost of living in the city. atleast for now i'm able to have to pay attention to the road so closely during my comute m-f that i don't have the time to think and worry about everything that is going on right now. my job is going well, and caleb & jacob have a great time during the day with the sitter they go to. caleb is such a great big brother!! last night we stayed in the city and 'uncle' jason (http://www.xanga.com/bobbythebody) came to hang out and get to see milenium park. when i let caleb go play in the water with the 'faces', he insisted on me getting jacob out of the stroller so he could play in the water too. they had a good time. it was very nice to hang out with a friend in the city. i'm thinking a chicago picnic needs to happen,... say monday??? i'm planning to picnic out with the boys(weather permiting, of course). we will be sitting out over by pratt, since 7-11 is a little too convinient for me to stop in at after picking the kiddos up just after 5. :) | | |
