Home...
Home is here...we have lived in our current home for 4 years now.Before that we lived in Las Vegas. That wasn't really home to us. It was where we lived, but it wasn't where we wanted to raise kids. Now, here in this home, is where we will raise our kids. Here in this home, is where we will spend many holidays, birthdays, anniversary's, tears, laughs, and family get together's. I can't believe that almost a year ago we wanted to sale this home:( I am glad it didn't sell because we already have too many memories in this home that I can never replace.

However, this home needs some work:( Right now it needs to be cleaned, the toys need to be picked up, the laundry needs to be done, the dishwasher needs to be ran, Lily's playroom needs t be cleaned....but ALL that is okay, because that is what makes my HOME!!!

STOP!!!!

Now go link up and join in on the fun!!!

Today's 5 minute is.....WAKING UP!!! Ready Set Go... When I think of waking up, I think of my alarm clock going off at 5:30. I commute a hour to work so I am up before the crack of dawn. I have to hit my alarm clock at least 3 times before I get out of bed. So, I actually get up around 5:50 or so. I HATE HATE waking up. I could seriously sleep forever. I usually wake up next to my sweet 3-year old. Yes...I am that mom that has her 3-year old still IN bed with her. It has been rough. We have tired many different methods to get her to sleep in her own bed...we have not been successful yet!!! When I get up I kiss my daughter and my husband Good Morning and then its off to get ready:) Right now when I think of Waking up...I am thinking about being able to sleep in tomorrow and not waking up till...let's see 9:00am...maybe...

Stop!!!

Now Go Link up!!!

5 Minute Friday

I know I am a day late but, I really like this 5 Minute Friday...so here goes....
I Feel the most LOVED....when I am at home with Lily and Kane. Kane was laid off in November, so he has been a stay at home dad for almost 5 months. He is a great stay-at-home dad, I tell him every day maybe he is doing what he is supposed to do!!! He doesn't buy it. Well, I have enjoyed every minute him being home. I come home to a clean house, dinner cooked, daughter taken care of and dishes done. He has really done so much the last 5 months. I enjoy being able to come home and enjoy him and Lily without having to worry about dinner or cleaning.
Lily's birthday was this past Thursday. I can't believe she is 3...I have a 3 year old. But I have loved every minute of the last 3 years. I love seeing her grow into a bright little lady.
I feel the most loved when I am at home with Kane and Lily:)I feel the most loved when I am at church worshiping the Lord.I feel the most loved when I get to wake up everyday to the most precious gift from god...Lily!!I feel the most loved when after even 10 years, my husband tells me he loves me more than the day he married me!!!
Okay time....I got off alittle from the actual topic...but its true since my husband has been laid off, our relationship has changed so much. We both have learned to really appreciate each other and ALL the things we both do!!!
So, I hope you have enjoyed my Late 5 Minute Friday...well Saturday:)

I leave you with a picture of my birthday girl!!

Five Minute Friday Prompt: Five Years Ago

This is my first time linking up for Five Minute Friday with The Gypsy Mama

Here are the rules:

1. Write your heart out for five minutes and then show us what you’ve got.
2. Tell your readers you’re linking up here and invite them to play along.
3. And most importantly, go visit, read, and encourage the fellow five-minuter who linked up right before you.

This weeks prompt is to spend five minutes writing about where you were or what you were doing 5 years ago.


Here's a brief summary of my life 5 years ago.

5 years ago was Feb. of 2006. I was living in Las Vegas, while Kane was living here in Houston. I was living in Vegas to finish up my Degree in Elementary Education at UNLV. I was doing my pre-student teaching classes. I was teaching 5th grade twice a week for the whole semester. My life was not very interesting at the time. All I did was go to school, go to work either subbing or working at Linens and Things, volunteering at Opportunity Village (special needs center) or hanging out at my apartment by myself. I tried to stay busy as much as possible because I missed my husband. I spent alot of time with some good friends, Sheena, Laura or Adri on the weekends to pass the time. I have to say from Nov 05 to Aug 06 had to be one of the hardest years of my life. Living away from husband for close to a year was hard. It was different when he was in the military because I knew I could not see him when he got deployed, but it was 10 times harder knowing he was only three states away. Let's just say we spent alot of money on plane tickets.

Time...hopefully it makes sense!!!

Enjoy...now go link up with The Gypsy Mama:)
