Life is too short

The last few days have been sad, no tragedy in my life but in friends lives. One of my good friends lost her mother after she was severely burned in a gas explosion. I feel awful being so far away and not being able to be there to support her, I know how hard losing a parent is and its never easy no matter how old you are. A friend I've come to know through a Stay at home mom board I'm on passed away yesterday, she was so young and had just given birth to her third son at the begining of April, and now her boys have lost a wonderful mother and so many people have lost a good friend, my heart breaks for her family. It does not seem fair that awful people with no purpose in life get to live and someone life her is taken away too soon. The one bright spot was Carter B turned 2! Audrey and I sent him a video singing Happy Birthday, wish we could've been there in person. Hug your loved ones, Life is too short and you never know if you'll have tomorrow with them.

Ready or Not: Here Comes Summer!

Two weeks from tomorrow Ethan and Kayley will be here! I've got to get the house in order, since I spent Justins last hitch at his grandmas with a broken ankle and I can finally move around pretty good, it has been such a hassel:( anyway, got lots of things planned for this summer like going to the Zoo Science Museum, Cowboy Musem ,Botanical Garden and Six Flags. Audrey got a little pool from my mom, so we'll get Ethan and Kayley a small pool too and they'll have lots of fun in the backyard. We haven't seen them in 10 months so we are so excited! Audrey will love having someone to play with. Thanks to Pinterest.com I've got lots of crafts and stuff for them to do as well! We're kicking off the start of summer with the kids birthday party the 27th (their birthday is the 18th but we won't get them til the 24th)we're having a BBQ with family to celebrate. So fingers crossed its a great summer for our family of 5:)

Oh what a move & Easter

So Justin and I got all moved in our new place, next time we move we are hiring movers though, Justin moved everything by himself except the crib and what wouldn't fit on the dolley, ugh! ANYWAY.. I love our new place, so much space! more cabinets than I know what to do with, lots of room, and a backyard with a tall privacy fence. I plan on getting a little pool for HEthan and Kayley to use this summer and a little baby pool for Audrey. We got brand new couches, and I love them they go great in our long living room with hard wood floors. We still need to get a dinning room table though. I'm liking our area of Fort Worth, thank goodness for GPS though, or I would never find anything lol. Audrey had a good Easter, it was the first holiday Justin has been home to celebrate with us since she was born so that was really nice. Next year I will have to get her a bigger basket, I used last years and it barely fit everything! here are some of Audreys Easter photos I did, and then some of Easter morning

Gas Out? No thanks.

If you are one of the idiots pushing the Gas Out on April 15th.... Learn some facts first 1. Not getting gas one day a year does nothing to hurt profit.
2. you are not hurting the oil company, you are hurting the bussiness man who owns the gas station who has no control over prices
3. if you don't like gas prices, don't own a car, walk to work or take the bus.
4. The "big bad oil man" is simply meeting supply and demand, if we didn't use so much we wouldn't be so short on supply, therefore prices wouldn't be so high.

5. and I don't know how many times I can explain that we use oil for SOOOOO much more than gasoline, and most "oil" companys also drill for natural gas, which heats your homes, lets you cook, ect. If you really want to "hurt the Oil Man" then stop using all these products. The sign you made to protest, you made it using products made out of oil, EX: crayons,Ink, Paint Brushes.. The roads you drive your gas hogging cars, or electric cars on.. made from oil.

Everyone wants to complain while they sit in their warm houses and drive their cars.. how about instead of complaining and bitching, and hating the oil man you say " hey thanks for working your ass off 12 hours a day to get that stuff out of the ground, and being away from your family for weeks sometimes months at a time, so that I can have all this stuff."
here is a SMALL list of products made using oil.

"And making the products listed below consumes more than 1 million barrels of oil per day, according to Energy Information Administration estimates."

15 yr old self

The past few days I've been reading my old web blog site I had when I first started highschool, in 2003. Xanga It's pretty entertaining to read the things I wrote, the stupid drama and all the day to day things I worried about at 15, like boys and class and my friends. I wrote about never getting married, and being an actress or writer or photographer who traveled the world taking photos for some cheap magazine. It's made realize how little a 15 yr old knows, believe me at the time I really did think I knew everything and I was so "mature and wise" for my age.. It makes me laugh to think of Audrey at 15, if she'll be like I was . I wrote in one post "i know what i wanna do with my life, act. take pictures and raise a family with prince charming on some coast shore in the north west like oregon" Well I did get Prince Charming and a family ! Although I must say, I did have good taste in music which has reminded me of some old bands I'd forgotten about. this is some lyrics I had posted and they really fit for my life as it is now. All through the night I'll be watching over you And all through the night I'll be standing over you And through bad dreams I'll be right there baby telling you everything's going to be alright When you cry I'll be there baby telling you were never nothing less than beautiful So don't you worry I'm your Angel standing by 9 years ago I never would have imagined my life as it is today, living in a big city, being a stay at home mom to a goofy little girl and married to a man who's only home half the time AND never ever would have I seen myself being a stepmother to two kids. Even this time 4 years ago, right before I met Justin I never would have guessed this was how my life would turn out. It's amazing how you change so much over time, from your teenage years to your 20s.
