What ever will be...

This Picture was taken approximately 2 years ago this week. Steven and I took a very unplanned and last minute trip to Disneyland for out 1st Valentines as a married couple! This was possibly the 1st pic of me as "Pregnant". As were pretty sure savanna was concieved the night before!
Sometimes I look at this picture and think wow that seems like yesterday...and others times i think it was a lifetime ago.
The past 2 years have brought us so much. So much good, and of course a little bad. But that is just how it goes. With out the bad you would not appriciate the good!
As we sat on this tram to Disneyland if you would have asked me where I would be in 2 years I probably would have said that we would have a baby, be working, and gone back to school. Its quite far from where we are,  Yes I had a baby, but Ive another on the way! I'm not working (out side the home at least), I haven't gone back to school as of yet, but I do have plans to take at LEAST 1 class this Fall! Its been a roller coaster ride these last 2 years, but i wouldn't trade 1 moment of it because that roller coaster has brought me RIGHT where I am today....And I'm RIGHT where I WANT to be!

I know its a little vulgar, but HILARIOUS and so true in our life right now! 


We just found out Monday that we are expecting baby #2. CRAZY. 


Timing is horrible, I'm out of work, fighting with unemployment, worried about paying bills, and now we are faced with the wonderfully scary situation of figuring out how to clothe and feed another child, how we will squeeze 3 children into our car since we cant afford a bigger car. and now im kicking myself for not keeping all of the bigger things like swings and such.


But at the same time, its probably the BEST time, I'm out of work and focusing on our children, unemployment will eventually start and we wont be as strapped, we will live within our means and provide for our family, we wont be rich but I know that there are many people out there struggling with less, I'm blessed to have a wonderful, hardworking husband that supports me and our family, he works for an amazing company that is family run and has embraced us as part of theirs. We live in a beautiful house, we both drive new cars, our children are HEALTHY, we love each other, and we really have everything we NEED. There will always be food on our table and gas in our cars even if we shop at the good will and dont wear designer clothes our house will always be filled with love.

I will learn to be more FRUGAL with our hard earned money, I will learn how to stretch every dollar to its fullest, be less wasteful, and learn to feed my husband leftovers! This will not be easy but it will have great rewards! I will have lots of time to spend with savanna and brynn before or little bundle of joy arrives, and Hopefully in the next seven months we will have a plan as to what comes next. 


At first we were both very overwhelmed, But every baby is a blessing, So we will embrace this baby and this pregnancy with as much love and joy as the the last. And yes we are very much hoping for a boy, but as long as its healthy that is all that really matters!



We Find out next wednesday just how far along we are, since we were definitly not trying I wasnt keeping track and cant honestly remember when my last period was. Im hoping im about 8 weeks, that way they will be able to see a heartbeat and give me great estamation of a due date at my appointment!

 
Well now that im a stay at home mom (still getting used to that) I figure its probably a good idea for multiple reasons to get some projects done around here! Nothing to big, Im not bulding and arc or anything!

So here is my first project- The Dreaded Pantry!! It always seems that hisbands and kids tear threw here looking for a snack, or the husband puts the groceries away, and well if there is a space then thats where it MUST go Right? lol!!
here are the before-

BUT im not the only one....ahhhemmm...hello...is anyone out there?

I have LOTS of bloggin to catch up on...we have been doing tons of stuff and having a lot going on since school started! But I promise to catch you all up!

my main reason for this blog has to do with BRYNN!

She is my challenging person to buy for this year- So this is year i have decided that our main present to brynn is HOPEFULLY going to be a little bedroom makeover.

She has pretty much has the same stuff in her room since she was a 2- its time for a big girl room! Plus she Loves her own space, and shares a room at her moms with her little sister there, so id like to make her room as special as possible for now- one day she may have to share it here as well!

Im planning to re-do some fruniture that we already have but Im looking for a day bed, so if anyone knows of anyoe that is getting rid of one I would love to have it. the color doesnt matter!

im also looking for

*closet organization stuff
* bright colored fabrics
* a small night stand
* cute small dest chair
*two tall bookcases
*cute floor rug
so please keep your eyes peeled for me if you happen to be about any super clearance or garage sales or thrift shops! Id love to get all this stuff second hand if possible to minimize cost and waste!! I love repurposing old stuff and although i love ikea, id like to keep that list small!
