Hola mi amigos, lol. Hows it going? I hope all of you had a great weekend, i cant believe another week has went by since my last entry wow it went wayy too fast. Geez what else is new, lol. Hope all is well with u all :) I havent heard a peep from many of u all its been quiet in jland for quite sometime now. I miss many of the js i used to read and the ppl who blogged in them, it sad but well understandable too. Life can get so busy, things happen and then the journals kind of take a back seat. Im hoping many or all of u all are still reading, but i would love to hear from u all too :) Moving on.. we had another hectic, great week, also a busy and fun weekend ;) As u will see on the top of the entry here, i posted more pics, lol of us on our family day on Saturday. I love that Jason is off on Saturdays, its so great for him to at least have one weekend day off, we are so grateful for that. We decided to take Danielle somewhere fun where she can play or look at cool things, hands on some type of kid fun, lol. We wanted to take her to the FL Aquarium, its this really awesome indoor and outdoor aquarium in Tampa which is about 30 min from us or less. It has Coral Reef exhibits, diver shows, Eco Tours, a hospital for manatees, fishes galore, otters and more. However, we got to a late start so, we had to nip that idea :( Since we already made plans to bring Danielle by to my moms after whatever we did that day. We wanted to spend the afternoon with my mom, brother and his kids. Especially so Danielle can play with them, she loves any time she has with her cousins, they love playing with her too, its great :) Instead of the Aquarium, we took Danielle to Great Explorations kids Museum, as u see in the pics. Its a cute hands on museum for kids. It was so fun. I think Jay and i got more into it then Danielle, lol. I think her fav part was the car track as u will see in the pics, the buliding blocks, which well as u see too Jason had more fun at it, lol. Such a kid, i tell ya, hee, jk jk, Jay :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was also snakes to look at, fishes, you can even make pretend pizza, that was soo cute. They had a fake pizza that u can make at the station, add toppings, put it in this fake oven, wearing ur mitts and all. Then put it in the box to close up. Then there a cash register too to ring up the orders, it was too cute. Danielle put the apron on, made her pretend pizza, i ran register, Jay and i helped Danielle make pizzas it was great :)  That's where all the pics are from that u see above. A wonderful fam friendly day. Then after as i mentioned, we went to my moms for the rest of the night and played with all the kid.  I hung with my mom chatted, my brother Damien took Jay and i around for a spin in his new car. That's another long story, lol. Itsnot new, new but newer, hehad to get a car since his other one died on him over a week ago. He ended up gettinga 1999 Mustang GT, royal blue color all nice features its gorgeous!!! My bro will be sure ot get some ladies in that, lol. It was a real fun day and weekend. Friday night was awesome as well after work, Jay, Danielle and i went to pick up my bro from work so that we could take him to get his new car. Then we got back to my moms and she ordered pizza for us all yumm. After we left (Jay, Danielle and I)  went by the beaches, to a really cool amusement center called Treasure Island fun center. Its a place where theres tons of video arcade games to play, pool tables, air hockey, skeeball, games like that. Danielle loved playing with all the games with us and winning tickets and prizes. That turned out to be a real treat for the night. Today, Danielle and i had more of a relaxed day spending time with the in laws while Jay worked during the day. Danielle and i colored, finger painted, *Ty Melissa C, we love all the stuff u got Danielle, shes always drawing now, lol* We all played around and sat outside by the docks and the lanai till Jay got home from work. Then mil made us all a nice meal, we chatted enjoyed our dinner and that was pretty much our day today. Things here are going well thought :) It looks like we may finally have some leads in the apt hunting. I have to make calls tomm and find out more about them and set up times to see them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its great now that we will have days more free, because Jays schedule changed. Yeah, norm for grocery and retail, lol. But this time its a great schedule. Jason is working in the dairy section of the store now, since they fired the girl who had done it for stealing. Geez ppl are so dumb, lol i never got why would ppl steal from a place of work its not worth it, lol. Anyway, so now Jasons shifts are norm 5 am till 2 pm or sometimes he may get out at 12 pm pr 3 pm, all the days he works. He will have Thursdays off from now on instead of Wed which is good too and still have Sat off. Its working out this is a good move for him because he needs to have months of the dairy section in, so he can get that Grocery Team Leader position. Hopefully before we know it with all the training hes getting lately he will get it, please pray for us for this. Its looking real good though. he should be due for his raise in the next week or two. So slowly things are getting better. Im really, really hoping. I know Jason likes the job for the most part especially now he has better hrs. But i know hed be happier if he made more money. Hes defiantly entitled too. Im really praying these ppl will give him a break and pay him more it would help us soo much. As for me, I plan to go to the beauty school im real interested in this week. i have to let the admissions lady know when i am coming to see her, then i can talk to her about financial aid options, take a tour of the school, etc. I really, really want to do this, i know i can. I can get a great career in 4 mos. tops not bad at all. Better then these retail jobs that make me work hard, not work with my scheduling and pay little. Although i do have a job interview Tues. Im going to give it a shot, we will see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Danielle is doing great :) We still cant get over how big she is getting, shes growing more and more everyday. Lately, shes really been into coloring, drawing pics. Although there just the scribbles but there the most beautiful scribbles, lol. She also loves to dance, sing, and she has the most amazing imgaination. Danielle makes up these stories and tells u them, acts them out for u, everything in detail from the top of her head. We think soo adorable :) However, besides all the cuteness, lol theres also the temper tantrums, oh yeah still has them. Not like kicking and screaming kind, but she still screams more at u. Oh yeah, she will point her finger at u and shake it and yell. She will also talk back or say No, everytime you ask her to do something. All wedo is wll put her butt in major time out and repeatedly tell her how and why its wrong about her behavior. But let me tell u, lol, it takes soo much patience sometimes and she drives us nuts, lol. Other then that's Danielle is the sweetest, wonderful gurl. I cant wait for us to get her ready for school. I know she will do great at it truly. Her bedtime is going better, her eating not too good still the same things she eats and all but well she at least eats them in meals a day. We are having a tough time getting her to brush her teeth regularly. We make her dont get me wrong but she fights with it majorly. That's whats going on with her. Hmm, i think that's about it really :) Oh how can i not mention hee, lol. This week on Thursday exactly, is Jason and is 4 yr wedding  anniversary!!!!! :) Can u believe it? I know we cant. Wow 4 yrs ago, we walked down the aisle, declared our love to one another and said our vows and i dos. We plan to have a nice day together. we are thinking of going to Busch Gardens this amusement park with lots of cool rides and fun shows, etc. Then after have a nice meal out. A meal on my mil and Jays stepdad. They gave us our anniversary gift earlier, it was a gift card to a real nice restaurant for Thursday. We are excited, Danielle will be watched by mil i believe, so it should be a wonderful day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im hoping to have a special entry the day before or after. I really want to. I still just cant over i have been married for 4 yrs. I admit, lol somedays it feels longer because Jay and i have known each other for yrs prior to when we dated. Sometimes it seems like yesterday when we got married ;) A beautiful memory we will keep in our hearts forever. I truly, deeply love that man more then i can ever, ever express. He truly makes me the person i am, makes me feel beautiful, special, and loved. I love how we are together, we complete one another truly and we are one. I love him so much. Well, i guess i will go for now all :) I hope to have that special entry and update soon with pics from our anniversary :) Take care and ty u all as always for reading, being such great friends :) Hope to hear from u all soon, miss many of u :) ttys
