Baby someday...

Lately I've been thinking about lots of things. I will share with you what I've been pondering about lately by making a list of what I've been thinking:

1. Family vacations
2. Temples
3. Our Future
4. Schooling
5. More babies?


Since I haven't blogged in months I will just do a brief explanation of why I haven't written much.
It's been a busy year for us! It feels like with a blink of an eye we start one month and next thing I know it's ending. I can't believe how busy we stay and how days just seem to cruise. Right now I am loving playing with Timothy and Analicia almost everyday. We have a blast! It's challenging at times but I absolutely love being able to watch them grow and learn.
Out of all the things going on in our lives and our plans for this year we have something very important that's been on our minds. We have been thinking a lot about whether we want to really try to have another baby. I think I'm not 100% sure at this moment but I know that I want it to happen sooner than later. Honestly though, Im scared! I know that's a lame excuse but I just need to keep praying and fasting to ask Heavenly Father about what's the next step and if I need to pursue something right now. I just feel like this is an extremely hard topic because it's a beautiful but trying experience for me. I just hope that if we decide to continue to pursue it this year that it'll come true when it needs to. I often have to remind myself that I'm not alone and that Heavenly Father and Jesus are right them to hold my hand through anything (and of course my amazing husband).  Not only do I need to trust in Him more but I need to remember that it's not on our time but his. I pray that our family will be sensitive to the Spirit and that we may keep growing and maturing spiritually because it will help us with anything that comes our way. Have a great week my friends :)

Going back...

In case you haven't heard.
Chris and I have decided that we are going back to school!!!

Since we don't have any kids or things in the way we decided that we need to prepare ourselves to have a back up plan. Plus we believe we're both very smart and we're determined to fnish something we should've done a while ago.
I am feeling very good about this decision and I know it'll benefit us in the long run.

We'll get to exercise our brains and challenge ourselves. After all we are feeling kind of stuck where we're at its time we expand our horizons. I am going to keep going after my dream and I want Chris to go after his. We are capable of accomplishing good things, specially if we have the Lord on our side.

Have a great day after all its almost the weekend !!!! WOO HOOO..


I have so much to look forward to this weekend. We are planning on doing tons of chores around the house and then Saturday afternoon we are getting a couples massage!!! My very first professional one I can't wait it'll be such a good fun time.

Ill let you know how it goes.

FHE this past Monday

I gave the lesson :) And I thought I planned it very well and it led to an amazing discussion that my husband and I had and spent hours talking about.

My lesson was titled "I am a child of God", I think I needed to remind our family that although it is just Chris and I for NOW... We must always remember who our spiritual family is. We sang the hymn "I am a child of God" without any instruments. We don't have a piano nor are we musically talented but we felt the spirit. It was amazing. I love being able to have so much fun with my husband when its just us two and we're just relaxing at home. We are so blessed and happy to have each other.

Then, I went on to talk about how importan it is for us to know how we are very different but yet we have my similarities to our Heavenly Father. It's amazing how the small and simple things go a long way. We are trying to do better at all those primary things the church teaches and we have felt them change and impact our lives. I am so much more happy and I can deal with the little things that get in the way so much better.

After our two hour discussion, which was amazing!!! We then went on to the computer togo and work on our vacation we've been trying to plan. We've been struggling with planning our California trip and as much as we want to it didnt work out. Everything was pointing no and we could'nt agree on anything. So then we decided to look at different resorts in Arizona and guess what???? WE FOUND ONE we both loved. We are going to Talking Sticks in Scottsdale and I'm so excited. :) We're going to get to relax and just pretend we're rich in a nice resort. I can't wait to just be with my baby and no one else to bother us. It'll be our second honeymoon, besides camping and such.

I think that this was a very successfull FHE. We learned, we talked, we booked and paid the resort, and last but not least we grew closer together.

I COULDNT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER HUSBAND. THANK YOU BABY

In the fall..

I am trying to plan to take 3 to 5 classes, work a part time job, be a good wifey, do my photography business stuff, and get my associates either in the fall or spring. I am very happy and proud of myself. I know most people my age are done with their bachelors but because of one thing or another I haven't been able to.
If I could I would already plan on transfering to ASU but I think I will have to wait a year for that. Im going to do some good research and try to fin scholarships and such. Maybe I can find a good one that'll at least help me out.
:)
Wish me good luck because I will need it this semester. Hopefully I still have some me time. The good thing is that I will have all day Friday and Saturday free!!! So my hard days will only be monday & thursday. Thats not that bad but I havent done school in a semester or so. And to tell you the truth I've missed it. I love school, Im a nerd that way.


I am much more productive when I am active and always doing things. I know it'll be good for me. PLus I don't have any babies to keep me at home so I dont have anything from stopping me to be busy busy before babies come into the family.

I am excited and yesss I'm ready to kick it up in high gear. Fall Semester 2011- BRING IT!

Getting better at this..

It feels so good to accomplish good things and to make time for really important things. Chris and I have been doing so much better at reading scriptures. We've read almost every day for the past week. I can see how it brings us together and how it really protects us against the adversary. Throughout the year and half that we've been together we do read scriptures from time to time. I would say sometimes a few times a week and sometimes we just fall asleep before we know it. There's one thing that we score a TEN out of a TEN at and that is praying. We have been so good at that. We pray at least twice a day if not more. That has helped us out so much with everyday trials and decisions that we have to make. It makes a huge difference and I promise that if you do this with your partner you will feel the love stronger and it will help you overcome anything. It's amazing we dont have to have any money or be popular to communicate with the Lord it's amazing. He loves us all and I know that as you bring him into your family and marriage, or simply your life he will be there guiding you and holding your hand when things get tough.
I know that the more we try to be better at attending church, listening and taking it in unto your own understanding, praying, reading scriptures, committing to your callings, doing what is right, paying your TITHING, and serving others; we will be happier and find a greater meaning of why we are on earth.
I know that we can't stop life from happening and giving us a hard time from time to time but when you build a strong foundation you will be able to overcome anything. Keep Satan far away from you as you can, and invite Heavenly Father into your life. It's the best thing you can do. I am so thankful that I married Chris in the Temple and that we are sealed for time and all eternity. What a beautiful blessing. It feels so good to know that if we do what is right, the promises Heavenly Father makes will all come true. I miss going to the Temple just within these two weeks that it has been closed. Next week I am going to try to go at least once if not twice. I am so excited.
I've missed the Temple so much you have no idea. Temple dates with your husband or your family are the best.
