I am so excited to finally have this little perfect baby boy in my arms. He was 1 week late and my doctor decided to induce me! alex and I went to the hospital Tuesday afternoon at 4:00p.m. to get things started!!! I wasn't having any contractions, so they put a balloon inside and blew it up to make my uterus contract. I ate dinner, which was so yummy. I had chicken parmeasean with pasta. Alex went and got pizza!! We watched the bachelorette to help time go by faster, I then got a sleeping pill, and slept until 5:30 the next morning. I then was so anxious, so I curled my hair and did my make-up, little did I know I would be in bed ALL day long! I went back to Labor and Delivery room and then the started the pitocin. I started to have light contractions and I didnt want any part of that, so I got the epidural, right away. I rested up the rest of the day, Ilene came to visit, so nice of her. Before I got the epidural, she and Alex could see my contractions on the monitor, so they helped me through them! Anyways I got to drink alot of water and had ice chips and flavored ice. Finally the doctor came in at 4:15 and checked me. I was fully dilated and ready to push! She said we would start pushing in 15 minutes. I quickly touched up my make up and curled my hair nice! then i pushedfor an hour and you were out. They placed you on me and then daddy got teary eyed!!! you were the most precious perfect baby I had ever seen. the nurses took you away for a bit to clean you and put some clothes on you!! Then you came back to me and we started breastfeeding!! You were so hungry, and got the hang of it right away! They took him to the nursery for the rest of the night because I was so tired and needed some time to recpver before they would let me go back to the postpardom rooms! We were in the hospital for 3 days, they took such great care of both baby and I. We got to spend alot of time together. I am so happy to have this baby. </span>

One of the first things that happened back in September was that we found out we were EXPECTING!!! I couldn't have been more thrilled when I took 6 pregnancy text and they read positive. I would get so excited to see a plus, or two lines and I would still question it, so I would take another test the next day, until I ran out of tests. I like to make special occasions a BIG DEAL, so my next thing I thought about was, how do I tell Alex??? I then thought of a cute idea, I went to the store and bought some baby things, then came home and had them arranged neatly on the bed, I bought a cute card to announce he was going to be a daddy!!! He had school that evening, so I sent him a text and told him he had a surprise waiting for him when he got home. Well as what seemed to be forever he finally got home and I was in our bedroom with the video camera and yelled back for him to come to the bedroom. As he walked in, I can't explain the look on his face, the video says it all! He was so happy and surprised, it turned out to be a great idea!!! Then a few weeks later came and it wasn't enjoyable. I was really sick, it seems as if all of the pregnancy symptoms hit me all at once and kept me down!! I am so glad that Alex was able to take care of himself and the house while I wasn't able to do anything without getting sick. Anyways, we had a doctor appointment and heard the heartbeat, it was the sweetest sound!!! Then later on we had an ultrasound and saw the baby, It was amazing. It was so active with kicking and moving hands and even tumbling!!!! I loved it! Now we are really looking forward to January 12, when we find out the gender of the baby!!!</span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">We had the fun Halloween and Thanksgiving festivities, and ten left for our cruise the day after Thanksgiving. It was so much fun!!! I ate more than I could've ever imagined. The restaurants and dining rooms were so nice!!! We went to shows every night, game shows were really fun as well, we had plenty of laughs. We were the family picked to be on Family Feud, and we won the game!!! Alex was picked out of the crowd to be on stage. ( He is not the guy that will wave his hands in the air to get picked to be on stage, but he was a good sport as they made him do silly things that embarrassed him, and he was remember by everyone the rest of the cruise.) We played the game "The Quest" the guy had asked for a man from the group to come and do his best "Worm dance move" well once again, Alex was called back up as he got voted as the best worm from the 80's. The host of the game was trying to kindly say, that was the WORST worm I have ever seen!!! They made him do it in front of everyone and he was soo embarrassed, again!!! We stopped at Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay, and Nassau. In Great Stirrup Cay we swam in the ocean, Alex played Volleyball, and we just relaxed on the beach. Then in Nassau we rented a scooter and toured the island, it was so neat to see how other people live! We loved going to our room each night to see what little animal our cleaning man made for us! I personally loved the nacho buffet, and made sure I got to it everyday as Alex swam, and I sat by the poolside to munch on my Nachos! Alex loved the unlimited Ice Cream cones that were available at any given time! We had the time of our lives!!! </span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Alex is doing wonderful, he just finished another semester at Marist. He is so smart and got straight A's, so that is something to brag about! He also has been busy with his side jobs that he does when he isn't in school. He is excited for Snow season to get here so he can use his snow plow. He can be quite funny at times and then quite a turd as well!!! He loves to rub my little belly and tell me how pretty I look with a bump. </span><br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'trebuchet ms', verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Christmas was really nice, we did the traditional Christmas Eve candle light service, then the luminaries, and home for chips and salsa. Then Christmas morning his family came over and we all opened gifts at our house, and then had a brunch. It was alot of fun and great memories!</span>Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-2985725827377903812011-08-08T20:22:00.000-07:002011-08-08T20:28:07.569-07:00Fun in the family<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjhHbFETyIYUM6wqsxhoFHTEKBTGwITmESpRHtjcD75USjAQslalJ4hBTWQqjoetdj4BmmMayZyfsbVz3AB82izkw_83fQH8XiCeAG6PV0gU5IxKR7UyxBZsV0gkHIlXwuevZaBKEv4RM/s1600/senia+lucy.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); ">Hello Everyone,</span>

Well to rewind back to April, work had been really slow for awhile for me and I was starting to go into my desperate stage and applying to jobs such as Taco Bell, and the jobs that most people don't want. After not hearing back from anyone, doing all that I could do, it got really frustrating, so I decided to fast and pray and let Heavenly Father help me out. It was a miracle, that Sunday evening I got a call from a friend asking if I was interested in a great babysitting position for his client. They had a nanny, but she was leaving on a paid vacation to England and Africa for 2 months so they needed a fill in nanny for the time. It didn't take me long after hearing all of the details, that this was the best job on earth and felt it was an answer to my prayers so I decided to take the job. This family had 8 kids total, 7 of the kids lived there, oldest was a boarding school. I was only in charge of the two youngest kids, ages 7 and 8, the others were older teenagers. These children were the most well behaved children I have ever met. I was known as Mrs. Angel, I never heard a disrespectful comment come out of their mouths. They had the whole world right there in the house, but never acted spoiled. I lived a life full of pure luxury for the time I was there. Everything from the where I stayed, the cars I drove, to what I ate was so great. It was so nice because the kids were still in school so I had the whole day off until 4:00. The family started a little pancake business that has now grown to be very large, and they are so yummy. They were out of town most weekends to their other mansion in Texas spending time with her side of the family, so Alex would come spend time with me and enjoy the luxuries that were much appreciated! I was very sad to leave this job, not only because of what I experienced while I was there, but It meant that I would then be back to reality!!! Well It wasn't so bad when I got back to my little apartment!!!</div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "> </div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; line-height: 20px; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">We celebrated Alex and Ilene's birthdays in June. We had a fun time at a sports restaurant that he picked for his birthday dinner. Then the following weekend the family here went to Ilenes house for her birthday. She usually has a long list of things for Alex to do when we go down. He got everything accomplished that weekend!!! Alex is very blessed to have many talents and to be able to bless others with his hard working skills. We had a big bbq for </span>Ilene's<span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> dinner, yummy food!!! We went to her ward on Sunday, then on Monday Alex took me to a fun amusement park that they always went to when he was a child, because they were having a great deal that we couldn't turn down. We had a great evening spending quality time together. Then a couple nights later, I found a stealing deal as I was shopping on evening at the super market. Alex loves to have ice cream, but it's usually to expensive, but It was on sale for $1.89, then on top of that they had a coupon on each ice cream for $2.00 off...so it comes out to be FREE!!! There was a limit of 4 per visit, so I quickly called Alex and told him to come get his four favorites. Who doesn't love FREE Friendly's ice cream!!! We always joke around saying that was our blessing for paying our tithing that weekend. We seem to always find great deals on things or even free if you go to the right place!!! While I am talking about great deals I found as I was looking to have some get away time to spend with family, I found airfare tickets for a ridiculously cheap price to go to Colorado. I had some money saved that I had been waiting use to use so I booked a trip to see family that I hadn't seen in many years, and that trip was fantastic. I had the experience to go to Estes Park, which was beautiful. We went to the favorite restuarants that I loved as a child, and the memories were just great!!!</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">The weather here has been very hot and HUMID. I spend every moment I have free in the pool that our apartment has right outside our door. It's so convenient and we take advantage of it. We had a little humbling experience the other day, when we realized that the hot water heater that runs our building was broken. I didn't do the dishes for 2 days because I blamed that we didn't have hot water. I took cold showers, then one night I walked into the kitchen to see our largest pots boiling with water. I asked Alex why he had pots on the stove, well they were for the warm baths, and the dishes that he was going to do. I am grateful for a husband that cleans and does dishes so well, without being asked. I didn't realize how much we sometimes take for granted such as a nice hot shower/bath or having constant hot water to do dishes, until we don't have something. I also completed the first novel in my life. I am not a reader, besides scriptures, but I borrowed a love story novel and spent several hours each day just indulging into my books. I didn't realize how sensitive my feelings are I realized I would cry through one chapter, then be laughing out loud through the next. I absolutely loved the series and the love story that is only real in a perfect world. It is usually the same when it comes to movies, I now just ask Alex for a box of tissues instead of popcorn!!! </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">Well a little spiritual experience that happened this week that I want to share are first I was struggling with some trials and had fasted and prayed to help me overcome or understand why I was struggling with my trial. Well I went to church and after church was over our Bishop came up to me and explained that he felt inspired to ask me to speak next Sunday in Sacrament meeting. I happily agreed and then proceeded to ask what topic he would like to speak on, he answered very quickly with a topic that I was not expecting to hear. Well that topic turned out to be just what i had been struggling with, and had prayed to receive help and guidance with. Alex then turned to me and said, it looks like Heavenly Father heard your prayer!!! Then on Friday, Ilene surprised us and came to town to spend the weekend with us and to listen to my talk. It was such a fun and great weekend!!! We got to spend alot of time together shopping, swimming, talking, and having girl time is always a plus for us!!! Not very many people I know are proud to say that they are as fond or love their mother in law so much, but I can proudly say she is one of my best friends. We love her sooo much and don't know what we would do without her.</span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">Alex has been staying busy with his mowing and moving business. He built a deck for a lady down the street and it turned out beautiful. School is going well, he is a very smart student and gets great grades. I am so proud of him for being able to juggle a busy work schedule, school, church callings, and still find time to do nice things for me, such as be my personal tennis coach!!! I had a desire to learn tennis, and so Alex being very well rounded in all sports taught me Tennis. I am still learning, but getting better!!! </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; line-height: 20px; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">The other day I experienced something I have never been through in my life. I woke up from a nap and noticed that I had lost vision in my left eye. I put my glasses on, and still couldn't see clearly. I started calling eye doctors and nobody had answers of what could be wrong, they all suggested that the E.R. was where I needed to go. I really didn't want to go to the E.R., I knew if would be a long wait, with a nice big bill to follow!!! After not being able to see out of the eye for about an hour, we headed up to the E.R. It was about 9:00 P.M. when we arrived and after doing a urine sample, and </span>cat-scan of the inside of my head, we were out of there at 4:00 A.M. The Doctor said the problem was out of his hands and referred me to an eye specialist. It was a good thing that nothing was found in the cat-scan, but it's frustrating not knowing what is wrong with this blurriness!!! It is getting better though, and I am starting to see a little more clearly, so it's hopefully only a matter of days before it's all better. <span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; line-height: 20px; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">It's now the </span>beginning<span class="ecxyiv1846532978Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> of August, and it's amazing to see how fast time has gone by, this Sunday Alex and I will share our first year anniversary. I thought about how much my life has changed in a years worth of time, the trials that I thought would be impossible to overcome, have made me so much stronger, the wonderful times and memories that I have made with Alex as a married couple, some of the hardest but most satisfying trials, we have learned to now think of as blessings to add to our life. It seems as if the months are only two weeks long and then before we know it we are at the next month. We sure are blessed for all that we have in our lives. Well I think that wraps it up for the past 3 months!!!

We went go cart racing for Brian's Birthday, I threw a huge fit to Alex because I wanted to go so bad, he didn't want to spend the money, it was expensive, and he thought we could just as much fun watching them race, but I finally talked him into going. The drive in an hour away and we get up to pay, and and register and they ask for my licence, well I left my purse at home, so I was bummed that I couldn't go, but I did have so much fun watching the other race!!! Then Alex got sick again. It first started with another high fever, then what turned into the worst earache ever given to man! I have never seen Alex express so much pain, he was miserable, I couldn't do anything to help ease the pain. It started at 1 a.m. and finally at 4a.m. I tried dressing him to go to the E.R. but he refused, because we don't have health insurance yet, it's too expensive. So after the long night I couldn't wait for 8a.m. to come, because we were going to his family doctor. After I saw all the blood that was coming out, I was not going to wait around. The doctor told him that he had a hole in his ear drum, and it had ruptured. Well that turned into more pain and then the ear got blocked and he was unable to hear out of the ear. I forgot to mention, he already has bad hearing as it is!!! He really couldn't hear at all. I spent about 3 weeks yelling at him just so he could hear me talk. The doctor said it would last a while, but he would eventually be healed. Well his ear is better now, but he also suffers from lymes disease, which is another painful thing. It usually happens when it is really cold, or really hot, and his joints just freeze up. That causes him to walk like he is handicap, literally!!! It's pretty funny/sad to watch though!</span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">I went up to P.A. and spent a couple of days with Allison and her kids. They are such funny kids!! Grandma, Lexie, and Brenna came to babysit Allisons kids while she and David went on a cruise. I loved spending time with Grandma Mullenaux, we went for a drive to look at the bison, at the game wildlife preserve. It was so much fun. Then we found this store called Ollies, grandma helped me get started on decorating my house, she's has amazing skills by the way! I couldn't have done it without you, and now I am all about trying to make my house look better. Everyone that sees the fun stuff loves it so much!!! I'm so glad I got to spend some time with everyone!!! Allison told me about another store that had inexpensive items, so on my way out of town I stopped by and stocked up on food, I totally hit the jack pot!!!</span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlOxdKpZywgjTCP6vKeOo2hH8e9UXSjZTen2fDNpuJZxBc6h-MY0Wsar6ChPbllmeKOiENPZAmlqXBO5myNHMpW9Pwhugvov7M8rcZw3AxI3epcVfYCGOILjU10b7Vd5X8XDXjqdsi0g/s320/DSCF3865.JPG" /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; ">Another fun event that I loved this month was my birthday. I don't think people make a big deal of them anymore, but for me it's another reason to get to go out to eat and have a party!!! I stretched it out as long as I could a whole 3 days of fun! Alex invited a very good friend of mine Linda to come for dinner. She is this cute little old lady who just loves to talk and hear stories. I love Alex's skills when it comes to cooking and presentation, he is just so talented. I am always so impressed with what he can do with food, and this time he really wow'd me!!! We had cheesecake that Ilene made, and presented so nicely, it was so delicious!!! It was a great birthday weekend!!! Alex's cousins John and Mindy came to visit, we had a huge yummy brunch, then a bbq later on. <span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px; ">I think Alex spent most of the day in the kitchen, but we sure enjoyed the good food. </span>There is a picture below that has hand cuffs on the fridge, well that is because one morning I really wanted and couldn't wait until breakfast time to drink the juice, so I found the fridge handcuffed so I couldn't get in. Silly husband!!</div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">Our Bishop has been encouraging the famillies in our ward to get started on gardening. Well I thought it was a great idea, but then realized I don't know a single thing about growing a garden. After a couple of trials, with trying to find a plot of land, I am planting some plants in pots, and hopefully they turn out. If any of you have ideas or any words or wisdom for gardening feel free to pass them on to me. I would really appreciate it actually!!!</span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "> </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">And no onto the finale of the stupid... this might shock some of you, because of my feelings towards any living creature. Well I was shopping at WalMart and was walking past the fish, I stopped to take a look and then decided, I want a little fish. After much thought, I bought a small tank and fish I am so happy to have this cute little fish. It's almost as if life can't get better. I walk out to go to my car. I see that my driver mirror is hanging off, the whole driver side is smashed in, scratched up like crazy. I instantly call Alex (who is out of town and can't come to my beckon call.) I am crying hysterically and just so upset, that i can barely explain what happened to the car that I have tried to take such good care of. I call 911 to report the accident that the stupid person hit and ran and didn't even leave a note. While on the phone they start asking me questions, then put me on hold. While I am waiting for the police to come, people are walking by, trying to help, as I just cried like a crazy lady, and thinking of all the horrible things that ran through my head, mostly that It would cost ALOT of money to fix this problem that I didn't even cause!!! So as i am pacing back and forth between cars, I see another car IDENTICAL to mine, but in this car I notice they have the Scriptures in the back. It then hits me, It's MY CAR!!!!! I had been so focused on my newest purchase, and didn't even realize I had passed my car. As you can guess It was probably the most embarrassing moment of my life having to explain, that I had mistaken my car for another. I contemplated on telling this story because of how STUPID it makes me look, but it will be a good story to tell later on. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME!!!</span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWu-4mWp_ELIcczc3dan6hsNyu7UOUO6JZybjg5DWSxO-0BfMGNe_B6Bbs5VV6090eyoVazUvcIQLmUS7_u8LqqT17obvBsQXFbbD29Dl1HOgYYhe_cvyX1rZxD4AAIKw-wb11hB5OlTE/s320/DSCF3870.JPG" /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZA9gv3FbWAAUiwvYKwd4nVctVzSyWEiGkE3Y2lVZSwFlnV5fn6go8m6SDDXw3A1CtoHzHO1zNNkrkRe-Xo2GOpHxUvyBNC0jLLaFi1SX1nSm6WW7hwvqrENeqM5RT6xiTWfh__YMJkYo/s320/DSCF3882.JPG" /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAduMpRlpbCyhVufysxaD6qxhlTGejHqowychJNhRGEOdqkfxPTlIAv3AJyQaKkHHQyideo8ZSitUoostj215Y9mcVoPo6ML_W7Whim9WLToC2biUSxUsohWLb3AQEwIB9z40D4dSbdU0/s320/DSCF3879.JPG" /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div></span></div></div></span></div></div>Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-92011006937826399812011-02-22T18:34:00.000-08:002011-02-22T18:36:11.937-08:00LIFE....<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">Hello Everyone!!!</span><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; "><br /></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; "> How is everyone doing? How have things been going in everyones lives? We are doing so great, just really busy. Alex has been doing really well in school and has been staying busy with the snow plowing. I have been babysitting alot, and have picked up many more families. I had an interview for a live out nanny position this last week, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience!!! I had talked to her a couple of times on the phone, and she asked to meet me in person. She warned me about a BIG indoor dog they had, but that he was harmless and just wanted to be loved. If anyone knows me, you know that I have the greatest fear of dogs, cats, birds, any animals that might be able to hurt me!!! Anyways, so I arrive to her house and meet her family, and i hear this dog in the back room. She told the little girl not to open the door because Senia didn't want to see the dog yet. Well when you tell a 2 year old NOT to do something, they will DO it!! So as we are talking, out runs a HUGE rotweiler/pitbull dog and almost knocks me down, while stepping on me, and starting to what they call give me kisses. At this point I am ready to leave, not only am I terrified of this dog, but the mom is letting this dog behave this way. As we continue our interview out comes a cat, living with my last nanny I quickly learned that I was allergic to cats. So the mom is trying to get me to hold the cat and just pet the cat, since it like to be around people, and once again just wants to be loved. She goes on to explain her personal family problems and how her family disowned her and blah, blah, blah, totally not appropriate for an interview!!! Then to finish off, she introduces me to the pet SNAKE...... she tells me it's okay don't be scared, he mostly stays in the cage, but you have to watch Addie (2) because she likes to play in his cage and it could get out. She was very specific that she only wanted to pay $8.00 per hour as well, It didn't take me long after that to wrap up the interview and leave!!! So to anyone that reads this, would you take the job??? Well even if you would, she couldn't pay me enough money to take it!!!! I felt bad, but It was probably my WORST experience with childcare yet, and I wanted to write about it to share with you!! </div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; "><br /></div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; "> Another big thing that happened not too long ago was this horrible NASTY flu hit Alex and I. I woke up one morning and noticed Alex wasn't next to me, where he usually is. I found him on the couch curled up and he told me he couldn't sleep and was freezing cold, but when I felt him, he was burning up. I knew he had a fever, but then his cell phone rings, and it's his brother in law asking if Alex could come pull him out because he got stuck. Alex wasn't feeling well at all, but him being the helpful person he is, went and helped him out. He came back home and I had to go to work so I left him strict instructions to just rest and not work anymore. It wasn't much later when he got another call from his brother asking if he could him move a treadmill. Once again, Alex goes out and helps his brother. He comes back home and is completely exhausted and left with very little energy. I get home later that evening to find Alex in bed and he does not look good at all...I take his temperture only to find that he is 104.8. I knew Alex was not feeling well at all, so after some medicine and a week later, he feels better. Then I get sick with the same thing Alex had, I didn't handle it so well, I must have taken 5 baths a day, just to cool off, or to get warm. It was not fun at all. But now we are all better, and back to our normal lives!!!</div><div style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Tahoma; "><span class="ecxApple-tab-span" style="line-height: 17px; white-space: pre; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">Alex went on his first campout as a leader with the older scouts and had so much fun. It was fun to watch the boys come up to him after Sacrament meeting and tell him how much fun they had and then to talk about the memories that were made. He is a good example to them, and they really look up to him. I stayed home alone for the first time, I got take out and came home to my warm bed and movies to watch for the night! </span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><br /></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">This past weekend Ilene came down and spent time with us, I always love when she comes in to town, because she makes us delicious food, and we love having her around! Alex loves it because he gets more attention ( what mother doesn't love to laugh hysterically at her sons jokes??!!!) The world would be a better place if there were more people like Ilene around!!! We also went to the temple on Saturday. I always enjoy temple days!!! Another one of the advantages of being married is that you get invited to the Adult parties, I was SO excited to get invited to an adult party. A couple in our ward threw a party and the people that were invited really made it fun. It was a really fun party, </span><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; ">playing games, telling stories, and laughing is so nice!!!

It's also another way to get to know us a little better. Enjoy!!!</span><br /></a><div><br /></div><div>Alex is the most organized man I have ever met. I am not organized and am really good at making messes. Alex loves to work hard, I love to play hard. I loose my keys, cellphone, or purse daily, and Alex always knows where to find them. It makes me wonder if he hides them?!!! Alex loves to ride his motorcycles for hours upon hours, I love to go on a 20 minute ride and not a minute longer. I have a habit of not cleaning my side of the room, Alex's side will ALWAYS be spotless. I am very controlling, he is more laid back. Alex gets angry when I dont put things back in their proper place, I laugh hysterically when he tries to get mad at me. I love to SPEND money, Alex loves to SAVE money. Alex will search around for a week to find the best deal in town before purchasing any big item, I buy instantly.</div><div>I love to talk on the phone, Alex hates to talk on the phone (mainly because he is partly deaf in on ear, I think!) Alex will NEVER hire anyone to do something that he can do himself, even if it takes him a long time to do it, I will pay someone money just so I don't have to do it. Alex stays up late at night, I go to bed as early as possible. Alex loves to use analogies, I love to make fun of them. (Mainly because they are stupid!) I love to blow money and shop for clothes, shoes, and make up at the mall. Alex loves to purchase tools and supplies to help make more money.</div><div>Alex favorite store to spend his money is Home Depot. </div><div><br /></div><div> Alex's favorite thing on TV is Channel 7 Eyewitness News, he watches it faithfully every night at 11:00 P.M. My Favorite shows are Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, Bringing Home Baby, and Pretty Little Liars. Alex's hobbies include: playing baseball, tennis, shooting pool, riding his motorcycles, going fishing, playing ping pong, cooking and grilling, these usually don't happen to often because he works and doesn't have time for the hobbies. Some of my hobbies include: cooking, reading love stories, going to the beach, shopping in China town, attend the temple, playing the piano, and visiting with elderly people. Alex is a worthy priesthood holder and is very strong in the church. I love my calling as a primary worker, and activity day leader. Alex tries to expand his knowledge as much as possible. I like to learn only when it's in my interest. I love to wish and hope for things that I might not ever have, Alex likes to snap me right back into reality!!! Alex has a small family, I have a HUGE family. Alex always gives me compliments, I can't keep up to give enough back to him. We both love to serve others and try to be as happy as possible. This is just a little about us and we hope you enjoyed getting to know us better. As you can see we are VERY different people, but we are crazy about each other and still married. Life isn't always happy go lucky for us, yes we do have to have those " I need to talk moments" every now and then, and yes we even do have to take a walk or ride in the car ALONE so we don't kill each other, and usually end up coming back and apologizing, then back to our normal busy life, but we wouldn't have life any other way. It's so true that opposites attract, because I always tell him that if he were to marry someone just like him, life just would be as fun as it is living with SENIA!!!! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>This year is full of SNOW over here on the east coast. Alex loves the snow, or actually he loves the money that comes from plowing. He is so good at everything he does, and everyone loves his work. He is so organized and has everything down to a system. I know it's going to be hard to believe this next line that I am going to write, but I promise you IT'S TRUE!!!! So here it is, I WAS HIS SHOVELER THIS LAST STORM. If any of you want to know what true hard work is, just be a snow shoveler. I worked really hard in the freezing cold weather for many hours. without complaining!!! I am glad I got to help him out and it went by alot faster. I usually go along for the LONG ride and just sit in the truck and let him plow and shovel himself, but today I was feeling helpful! I now am so grateful for him and the hard work he does to make a living for our family. We have had a storm every week this year so far, and its getting to the point where, people are running out of room to put the snow somewhere. But to Alex and I, we feel that we are being blessed with snow and having so much work.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-44997705925060641812011-01-07T15:16:00.000-08:002011-01-07T15:17:36.128-08:00HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

But Santa did leave a little note I have to share it with you because It was so cute. HO HO HO, Thanks for the treats. That was very nice. I was not going to stop here since Mr. Smith has two houses, and you can't fool Santa, No one gets double the gifts (unless its foggy outside and you are a reindeer, ho ho ho.

He has always been such a hard worker ever since he was little. He told me that when he was about 12 years old and they would have a Snow Day</span></span></span></div><div style="line-height: 17px; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; font-family: Tahoma; "> and cancel school, he would walk around the neighborhoods with a big shovel on his back and knock on peoples doors and offer to shovel their driveways, to make a little extra money, most people already had a plow guy that did the service for them. So when he got old enough to drive he started his own plowing and through the years he has built his little business and now has over 40 driveways that he plows. The last storm we had was HUGE, he was out plowing for many hours around 30 with limited breaks. I went along for some of it and just sat in the truck and slept because i'm still scared to stay alone in our place. I am so proud of him and thankful for the things he does to provide a living for our family. New Years eve was quiet for us this year. I had to babysit that night so Alex joined me, he fell asleep at 8:00 along with the baby, I watched the ball drop on TV, then as soon as the parents got home I got really sick, and started throwing up.

But I will catch everyone up on what has been going on over on this part of the world.<br /><br />I will start with our BIG MOVE!!! WOOHOO, just when we had given up on looking for an apartment, this wonderful deal came through and we were offered a place. It was way bigger and nicer than I ever imagined I would be in for our first place. But I am so grateful for it. It is so nice, everything is brand new, it is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with a beautiful kitchen, dining area, and our family room. I am so in love with it. I am also so happy because we finally get to use our wedding gifts that haven't been opened since August. We didn't want to get them mixed up with anything at the other house, so we just decided to wait a bit until we got our own place. It is such a cozy apartment and we love it. Something I LOVE is that we get a big walk in closet, I get my sider and he gets his side. Something my mom once told he is that having her own closet is the thing that keeps their marriage together, well I don't get my own closet yet, but having my own side really makes it nice!!! If you know Alex, he is a NEAT FREAK, if you know me, I am a SLOB!!! So that really does help with that part of the marriage. There is only one complaint I have to make about the place and that is the tapping noise we hear every 5 seconds from the pipes upstairs. I can block it out most of the time, but it drives Alex CRAZY!! He tosses and turns all night long, and He had been telling me he couldnt sleep at night because of it, and that he was going to start sleeping in another room, so this morning I woke up to an empty bed. I found Alex on the couch in the family room sleeping, I guess he just couldn't take the noise any longer. We are hoping the landlord takes care of it soon. Other than that our place is PERFECT for us!!!<br /><br />Alex has been busy with work, school, and finals, he just finished his first Semester at Marist with a GPA of a 4.0!!! He is such a good student, always early to class, hard working student, gives spectacular presentations in class, and is just an all around great student!! If I was his teacher that is the report I would give on his report card!!!<br /><br />I have been very busy with babysitting. I found a job about 5 minutes away from our house. The little boy is 16 months old, his name is Jake, and he is the most cute little boy, he is so easy going and makes life go smooth. I work long hours with Jake starting at 6:45 a.m. until 5:45 p.m. I work with Jake on Mondays and Wednesdays. I also picked up another job in New Caanen, CT on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Some Saturdays. Thats were the money is, and that little boy is 16 months as well. The drive is about an hour, but totally worth it for the Salary. The hours at this other job are alot less, so that's nice.<br /><br />We wanted to have a party to invite family/friends to see our new place, so this past weekend we had a holiday party. It was alot of fun, we played Christmas games, had a white elephant gift exchange, and had yummy food.<br /><br />A week ago Alex gave a talk in Church, it was such a nice talk. He talked on Strengthening our testimonies through service. And then a week later I gave a talk on The true meaning of Christmas. Its sad to admit, but it was the first talk I had ever given that didn't involve my mom helping me write it. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, because when I had my mom to help me, I knew it would always turn out perfect. But this time I was on my own, I got a lot of compliments on it, and everyone said I was so relaxed, even though I had a runny nose, raspy voice, and could hardly stay awake during sacrament meeting. I managed to get through!!! I was doing so good at not getting sick through the month of December with EVERYONE being sick, but I knew it was bound to happen anytime. Now I have a sick hubby that lost his voice due to a sore throat, high fever, and just so sick. I have never seen Alex as sick as he is now, so hopefully he gets better soon.<br /><br />Well we are really excited for Christmas this week!!! I am happy to say that I am all done with my shopping, so no more trips to the mall, Walmart, or any other store with 30 minute lines!!! I hope you all have a great Christmas!!! Tell Trent hi for me when he calls. I'm bummed out I wont get to talk to him, maybe you can 3 way me in somehow, I would really appreciate that if you can.

I have been VERY stressed out lately because I am worried and trying to get another job and apartment lined up, but it sure is tough. Its easy to say oh just put up ads on Craigslist or the newspaper, but then having people get back to you is the hard part. I have been working really hard trying to find a job, but it just seems hopeless, so Ilene thought it would be a good idea if we had a family fast this Sunday, for me to get a job, and for Alex and I to be able to find an apartment, and for cousin Roy to find an apartment as well. Everyone is welcome to join us in this special fast, and it would be greatly appreciated. <br /><br />I have been so emotional lately and also crave everything...here is a list of the things I always want to eat, Sauteud onions, BIG MAC, French Fries, chips and El Pato, tomatoes with ranch, and that just about does it. I have to make this stop because I refuse to gain weight and get fat... I think I am just on this emotional roller coaster, where one minute I can be so happy and then someone can say or do the wrong thing, and it just totally throws me off. I am so grateful I have such a great husband, with ALOT of patience. Hopefully it doesnt last too much longer. Its just one of those phases...<br /><br />There have been some great moments that have happened lately, and I just want to name a few because I am so happy and proud of my boys!!! Adam (9) in third grade came home with a list of 15 Hard Spelling words such as acceptance,geography,civilization,rhombus, longitude...and you get the point. Spelling is his weakest subject and it takes alot of effort and practice to learn these words. He was so sure that he would never in a million years learn how to spell those words, so I made him a deal that if he got 100% on his spelling test I would give him $5.00, and the deal was on...I was pretty sure he would atleast miss one word, so I wasnt to worried about missing my precious $5.00. He studied so hard everyday after school, and in the mornings before school, and did the homemade word search I made, along with the unscramble words, and write 5 times each, and write a sentence with the spelling word in it. Well sure enough he came home yesterday with a spelling test and 100%!!!WOOHOO I was so happy, so was he!!! Also another big accomplishment was that he had to learn all the states and capitols, and memorize where they were located on the map...so again, we worked EXTRA hard, and he got 100% on that as well!!! One more thing, he had a Hockey tournament in Massachusetts and he took his team to the championship and won the whole thing!!! Then Eric (6) first grade loves to have challenges, so we do large number addition facts flash cards, like 42+66, 22+13, and so on...I have 54 cards, and it used to take him about 5 mins to finish the deck, but now he is down to 2 minutes, so that has been a HUGE accomplishment...he isn't challenged enough in his classroom, so his homework from me gives him some challenge which he LOVES.<br /><br />I was unloading the dishwasher when Adam walked in and asked me in a very serious tone...Senia, is beauty sleep true? I answered back with, Of Course it is!!! He then asked, Why do girls always need to have their beauty sleep? I told him, it makes them feel and look prettier when they are fully rested. He replied with, Oh well then you should try getting some more beauty sleep...Maybe he is trying to tell me something...<br /><br />I cant stand when my kids are rude to eachother or hit or say mean things to me or eachother. My kids are the PUNKS... I had given them warning after warning that if it didnt stop something reallly bad was going to happen, well Eric didn't take me serious, and he kept being rude and saying rude things to me, so I decided okay thats it, I have had it with him!!! As I was thinking of a punishment, since I cant spank or flick his mouth, and timeout wouldnt teach him anything, I had already taken away his DS, so my last option was to sniff vinegar for a whole minute. I had to hold him down, and put the bottle right up to his nose, because I told him the more he fought with me the longer it would be until I started the timer... so if any of you have ever smelled vinegar, it is just GROSS, he learned a valueable lesson, and now is very nice to people!!! <br /><br />I could go on and on with stories about these boys, but most of them are just better to be forgotten.<br /><br />Last weekend was really nice, Ilene, Alex, and I rode the train to the city and went to visit Nick(alexs brother) and went to do a session at the temple. I loved going to the temple, especially there in NYC. Everything is SO busy and loud, but then the moment you step into the temple, there is this peace that just overwhelmes you. It was so wonderful, we also did some sealing, and hearing the words again, that were given at our sealing was just amazing. I love giving service and knowing that the work we did made the people in heaven so happy, that they finally got their work done. It was a great day!!! Alex and I got callings finally!!!! We are so so so excited, Alex is the 8 year old cub den leader, and I am the 8 year old activity days leader, and the 8 year old primary teacher!!! It was so neat, and we cant wait to start teaching and doing our callings!!! So that is all that has been going on here in my life!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-86316010894249815862010-10-04T08:02:00.000-07:002010-10-06T18:07:57.827-07:00BLOOMSBURG FAIR WEEKEND AND CONFERENCE WEEKENDHello everyone!!! I'm sorry I wasn't able to write last week, but I will sum it all into todays email. My computer battery died, and so I was unable to use my computer, but don't worry my handy husband took care of that problem really fast for me, and went and bought me a new one, so that we could watch conference on it for this past Saturday and Sunday.<br /><br />Last weekend was really fun, we went to PA to the Bloomsburg fair!!! I usually don't enjoy going to the fair mostly because they are so expensive and dirty, and the carnies just take your money!!! But this fair was totally different, it was still dirty and the carnies were still creepy, and yes there was one stupid carnie( or should I say one stupid girl, ME) who got my $5.00. He was totally egging me on, so I just had to do it. But on the bright side I got a little pink dog. Anyways back to why this fair was different...have any of you ever seen 33 cent sodas at the fair? Or 3 hotdogs for $1.00? Or the most delicious icecream for just $2.00??? and the best part was it was only $4.00 to get in... It was off the hook!!! Alex, Ilene, and I met up with Gail and Roy ( Ilenes sister, and her son). We had such a great time, the thing I love about when Ilene and Gail hang out is listening to them laugh, you just can't help but smile and laugh when you hear them laugh, its just contageous!!! We got there early on Saturday morning and looked at all of the exhibits. It was so neat to see others and the talents that people have!!! It just amazes me. We got little snacks along the way, and then had to stop and play some BINGO!!! None of us won, but it seemed that everyone else around us kept getting bingo!!! Alex and Roy always have a great time when they get together, and there is always talk about a bussiness that they will someday start up the name has already been decided ROY-AL enterprises. or ROY- AL cuts and styles, if I ever start up a salon!!! They love talking business and trying to think of new ideas for a future business. We got to a section at the fair where they are showing and selling lawn mowers, it was like pulling teeth trying to get Roy and Alex out of the booth. They sure were having a good time!!! Okay so I did a horrible thing at the fair, and mom and dad, you would be so embarrased if you were there, but I hesitated to do it, and then decided oh heck I will never do this again, but I just have to see this... I paid $1.00 to see the Worlds Smallest Lady She was so tiny but cute. I wanted to get my dollars worth so I tried asking her some questionns, but after answering a couple of my questions she said " You no have no money for me, then you go bye bye" I felt so bad afterwards, but it was something I just wanted to see so bad. Then we watched the pirate stunk dive show as well, and that was so scary, there was a guy who jumped off of a tiny diving board and dove from over 80 feet in the air into an 8 foot pool. It was insane, but so cool!!! We also saw a dog diving contest, and that was fascinating. We saw all of the animals and I got really sick from the hay, I think I am allergic to hay, because I got so sick the rest of the night. The fair has the worlds best fudge and the famous whoopie pies, I don't care for them, but they loved them so we brought home dozens for the rest of the family!!! Another tradition in the Angel family is to stop by Barrigans a sandwich shop and get subs, but you have to wait and eat them the next day, so we waited 45 minutes to get a sub before we headed home for the night. I was so exhasuted and ready to fall to the ground the minute we got back to the car. I thought I would sleep so well since felt so yucky from the fair, but I slept maybe 2 hours that night. and if I can't sleep, then as you can guess Alex doesn't get to sleep. He was so good and tried to take care of me the best he could, until finally 6 am, he went and slept on the couch. All the coughing, sneezing, weezing really got to me.<br /><br />Then Sunday morning I was extremely tired, but saw that Alex and his mom were ready to walk out the door, so I hurried and threw on my Sunday clothes, makeup, and did my hair as best as possible, because I refuse to wear my hair in a pony tail to church ( thanks to my mom for never allowing us to do that growing up) I managed to style a pretty bun!!! Church was really good, I could hardly stay awake, but the speakers were so good. We then headed home and Alex started on some projects that his mom had planned for him. He is very well rounded and can do almost anything, so he put a new roof on her shed, poured some cement in the ground hog holes, and I helped paint the shed. I didn't do much, because I started feeling sick again, so as I am inside sleeping, Alex and his mom are outside slaving away and got everything done. It turned out so nice!!!!<br /><br /><br />Conference Weekend<br />The rest of the week was really relaxed with the kids in school and the parents both working outside of the home, so I rested alot!!! I had to watch my kids on Saturday night, and it worked out well because Alex was at the priesthood meeting. I was about to put them to bed, and I asked if they wanted a story read to them or for me to tell them a story. Of course they wanted to hear my story. I have to limit the stories, or else I can go on and on because they ask just one more!!! So I told the stories of what I could remember, they often ask about the grandma that chatters alot... when I was with the Goldstien kids, I would always talk with Grandma Mary on the phone, and so the Goldstien kids told my kids to ask me about the grandma that like to chat!!! haha it was too cute. One story I could remember was of when Trent was a toddler and my mom being on bed rest, and couldn't give trent all the attention he wanted so he dumped out all the marshmallows and started stomping on the floor. Or lillie cutting my dads shoe laces, and they got a kick out of that one. They love hearing funny things that grandma Mullenaux does, and I only tell them what I know and see on facebook, so make sure you keep your statuses updated!!! A while ago I was telling them about how I had a great grandma, and how I had a cousin that would call her grandma grape. So now they always ask to hear a story about grandma grape. I don't know that many,so if you any of you do, send them to me please!!! I'm sure my kids will LOVE to hear them!!! It was such a good night, I guess it's always a good day/night when the kids are so well behaved. And If I still have a voice at the end from the yelling I do!!!<br /><br />Conference was sooo good!!! I love watching it and listening to the great speakers!!! I always enjoy the wonderful chior too. This weekend Alex and I attempted to make Aunt Amys homemade fudge...well I let Alex go first, just incase he made any mistakes I could learn from him!!! He started his batch, and didn't stir it continuously, so it burned, but we don't like to waste anything, so we proceeded with the fudge, it actually didn't really taste that good, sorry!!! So then it was my turn, I made mine and everything turned out great, except when the chocolate chips wouldn't melt and I got tired or stirring after ten minutes then we just dumped it in a pan and let it cool. So next time we visit Thatcher, Aunt Amy we need some one on one lessons for your fudge!!! But I will say that Alex does make an amazing chili!!! He made that one night, and then Hawaiian haystacks for Sunday dinner!!! People out here don't know what Hawaiian haystacks are!!! CRAZY HUH??!!!<br />Anyways that's about it for these last two weeks!!! It has been getting really cold now and so its time to get out the winter clothes, jackets, scarves, and BOOTS!!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRWGVul2sD3vAhFhzyfmlgx1k8U00bxf1u7CICX8GCGc9MPRikAFq8ZQ1rUHrp7ucPKOckpHAMnBuGvvxXV7gFc1ZUbRcLel_ejWBVbpRIQ2jPJ_fW7uw4gLh0w5cu43bcgFfjbAPFcVk/s1600/royal.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRWGVul2sD3vAhFhzyfmlgx1k8U00bxf1u7CICX8GCGc9MPRikAFq8ZQ1rUHrp7ucPKOckpHAMnBuGvvxXV7gFc1ZUbRcLel_ejWBVbpRIQ2jPJ_fW7uw4gLh0w5cu43bcgFfjbAPFcVk/s200/royal.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525104045536373250" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgne3QGjTqJvy80Ky7jisNaFgHK87LtkM-cG6OQJn7Q_xgLEAFBKNTdCKSaqdkAe1zMcuPgEsypEScYnIezA_rU-IvkUim21dsLCCZiy7sFn8_Eah6pRy61jwrbc0ikv1UxYuffeYID2ls/s1600/barrigans.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgne3QGjTqJvy80Ky7jisNaFgHK87LtkM-cG6OQJn7Q_xgLEAFBKNTdCKSaqdkAe1zMcuPgEsypEScYnIezA_rU-IvkUim21dsLCCZiy7sFn8_Eah6pRy61jwrbc0ikv1UxYuffeYID2ls/s200/barrigans.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525102920374496274" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlCyiw2mjdP5nwKgKSoL8Z_fr9vT8OZaDwlp3FejtoXffskFSzhw5mLiHaT62L4BmTTs4B9q0G6RCnw0jzSuChw3p_ljkPHuEtgNWE79P0GGglCPJZdDtew_2AmeugCaORxYqcwLsIkEI/s1600/roof4.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlCyiw2mjdP5nwKgKSoL8Z_fr9vT8OZaDwlp3FejtoXffskFSzhw5mLiHaT62L4BmTTs4B9q0G6RCnw0jzSuChw3p_ljkPHuEtgNWE79P0GGglCPJZdDtew_2AmeugCaORxYqcwLsIkEI/s200/roof4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525103720641091698" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPyQuKsreRlNAcJ65yEvWAu66SmHpJgDkI5utR6CGAU-d4XtHhO9o6lhDKsd_RDcjWQ0hh5dr-Q3xuxu53J9MxJZRe50eB56L-S3DsKqFyNK25GwGyx_rw_AiqMikYQTYMtOX_jHxL20/s1600/roof6.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoPyQuKsreRlNAcJ65yEvWAu66SmHpJgDkI5utR6CGAU-d4XtHhO9o6lhDKsd_RDcjWQ0hh5dr-Q3xuxu53J9MxJZRe50eB56L-S3DsKqFyNK25GwGyx_rw_AiqMikYQTYMtOX_jHxL20/s200/roof6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525104466065072290" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHziKIyHo6KrL-ppOYstzYY3d9RdpLqEShkxJPpC2L5J2TfjDkIWtVi2guoPv3TsBFcvrnj4FxTKdkgMvNWWe6tL1HzX5N1i70SE1oocITzpzULrW3cTfEj8fJp3E7WPaQ2lJbn2Oy9h4/s1600/bingo.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHziKIyHo6KrL-ppOYstzYY3d9RdpLqEShkxJPpC2L5J2TfjDkIWtVi2guoPv3TsBFcvrnj4FxTKdkgMvNWWe6tL1HzX5N1i70SE1oocITzpzULrW3cTfEj8fJp3E7WPaQ2lJbn2Oy9h4/s200/bingo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525103247980993858" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBP53XHkuT-STbwWxp8sB9AxbRGDoeAwO2eRB9_vwvvs0adztQbT_NUZywIPHJJs-zFfNt0zKwYJPH1-IiB0uvH2S_TofKDb0RNPdFm399FXZ1FGU24e2f13LwqXdTBA7Q3POJcJ6iQIQ/s1600/roof1.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBP53XHkuT-STbwWxp8sB9AxbRGDoeAwO2eRB9_vwvvs0adztQbT_NUZywIPHJJs-zFfNt0zKwYJPH1-IiB0uvH2S_TofKDb0RNPdFm399FXZ1FGU24e2f13LwqXdTBA7Q3POJcJ6iQIQ/s200/roof1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525103554926153602" border="0" /></a>Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-83048665943469446582010-09-15T17:17:00.000-07:002010-09-15T17:25:02.409-07:00Fall is hereIts starting to get cold here in Connecticut. We had such nice weather all summer long and I enjoyed every minute of going to the pool, jumping off of the deck into the lake thats right in our back yard, eating popsicles in the afternoons, and just all the fun things summer has to offer. I really LOVE fall and Winter though. I am already getting excited for the holidays and the excitement of the holiday festivities. I was so excited I was at the Dollar store and bought some light up pumpkin earrings to wear on Halloween!!! I love going to the stores and seeing the decorations and windows painted, its just such a happy time in life right now!!! I am so excited for the snow to come, not only so that my husband can make more money, but it's just so pretty to see white everywhere!!! I am so thankful for all the different seasons and the beauty they each bring!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-44575577836115785742010-09-08T15:14:00.001-07:002010-09-08T16:22:00.930-07:00FUN PICTURES!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyAQLojZFDQXAh1i6wDsKDkOHqtG8pjjLfxmRqU61Si7EhF3MH8WwE_UMQ6vMx8c0lA_ki19pMwyxl65eTnoGLwuaQnJOm737OLZbYb9FNSelCOZhnsYOCm9Rf-sJW7v6bNh6swy6DZgM/s1600/Alex+and+Senia-238.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Thank you to Gene and Ellen "Alex's aunt and uncle" for sharing the timeshares they have. Alex and I got our own studio apartment, while the rest of the family shared a place. We had special privileges since we were the NEWLY WEDS!!! We actually didnt spend much time in our room, just because we were having way too much fun partying with the family.<br /><br />Saturday- Ilene, Alex and I woke up really early to catch our plane at 7:00 a.m. We had a layover and then we were off to Florida. We finally get there and it was sure HUMID!!! I thought it was bad here in CT, but Florida is way WORSE!!! Gene came to pick us up and we then met up with the whole family, Ellen was in the kitchen making snacks, and they were so tasty. We all went swimming and the nice and beautiful pools they have there, they even had a lazy river that I fell in love with. We went back to the room played cards, ate dinner, and then went pool hopping later that night.<br /><br />Sunday- Alex and I woke up nice and early to get ready for the day at Magic Kingdom. We met everyone there and started on the rides!!! The lines weren't bad, but we also had Heather( a cousin of Alex's) to be our tour guide. She was so good and new all the tricks and what to ride first and so on. We rode on Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain Railroad, the jungle cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion, Carousel of Progress, Mickys Philharmagic, hall of presidents, Monsters Inc Laugh floor, and thats all I can remember for now. We stopped to eat lunch somewhere in there. Let me tell you about lunch, Ellen and Gene got us these awesome meal plans!!!! We shared 6 snacks and 6 meals at the park everyday, not everyone would come to the park so we would get to have our own, and the snacks and meals were AMAZING AND SO GOOD!!! We went home for alittle bit and took a nap, ate dinner and came strait back to the park for more fast passes that needed to be used up and the Electric Light Parade and Fireworks. Alex, John, Mindy,Roy, Chis, and I had so much fun watching the parade. We got so much attention from the characters since we were so loud and fun!!<br /><br />Monday- ANIMAL KINGDOM!!!! This park was really fun we well, it was a more relaxed day, with going to Asia and enjoying our safari ride that got cut 13 days short. We saw so many different animals, so it was really neat. We sat down to eat lunch and it started pouring, good thing we were inside. It rained everyday, but only while we were eating lunch. We then went to Expedition Everest, and that ride was pretty cool. Alex and I rode that ride 4 times in a row!!! WE loved it!! The shows we watched that day were Its tough to be a bug, Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo the musical, and they were all terrific!!! And after all that fun, we went back to the timeshare and went swimming some more, except this time was a little bit better, because Alex and I had to move to another timeshare, and so we moved to the Yacht and Beach club, and that pool had a big water slide, and sand at the bottom of the pools!!! SO we had a pool party at our place with the family!!!<br /><br />Tuesday- Brian came in on Monday and we were all at animal kingdom, so we went back to Magic Kingdom for Brian that day and did everything over again.<br /><br />Wednesday was MGM Universal Studios!!!! Alex was SOOO excited to go to the TOWER OF TERROR, so we hit that one up first, while Chris got us fast passes for Rock N Roll ROller Coaster... That ride was AWESOME!!!!! Its pitch dark and music blasting in your ears, while doing loops, and taking off from 0-60 in 2 seconds...it was just so awesome!!! Some of the other things we did that day were lights camera action stunt show, that was so cool as well. Star Tours, muppets vision 3D, Indiana Jones Stunt. Wd didnt stay all day there, because it was really humid and we were looking forward to swimming at the pools!!! So that's what we did on Wednesday!!!<br /><br />Thursday- Lorettas Birthday!!! We let her pick which park she wanted to go to since it was her birthday, and she picked Epcot. The whole family came on this one, and we did pretty much everything there was to do there, but I still want to name everything we did. Living with the land, Soarin, Circle of Life, Then we went to Mexico and ate lunch, and had to tour it so we started with the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring Donald Duck and the three caballeros, then to China and watched refflections of China. We wanted to eat at China as well, so we used our other 3 lunches and ate some Orange Chicken!!! We then went to Norway, and rode a boat ride there.<br />We didnt go to all the countries, but got most of them, then headed home for dinner and pools again!!!<br /><br />Friday- We are now on our last day of vacation at Disney world...Alex and I went shopping for some suveniers and then ate at the Rain forest Cafe for lunch. I bought this beautiful Christmas ornament, and now I am really looking forward to Christmas being here so I can hang it up on our tree. I also got a really cute apron, and a towel. We spent most of the day shopping and then went back for our last time to swim, we had so much fun that day- night, we made pyramids, played games in the water, contests of who could swim the fastest, and Congrats to John for beating Alex by a tiny bit!!! This vacation was just AMAZING and it was just a BLAST getting to know the family and LAUGHING SOOO MUCH!!!<br /><br />Saturday- We got up at 3:00 a.m. to get to the airport and leave for home by 6:00 a.m. on the airplane. I slept the whole way. We hurried home because Alex had a moving job, I went food shopping and then took a nice long nap!!!<br /><br />Sunday- It was a special day, Alex, Ilene and I went to church. I always love to go to church when Ilene is here in town, because she gets to play the organ at church, and its so nice to listen to her play, shes fantastic. Everyone is so nice to me in the ward, and I still am getting comments on how good of a job Alex did with the reception. I guess I didnt impress them enough!! just kidding!!! I do give him 90% of the credit!!! We came home and we had to make dinner for Scott, an autistic friend that Alex has, and he comes down every year for his birthday, and his favorite meal is for Alex to grill chicken and veggies, and make him his special quesadillas!!! Alex is so good at making things extra specail, ha made delicious quesadillas, I made Spanish rice, and Brownies. Alex designs his quesadillas and on one he spelled out HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT, it was so cute. We then had brownies with a scoop of ice cream on top, and with whip topping with a cherry, and a fancy caramel-chocolate design. It was a great time. You did a great job with everything you did ALEX!!!! Another great thing about Alex is that he is so good at cleaning up after meals. He washes the dishes and cleans the kitchen!!! SO that I can take a nap!!! Oh I just love him to DEATH!!! After our nap we went on a motorcycle bike ride and had a nice evening!!! Well thats all until next time!!!<br /><br />ONE MORE THING!!! I have been miserable all summer long, and my day of happiness finally came!!! It was the day that my kids went back to school!!!! It was this past WEDNESDAY!!!!! WOOOHOOOO. So now work is just great and I LOVE IT!!! Alex started school on Monday so we are all really proud of him!!! GOOD LUCK HUNNY, YOU WILL DO GREAT!!!!<br /><br />Here are a few pictures from Disney, these are all that Al sent me, I'm sorry I couldn't get everyone that was there in the pictures, if you forward them to me, the I will post your beautiful face!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiubWLUvvPE3dXQwvRr46TAQfOH-__FiK8jax6DY0FQJsMTDdhy3wIEPmOUNJn9KjuOiSxElSBxVJYZP4tywinAoYerN_7nDM4CHIMTFqQfVawUBq-ZTFM27NQKUB9BGEZ5xyxXM2rf4ws/s1600/senia+ilene.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Alex and I and his family have really been looking forward to this day for a LONG time!!! And it finally came. We started our trip with Outback Steakhouse on our way to PA. I had a coupon for a FREE bloomin onion, so we used that and then shared a meal. We were then on our way to PA, we talked, listened to music, sang along to our favorite songs, and just had a great time being together. We got to his moms house and went to sleep early, because we were getting up early the next morning to go to HERSHEY PARK!!! His mom was so nice, she let us take her van up and we all just rode together.

We finally got to his Aunt Gails and uncle Daves house. They had dinner ready for us, and they are fantastic cooks, must run in the family because Alex and his mom are AMAZING cooks!!!<br />We had home made pizza, fresh corn on the cob, it was picked from the fields too!!<br /><br /><br /><br />The next morning we woke up and had a nice breakfast, with omelets and then waited for Eliza to get to the house!! She finally arrived and off we were to go get my bouquet for the wedding. It was very pretty, but very small, so we went to A.C. Moore and got silk green flowers and some other materials and Eliza redid the whole thing!!! She sure did work some wonders in that!!!<br /><br />I also wanted a sash to go around my dress, so Alex had bought me a sash but it wasn't quite the way I thought it would look, so Aunt Gail whipped out her sewing machine, and made it PERFECT!!! It seemed as if everything fell right into place.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt6ASXj7JIIbsiAMye7OLo7ONKyLv2UDeTKJDbi1mb-YmUE5OchHJHile-aCkO65NgjUlEwi8WJLHFhrdN8Vh_knH-RsuPCmj5szJYumq6MjeY8oqVYwOuYn1tZPvMeMN7gCBC4gBg390/s1600/100_0612.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt6ASXj7JIIbsiAMye7OLo7ONKyLv2UDeTKJDbi1mb-YmUE5OchHJHile-aCkO65NgjUlEwi8WJLHFhrdN8Vh_knH-RsuPCmj5szJYumq6MjeY8oqVYwOuYn1tZPvMeMN7gCBC4gBg390/s200/100_0612.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504330831163487042" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1Ke-lwZxgNiXbsyi1RPYWoMW2ngrj176dGU_gY3mdv8ZlHmEPaQ0ToAwyk4HipsVdZD4yIMqiTXYhyRTV26H-Z98OPNfz2wJmAktAa4RP4UzThNKFfZGaieBr3uwkLUBtmTGf8aiijg/s1600/100_0611.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI1Ke-lwZxgNiXbsyi1RPYWoMW2ngrj176dGU_gY3mdv8ZlHmEPaQ0ToAwyk4HipsVdZD4yIMqiTXYhyRTV26H-Z98OPNfz2wJmAktAa4RP4UzThNKFfZGaieBr3uwkLUBtmTGf8aiijg/s200/100_0611.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504331397290066738" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCD0AkRHYYwQq64XpTkQ4nOKD-jwG-lVmsKpe5DwINopTderENnvvXA7olnXS-fQWZ_nkIbHCm1L9i07tN9T8fJ5hRuebzO4KtAyeFJ4_7Mpy7r1mEMHX9r_JFZ1tjSk9NGH7LYGq07d8/s1600/100_0613.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCD0AkRHYYwQq64XpTkQ4nOKD-jwG-lVmsKpe5DwINopTderENnvvXA7olnXS-fQWZ_nkIbHCm1L9i07tN9T8fJ5hRuebzO4KtAyeFJ4_7Mpy7r1mEMHX9r_JFZ1tjSk9NGH7LYGq07d8/s200/100_0613.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504333193835988354" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXE4r9G4wP4xF-1ZUAUc1PRmcMcXrE6lVAdrYa_NNtStsNK622RD6A1jtZVmaj653JkR4hzZ4Bu8N0CxhftvM__P1CZyeZijiyM5BEpVxvzw3i2kygA_j4mBFi-DR8v-H2gA1iPi88ypY/s1600/100_0615.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXE4r9G4wP4xF-1ZUAUc1PRmcMcXrE6lVAdrYa_NNtStsNK622RD6A1jtZVmaj653JkR4hzZ4Bu8N0CxhftvM__P1CZyeZijiyM5BEpVxvzw3i2kygA_j4mBFi-DR8v-H2gA1iPi88ypY/s200/100_0615.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504333458351978930" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We all sat around and had a great time visiting and LAUGHING the rest of the afternoon.

But with the Angel family, they are NEVER late for anything, so they always like to be early just to be safe. Alex and I do our photo shoot for about 1 1/2 hours and then family comes in and joins us. It was honestly a blast and Alex was just a great person to take pictures with, he had so many creative ideas and we just told the photographer what we wanted to do and she just kept snapping the camera!! She was really cool and fun. After pictures, it was time for the Temple!!! I LOVED the temple so much, it was the most special place I had ever entered into. I have never had so many blessing poured out upon me in one day!!! I would go back every day if I could, it was just the most peaceful feeling in the whole world. Alex had Uncle Dave as his escort, and I had Alexs sweet mother as my escort. It was truly an experience I will never forget.<br /><br /><br />We then went to a really nice restaurant with the family for late lunch and then Alex had booked a room for us that night at the York Town Hotel!! It was an AWESOME hotel and very pricey.<br /><br />The next morning we came back to the house and packed up and left for home...It was the most happiest and peaceful times in my whole entire life!!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!!!! I married the best guy in the whole world!!! And he married the most best girl in the whole world!!! Together we can conquer ANYTHING!!!! I LOVE my new husband so much, even more than I did before! I am so excited to be his wife, and get to cook for him and keep our house nice and clean!!! I just think life is great!!! I know it won't always be this easy or great, but I am ready to go for it, as long as I have my sweetheart beside me!!!

The first week in June I spent 3 hours in the morning at Adams baseball camp, while Eric was in Soccer camp at the same time. It was really fun, Christa would bring her kiddos over to the field and we would play and talk the whole time. I would bring snacks for us all and we just had such a great time!!! Our afternoons we so nice, Judy, a friend of mine has a great private pool, so we would spend the afternoons there. Then we also celebrated Alex's birthday!!! We went to Olive Garden, so yummy!!!! Alex also sold his old bike and then bought a NEW bike all in one day!!! He is so good with deals, and totally made a steal on this one. Going on bike rides is so much fun and relaxing.<br /><br />July- I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 4th of July, and I had always wanted to go see Macys fireworks, so Alex was so nice to take me down to NYC on his bike to watch them. WE first got there and Alex had heard there was a free barbeque so if any of you know Alex, anything that says FREE, he is all over it!!! The food looked so good, and so we waited in line for about 45 minutes and when we got to the front of the line, they only had hotdogs left. They always food tastes so much better when you are really hungry and have to wait FOREVER for it, they were sure right about that, that hotdog was so DELICIOUS!!! We then went and had donut ice cream sandwiches with Matt, Loretta, and Nick. Then finally the fireworks!!!! They were absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Going home was a nightmare with the traffic though, but totally worth it!!!! We are getting so excited and only 3 weeks away from the WEDDING!!!! WOOO HOOO, we are so extremely excited, that's all we find ourselves talking about whenever we are together on the phone or in person!!! He is SO good with being organized and everything has it's own folder and file, it's so nice to have such an organized and always prepared for anything kind of husband. I know I will have a great life with Alex being my husband!!! I also can't wait to wear my dress, it's going to be GORGEOUS, and so will my HAIR. Alex's mother is so sweet and she threw me a surprise bridal shower, it was so much fun with games, food, and GREAT LAUGHS!!!! We also got some awesome gifts from everyone. I just LOVE this family, they are awesome!!! Well next month will sure be BUSY and just wonderful, that will be a nice long post!!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-67889737632531168112010-06-07T17:54:00.000-07:002010-06-07T18:44:12.669-07:00ALL ABOUT MAY!!!!!WOW all I can say is that May was a fantastic month!!!!! I love living on the east coast and seeing the beauty of nature all around me. The kids were getting so tired of me pulling off the side of the road so I could take a picture of a pretty flower, tree, or bush. I just got out of control. But I don't regret it one bit. I wasn't always like as a nanny during those times, but they soon learned to get over it.<br /><br />The next great thing was that Jake ( the boy I used to nanny) had his communion. He was really excited for it and it was a nice service. You ALWAYS know there is good homemade or catered food when Laura (Jake's Mom) is in charge. It was AMAZING!!!!!<br /><br />Then we were off to Alex's sister loretta's wedding. I was a very nice ceremony and the food again was so good!!! It was so much fun to spend so much time with my soon to be family!!! I can't wait to be part of the family, they are the BEST EVER. His mom is probably the most sweet lady in the whole world. When you meet her, you just fall in love with her! Everyone is just so nice and awesome people. The day after the wedding ALex and I put on an AWESOME BBQ for the family...Let me tell you, Alex is the best griller you will ever meet. He made a menu and personalized it by putting family names such as "The Modesto Madness Burger" or " The Great Aunt Gail Guacamole Burger" he is just great. I had my cute apron on and was the waitress and Alex's assistant.

We live on a lake, and have parties every week... Susan throws an awesome party...Each week is a different theme, but just so much fun. They invite several families over and we go on boat rides, we have 2 boats, one is a pontoon boat and the other is a water skiing boat. We go cannoning, jet skiing, kayaking, eat chicken, fish, and steak cob-obs, with freshly made appetizers, with tasty desserts. Sit around the deck or in the hot tub. It's just the great life!!!<br /><br />Also Alex and I started our Temple Prep class, we really enjoy going to it, and get alot out of it. It ahs been really neat to get to prepare to go to the temple. Each week we meet with the Bishop and he gives us certain talks to read and study and then the next week we go and discuss it with him. We have learned alot from that as well. We feel that we have been blessed so much in all just by living the Commandments. We are so excited to get married and start our lives together as a married couple.<br /><br />Well that's all in May...It was a very fun and busy month!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-40956284912001789882010-04-27T14:48:00.000-07:002010-04-27T15:14:43.932-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWtD5-E5WNWtQ9fThdHn9IleKdXkbNanjCeXVO2_NGt3jofLhCxwr4j3FuTc1UmGwgtaTCRTzuRIqLSnAXRbieJ45CTWJO1ZUqu74D89a9k6Y1bCUWHtYYmH0WyEghvtf9-kWtHL-_gjw/s1600/waterfall.aspx"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWtD5-E5WNWtQ9fThdHn9IleKdXkbNanjCeXVO2_NGt3jofLhCxwr4j3FuTc1UmGwgtaTCRTzuRIqLSnAXRbieJ45CTWJO1ZUqu74D89a9k6Y1bCUWHtYYmH0WyEghvtf9-kWtHL-_gjw/s200/waterfall.aspx" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464941606917080370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Here are some pictures of the fun day in P.A.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYm1DgRD48HK6AE-t3t6NpAvOjisgCSdqvM0yrn6VGjmPWpzSRYf55S8OqqIU11J2F7l31d3l_TGB1TBDr27Uflh-5mbAnIP48x6dlepJ9O9NO4d29B-PYZG9N689pOsi_Oq4wgmvHNw/s1600/alex+proposing.aspx"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRYm1DgRD48HK6AE-t3t6NpAvOjisgCSdqvM0yrn6VGjmPWpzSRYf55S8OqqIU11J2F7l31d3l_TGB1TBDr27Uflh-5mbAnIP48x6dlepJ9O9NO4d29B-PYZG9N689pOsi_Oq4wgmvHNw/s200/alex+proposing.aspx" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464938246539712338" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Alex is FINALLY proposing!!!

It was a nice ride up there, we stopeed at Krispy Kremes of course...it's a tradition that cannot be broken. I had gone to Target on Friday and I bought her a cute basket and filled it with goodies for Easter!!! It was pretty dang cute! We got there and had a picnic for Easter down by the waterfalls she has in her backyard...they are AMAZING!!!! We had such a good time together. Conference was so good, I always look forward to this time, because it's so nice to listen to all of the talks and speakers and the choir. Alex was getting ready to go to the priesthood meeting later that night, and asked me to wait up for him. I was so tired and he finally got home at 11:00 p.m. I waited up just for him to come and ask me if I wanted to go on a walk. As you can guess, I was not a very happy person. I went on the walk but was very grouchy. When we got back to the house I could tell he wasn't happy either. So we just both went to sleep and got some rest. the next morning he said he wanted to go take some pictures by the waterfalls. I was in so much of a better mood, mostly because I am more of a morning person and not a late night person like he is. But i got dressed cute and we went and took some pictures. He kept looking at me and kissing my cheek, lips, hand...I was getting annoyed becuase he doesn't usually act like that. So next thing I know, he says " Well I have some news for you" He reaches down his pants " the ring is in a box tucked in his undershirt, while the belt is holding it" He tells me, " The ring came in early" and he gets down on one knee and says " Ms. Senia will you marry me?" It was so sweet and I just laughed and was so shocked that I was actually FINALLY getting it!!! he made a comment, you never said Yes or No... I laughed and said YES!!! It is GORGEOUS!!! We called everyone and let them know!! I am now making my own announcements, they are so stinkin cute!!! Well that has been the most recent news lately!.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0X4KfBigy_z4NAlGhTBOyXpWDLSwefyQ-5pv_EBzYMobS6IvrV2lc6ybX_9XDtEMbsai5W2aQUONi5UBmN74UfSFmYMnTIIQU5V1zX7LJNqhYXNx8IPEAP9nCY3Q1dXESN3e3Hlh5QiE/s1600/Endless-Love-Blinkie.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 180px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0X4KfBigy_z4NAlGhTBOyXpWDLSwefyQ-5pv_EBzYMobS6IvrV2lc6ybX_9XDtEMbsai5W2aQUONi5UBmN74UfSFmYMnTIIQU5V1zX7LJNqhYXNx8IPEAP9nCY3Q1dXESN3e3Hlh5QiE/s320/Endless-Love-Blinkie.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464934849477238306" border="0" /></a>Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-21271489899349264722010-04-15T18:26:00.000-07:002010-04-15T18:33:42.168-07:00Red Lobster and Ring ShoppingMarch 15,2010<br /><br />For those of you who don't know the story of how soon Alex and I went to go look at engagement rings, here it is!!! I had been back for 1 day and that night Alex took me to Red Lobster and then Ring shopping!!! What an amazing guy, RIGHT???!!!! It was a fun night of just being so happy to be back together laughing, hugging, kissing, just having a great time!!! We went to alot of stores and finally found a ring that I absolutely LOVED!!!

I am so madly in love with Alex, he is such a hard worker, so cute, great with anything he does, just your typical "All American Guy". I had moved back to Arizona for six weeks and decided that I wasn't feeling the happiest without Alex there with me. I have to tell the whole story for my sake because I want to remember it exactly how it happened. I got a nanny job offer in the same town I was in before I left and it was with some friends of my last family. I took the job and told Alex all about it. He was so excited to hear that I was coming back! I told him I would be back on March 27,2010. He was so excited to know that and that he had something to look forward to. I told him that I was going to go do baptisms for the dead that next Saturday, and that I was having an all girls night the night before baptisms, so I wouldn't be able to talk at all. While I made up this huge story so that he would have NO idea that I was flying back that weekend to SURPRISE him!!! I had such a hard time keeping it a secret, the only thing that kept me going and not opening my mouth was the thought of " this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I can't ruin it". So I was to fly out on Friday night at midnight, but ended up flying out at 3:30 that next morning. I was so tired and grouchy, I hadn't slept at all because I was so excited to come back to CT. I finally landed in New York, and I go to get my bags, and I am missing my huge suitcase...I had a small carry on with some clothes, so I was okay for a couple of days. I got to see the new family and played with them for a bit that night. It was really funny when I got here, I started sneezing so much. I noticed they had 2 cats, a hampster, 2 dogs...a ZOO!!! I slept well that night and then it was the big day SUNDAY...my surprise. I called Alex that Sunday morning and talked for about 5 minutes, because I just couldn't hold it in anymore and I knew if I talked to him any longer it would just spill. I couldn't text Alex that much during the day, so he got worried and thought I was mad at him. I told him we needed to talk later, about the temple and the feeling I had. So I get to church and the power is out but they are still having church because the bishop is getting released that day. I walk in and see him sitting toward the front, I walk in and look at his face, he is so sad and I can tell he is just really thinking about something. I walk up to his row and ask very nicely if I can sit next to him...His mouth just dropped...He was so shocked...Being next to him was just so amazing!!! I have never been so happy to see someone before!!! It was the best surprise EVER!!! I totally pulled it off so AMAZINGLY, without him finding out!!! It was such an amazing day!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-86034400117085971852010-03-09T11:24:00.000-08:002010-03-09T11:34:36.454-08:00Flagstaff...I moved from CT to Flagstaff about a month ago. Things have definitely been different with actually being able to sit down for 5 minutes and not having to worry or ask myself "what is Maria doing... or Jake did you do your homework... or what should I make for dinner tonight? These are all questions that I would ask myself throughout the day. I thought it would be a good idea to take a break for a little bit and come home and be with family. The timing was sad though, three days after I came home my Grandpa Mullenaux passed away. It was a very hard and sad time for the family, but it also helped everyone to pull together. He is in a better place and without pain, and the great thing is that it makes me want to be a better person because I know he is watching over me and everyone else and making sure they are doing what's right. I do have good news now though...I decided that I want to go back to CT for one reason. That one reason is ALEX, I want to be close to him so that we can continue this great adventure together. I got a job as a nanny again but with a different family. I will talk about them in my posts to come!! I am SO excited, things will move fast with Alex and I when I get back!!! It is going to be a great time... I can't wait to get back though!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-39520841486706346502010-02-02T19:32:00.000-08:002010-02-02T20:19:25.417-08:00New Changes!!!Last week we had a new addition to our family, I am going back to Arizona and Christa is the new nanny!!! The kids are so cute and have been saying the most cutest things. Maria's new thing is "OHHH MYYY GOSSSSHHH!!!" She says that quite frequently, I just mock her and she gets so upset! She has quite the attitude and is the BOSS of this house!!! Jake had his reconciliation and was so proud that he got to move forward in the next step of one of the sacraments. Alex is learning his new sight words such as... Am, An, Nut, And, To...he is doing so much better. This is my last week here, and it's really sad and hard but life will only get better. It's so nice to have an extra set of hands around. Especially when it seems that I am now having a hard time doing what seems to be like EVERYTHING at one time. With doing homework with Alex, while trying to fix dinner, while answering Jakes questions, and Maria whining that nobody will play with her!!! I really now can say that being a mom is HARD work, but SO rewarding. I have loved every bit of this experiance more than anything. I feel like I have grown so much and learned so so much. I am very grateful to have been placed in such an amazing family. My kids and the parents have really made such a difference in my life and have it just that much better. Laura is this fully italian cook and her cooking is AMAZING!!! She has taught me so much and she is the kind of mother that I want to be some day. I have so much respect and love for Laura. This has been the BEST experience of my life. I am looking forward to being back to my family in Thatcher, it will be different but fun. I am looking forward to seeing what life brings next for me!!!Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-33181380071221699782010-01-14T15:40:00.000-08:002010-01-14T16:23:40.722-08:00Fun times in ThatcherA week in Thatcher is just way too much fun. It is all full of partying, eating, staying up all night playing games, talking, laughing, trips to Dennys, Sonic. It was a very fun week!!! Christmas was really nice, my mom gave me this really really cute Apron that was hand made. All of the girls had one...they were so dang cute!!! It was so nice to hang out with family and cousins. I love being with my family, they are so much fun and just make life the best! One day we took a random trip to the Burger house in Miami for lunch. They have the best burritos. It was just so great to be with family. I have the best father in the world, he flew back with me to Connecticut!!!! It was a great trip.Life On The East Coasthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12197557092768746084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852779136430587194.post-24460757278675323102009-12-07T06:06:00.000-08:002009-12-07T06:45:00.993-08:00Cute pictures +Santa<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht0XBNqU3j-nsJsQUcH_ACTmwwjtq6GCW1bUSvx2b9YoowO9s6wdQUoo00vrkYQnnUw5_UmHIMJXAdf3jfeAGPveLPbvrtwte1I634hXVfFPNhaZQfXq9LNQS6070YayTSRYd_Xp61b34/s1600-h/IMG_2416.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht0XBNqU3j-nsJsQUcH_ACTmwwjtq6GCW1bUSvx2b9YoowO9s6wdQUoo00vrkYQnnUw5_UmHIMJXAdf3jfeAGPveLPbvrtwte1I634hXVfFPNhaZQfXq9LNQS6070YayTSRYd_Xp61b34/s320/IMG_2416.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412500550059906802" border="0" /></a><br />On Saturday the kids got to go have breakfast with Santa, they had a great time. Dan waited in line while I sat with the kids and did little crafts and decorated cookies. It was s good time!!Another fun thing that happened this week was it SNOWED!!!! It wasn't alot but just a little storm. I love when it snow, just because it's so pretty, and way fun to play in. Also I got all of my Christmas shopping done!!!! I have nothing to worry about now! Wow I can't wait and am so excited. I love Alex and he is so cute, this Sunday was his birthday, and he got so spoiled for his special day. He is 6 years old, and just too cute!!!!! Also my Alex A. is such a good sport on Sundays when I beg him to match his tie with my outfit!!! He's the BEST, and I am sooo lucky to have him!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcoKzan9K53fOBHTC1KfEr2kgCAqc4kzHLEIqjyE331PB3w85VyGnUBuD9NDWUBAXPUsrtP8ZynUr62K32d5Oj6cZHmjOGkusSYuYKHwlee5lw7OgQi_WhGMq5B7D2vZNF8e63CJOp2sw/s1600-h/IMG_2404.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcoKzan9K53fOBHTC1KfEr2kgCAqc4kzHLEIqjyE331PB3w85VyGnUBuD9NDWUBAXPUsrtP8ZynUr62K32d5Oj6cZHmjOGkusSYuYKHwlee5lw7OgQi_WhGMq5B7D2vZNF8e63CJOp2sw/s320/IMG_2404.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412498539608743218" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrM8Dy_xJP_MTxhBptdutonGVhwQ_mg9xTKj3YqeOBsYznacat8-E1y57ngLJb2P2loflFHyKfTg1zQMBhlv4rpAF3TBm3fPmPDNreApBFf3NxgGnCcokpcEAj1t9NC2Bwku61shD-yg/s1600-h/IMG_2406.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYrM8Dy_xJP_MTxhBptdutonGVhwQ_mg9xTKj3YqeOBsYznacat8-E1y57ngLJb2P2loflFHyKfTg1zQMBhlv4rpAF3TBm3fPmPDNreApBFf3NxgGnCcokpcEAj1t9NC2Bwku61shD-yg/s320/IMG_2406.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412499147458274482" border="0" /></a>Alex and his colorful snowman.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5y9_YVu2_8hru3fWyunVQyy657gL06waSrk0WYvis3BMatL36bGeh7iwwDc-sTgLevKpjfgcjKkAmlQedkVs5ud968uTd6r63wXVvxvZ0JOQsS8Y_Nq_GmgbqDEJ7om8j1HrIqzEM1Qg/s1600-h/IMG_2409.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5y9_YVu2_8hru3fWyunVQyy657gL06waSrk0WYvis3BMatL36bGeh7iwwDc-sTgLevKpjfgcjKkAmlQedkVs5ud968uTd6r63wXVvxvZ0JOQsS8Y_Nq_GmgbqDEJ7om8j1HrIqzEM1Qg/s400/IMG_2409.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412499541635520514" border="0" /> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWKKnmuwHM7lrOo14ruqGwG2gOHlo_1lrBNK8XjxEpV-8AyoLq-SO2KZ1ZiWqbDGPZLc2iW13eZWJY-36lOUrke26RggJtSLwhtAQ4rbNdmFcJ9zE1xmsHtDZoz9shyphenhyphenz4bvgjoGzVeTfY/s1600-h/IMG_2412.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWKKnmuwHM7lrOo14ruqGwG2gOHlo_1lrBNK8XjxEpV-8AyoLq-SO2KZ1ZiWqbDGPZLc2iW13eZWJY-36lOUrke26RggJtSLwhtAQ4rbNdmFcJ9zE1xmsHtDZoz9shyphenhyphenz4bvgjoGzVeTfY/s320/IMG_2412.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412500031930872338" border="0" /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Maria was afraid of Santa so Jake and Alex sat on his lap.</span></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdU9YMziv6OX98mL94dmqLU9D2AVdUB4EEwAP3XuJNmcen6TE5m41jmpe5EfdXxuza-lBK-2730kqYkvpkGcHkQ_-QQAYAKJtBKp-ACmqE79LTemZz4bZ6YJj3pnE3vPWDVvjQX1S6afY/s1600-h/IMG_2418.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdU9YMziv6OX98mL94dmqLU9D2AVdUB4EEwAP3XuJNmcen6TE5m41jmpe5EfdXxuza-lBK-2730kqYkvpkGcHkQ_-QQAYAKJtBKp-ACmqE79LTemZz4bZ6YJj3pnE3vPWDVvjQX1S6afY/s400/IMG_2418.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412501016464493570" border="0" /></a>The kids love to read books, so here they are in Toys R Us just sittingin the middle of an aisle reading books!!!
