Christmas

Hey,

Haven't posted in over a month! Haven't had a lot to write about :) Tukker is doing great, Work is going awesome and every thing else is fine as well. Christmas was a lot of fun. It was nice seeing every one and Tukker loved all of her gifts. Despite the cold that took over my house we all had a great time and really enjoyed the Holiday. I am excited for new years! New Years is my favorite Holiday by far! I love it. I will post some pics of my Christmas up tomorrow or so :) Love you all.

Going and Going

SO nothing new is really going on these days lol I haven't written because I don't have much to write about. Work is going great. I am really enjoying it every day. Tukker is getting so big. She is walking like a pro. I would say she walks about 85 percent of the time now. still crawls every once in a while when she is really grumpy or something. I am getting really excited about the holidays. I am ready to start decorating for christmas. :)

DISCOVER!

So I talked before about wanting to get a full time job and keep one of my part time jobs... I had my first day at Discover Card yesterday where I started my full time job that I now hope lasts a long long time! IT is such a great company for benefits and career opportunities and tuition reimbursement and so on and so on. I was excited to get back into the call center situation because I knew I would feel comfortable and be able to succeed in that situation but this call center is far better than my expectations that I had set from experience at other call centers. I am so so excited to be some where that will benefit me and my growing family so much and I can secure a position for a few years while I finish school. If any one was wondering, Pier one is the part time position that I gave up for this new position. I am staying at Carters part time one or two days a week mostly for the discount but also for the little extra money.

I can't believe it's almost winter!

Its really cooling down outside lately. I keep bundling up my baby before we leave the house and I am still shocked when I walk out side and it is FREEZING! I can't wait to decorate for Christmas but unfortunately I have two more holidays to get through first :( Halloween will be fun and then thanksgiving will be Delicious! Christmas is just the cherry on top.
There is a super sweet deal on a condo that I want to take advantage of but I am feeling the effects of being to nice and lending out my credit. But the up side is that I learned my lesson and in a year the loans I signed on will be paid off and my debt to income will be much prettier. I have worked my butt off to keep my credit as nice as I can and that will pay off when I go for the next big opportunity! Lets just hope that I can make my next year much more stable than last year in work, love, money , and life in general lol I am sick of the sporadic Heather and its time to turn over a new leaf! :) Just gotta figure out which leaf to turn...

ITs a boy!

Sorry I haven't posted about it yet lol. I don't have Internet right now and I am not at a place where I can use it all that often. But....Its a boy! Baby Maveryk is on the way. We will meet him in late march :)
I am completely done moving and Tukker and I love it. We spend a lot of time at home and she loves going up and down the stairs all day :) All of the rooms are unpacked and put together except for maveryks room which is currently the "extra" room so it has a few unpacked boxes and this and that type stuff lol. I am getting to it a little each day though. Before long it will be a cute little blue and brown nursery!

One day down!

Well I got a whole day of moving in. It has been long and strenuous lol I got all of my kitchen moved and my bed and another load of random stuff. I still have a lot but it is mostly small lighter stuff so it should go rather quickly. I am hoping to be done by mid day tomorrow! I am sure T will be excited to finish up. She hates being strapped in the car all day long.

I love this song

I have added a few new songs to my playlist. One of them is Taylor Swifts new song "love story" She has the sweetest most innocent songs and I love that :) Here are the lyrics for any one who hasn't heard it...

"We were both young when I first saw you

I closed my eyes and the flashback starts

I'm standing there On a balcony

in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns

I see you make your way through the crowd

And say hello

Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you, please don't go

And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

So, I sneak out to the garden to see you

We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh

Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter

And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"

But you were everything to me

I was begging you, please don't go

And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me They try to tell me how to feel

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story

Baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you is fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said

Romeo, save me I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you, but you never come

Is this in my head I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad Go pick out a white dress

It's a love story Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh '

Cause we were both young when I first saw you "

...Cute Cute Cute

FRIDAY!!!

Sorry mom you are stuck with Kayleigh and the girls for a few more days! :) I was informed today by my soon to be landlord that my new place would be freshly painted and ready to move into by Friday not Wednesday like I was previously planning. I am still very excited and this actually gives me a few extra days to get every thing packed up nice and organised so it will be a smooth easy move. I had a WIC appointment today and found out that while my walking talking toddler is perfectly in the 50th percentile for her height and weight she has a terribly low amount of Iron in her blood. They want children her age to be at about 11.3 and she is only at 8.7. I have no idea what those numbers mean but I know that hers is far to low and I have to get it up! SO I spent an hour in a small room with a nutritionist talking about how I can get it up quickly then keep it there from here on out. I was rather disappointed because I have always been pretty dang good at being sure she was fed right and stayed on a healthy diet. The lady said it is wonderful that she has plenty of fruit and veggies every day. She has juice and milk to drink never punch or koolaid or anything unhealthy. She eats three meals a day and has two snacks she takes two naps a day and gets some outside time. I brush her teeth at least once a day and she only goes to be with water in her cup so sugar won't be sitting on those clean white teeth :) Apparently all the calcium that she gets with how much milk she drinks is competing with the very little Iron that she gets. Some how with all the fruits and veggies I seemed to have overlooked meat and beans and grains. All the things from that section of the food chart. ooops. So from here on out lots of protein and iron for the miss and a tad bit less milk :)

Ah its been awile.

I have not written in a while mostly because I have had so much going on that it would take all day to keep up to date on my posts. I am working two jobs. For once I actually like them both alot! I like the people I work with. I like the hours and I like the job itself. I am moving one week from today and I am excited for the new adventure of a new apartment. My baby is huge and learning so much. i have so much fun playing with her and watching her learn new tricks. I am starting to actually feel pregnant. Past up 13 weeks already and I have a feeling it will fly by just because I am not ready! lol But I am sure I will be ready when I have to be because that's what we do in this life. I had a professor that always said "Life is what happens while your making your plans." I also read a quote that said, " Wanna make god laugh?... Tell him your plan" I have shown myself time and time again that even though I am obsessed with planning and feeling in control. My plans NEVER work out the way I want. And most of the time its due to me changing my mind. My life is a wild ride but I don't care. So far through the hurt and pain and plans changing and not being able to make up my mind I have still managed to maintain a life that I really do enjoy even if I don't realize that every day. I love my family with all of there craziness, I love my child and child to be. I love my friends and those close to me who hurt me and help me back up. I am ok with the fact that I am not in school right now because truly I don't know what I really want to study after all this time. I love school way to much to not go back and I am certain that in the future when I am more sturdy on my feet and confident with my decisions I will choose to go back and study some thing that will lead me to a great career as my children get older. I feel really good right now. Good with my situation and my choices, good and bad ones, I feel great about my future and my family and I am happy to be living through these rough times. The hardest times are what make you truly appreciate the good ones.

Sooo.....

Well for those of you who have not heard, number two is now under construction. Frank and I called off the engagement shortly after I found out that I was pregnant and knew that it was not his. While we were separated I was comforted by a familiar friend and now David and I will be parents x Two! Yeah I know I know CRAZY! We all take twists and turns in this life right? This is just another one of mine :) I have gone through the lectures and the crying and all that so now I have chosen to move on to the more fun part of this whole process and be EXCITED! T is going to be a big sister and a great one. So there you all go get the word out there is another little one joining the heard in March!

I DID IT!!!

That goes for a few things! Number one: I woke up this morning at Eight and went for a two mile walk that was terribly painful because I have an injured foot but I did it anyway and I feel great! I am going again tonight. I also got a job! After a third interview yesterday with teleperformance I got the job and filled out my paperwork. I am pretty excited! I start Monday. :) So this morning David met me at the track to walk. If I haven't mentioned it on here before he has been helping get Frank motivated and get into shape before he leaves. It has been really nice and I think it is really good for the relationship between all of us. We are all going to be a family before to long so better get over the awkwardness sooner rather than later:) He isn't perfect but he sure has been doing better lately. While his best can be disappointing at times I really think he tries to do his best when ever he can. He loves that baby girl and really wants to be a good friend to me. I think that is in big thanks to the example that my four awesome parents set for me and all my siblings :) Love you guys!

Gotta get the ball rollin...

So as you all know, I have been incredibly lazy the last few weeks. I planned to take one week off and then return to the working world but that some how turned into three weeks lol. I missed an interview yesterday at teleporformance and I am almost certain I would have gotten the job so I was kinda bummed out. I got a call from them this morning appoligizing to ME that I wasn't able to make it and asking if I would like to reschedule lol Wow they must really need people. So I made another interview for 3:30 today. We will see how that goes. I think I will get it and start on monday or so. Thats mostly my life this week. I finally decided to get my butt in gear and clean out all of the clothes in my room that I don't actually wear anymore. I am going to have a yard sell on saturday with Kay and Brad and Frank so if any one else wants to join in let me know. Were going to do it here at my house since my yard is on the main road and all. Should be fun.

All sworn in

So Frank is officially in the military. He got sworn in yesterday and recieved all of his gear and every thing. The beginning of a whole new thing for him. He is excited and I think it will be great for him. He found out that he doesn't leave till November fourth witch kinda sucks for us. He will just barely miss his parents returning from their mission and he will be gone for the holidays (except Halloween and that's his fav!) He will be home around the end of April from what we have calculated but there is no telling for sure. We will just have to wait and see :) Wish him luck!

Playing super mom!

SO while Kenz is in surgery I have been staying at moms and taking care of the kids. Its just Emily, Jaxon, Tukker and I and Crystal comes and goes. We are having fun. It has not been to bad. other than some nap trouble and some grumpy baby times. We have just been eating and sleeping and bathing and playing lots and lots. I am getting a little glimps of how life will be some day with multipul kids :) Im surviving and I hear kenz is doing very well too! All is good.

A whole week at home :)

So I have been sitting around my very clean house for a week now and loving every minute of it. I see T 10 times more than when I am working. I actually have time to keep my house clean and I take a nap just about every day lol. It is great. I am going to begin actually looking for a job on Tuesday and ill have to say a sad but temporary good bye to the house wife life. :)

Ahhhh sweet unemployment :)

LOL well I have not written in some time as all of you can see. I started to get a lot of things to update then I just didn't want to do it. I'm lazy what can I say. :) I quit my job because I was sick of them treating me like CRAP. It felt amazing to completely screw Kerin over haha. I am getting Married! I can't believe that one myself. Before the marriage though, Frank will be leaving for nine whole months to Georgia for Training with the Guard. I figure it will be my finale test to see if I am cut out to be a military wife :) Should be fine. We announced out engagement to his parents via phone yesterday and now every one in our families officially knows. You should have seen how nervous he was to tell them hehe. They were very very excited and his mom said she has been praying that they would be coming home form there mission to a wedding. I guess her prayers were answered. Well this is day two of my unemployment so I better get to work on some job hunting. I will keep yall posted. Only six or seven months and I will officially be out of debt completely and be a SAHM with my sisters and mom woo Hoo! Can't wait!

Blessing My baby

We had A.J. and Tukker Blessed today. We did a private blessing at Brad's parents house and it was very nice. I liked not having to sit through a whloe day of church to do the blessing and it was comfortable to know every one there. I got lots of pics so I will post a few up here :)

Photography

I took some maternity pics for Brianna yesterday. I sent them to be printed today. They turned out so great! I am really excited to see them printed. I forgot how much I love photography!

Fun Summer :)

This has been a really good summer so far. I feel like I am always busy and never stop but at least some of that is fun summer stuff with T :)We went to the Zoo today. It was awesome. Frank and T and I went and met Brad and Kay and the girls there. We ate lunch and walked around to see the animals. I have not been there in a long time and it was much better than I remember. I had a lot of fun watching Tukker get all excited about the elephants and monkeys. We ended up leaving early becuse some one desparatly needed a nap..... ok ok a couple some ones needed naps lol. Caydance and Tukker kept holding hands when ever the strollwers were next to eachother. It was to cute. We bought a season pass so we will have to go up more often for sure!

Monday

I am going to the Grand Canyon! Woo Hoo. Frank and a group of his friends and family are going to the Grand Canyon the 5-8th of august and I am going with! It will be so fun to go some where new :) I went on a walk with T this morning to the grocery store to get some milk. The weather was really nice today and yesterday. Not to hot at all. I liked it. We were going to go to the Zoo yesterday but didn't. We should have and probably would have if I had known it was going to be so nice. Dad is in the hospital again with a new broken leg. He is supposed to be home today and then going in later this week for another operation. I want to go visit but he doesn't want visiters quite yet so I have to wait :(

Ah the weekend is over.

It was such a good weekend. I love the fourth of July and I had a lot of fun taking T to see fireworks. I got a sewing table and finally set up the sewing machine that I got for my birthday almost a month ago lol. Now all I have to do is learn how to use it and I will be on a roll! I goit my house cleaned up a lot to. It was getting pretty messy. I usually keep things pretty tidy so it was not like me to have such a messy place. Finally got the time and energy to tidy it back up so now I feel at home again lol :) I am going to head to bed. I will probably write again in the morning before I go to work tomorrow. love ya

Its been awhile!

I have been working so much I haven't gotten the chance to write at all. But now it is 11:46 p.m. I just got home from watching fireworks with T and Caydance. I am so dead tired but it occured to me that I now is the perfect opertunity to write! SO here I am :) I am so excited the AJ is here! She is so sweet and I am thrilled to have a third beautiful Niece and my first Goddaughter. The evening after she was born I got robbed at work. I am so sick of all the crap at that store. It will be a relief when I can move to a different store and actually get to work with out a gun being pointed in my face. We did all the math and figured that we get robbed on an average of once every 12.85 days. The chance that a employee will be robbed with in there first month is like thirty percent or some thing. It just doesn't make sense to me. Why subway? Is jail worth the 25-170 bucks you are going to get from our little store? Why not go all the way and hit a gas station or bank or hotel or some thing that will have a little more cash on hand than us? lol What ever.
It is finally the weekend and I get to play with my girl for the next two days. I went to taylorsville dayz the last two nights to watch shows and fireworks. I loved it both nights it was so fun. they had a beatles cover band the first night. ( Awesome) and tonight they had a Niel Diamond wanna be and he wasn't bad either. I might go to the toelle art festival tomorrow, If so ill let you know how it goes. Nigh night. I am falling asleep while I am typing lol

Saturday Night 10:49 PM

I feel like writing but I don't have much to talk about today. This morning I opened. It was a very nice change from closing like I normally do :) I got to go in to the store and open up and then leave it for some one else lol I love opening. I used to open every day and I can't wait to get back to that schedule so I can have a life again. Dad got T's crib today. It is so so beautiful. I got to see it when I got home from work all set up in her room and I just absolutely love it. It is darker wood and it curves a little instead of the normal straight sides. I am going to post a picture here for you guys to see. He bought bedding to and its super cute but doesn't really match the room so I am going to visit the store and see if they will let me exchange it for another set that will match better. :) I am so so thankful to dad. This will be mine and T's birthday and Christmas presents this year lol He shouldn't have spent as much as he did so I totally owe him. I feel like I owe every one lol I get so much help and I cant thank every one enough. Couldn't do it with out all this support (as much as I like to think I could lol)
T and I went to see the new Adam Sandler movie, "Don't mess with the Zohan" It was really funny. She is finally to that age where she wont sit still or fall asleep for the movie anymore. She just keeps talking and laughing and trying to climb down to play on the nasty nasty floor lol. I guess its no more movies for mommy for a while. Thats ok though :) She is doing the funniest new crawl now where she is half walking half crawling. She goes on her hands and feet instead of her hands and knees lol It is to funny. I can't wait to see every one at breakfast tomorrow and I am excited for dinner to. I am cooking! Woo Hoo I love family dinners!

It's almost the weekend FINALLY

Tukker got her new car seat! She is officially a big girl! I went down to the safe kids coalition and got her a new big girl car seat for almost no cost for me. She gets her new crib tomorrow and I will be taking pictures for sure to post here for all of you to see. :) I will be working tomorrow from 8 to 5 then coming home to prepare my delicious dish for the family dinner on Sunday!

There you go mom :)

Mom said my other song was depressing and it really is if you don't listen to the whole thing so I changed it :) Don't wanna seem depressed all the time. I am still trying to figure out how to get it to auto start when you open the blog but for now you will all still have to hit play. :) Sorry

T is growing so so fast!

My baby is getting so big. She is almost a year old now I can't hardly believe how fast it has gone by! I get sad thinking of all the things I must have missed this first year due to having to work as a single mom. It makes me sad but also proud. That baby loves me to death and my heart melts every time I walk in the room and see her beautifull face light up. We struggle and strive to get things figured out and do it right but when the day ends and I snuggle her up in her bed tight and see how happy and healthy she is I don't care one bit that I just worked a ten hour shift. We do so well and even when I am lonely or upset I know that it doesn't matter. I love being a mommy so so much and I wouldn't go back and change it for the world. Her first birthday is going to be awesome. I am enjoying watching her little white teeth come through and seeing her stumble around trying to walk like a big girl. She is so great and by far my best friend. Were a team and I couldn't ask for a better partner.

It's My Birthday!!! Yay 20!

Well its my birthday and its not so bad after all. I had a meeting this morning that was good and I work at two. I get to spend a few hours inbetween with my girl so im having a good day :) I feel happy to be 20 :) Not as old as I though it was back when I was like fifteen lol. I had a blast on our camping trip this weekend even though I accidentally ditched every one sunday morning ( sorry about that again) :> whoops. Work is getting better and better. I am having fun getting to know every one. I have not hung out with Noah who I mentioned before. at least not yet. I have been talking to another guy who I really like. I am certain it wont go anywhere because there are complications lol but He is a great guy and will hopefully turn out to be a good friend for a long time! I better get going so I can get ready for work and clean up my house :) Hope your all having a good day! HAppy happy third anniversary to Dad and Christy!

I am sooooo ready for this weekend!

I can't wait to get away! Work is getting so much better but I am still stressed out and ready for a break. I hate being away from Tukker all the time and I feel like I am always at work!!! But at least now work goes by quick and its a job that I like. That makes it a lot easier. I am not bringing T to the Gorge this weekend because its Fathers day weekend so I feel like I should let David keep her. It will be kinda nice to have a carefree weekend to just relax and take a break but I miss her so so so much every day I am afraid I will have a hard time having any fun with out her :) I will make it fun anyway. I am going to bring Steph with me and that will be nice. It is great having her home again from Oregon. I need her some times. She is a good out let for stress:) I got picked up by a customer at work who seems really nice not like a perv lol So I have been talking to him a little. I will keep you updated :) His name is Noah.

Swimming!

So I got my manager to change my schedule back so that I can go to the Gorge for my birthday and things seem to be looking up at work as well too! It works when you stand up for your self. To celebrate today Tukker and I went swimming and we had a blast! She loves floating around in her floaty. It was so much fun and she was so so cute :)

Trent to the rescue!! We'll I hope at least.

It was getting closer and closer to two o clock today when I need to be to work and i was starting to get anxious. My manager has officially gotten almost every employee there to hate me. I am completely incapable of learning any thing new under that kind of pressure and with her refusing to teach me so It has just been a total mess from day one. I decided that I can't stand going to work in that kind of condition so I called Trent and told him the situation being careful not to be to harsh about Kerin(manager) or any of the other employees. I just explained the situation and the things I was having a hard time with. He asked when I work and I told him at two so he went in at noon to have a talk with Kerin. I figure that now things will either get a lot better or a whole lot worse lol Depends how she responds to me going over her head and complaining...I might be in for a horrible week. We will see. She has already reversed my schedule so I am now forced to work on fathers day week and instead of going to the gorge and I also am now suddenly scheduled an all day shift on my birthday. Nice real Nice. but Heather is not going to complain! I am going to stand strong and not let her intimidate me! I will win this fight! mwa ha ha ;)

Getting a TINY bit better.

So I have decided that when you get sent in to a company to clean up the mess you are pretty much asking all the employees to hate you. They do... Every one under me is ready to slit my throat but every one over me is happy :) Thats all that matters to me. The boys who run the night crew don't seem to mind me much at all but all the girls that run the day crew can't stand the sight of me lol. It is rather funny really. They hate me and wanna make snide remarks but I'm practically there boss so they have to watch what they say to me . So things are looking up a little bit at work now :) Maybe these ninety days won't be as horrible as I first thought.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!

My first day back at work was a nightmare!! My manager is crazy. I have decided that I am going to tough it out and make it through the first ninety days with out complaining but it is going to be hell! So here is what happened. I went in scheduled from two to close yesterday. It was a fairly busy thursday but not to terrible. I realized after I got there that she had me closing with just one other employee named Lupe and he has only been there two days! So I have not closed in at least two years and he has only ever closed once or twice so far.(and he is very slow) We made it through the night busting our butts trying to get every thing done because we were so so behind. We were there an hour and a half after close (till 12:30) Trying to get this place cleaned up. I was exhausted and so was he. It was a million degrees in the store but we finally finished every thing on our closing list. I realized as I was leaving taht it was not a great close. I use to be a pro closer so I can admit this was not the best close I had ever done but I figures I had an excuse for it not being amaizing. She has to expect me to be a little rusty to start out. So finally I left and felt alright about the job I had done for my first day back......7:00 Am Day two: My manager Kerin calls me flipping out saying that this is the worst close she has seen in years. Swearing and yelling and totally ragging on me! I was pissed! I stayed calm and didn't get upset. I explained that she left me in a bad sittuation on a busy night with a brand new employee on my first day back. I told her that I want help and constructive critisism but I need her to not just yell at me. I am not going to learn anything fromm her yelling... AHHHHH So now I have to go back in today at three. I am going to have to work my ass off today to make it a freaking awesome close so that she wont be calling Trent (big boss) telling him it was a mistake bringing me in. I have to be Super heather the subway queen and live up to my rep lol Ill report back tomorrow.

Love ya

Heather

The Beach!!

Crystal and I went up to Pineview beach today with Ted :) And some friends. It was so much fun. the baby loved the warm weather and the water was nice. It was a tad bit cold still but warm enough for us to all play in. I really like this beach place and it is some where I wanna go out to more often for sure! Ill post some pics of the trip later love you all. Good night!

Grocery Shopping

So .....today I was hanging with kayleigh and we had to run some chores. We went to smiths and Caydance wanted Tukker to sit in the cart with her not up in the front seat by the handle. We put them down in the basket and they were so cute playing together just looked like big girls :) Then of course when they got bored they started fighting over stuff. What can you expect they are cousins :)

It's Friday!

Usually I am super excited for Friday but this week every day has been like a weekend home with my girl :) It has been so fun playing stay home mommy for a minute! Can't wait till I can stay home with her for good some day. I think I will see her more now that i am going back to Subway though.

...And Take one

Friends and Family,

Here is my new blog. I seem to have lost the password to my old one and it is rocket science to get it back so that one will remain outdated and we will start fresh here with a new one! I am excited to get all of us using these like mom so we can all stay up to date on the daily buzz. For me right now... I am not working but will start my new job (old job) on Thursday the fifth. I am having a blast being a short term stay home mom for the time being. I am currently not REALLY dating anyone. My baby is ten months old and finally crawling but still toothless. lol I am doing good and still trucking on :) Can't wait to hear some good stories.
