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.
