Bunko Night was Monday night:
It was a fun time...and I hosted it at The Holgate's home since we don't have enough space to accomodate 12 adults! Um...I'm pretty sure that I drank WAY too much wine! That's never a good thing when you have to call your husband over and you only have ONE Car, and you drove that car. Luckily Ryan Holgate and the kids were at our apartment and were able to bring Mark over. Supposedly Cristel asked me to go to Improv Drop in class and I said that I would...and Improv was on Wednesday night.
Improv Drop In Class...
Oh my goodness...I seriously almost Pooped My Pants when first arriving and seeing how many people were in attendance! There were at least 30 people there! I HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO EXPECT! I seriously was physically ill to my stomach! But, I made it through it and had SO much fun! I'm so glad that I went and that Cristel went with me. The teacher at the end of the night asked me to join one of her classes...too bad the classes are $150.00/an 8 week once a week class! But, I may go back to the monthly drop in class...we shall see!
Mark and I had a Night ALONE:
Our night alone consisted of driving around searching for a restaurant we both agreed on and then finally settling on Old Country Buffet! And since this restaurant is in the Mall we went to Target afterwards, where Mark and I separated and I went and Tried on at least 12 items...and the item limit is 6 at target! I didn't even buy anything except a gift for my Secret Sister at church! Then we came home and watched the WORST movie known to man...The Mist!! OH I HATE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!! What a fun evening...um, we need to get out more!
And then...Friday Night was Mom's Night Out with my Mom's Meetup Group:
And it was a fun, fun night! Previously in the day I went to search for an outfit or a shirt because recently I've noticed my wardrobe SUCKS! I wear the same old crap over and over again and I'm so bored with it. So, while in search of something to wear for the night...I found two great shirts and a really cool dress!!! Oh...but, I was Completely LATE for my Mom's night out...but, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one. We ate at a Mexican Restaurant and then went to Poppy's (spelling I'm not so sure about!) afterwards. And...I didn't even drink too much! YAY for that...and I had a wonderful time with the ladies! They are so much fun! This makes Starting this group even more worth while...I feel like I can be myself with these gals and not be judged! They are my rock!!!
And...Finally Today was Father's Day:
What a wonderful day it was, too! We went to church and Mark sang in the Worship Team. Then Paul gave a great message! After church we came home and I frantically fixed two pans of food for we are going on a Picnic! We got there late, of course...but...we spent the whole day with friends...great friends! Funny story...Sarah in our Mom's group is married to someone Mark works with. We got together today and had a BBQ at Lake Padden! It was so much fun...and I'm pretty sure I haven't had this much sun is a REALLY long time!!! We had Steak, Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Pea Salad, Chips and Salsa, and Banana Split Cake! Quite the spread! And we were out there from 2:45p-8:30pm and it was sunny when we left! Ryan and his kiddos were there, too and seemed to have a pretty fun time. And then Paul stopped by, too and had a great time, too! Sarah and her family said that they may come to church sometime! And...that would give us all the more reason to get this Small group started for 30-40's Married Couples! We've been talking about it now for some time and I think it's TIME to get it going!
Anyhow...that's my randomness for this week! Enjoy!

WOW...last post was April 15th...
I need to UPDATE...
#1: Samuel and I visited IL in May.
We flew to Illinois May 1st. The flight was GRAND! Samuel had a few minor little problems...but, overall did very well! Our trip was really fun. We got to spend lots and lots of time with Family, and I even got a few nights out with friends...which, was great! However, I didn't get much time by myself. This was supposed to be a "Vacation" of sorts...of which, was really not all that "Vacationish!!" But, don't get me wrong...I really did enjoy my time with my family. We have some great pics from the trip, too! I love pictures! Samuel and I recently even put him a little Family Picture book together so that he doesn't forget his family every time he goes back! OH...then the Flight back WAS HORRIBLE! Samuel screamed and cried the entire flight up until the very last 15 minutes where he finally decided to go to sleep! Then we land...and then I have to wake him up! UGH! But, luckily his sleep schedule wasn't off that bad due to the time change.
#2: Work!
I've decided to quit my job at the end of July. This decision comes from the fact that we don't pay for child care now, but the Beginning of August we will have to start paying for it. Our sitter now is our wonderful friend from church. They have two kiddo's themselves and they will start homeschooling in September, but their family will be visiting the whole month of August...which means that I will be resigning the end of July.
I will just tell you this much about my job: I really am burnt out anyway, so, it's really not that big of a deal to me that I will be resigning. I work with DD Adults advocating for them...but, if you've been in this industry for a while you tend to get a little frustrated, stressed and loose interest in it. And, as of right now, I've worked with this population of people for over 5 years. I'm tired of it and need a change. That's not to say that I don't still love this population of people. Eventually maybe I will get back into it again. But, as of July I am through for a while, unless for some reason my boss tries to talk me into to staying at least one day a week...then, even then, I would have to really think about it!
#3: Another future Baby:
So, yes...as I'm sure that you all know by now...Mark and I will be starting again soon to try for Baby #2. When I was in Illinois, I was able to obtain my Medical Records from the OB and the Hospital. That's a start in the process. We also have medical insurance now, too! That's another start. Now, we are still looking for a Dr. who will take me without already being pregnant. So, yes, we are working on it, but, first and foremost I want to be healthy! So, that means that I need to be checked out before getting pregnant. As many know, I have a Fibroid Tumor and the tumor grew (in my records it says it was 8cm in Diameter when I had Samuel) while I was pregnant. I was in and out of the hospital several times when pregnant with Samuel due to premature labor and could have lost Samuel. I even had to have a C-Section with him because the tumor was blocking Samuel from dropping like a normal pregnancy would allow for...it was that big.
So, for all of those who have been asking about when we will be having our second child...please stop! We are taking our time...we want to be thorough! We don't want to rush this. Another child will come along in God's timing. So, for the time being...we are enjoying our wonderful 20 month old Samuel! He walks, almost talks, and gets into EVERYTHING he's not supposed to!! He's our little miracle child! We do hope to have more...at least before Samuel turns 3...so, stop worrying about it...it will happen when God says it will happen!
#4: Last but, not Least: My Mom's Group:
Our Mom's Group is Going Tremendously well! I need to explain a little bit about it! The group is on Meetup.com...however, not just anyone can sign up for it. Whoever would like to know more info about it needs to click on the "Contact Organizer" link and ask to join...we will more than likely accept you into membership...as long as you either have children or grandchildren of whom you watch day to day. We ask that you post a picture of you and your child so that we know who to expect when we have events...instead of going into it blindly! There are some members who have recently been deleted from the group due to inactivity...so, please make sure that you stay an active part of the group! We don't want to delete you! We do charge $12/year! The fee is for the Meetup site itself, which is $72/6months. It's also for drinks, and paper products, and other supplies such as when we have recipe exhanges we hand out folders so that everyone has a place to put their favorite recipes! It also can cover the costs of any rentals that we may rent in the summer, such as pavilions and such!
I'm only explaining all of this because whoever, if anyone, reads this that is doesn't know me or anything about the group can go and find out. And...for those who do know that we have a group, but don't know much about it...they can also read and understand how it all works.
The group, as far as events go, is going great! We've been having a Weekly Playdate every Tuesday. We have in-home playdates at least once or twice a month. We also have a really Fun Mom's Night Out at least once a month. I've been having such a blast with this group and I'm really hoping that everyone else has, too!
Well...that's my update! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!!
Many Blessings to whoever reads this!
