It has been over two years since I blogged...
So many things have happened in that two years. Jaiden is now 5 years old. I no longer work at ILB. I have lost over 70 pounds in my weight loss journey. We lost my grandma Liny in 2012. Dusty and I are no longer together. I now work in Redlands at ESRI. Jaiden attends Yucaipa Christian Preschool & loves it. I have the greatest friends in my life who have helped me every step of the way thru these dark two years.
I have so much to post and so much to catch up on...
Until later!!

I can't wait...
We have this great plan...
We are going to take down the pool table in the game room currently and put two 6 or 8 foot tables up to be my scrapbook area in a L shape. I am so excited. This means I can really organize everything and leave it set out all the time. Of course this means we have to really call the guy to take down the table and then set up my stuff but I can't wait. I am almost a year behind in scrapbooking again. I have done from 2007 up until May 2010 so I need to get back to doing it.
Also still in this room with be the gaming tv and gaming consoles which will mean Dusty and I will be together more kind of by default but that is ok...Right?
I know Jaiden is going to want to play in there while I am working on my stuff which I already have a plan for...I am going to set up a tray table like the ones you eat dinner on ya know and let him color with me and use his OWN stickers while I do my own stuff. I know I won't be able to spend a lot of time working on this at home but even if I get one page or even one layout done a week or even a month that is better than nothing.

It has been some time...
Well Jaiden is now THREE...Can you believe it? We can hardly believe it ourselves. We had his third birthday party here at the house last weekend and everything went great.
I am just getting over being sick as well as Jaiden. I think Dusty finally got our sickness and is dealing with that right now.
I am still working for ILB in Riverside and Dusty is still working for SCE.
He just accepted a new job title with them which he is to start at the end of the month so we shall see how that goes.
Christmas was great with family and friends. We got to spend Xmas eve with just my dad and brother and his Fiance - Yes he finally asked Kristina the big question and she said YES!! Then on Christmas day we had breakfast at our house and then went to Dustys moms house for dinner and gifts. It was a nice day all the way around.
Looking ahead we don't have much planned, with Dusty starting the new job we won't be able to take much time off at first which is fine we will just have weekend plans which is fine with us.

Huge Milestone
I am ten pounds lighter than when Dusty and I got married - I am so happy and excited. I have lost over 38 pounds since May 2010 and I have about 34 more to go to be back to healthy and happy but slow and steady wins the race!
Me yes me, Heather, LOVES to work out now - I hit the gym almost everyday of the work week and then on the weekends I walk/jog with Jaiden -
I love how I feel, I love how I look
and for my 25th birthday 10-1-10 Dusty and I are going on a cruise.

Thinking...
I have been thinking a lot lately about a lot of things...Sounds funny I know but that is one of the reasons I love this blog, I can get my thoughts out on paper (well at least in front of me sort of) and some how it always makes me feel better.
Jaiden is growing up WAY to fast. Now when I ask him to do something he tells me, "Mommy, just one minute." Yes it is cute but I am sure he really understands what that means because he wants to finish whatever he is doing and then we can go or do what we need to do. Very sad to see that he is almost 3 and growing up so much.
Work is work and of course there is not much right now with the way the economy is that I can do about that. I just have to come to realize that it takes more to be negative than it does to be positive, so I try and do my best and chuck my tired unhappy attitude at the door and get done what I need to get done during my 8 hours here at this desk.
Marriage is WORK. No one ever told me it was going to be easy so I never thought that; but it is a lot of work to remain calm in all parts of a marriage and a family. Marriage is everything I wanted it to be and more, I love Dusty with all of my heart and I am so glad we are together each and every day of our lives and if we go a day without seeing each other because of work or other things it just seems odd, but we are two different people and we do have some different views on things! Just workin thru it. We will make it, I am not worried just takes time.
Family - now that is a whole different subject. I love our family of 3. Do I want one day for it to be a family of 4 - YES I do - is it time right now, only God knows that and when it is His time it will be right. I love that Dusty and I have created such an amazing little guy in Jaiden. He does have parts of both of us that is for sure. I love to plan things for the three of us to do, along with other family or even alone. We are going camping this weekend with Dusty's sister and her family and I can not wait. Jaiden loves to be with his cousins. On the other side of that, I love to do things just the 3 of us. I know Jaiden loves to spend time with mommy and daddy.
Money - WOW where do I begin. I truly believe that it is the root of all evil. No matter what you do, you always NEED it for the most part. The only thing that is really free to do is breathe air. Even taking Jaiden to the park costs us gas to get there, ya know what I mean. We do the best we can with what we have and we will make it, I just hate that everything we need or want costs us money. And then of course there are the unexpected items that come up that you have to take care also.
Friends. That is something that I am so incredibly THANKFUL for. I would not ask for better friends. I have the most amazing best friend in the world. We talk almost every day and I would not change that for the world. I know that I can turn to her for anything. I am so thankful that God has given me the friends that I have in my life. At one point I never really knew why I was in the places I am until I made a friend or someone or something impacted my life and then it hit me, THIS is why God has me here. I have met great friends from work, which as you all know is a place I do not want to be. I am so thankful that God placed me in the building for this time in my life. It is amazing the people that have come in and out of my life just because of work. I know that the two friends I have in my life now because of work are amazing. We recently spent a weekend in Vegas together and it was such a great trip. No stress, no fighting, no arguing. Overall it was just a nice trip. I know that God will take care of me and the people that he brings in and out of my life and truly I am so blessed.
All in all I have nothing to complain about in my life. I love my family and my friends and I am SO thankful to have a job even if it is not one that I really care for at the present time in my life. I know like I said there is a reason I am here and even if I don't know why now, God does and that is all that matters.

Growing Up and Lives Changing
Growing up -
Just seeing those two words makes me realize it is so true - right in front of my eyes
Jaiden is two and half years old - I mean really where did the past two and a half years go?
He is walking and talking and making full sentences and asking questions and of course telling Daddy and I what to do.
I never would have imagined two and a half years ago even a year ago, Jaiden would be saying I miss you on the phone when I am working late or tell me to be happy not mad when I get upset about small things.
I love his innocence and the way he tells me how the world works in the mind of a two and half year old - it is great
Of course I don't remember being two and a half so I love seeing it all thru his eyes and thru his words.
I love when he asks us to build 'Big Castles" out of his Lego's and of course I love that he would be content to only eat cereal each and every day for all of his meals if I would let him - He gets excited over the smallest things and I love that - he loves to take his yummy vitamins each night and he loves to take a bath and get clean. He also loves Milk and Water - not really juice (every once in awhile).
I love that he is at a daycare that he enjoys being at each day, and I am so thankful for his daycare provider also.
Looking back over the past two and a half years, it has been great. I love being a mom more than anything else.
