staycation

This weekend the hubby and I had a staycation at home. We decided to save some money and instead of having s vacation where we would have to spend money we decided to stay home and vacation there.

We slept in, we cooked at home, we went to the pool, we ate yummy food, took naps, and watched movies!

Best staycation we could have had.

somethings are great and somethings are not

Some great things!
Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of celebrating a friends graduation from a masters degree program! I am so proud of her and so happy to be able to celebrate her graduation and her engagement!
My lovely friend had food I am obsessed with right now: pizza & del taco. Yes they are some of the pregnancy foods I am truly obsessed with. Thankfully they have been nice to me and not packed on extra pounds through this pregnancy.

Saturday night we went to my favorite restaurant for my birthday dinner. I had a great time with my friends and family! I think it was one of my funnest birthdays I have ever had there (which is hard to do being that I have been going to this restaurant since I was 3 years old.) Friends that I don't always get to see were there which made me so happy!

Some not so great things.
I haven't slept in two nights due to a jaw problem I have. This has been something I have suffered with for a long time but thought I had the pain under control. I haven't had this much pain in over 5 years. I woke up crying because it hurt so bad and only went to work for two hours today. I luckily was able to get a little nap in today but am still exhausted.

Something great!
It's my birthday tomorrow!

Something that's cute!
My cat is obsessed with me the more pregnant I get. He won't leave me alone and when I'm home he lays so close to me he is touching me. It's so silly. I feel like he knows something is coming but doesn't know what it is yet.  Poor guy has no idea whats coming.

It's May!

Hello friends!

Baby news:

I am 23 weeks pregnant! 

We made our baby registry this weekend! HOLLY COW it took 4EVER! I think we were at the store for four hours! We even had to take a break for lunch because mommy and baby were getting very hungry and didn't want to bite daddys head off lol! By the end of our adventure our feet hurt and we were very very tired! We vegged out the rest of the day and forgot to eat dinner because we went to the hot tub instead so I ended up making pancakes at 10:30 at night. They were very yummy!

My cat is obsessed over the baby clothes! Its driving me crazy! He knows he cant be near them so any chance he gets he tries his little heart out! UGH!

In other baby news I thought I had finally picked out the baby bedding! I was so happy with the design I had made. It would have been custom bedding and so sweet but reality hit and I decided that a baby does not need bedding that costs $500 that will be puked, peed, and pooped on by my precious bundle of joy. So reluctantly I made a decision with my hubby while making our registry to go with a very cute monkey theme.

Yesterday May 2nd was our 2nd anniversary!
I was the perfect anniversary! We had a very yummy dinner. After dinner my hubby took me to a place called the top of the world. For people in the So Cal area its an amazing site! When we got to the top of the world you (which is the top of a mountain) you can see the whole valley on one side and then on the other side the ocean! It's SO amazing! It was a gift that was truly priceless! After taking my breath away my hubby found my favorite frozen yogurt! We had the best and most amazing anniversary!

The pictures I have do not do the top of the world justice. They are from my iphone.

obsession

I must say I am truly obsessed with etsy.

I didn't know they had such cute stuff for little boys on there! There are a few things I want but am gonna wait to get until I get closer to having baby Haney.

Only 5 more days until my 2nd wedding anniversary! I married the love of my life on May 2nd and now we are having a precious little baby boy!

Happy Tuesday!

Everybody in my office is gone at a conference. I am literally the only one for our company here right now. A nice little change :)

I would first like to say Happy Birthday to my Big Sis Robyn! 

I am in an really good mood today! 

We are approaching Christmas! I can't help but think of the waking up Christmas morning at my mom's house with beautiful decorations and a huge tree. My mom would always make it extra special. I remember there being Santa foot prints from the ash from our fireplace. She always knew how to make things special. 

For some reason this year I keep thinking of her house. It was the house I grew up in. The house I loved. The house I would want for my kids to grow up in. I will always have pictures of that amazing house in my mind. My moms house is gone now and in its place a new home with new memories. It almost makes me less sad knowing nobody else can be in my house (selfish but after my moms passing there are some things I get to be selfish about).  I will find some pictures of my moms house to share with you soon!

On that note, Matt and I have to find a new place to rent. Such a bummer but we can't deal with the condition our place is in any more. Our landlord refuses to fix anything and it has been over a year. So we are on the look out for new places that won't break the bank! If you have good websites to find rentals please let me know! 

Happy Tuesday! May god bless you today!
