Watch Out Now...Here's An Update!! Lol

Helllooooooo again!! Lol I'm horrible at this, but please bare with me...

So far this year is FLYING by! I'm not really sure how I feel about that. The summer heat is totally kicking my butt!! I told my husband that I don't think I've ever been so excited to go to work so that I can sit in a freezing office all day. =)

On the other hand, the faster the year goes...the faster I'll be able to see my Daddy and lil sibz this winter. We'll be meeting up with them in Vegas and then coming back home on a lil "stay-cation" just to catch up on life. I can't wait!! It's been almost 3 years since we've seen my Dad and ages long since we've seen my baby sister (never met my baby bruv yet). I'm sure we're all gonna have a blast!!

Life so far is going okay...work, family, church, holidays, etc...

We are expecting some new babies in our family soon (NOT from me though lol). My brother Chase & sister-in-law Davynna are due in November with a little baby boy; and my cousins Josh & Lini are also expecting a little baby boy...YESTERDAY (but still no luck yet). We're all just playing the good ol' waiting game. Yay for new babies to spoil =)

Me and my household are in the process of packing up our home...we finally made the decision to split our household up again. Therefore, we are moving from ONE 3-bedroom, 2-bath apt to TWO 2-bedroom, 1-bath apts. My husband and I have been thinking about it a lot in the past couple of weeks and we've come to the conclusion that we really need our own space again. It was really only 5 months after we moved out of my family's home and on our own that my Mom and 3 little siblings moved in with us. I LOVE having them with us, but after 2 years...I think it's time that things change for my husband and I. Now even though we'll be in separate apts, we're still going to be very close to each other (literally, neighbors). Which we absolutely DO NOT mind. As long as they have theirs and we have ours, everything is GOOD!! It was a hard decision to come to because in our culture, it is the oldest daughter's responsibility to take care of her parents. I even told my Mom that that was what I plan to do in the future, but for the time being when she still has 3 teenage kids with her and my husband and I not being able to experience the newlywed life on our own at all...that's what should be a priority in our lives first and then once we've taken care of all of that, then we can look forward to her staying with us again. I know she's kind of nervous about being on her own again, but we've made sure that she stays really close to us so that if or when she should need anything, we'll be right there for her. I was really scared and worried that once we brought up the idea of us moving into separate apts, she would feel neglected or abandoned...which is the last thing we wanted and if she was NOT okay with being on her own, we would not move forward with the plans and look for different options. But fortunately after some crying, laughing and story telling, she said it was fine. So here we are...PACKING! Not knowing when we're going to move because we're waiting for 2 apts to become available close to each other...is a pain in the muli. So I've decided to pack everything that we don't use or need, that way when we do find out a specific date, we can just call the movers and we'll be done. Finito. I'm so grateful to have my Mom so close to us...we LOVE her and her crazy spirit!!

Moving on...4th of July just passed. We were invited to a family/friends BBQ by Aunty Goober. I was really excited to go watch the firework show with my family because we usually spend this specific holiday with my in-laws. But this was a good change =) I'm glad we got to hang out at the park to laugh, eat, sing, eat, go to the carnival, eat and just enjoy each other's company...oh and EAT again. Lol the firework show was REALLY nice!! I miss watching a firework show like that. It was a whole 30-35 minutes long. We had a really great time and I'm glad my husband enjoyed himself as well.

So...I guess that's all for now. Hopefully I can keep up this time. My cousin Lini is gonna have to keep on me to update on here every so often, because she's really good at it. =) We'll shall see...but, until next time...LATERS!!  <----If you've ever read 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' you'll know where I got that from...(excellent book btw) ;)
