Five things that I could not live without!

Now, the obvious answers of my husband and children are not what I am going for here. Those are the abvious things I need everyday!  I am talking about actual things that I need everyday to survive being me! :)

1.  Facebook - yes I am a Facebook junkie!  It is the first thing I check when I wake up each morning!! I know - sad - but I am honest! 

2.  My iPhone. I live on my phone! It is my lifeline!!!

3.  My Keurig! I have to have that coffee - first thing!!

4.  XM Radio.  I hate commercials and love my music!!

5.  Diet Pepsi.  I should drink water. I don't.  I drink Diet Pepsi!





Interview with myself

I recently subscribed to a blog called MoscatoMom.  Now, it caught my attention, because I am a lover of Moscato! :)  She is great! Lots of great info, totally entertaining, and real!  She did an interview with herself and encouraged others to share!  Eh....why not! :)

■What advice would you give your 16 year old self?

I would tell myself to start an exercise regime and eat healthy and drink lots of water!! I would let myself know that your body will change, and not for the better, if you don't get a handle on it, and stay on it. I would tell her so she would take care of it and I wouldn't be dealing with weight issues now!

■If you had a plane ticket in your hand right now to go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I would go to Australia! That is one place I want to see before I die!

■What did you want to be when you grew up and did you follow your dreams?

No - I wanted to be a Child Psychologist. But, I love my job, the people I work with and the ability to have the flexibility to be a mom too!

■How many pets do you own?

We have two dogs - Lucy is a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and Mary Jane is a Chihuhua. (Yes, my teenage daughter had the Chihuahua before I did, and she named her.....poor dog!)



■What was your first car?

An 1986 S-10 Chevy Blazer that was horrible on gas, but fit a lot of people! Lots of fun!!!



TWO YEARS!!!

I cannot even believe that it has been 2 years since I have updated our Blog! There has been so much happening, and it would be nice to have it all documented in one spot! :)  Let me catch you all up!

We moved to Northern California last fall due to an amazing job offer I received with Lifestyle Lift in San Ramon, CA.  Needless to say, I do not love it here at all - except the weather and therefore we are actually in process of moving back to Arizona in 3 weeks! :)  Dave is not happy, as he loves it here, but he can see how unhappy we are, especially Spencer, and so we move!

To top it off, Haley has let us know that we will be grandparents in February! She is expecting a little one then! :)  The is already 13 weeks along! We are very excited! She and her boyfriend Brandon have been together about 2 years.

Madyson is a Jr this year and living in Queen Creek, AZ. She had moved with us here to Cali, but she hated it too, and so she moved back in February of this year.  Although she would like to move back to Fountain Hills with us, we think it better for her to not switch schools again.  She is dating a great guy named Mike and we love him! :)

Spencer turned 11 yesterday! 6th grader this year! WOW! Time flies! :(  Not ready for my last baby to be so old, but I guess there is not much I can do about it!  Spencer is a whiz on the computer! He loves to play Minecraft and sing! He got his mothers singing ability! :)

Dave is currently looking for a job in AZ~ He is doing well, healthy, and as always a great dad and husband.

I am happy to be going home! Arizona......here we come!
