Life Satisfaction

So I started my new semester today at school. While in a class my teacher made the comment of "Well I hope 50 is not the age of life satisfaction." And it made me think well why the heck not. Why shouldn't we have 100% life satisfaction for today, for the moment, because life satisfaction is everywhere we look. I feel like although I am still going to school and still don't have my degree...and even if I am on the "Thick" side of being in shape...I am 100% satisfied with who I am, with my family, with life, and with my faith of what is going to happen after this life. I look around at the beauty of the earth and think why the heck not be satisfied. So think to yourself today am I 100% satisfied and if I am not what do I need to get there?

I love this Boy

I just have to say that I love this boy. Having a five year old is the BEST. Plus the other day I was upset about people not being to kind to me so I teared up. His response was "Sometimes kids are not nice to me and wont play with me at preschool...but I know when I come home you and Daddy love me...and Jesus loves me to....so just remember mom, me and Daddy love you and so does Jesus." Although Ryan keeps me on my feet I wouldn't trade this experience of being his mom for anything!

Beach Wahoos and my two Favorite People...YES PLEASE!!

So Last month me and the hubby and Ryan went down to the beach just to enjoy the weather and have some quality time together. We walked around, Ryan cruised on his scooter, we hit wahoos, and Ryan decided he would take a dip. It was such an amazing day..it makes me appreciate the little things in life like love, cheap fish tacos, and the beauty of the earth!

Currently LOVING....

This John Pail Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo, Conditioner, and body bar. Adam surprised me with the gift pack for Christmas and it smells SOOO good!

THE GREAT BAMBINO!

Ryan and I have deemed Thursday nights our new official "Movie Night". We have decided that each week we will take turns picking the movie...so this week was my pick and due to the fact that we just signed Ryan up for Little League (I am so excited for games, practice, grass stains, and Saturdays under the hot sun at a baseball diamond) I thought that "The Sandlot" would be the perfect choice...its a classic...we both giggled...and it was a ton of fun! The movie started to get Ryan excited to practice an be on a team. During our movie night Ryan revealed that he has a crush on Ms. Jennifer (one of his preschool teachers) she is very attractive...Ryan told me and I quote "she makes my heart on fire"....it was just last month all girls had cooties and then boom he is way interested in girls...what the??? So now we are going to have to watch him..and hopefully he will find a group of boys that can convince him that girls really DO have cooties!! In conclusion though Ryan gave Sandlot two thumbs up...and officially thinks he is the new "Benny Rodriguez"


Fun Factoid: The pool where the boys swim and Squints kissed Wendy Peffercorn is a pool in Ogden Utah where both my Mom and Dad swam as kids.

Friday Night

So Adam has been in medic school going on a month now...things are going really well....he is doing great on all his tests and quizzes, so far it has been positive...minus the fact that during the week Adam stays out at his Grandma's to be 5 minutes away from school and be able to study with limited distraction (meaning his Grandma coming in to feed him, ask him about his day, drag him to Sam's Club to help, or just to see how he is doing) I am praing and hopeful (I would like to say POSITIVE but I don't want to jinx myself) that he will pass this time with flying colors, with no last minute cardiac arrests. SO with that said, Adam came home this afternoon, he had roses for me, and a new model plane for him and Ryan to build it was so nice. We ate AMAZING sushi this evening at this little place in Norco...it is to DIE for...and now we are chilling out preparing to play some Xbox and movies. I really forget how nice it is to have him here to give me a break to Blog, do taxes, pay bills, organize, and not having to be the constant regulator.

In other news Adam just turned 23! For his birthday we ate at Lucille's, went to Super cross at Angles stadium (we had fun cheering on Chad Reed our favorite rider), had a fun birthday dinner with my family, and went to Disneyland to use Adams free gift card! Adam came and helped me out in the church Nursery and needless to say he was worn out by the end of church.

It Has Started

So after hanging out with my brother last night and discussing dieting, eating healthy, and exercising (not to mention our weight loss handshake/sign) I need to dedicate myself to really shedding off my extra "baby weight"...okay Ryan is five...so it is more like pink berry, sprinkles, high carb, and laziness weight...its time to be real with why I am very chubby. So at this point my goal is June 1st. I would like to lose one pound a week up until then. I feel that is very achieve able if I keep myself in the right mindset. I am going to join Weight Watchers again, run (I found a place that I can run and Ryan can bring his scooter or bike and come with me!) go to the gym and do weights three days a week, and try for a yoga class once a week. I am very excited to start. Not to mention Adam and me are having a contest who can look better and be healthier by the end of his Paramedic program. I am going to probably starting mystic tanning sporadically to make myself feel good (being tanner also makes me feel cuter), and I have even made a "rewards" chart for myself that ranges from small rewards to big rewards with the more weight I lose....its stuff that I would like (like new Joe's Jeans, a manicure and pedicure, a new bathing suit) to motivate me even more. I am very excited to start...and by June if you know anybody that wants my old very large CURVY fit Gap jeans that will be way to big for me hit me up!
