He loved Easter egg hunting! Even more after he realized chocolate was in the eggs! Talk about one happy baby bear. I will say this though after seeing everyone's posts with insane amounts of toys and what not in their children's Easter baskets. I almost felt bad for not filing his with more. Then realized it was the perfect amount for him! Socks, toy plane, sidewalk chalk, Thomas the Train color book with stickers, and a M&M Fan that hold the M&M's. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm not sure when parenting became all about the amounts of things you get your children, but at this rate I've lost the race. </div><div>I'm completely okay with it also! We've never gotten Julian's picture taken with the Easter Bunny or Santa. I don't think we will either. Not to sound like a parent that doesn't care, but it just seems a bit pointless to me. Those holidays shouldn't revolve around that. Or the amount of things you can buy. I see holidays as a time to spend with your family an actually enjoying that time together. </div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Enbhm37hiIw/U1VLNMFwMGI/AAAAAAAAAb0/D3w0rvHILxU/s640/blogger-image--761524684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Enbhm37hiIw/U1VLNMFwMGI/AAAAAAAAAb0/D3w0rvHILxU/s640/blogger-image--761524684.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Also moments like this are my favorite to catch.

It popped open and leaked cheesy goodness all over my microwave tray) Then peel away the plastic cover and mix up the Mac & Cheese! Put the cover back down and microwave for four more minutes!

In the end I need to put myself and the needs of my family first, so I feel like I can't go wrong with whatever choice I do end up making</div><div><br></div><div>So for me personally 2014 will be about striving harder to get things done in order to meet the needs of my families future! </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7if1JvuWIlY/UsTkaC7ng5I/AAAAAAAAAYE/GZZ8DlpGstk/s640/blogger-image--502434646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7if1JvuWIlY/UsTkaC7ng5I/AAAAAAAAAYE/GZZ8DlpGstk/s640/blogger-image--502434646.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">What are you striving for in 2014?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">~<i>Alyssa </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i>Happy New Year!

It seems I have fallen asleep at the wheel of life lately. I realize it has been almost a year since I graduated massage therapy school and still I have yet to retake my mBlex test. Where did my passion and fire for this go? I am planning to retake it again in February hopefully that isn't putting it off to much longer. That way its after the holiday seasons and a birthday present to myself! Time has just gotten away from me lately it feels like I can't get anything done in a timely manner. I need to just start staying up till 10pm every night studying with my practice tests. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you have any tips for studying? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Also I forgot to post my Thanksgiving post and lost it, but how was everyones Thanksgiving feasts with family? We had a really nice one at Eddie's Aunts house and then my grandmothers house!<br />

<br />
I'm so thankful for my little family~! <3<br />
<br />
Once again I apologize for dropping the ball and not posting my Thanksgiving post. Now its almost Christmas and I am wrapping some presents. Maybe this is why I'm not a big time mommy blogger. ;) Though I do love blogging, so even if its here and there. I will still stick to it! I promise the next post will be sooner than the new year!<br />

My great grandmother (Mary) passed away a week ago and I took off work all last week for the funeral. My great grandmother was 90yrs old and I would like to think she lived a fulfilling life. I am thankful she got to meet Julian and that she was in my life. She taught me how to crochet, ride a tractor, make peanut brittle, not be a city girl, have faith, be strong and never give up! I love and miss you Granny! <div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bXZulwxw3gk/UnBy6oPdTxI/AAAAAAAAAVM/JkUUxtBE68g/s640/blogger-image--1783175992.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bXZulwxw3gk/UnBy6oPdTxI/AAAAAAAAAVM/JkUUxtBE68g/s640/blogger-image--1783175992.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-N0UL2rmA34g/UnByo2ClfFI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Da7_yZTQgnc/s640/blogger-image-1119053061.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-N0UL2rmA34g/UnByo2ClfFI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Da7_yZTQgnc/s640/blogger-image-1119053061.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TBCte1RyRVc/UnBzCDLCt4I/AAAAAAAAAVU/abVWzsZy-ok/s640/blogger-image--1482281600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TBCte1RyRVc/UnBzCDLCt4I/AAAAAAAAAVU/abVWzsZy-ok/s640/blogger-image--1482281600.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I also had MommyCon this weekend.

I buy all video gaming consoles for the sole purpose of playing the new zelda games they come out with. So it should come as no surprise I am making Julian's Halloween costume to be Link and I am going to be Zelda!

I know she is in a better place and I am happy knowing that. Unfortunately, I am left with a sense of anger towards myself for not visiting her more often. I didn't realize until this elderly gentleman fell in front of the coffee shop yesterday, how much it upset me she passed away. I called the ambulance as he stayed laying on the ground. It seriously scared the hell out of me and made me think about my grandparents. My grandfather also was in the hospital last week because of irregular heart rhythms. He is doing okay now, but had they not caught it in time. He might have suffered a heart attack or blood clot.<br>
<br>
Moments in life are scary sometimes and I am a very emotional person. Which is funny since I hate crying! <br>
<br>
Anyways, I didn't mean to be such a debbie downer today in my post, but I had to get it out. On the brighter side of life. I am scheduling to retake my mBlex test which will make me a LMT! The only problem it costs $195 to take the test, so I am hoping I do not fail it again. I like to think things happen at the time they do for a reason. Hopefully waiting will be worth it.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GnELEjKgNRc/UjiXKHDGmSI/AAAAAAAAARo/XYSJdmidid8/s640/blogger-image-206279594.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GnELEjKgNRc/UjiXKHDGmSI/AAAAAAAAARo/XYSJdmidid8/s640/blogger-image-206279594.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This little baby bear makes coming home from work and life worth it!

I was in the backseat of my mothers 'toy truck', as we called it, on our way to school. Once we got to school we watched the news coverage in every class that day. Everyone around the world was in shock and I can't blame them. Now that I am older and a mother I understand how devastating the events from that day truly were and still are today. I didn't know anyone involved in the terrible tragedy and I can't even imagine what it was like. My deepest condolences are alway with the families who lost loved ones.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6moxvJnhXNI/UjEsPvWJfpI/AAAAAAAAARU/qUSlGWsiff4/s640/blogger-image--1067348702.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6moxvJnhXNI/UjEsPvWJfpI/AAAAAAAAARU/qUSlGWsiff4/s640/blogger-image--1067348702.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JKaZhFIuzDA/UjEsN2E-OgI/AAAAAAAAARM/PPqk7tYhnag/s640/blogger-image-1771852160.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JKaZhFIuzDA/UjEsN2E-OgI/AAAAAAAAARM/PPqk7tYhnag/s640/blogger-image-1771852160.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">These pictures are pictures I took back in 2006-2007 my senior year of high school.

I've also entered into a #FreixenetFriday photo contest. I was going for a girls night out since those for me are few and far between. I am trying to win the grand prize, so I can post better quality pictures on the blog. I'd greatly appreciate any an all votes. If you have a moment please vote and share! <a href="http://bit.ly/16MRZPd" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/16MRZPd</a><span style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: '.Helvetica NeueUI'; font-size: 15px;"> This link should send you straight to my entry. If it goes back to your Facebook homepage it's because you are outside the USA or under 21. I am in the lead so far, but it ends in a month. </span><br />

I apologize for not being more active, but Julian has started walking. Yes, walking! Running around after him takes up a majority of my time after work. I've been working pretty much every day except Sundays and I've been requesting Saturdays off also. My shifts usually run from 6:30am-2pm which isn't to bad. Unless I stay up late like now and can't sleep! I've also been thinking about job hunting for a new job with higher pay and closer to home. Insurance would be nice also. Anyways, just a brief late night rant and update about the lack of posting. I appreciate you sticking around. <div><br></div><div>~<i>Alyssa</i><br><div><br></div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-C6ilDgWq5x0/UedhOWEYz3I/AAAAAAAAAMw/7sVu9NwGL3k/s640/blogger-image--1757994911.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-C6ilDgWq5x0/UedhOWEYz3I/AAAAAAAAAMw/7sVu9NwGL3k/s640/blogger-image--1757994911.jpg"></a></div><br></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02613471711480572509noreply@blogger.com0
