Oh my WORD! LOVE!

It has been literally MONTHS since I've posted. I feel so bad.. I had to catch up on a lot of blog reading... It amazes me on how fast time flies. I do not even have kids BUT I see everyone else's children growing so fast I get scared! I am at UH.. It's pretty much official that I'm on the Junior/Senior level now and have 1 year left. THANK YOU JESUS!

The kids are growing like weeds! Abigail is 7 and in the 2nd grade. Emma is 5 and in kindergarten, Olivia is 4 and in pre-school, and Noah is 3 and enjoying some mommy time all by himself!

I love all my babies and every time I see them I smother them in kisses!

My sister Christine decided to make it offical (she likes to do things backwards) and she was married on July 16th, 2011, so even though I knew he was going to be my brother in law for about 7 years now, it is OFFICIAL! The weirdest thing is that her last name is not my last name anymore. I told her that she could NOT get married on July 4th because I've wanted that date for as long as I can remember. So it was a great celebration.


The biggest reason why it has been a little hard to come blog is because during this time I have been busy falling in love with the most amazing man I've ever met.

He loves God.
He loves his son.
He loves his family.
He is smart.
He treats me like a lady.
He respects me.
He is sweet.
He is nice.
He makes me laugh.
He makes me smile.
He has the greatest smile.
He knows how to make my coffee perfect.
He includes me in everything he does or wants to do.
His kisses are perfection.

So here we are:

AND THOSE EYES! GIRLS IF YOU HAVE KNOWN ME SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL THEN YOU KNOW THAT GREEN EYES ARE MY THING!

I'm pretty excited about this.
It feels natural.
It feels right.


Oh and I'm 30! EXCITING!

Spring...

April. I love this month. I love it because my grass is coming back to life, the trees are green, the weather is absoultely beautiful (I have had lunch outside everyday for the past 3 weeks), SPRING CLEANING, oh and I am getting excited about spending time in the pool this summer. Just a few things to catch up on.

School is stressful this semester. I do not think I have been challenged my whole college life as I have been this semester. Reason for the challenge? STATISTICS & PROBABILITY! I cannot WAIT until I have no more tests regarding z-scores; standard deviations, and all of these formulas that just..... frankly look the same. I tip my hat to you guys that love this subject. I am happy that I am taking it of course, but WOW I never thought YOU TUBE would help me with understanding SCHOOL before!

I have been working full time, but because I only have a year left of school, I am considering going part time. I've been blessed to consider the option of going part time due to having awesome supervisors, managers, and a director who have been there to help me out with my schedule. I just feel that my classes are getting a little too more involved and I want to finish strong! So hopefully, once I figure it all out everything will go as planned.

Nightmares? I have not had a nightmare since I do not know when, well until last week BUT before then I could not tell you. I had this dream where I was with my mom, and sisters and we dropped off my brother-in-law at his car. He was parked on some island looking parking lot. In my dream I had been there before but I remember thinking, 'Amy be careful'. I placed my truck in reverse to back out then I put it in drive. When I stepped on the gas, I went BACKWARDS and fell into the OCEAN! I tried to open my door because I knew the ocean was deep and could not wait to get to the bottom to open it smoothly, but I could not open my door because the weight of the water. I was SO scared about my mom and I woke up STARTLED. What is that about!!! Dad say it was stress. I just do not know. Nightmares? 29?

I had a co-worker pass away at work. He was someone that I saw three times a week, said Hi and Bye to, chatted with. Never talked to him outside of work, but was apart of my life in a way. It shook me up a little. I am not sure as to why, I feel as though God used this situation to remind me that the things that I think are important are not all that important. Living life, holding and loving your loved ones, and sharing and connecting with people in the world are important. Maybe I should be more proactive about getting to know people at work. I tend to talk to and hang out with the same people at work. Maybe God has blessed me with 200 + co workers to learn from and vice versa. So in closing, Raul, you will be missed.

We have a new addition to the family!!!

Snickers Leigh Lowry - adopted March 11, 2011


He is cute but a handful. He is currently in timeout due to eating a pair of flip flops. If you haven't noticed dogs are like kids in this family. :)

The kids are doing great! Happy to be outside...
