LONG TIME...

HAPPY LATE 2010?! Haha..I know I haven't been on here for a couple of months now. Well, I probably logged in like one to two times, but just haven't blogged. Anyways, here is the capture of what's going on in my life at the moment.

The year started out just right. Aplaham has a full time job with BENEFITS now. He's getting fat checks every 2 weeks; which I like muchos!! :) Summer is growing up so fast. She's getting smarter and smarter every day. She started crawling during Christmas time. She can stand by herself for like a min...haha. She can't wait to walk!! She's almost 11 months and turning the BIG 1 next month. I'm hoping she'll be walking by next month or 2 months from now. We found out that she is low in iron so feeding her lots! She's testing again next month so pray for her. There is still drama on his familys' behalf...it's a never ending situation. Adam brought home his gf..so now he's married. She seems cool and very open minded. We just filed our income taxes 2 and a half weeks ago, it hasn't come in yet...BUT it should be here by March 2nd!! I'm happy with what we received this year...can't wait to go shopping!! :) And of course save! My car is finally touched and under repairs. It should be put back together by the end of this week. I should be driving it by the end of next week after DMV trips and buying insurance for it again. I'm super HAPPY and excited to DRIVE my CAR again. :) We are using our money a lil bit more wiser than last year. It's been a tough ride, but looks like we have a lil bit of room to breathe now.

For 2010 I wrote down 10 things I wanted to accomplish this year:

1. Fix my car and get it running on the street again.
2. Enroll in college and go back to school.
3. Get a job
4. Lose weight/get fit.
5. Buy life insurance for all of us once I get a job.
6. Move out and get a place of our own.
7. Work on our credit/call credit repair people.
8. Save money to buy a house in 2011.
9. Travel in the Summer.
10. Be a good wife and mother.

These are something that I really want to focus on. I took too much of a long break..it's been 2 years. I think it's about time to get back on track and focus!! I'm super excited to head back into school and start earning income again. This year started out just right and it's going to end beautifully. Oh and we are putting off another year or 2 on having our 2nd child. We really want another one, but I just don't think we can handle another one at this time in our lives. We just finally got a lil bit of room to breathe...I want to enjoy it a li bit longer and get back on track first before we even have another child. We'll see how things are when the year ends. :)

We are planning our next big visit for MARCH! The weekend of Summer's birthday. My mom wants to throw her a birthday and plus I want to go see my family. We are going to visit Annie too! It's a been almost 6 months since we have seen her. I'm excited and still trying to figure our the plan.

I guess that's an enough of an update for now. I'll be here more often again...so check me out!

Clothes, blah, blah..!!

I need new clothes!! I really do, I so want to get a whole new wardrobe for me!!!! Gosh, me and my mother in law along with baby Summer went to the outlets last night. We just walked around and I just sort of just wanted to window shopped. So that's what I was doing. I saw so many nice clothes and CUTE ones too that I totally want, but with the lack of money and still WANTING to be thinner just held me away. I really don't want to buy any clothes til I have reached my fitness goal, but then I do want new clothes for the holidays as well. Summer got a pair of new clothes from my mother in law yesterday. It will totally keep her warm this winter. I saw some warm clothing for her as well...I'm going to go buy her at least 3 outfits for the winter. :D

Anyways, we had our Thanksgiving yesterday after church. I thought we weren't going to have one this year, but I guess my mother in law wanted to have one still so we had it yesterday. Gosh...only once per year do we eat turkey? Hahahaha...I think it's odd, but gosh the food was DELICIOUS I must say! Haha. We ate a lot yesterday and still have a few leftovers...might go and eat some more today, but we'll see about that. :P

So about heading up north this Christmas, not sure yet. Aplaham has to work that Saturday and so...not so sure anymore. I do want to see my family as well..but then again...no. Lols...hahahhaha. I just want to go to Fresno New Years...and see other ppl as well. Not sure what we are going to do yet, but I hope that everyone will be happy with our decision. Most of the family is heading out Christmas morning at 1am...while my father in law will be heading out that Saturday early morning. We could just go with my father in law, yet I still want to leave earlier and see my family. BUT we won't have enough funds for that too..sigh..so damn hard! We'll see...gotta talk to the husband more about it.

Housewarming party!!

It's the day! Today is the Housewarming party for the young couples!! I'm yet excited, but all at once my room is not READY! Lols. But i don't want to spend money because we may need it for something else...so trying not to spend any money. It's ok...we can slowly decorate our room..and be sure it's ready when Abel and Yer do the OPEN HOUSE! Yup..haha.

I don't know what to cook, but we have shrimp and I bought alfredo last night...so maybe I might cook some fried shrimp, if not chicken alfredo. Aplaham didn't help me by suggesting anything to cook..lols. He's always like that when it comes to things like this. I was thinking about ordering...but still thinking about it.

Anyways, I feel special..haha. Why? I'm the girl that my husband poured his love onto. His longest relationship was only 5 months. I'm the girl he's been with the longest dating wise. He got to do so many things with me than his other girls. Lols...I know...I'm selfish. Makes me feel special and loved. I used to think that maybe he would miss his ex's, but naw he doesn't. I asked him is there anything that they have I don't have. He just replied they are just thinner than me. Lols...well, of course I've gained weight since I married him. But now that means, I have to be hotter and sexier than them. In order to beat them...that's the only thing I need to accomplish. I am his everything...and I WANT to be his everything.

Hee-Hee!

Let's work out!!

I found this great fitness trainer on youtube..and went to her website! I'm so thrilled that I finally found videos to work out with that I love! I have been wanting to transform my body, but I haven't found the right videos and/or trainer. I think God has been hearing me procrastinate about working out and he wanted to help out. Thanks God! :D The lady is so beautiful as well!! Gosh I love her rock hard body!! I admire her a lot now...she's my role model for getting in shape! It's going to be a tough road, but I'm willing to face the challenge. I'm going to be doing her workout for beginners (cause I haven't worked out in years) and her Abs torture workout because I want to eliminate my tummy!! Hehe. I'm going to go buy some dumbells this weekend and start working out every morning at 6am or 7am. I'm going to do that Monday through Saturday. Sunday will be like my rest day where I just relax. Also I want to change my diet, but not sure how yet. I know I am going to do 5-6 smalls portions of food throughout the day. I need to start drinking more milk/water and eat more fruits. I have to go buy water bottles too for my workouts. I'll get everything ready and set to go for Monday when I start. I'll keep my progress here and take pics if possible. I want a fit body by Summer of next year. Hahaha...

I'll start a new blog section for this so it won't get mixed in with my everyday blogs.

It's December!!

It's now that time of the year again! It's December...Christmas season!! My favorite holiday of the year...cause I get to go shopping and buy gifts! I love doing it and have so much fun as well!! And you burn lots of calories..walking..hehe.

Anyways..I'm not so sure what to get everyone this year..but I'll manage it like every year.

Ok...well, Abel and Yer are going to be having a pre open house/house warming party next week and it'll be much fun! It's going to be like a potluck kind of thing..not sure what I want to make/buy yet..hehe..I'm still thinking about it. Yer asked me to look at games, but I haven't even started..lols...I forgot. I hope it'll be a good night where all of us just smile and laugh! There will be some alcohol as well..haha...I haven't drank in awhile.

Well, Aplaham gets his first official check from Oreilly tomorrow!! :D

Happy Shopping everyone!

Thanksgiving!!

We didn't have a Thanksgiving feast last night...not sure why, but looks like no one is interested in actually preparing one. I wanted a Thanksgiving dinner with the family, but Aplaham and I were stuck at the Hmong New Years selling food to the guests that we couldn't prepare it. I really want some turkey with mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, salad, macaroni salad, baked ham..etc. Maybe I'll just prepare us a Thanksgiving dinner sometime next week. I'll go buy a small turkey for just us 3...have a little Thanksgiving for our little family and say what we are thankful for.

2 days ago, I said that I was going to blog about what I am thankful for this year...well, here goes:

I'm thankful for giving birth to a wonderful, healthy baby girl. I'm thankful for the smooth delivery of her. I'm thankful for have great supporting parents. I'm thankful for having good in laws. I'm thankful for everyones' well being this year..no one was extremely sick. I'm thankful for having such a wonderful husband who never forgets about his family. I'm thankful for having humorous siblings that will always put a smile on my face. And lastly, I'm thankful for God who has kept me safe throughout this year. I'm thankful that God has held me hands through everything as he is my sun and the moon.

bills, bills, bills...

Bills, bills, bills.....so many bills and so little money..what am I to do. I've been searching for a job for awhile now and NOTHING...sigh, it makes me sad. :( I really want to work so that way we can have enough for things you know. So freakin' hard and all. ButI have to keep telling myself that it's ok. God has bigger plans for me...I've gone thru so many interviews and none of them called me back. Yes, God has bigger plans for me. I have to stop thinking negative and continue to think positive. :D

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow...a hard tiring day of selling food at Hmong New Years tomorrow. I really hope we make more profit tomorrow that any other year. We should really stop this fundraising stuff...but maybe next year we will take a break again. haha..so I can go spend it with my family up in Elk Grove. My father in law wanted a Thanksgiving dinner, but not so sure how it's going to work out yet...haha...so last minute and all. I'm not so sure what we are going to have as well...I know I want Turkey, mashed potatoes w/ gravy, and ham. Lols..but we need like 2 more side dishes...maybe a salad and a stir-fry dish. With pumpkin or cherry pie for desert. Tomorrow I'll do a "what am I thankful for" blog.

Today is just going to be me and Summer along again...I think I'm just going to watch dramas..lols..makes my day go by faster and hopefully I'll find a good drama to watch.
