It has been awhile since the last post. So the updates are this:
Lyla is MOBILE! and when I say mobile, i mean she cant sit still for more than .25 seconds! she is everywhere all the time. and on top of that she is about to walk any time now. She has now worked up the courage to let go when she stands, so now she is standing almost on her own! So the fun has begun!!!
She is just growing way too fast. This past weekend made her 9 months old. I cant believe that my baby girl will be turning 1 year old in November.
On other notes, not many exciting things have been happening. This past weekend Johnny and I went to his high school reunion. It was so nice to meet all of his high school friends! They were all so nice and sweet! - Other than that we just had family time!
So now the hurricane is suppose to be here this weekend, and I was going to go visit my sister, but I think Irene wants me to have other plans :( I'm bummed about it, b/c I miss my sissy and my nephew... well maybe next weekend or something we can see her.
Well now its tuesday and I had last week off from class, so tonight its back to the drawing board.
Other than those updates, there is really nothing special going on.
Oh wait, there is something special coming up- mine and johnny's 2 year wedding anniversary! I cant believe its already been 2 years, and we have a baby girl. Sometimes i look back and i think how did we get to this point. Time is flying by, which only makes remember to enjoy all the good and awesome memories that we make. Actaully the death of a dear dear friend made me realize how important my family is to me. I dont know what I would do if I didnt have my family. My life would not feel complete if I didnt have Johnny or Lyla or anyone else in my family.
After my dad passed away a big hole was left in my heart. That hole will always be there. Its not going anywhere. I think back to that time when I got that phone call, and I remember all the pain and suffering I went through in the past 2 years. I often times cursed God for bringing so much emotion and emptiness in my life, BUT now, looking back I actually have to give thanks to God b/c had I not gone through that, I wouldnt be the person I am today. And i might not possibly have my family. So i have to be thankful for the strength i gained. I know a lot of times it is hard to move on from situations, such as death, but its important to remember that you are not moving on, your moving away from the negativity of the situation and focusing on all the postive energy and all the great memories that were made.
yes i think i am rambling, but this is just something i needed to express. i think its important for people to know that you have to treasure the time you have NOW b/c you never know what might happen the next day, or in the next few minutes.
well enough with the rambling.....
soon i will be posting some new pics of lyla bug :)

its been a while~
Well its beens a while since my last post. many things have been happening!
first off:
lyla is crawling!!!!! and she is into EVERYTHING! we have to watch watch her every minute of the day until she goes to sleep! she also wants to stand up all the time. she will pull herself up from the couch, chair, your leg, or whatever else is around that she thinks she might can pull up on! so the fun times have begun!!! other than that she is just growning like a weed! when i came back from california, i think she had gained 5 pounds and grew a couple of inches as well!
speaking of california!
lets see, we (me, alex and my mom) left raleigh on wednesday night at 7:50pm and arrived at LAX around 11ish. the flight actually went good. of course i couldnt sleep bc i was real nervous about a night time flight. and since this was only my second time flying i was super nervous! anywho. on thursday was just chilled out in the room and my friend iriany came over from san diego and we ate lunch and walked aroung anahiem for the afternoon! on friday, we took a hollywood tour. i was not impressed with that tour. we got caught in a little bit of traffic and so the tour only last about 40 mins. we saw the stars on the street and the hand and good prints and the hollywood sign and then that was it. we didnt even get to shop for anything! so i was a little disappointed that we didnt have time to see more! HOWEVER, we did see 2 celebrities; ironman and bumble bee!!! hahah LMAO! oh and then that night we went to the anaheim angels baseball game! it was a great game. we all got t shirts and gifts for johnny since that is favorite team of all time! i wish he could have been there-
anywho on saturday we took a california riveria tour. first we went to newport beach and drove a little boat around the harbor. it was sooooo nice!!! we saw a lot of yatchs, and big houses. we also saw john waynes former residence, however the people who have now bought it, has double to the size to 12,000 sq feet!!! so it was HUGE~ beside johns house, used to be nicolas cages house! it was anything too special but it was rather large as well. a little further down the way we saw 2 sea lions on the back a boat, just chillin out! they were so cute! then we went to laguna beach. we ate at this amazing pizza place! then went shopping and walked around to see the place . it was a cool place! but i would love to have a place at newport beach!
well anywho, then on sunday, we just chilled. we slept late, then packed our stuff and went to the mall to waste time until it was time to go back to the airport.
iriany and milledge joined us at the mall and it was so great to see them and her baby bump :) i surely miss my best friend! :(
but anywho we went back to the hotel and picked up our bags and took a taxi to the airport and waited for our flight to leave LAX at 10:50pm.
needless to say, i am still jet lagged! i was so tired when we got off that flight. i didnt really sleep the whole way home. but monday i got a little bit of sleep but i was too excited to be home to see lyla and johnny so i didnt really sleep like i needed to .
but the trip was so fun! and we had a great time. but i dont want to ever leave my little family like that again! next time, they shall go with me!!!!
well last night was my last night of organizational managment class. i have next week off and then i start cis 300. this weekend we are also attending many things, we are attending our dear friend matts memorial service on saturday, then that night we are taking lyla and going to see the issacs sing. then on sunday we will go to church and then meet up with matts family to put out a cross in his memory. my heart and prayers are still with his family as this loss for them will remain a hard uphill battle. but i pray they find comfort in the time and good memories they had with him.
well i must go.....
