I got a bloggin URGE!

So I think my bloggers block has been cured lol

I started thinking of James and how much fun we have together. Here are a few pics to give you an idea lol

I have bloggers block...

So I have been trying to think of different items to write about and all that comes to mind are 5 things:

1. MY SON
2. MY JAMES
   
3. MY SCHOOL
4. MY WORK
5. AND POKER FACE

Let's start with my son. He is cute, he is growing and he is becoming quite the "mover and shaker". (name that play and I'll buy you lunch) He is the light of my life and I can't seem to get enough of him, until he starts his fake whining, then I say "OH GRANDMAAAAAAAAAA...." I can't believe in a few short months he will be one whol eentire year old! Where has the time gone?!! My baby is not so baby anymore, he is teething like mad, trying to walk and crawls like his knees are on fire! I love every moment, every babble, every everything!

Secondly there is my James, yes he is mine. I have found a great man that treats me like a princess and loves me unconditionally. He has proved to me that there really are great men left in this horrid world. I anticipate his phone calls, texts, adn wahtever else that comes from him. although we are 660+ miles away from one another we have found time to eb together and have a great time! He loves my son and that means more to me than anything he could ever do for me personally. I am quite giddy all the time and I love it :)

School is more time consuming than I thought and I don't even go to the school yet. I am doing my first couple classes online and wow still interesting. Lots to read lots more to write and learn. I will hopefully be graduated adn ready to start my career before Jayden turns 3 so he won't have to struggle to much with the memories of Mommy pullin gher hair out and biting her nails to teh skin because she can't find her STAPLER!!!! My son pushes me to be better for him so that I can give all the things every mother wants for their child, shelter, food, and many toys and fun memories. And plus, you give your child a 92% chance of going to college and graduating when one or both parents do the same. The percentage goes down to 13% otherwise! Talk about motivation!

Work has gotten super oober busy which is wonderful but we still only have one tech (mi Papa) and so it gets a lil crazy in these parts. I still love working here and getting time with my Dad. he is the most dedicated man and hardest worker! He impresses me with the speediness of his work and the presicion he has at doing it right the first time. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Last but not least POKER FACE. I can't tell you how amazing it's been to be able to dance again and especially with my best friend Jordan!! He is seriously the most amazing choreographer!! We are having a blast getting this number together. Although at times it can be stressful with people not showing up to rehearsal and what not, it's still fun to be with everyone. People are going to have their minds blown by this routine!

So there you have it. That's the short update on my life :)

A lil St. Patty's Day Fun

I've got FOUR letters for ya...

R.M.E.F.

Maybe not the four letters you might
have been thinking but still!

This weekend I flew out to Lewiston to see my amazing boyfriend. We got into town late Friday night so we just hung out at the apartment and chatted a bit. Then Saturday we got up and headed over to James' parent's house for breakfast. His Mom made the yummiest things ever! Eggs, pull apart, hash browns, fruit, coffee and OJ. It was awesome! Then we headed back to the apartment and got ready for the RMEF banquet.

What is RMEF you ask? It's the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation "ensuring the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat." James is a committee member and they host a banquet with all sorts of fun things once a year. They have things like silent auctions, live auctions, guessing boards, open bar, great food, and fun prizes. It was just a small taste of the outdoor community. I don't think I have seen so much CAMO in one place at a single time! It was awesome!

Jamie, Jen and I decided to start critiquing the people who walked by us. Some people really needed the fashion police cause WHOA! We're talkin everything from purple shirt and shiny red heels, to gold boots, to floods and back! It was so much fun to be able to spend time with the ladies! They are fabulous!

Then after walking around and looking at the auction items, and the bucket drawings we got in line for some grub. It was the most amazing food! We had salad, mac and cheese (not so good), rolls, garlic mashed potatoes, and best of all BITE SIZE. For those of you who have not had the amazing opportunity to partake of this fabulous steak concoction it is the most savory dish one could want. It is small steak squares with seasoned breading, deep fried. You dip in Au Jus and hot damn you can't stop eating it! The boys got mounds of it and not a single piece was left!

After the meal we listened to the live auction where the boys would occasionally scare us with some bids. Then we took one last look at the silent auction items and got ready to head out.but not before James and Scott got some "cool posters to put in the apartment". It was quite silly but fun to watch them!

We headed home and everyone crashed. Sunday morning we got up and James and I headed over to his Aunt's house to look at a car seat for when I take Jayden in two weeks YAY! Then we got back on the road to drive out to Spokane for my flight back home. Although I was super sad about leaving James' side again I know I get to spend a whole week with him in a little over a week! It will be awesome!

Here are a few pics from the banquet:Me and James
