ramblings...

The last time I tried to blog I was told I had reached my capacity for picture space on blogger and now have to purchase more storage space if I want to upload pictures. Pretty much the dumbest thing of my life. I only keep this blog because it is in a sense my journal. Life moves at such a fast pace especially with a little one and I don't want to forget any of it. I really should stop being such a slacker and keep up on scrap booking but I type much faster then I craft. So I suppose I will have to attempt to find a way around this blogger issue or just break down and pay the $6 a month for more picture space. In other news it has taken me 5 years but I have finally decided what I think I want to do with my life- no promises because I am a woman and I have changed my mind about this a million times. I'm really leaning towards pastry school. A complete opposite from what I always thought I would want to do. I have always enjoyed cooking, but I could never do it for a living. I like making dinner for my family and friends but if I had to make more then one a day I would grow to hate it quickly. But baking- I could do all day long. I have looked into pastry school and found a program I could bust out in a year and be done. So now the only question is when do I get on it? Well I think its only appropriate to allow Matt to finish his final year of school. He will be all done in March, assuming he doesn't want to finish an extended program in which case he will be done in December. In the meantime I would REALLY like to have another baby. I want nothing more than for my children to be close in age like me and my sisters. I feel like we're in this really comfortable position in life where I have the opportunity to stay home and I think another addition would just be ideal. We have been trying for a few months now and I'm finding myself in a similar place where I was when we were trying to get pregnant with Olivia-frustrated. I know it will happen when it happens but dang it I just want it to happen already. Our lease is up in our apartment in October (praise!!) and I am so beyond excited to move. We really would like to buy a house but to be honest I'm a bit high maintenance in what I want in a home that I own. Maybe because I have lived in an apartment for so long where I don't have to pay to or actually fix anything when its broken. The fact that I haven't worked in over a year and that we are a one income family, means we only qualify for so much. When Matt graduates he will get a pretty nice raise and once I finish school I'd like to work part time at a bakery or something pastry related and then we could qualify for something decent. To be honest owning a home is not the most important thing to me, yes one day we'd like to but there is no rush. The way I see it, what's the point of owning something as a big as a home if you have nothing of substantial value (like a family, and good friends) to enjoy it with? We have a few town homes were looking to move into in October and I just can't wait to get the eff out of here. So our ideal two year plan, I'd like to get pregnant like yesterday, move, have another baby, Matt graduates, I enroll in this pastry program and finish it, then get a job at a bakery, then buy a house. Sounds easy enough right? Ha we'll see. Anyways little miss will be 13 months old on Wednesday. So I guess I have to figure something out to post my 87 pictures of her I've taken this last month. In the meantime here's one of our sweet girl

 

honestly how could I not want to make more cuties like her ;)
