5 years!

I know this is a week overdue, But I just wanted to let you know that Aaron and I have been married for 5years!! OMG!! It seems like not that long ago I was the anxious girl peeking from behind the bathroom door, not really understanding what I was signing up for. Nevertheless, I'm so glad I made the plunge with the man I did. It's hard being two seperate people learning not only to live together, but very quickly after, to parent together. It's been a challenge but I know beyond a doubt that we love each other. I know that we are growing together and I'm so excited to see what the future brings!

I love you husband!

My iphone drama

Yes, I have nothing better to write about but my "American Problems". I feel like such a whiner complaing about something so not worth complaining about when there are people all over the world suffering, but nevertheless, I am an American and these are my problems.

One week ago today my iPhone was stolen from a Walmart parking Lot. I'm not exactly sure what happened or where it went as it was in the basket with my kiddos and I would have surely not missed someone reaching into my basket, and my four year old would have no doubtedly started telling me that someone grabbed my "mone". So I'm not sure where it went missing but in my adventure from Walmart to my house, I realized it was gone. My friends Kim and Chris were with me and began calling my phone in which the person who possessed my phone started forwarding my calls to voicemail. Chris began then sending texts saying, "please call me, there has been an accident, it's an emergency" trying to appeal to thier better morals. However, people that steal have no morals and they turned my phone off. I was at the same time on the phone with AT&T suspending my line.

I proceeded to then file a police report to verify that yes, it was stolen, and that way it can't be pawned. Which is nice!! However, I then called AT&T again to make sure that since I had reported the phone stolen to them and to the police that AT&T (which the iphone is exclusive to) wouldn't activate a stolen iPhone. Which in they proceed to tell me that yes, they will activate it. I told them that didn't make me feel like they cared about thier customers very much. They said that cell phones change hands so much that they can't know if the phone is stolen or not. HELLO!! I've reported it stolen. So I then ask the man (since I've had my phone less than 90 days) what they can do to help me get another one. He tells me nothing, and that I have to pay FULL PRICE ($400) for the 3g 8gig (bottom of the line) iphone.

I went to AT&T today becuase I couldn't get my new sim card to work in my phone and of course I can't help but tell the guy about my dillema where in he tells me I can call Apple and they can disable the phone with the IMEI number. So I call Apple and they tell me, no, that's not true and they can't do any of that. I then start telling her about what has happened. She tells me that I could have purchased insurance through an insurance company (becuase AT&T and Apple don't offer anything that covers theft), and I was like yeah, but I would have had to pay a five hundred deductible or pay $400 for a new phone. I mean really, why would I do that. She told me there is nothing they can do. And that if the people who stole my phone call in with MY serial number that is registered to MY name, they have to help them. WHAT!!! I said why can't you protect the honest people. I don't understand.

Needless to say I'm using a POS phone and I'm writing letters to AT&T and Apple about protecting the people that give them business. It wouldn't be hard my iTunes account could disable the phone when they try to hook it up. Or AT&T could have to type in the serial number if an iPhone comes in that wasn't purchased on that account and when it comes up on my account they could confiscate the phone. If they tried to call and activate it, they could have to type in the serial number and then tell the person on the phone there is no way to activate it over the phone and that they will have to come in. Sprint and TMobile do it. Why can't AT&T, and can it really be that hard when they are the only ones that service iPhones. UGHHH irritates me.

My daughter isn't growing!

So I took Addie to the Doctor yesterday and found out that in the last three months she has not even gained an ounce. I have a 14 lb 10 month old. The only advice I was really given was to feed her more. SO, I am feeding her every two hours, which is exhausting. I'm a little worried but I think that's the devil becuase I was totally okay with it when the doctor told me. I just knew some things had to change and we have to get her back on track. So my tiny daughter that isn't even on the growth chart anymore will hopefully begin to pack on the pounds!!

It's Official

Aaron Walked!! I'm so excited and proud of him! Here are some pictures from the event!

My husband is offically out of school for Funeral Directing. I think his plans are to go back to be a Embalmer in about 6 months. He takes the Board on June 5th!

Our Whole Clan:

Aaron and His Boss:

The Family:

Aaron Graduates!!!

Well, He did it!! My husband is officially a College graduate!! He walks on Friday! I'm so proud of him and excited for all that is to come! God is so good and I feel like such a blessed woman. The air in my house is different! Less Stress, More Peace, No Worry!! I'm so thankful to have a man that works so hard to provide for his family, even at 24.

Thank you to all of those that prayed for him! I really appreciate my friends and family!

Addie and Her TuTu!!

Addie and her sweet TuTu that I made! I think I want to take some more pictures soon!! It is so cute! The first one is just for laughs but the others are so sweet! I love this little girl so much!!

ADDIE!!! and Aaron School update!

So, My precious Addie...she had been crying for a little bit before I went and got her out of her bed this morning, I walked in her room to find her completely standing up in her crib. She isn't pulling up on anything else in the house, so I thought I still had a little bit. But there she was, screaming and standing. Also, she is pushing through her first tooth on the bottom right. She has been fussy lately but I thought it was just due to a little virus, but nope. I felt it, her first tooth!! I"m so excited! As soon as I can I will post pictures of her doing these fun things and her cute teeth! SHe is crawling and she is super fast, I can't keep up with her, she is still army crawling but is definatley more effecient in doing so. I never really had this with Cade so pray for me as I learn all about what it means to not only have a crawling child, but one that also puts EVERYTHING in her mouth!

Okay, now on to my lovely Husband Aaron. He has to take several tests this week and if he fails even one test, all of his schooling is for nothing. He can't even retake the one class, he has to start school completely over again (which he won't) and all the money, time, and stress that has gone into this rediculousness we call school will be for nothing, not to mention that in this economy he will also be looking for a job. The job he currently has only continues if he gets through school. So please be praying for him this week! Pray for the provision of our family. I know that he has been studying, so pray that God brings the things he needs to know back to his memory! Thank you!
