WHEW this deployment is almost over and I am so relieved!! I must say though, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Yes, spending almost all the holidays apart my other half was hard but we look forward to catching up when he gets back :) Speaking of holidays, today is probably my favorite one ;) My love is 24 years old today!!! Happy birthday Tony. SO thankful for this day. without you, my life wouldn't be complete. We are so lucky to have you in our lives!!
The next month is going to be crazy busy and I'm ready! Tony gets home soon, our cruise is SOON and hopefully visiting friends in Austin will be VERY SOON! So much to look forward to and I can't wait for the family time. With my cruise coming up in less than a month, I have been trying to get into shape. AHH. Working out is definitely not my favorite thing. As you all know, I had Julian a while ago and this baby flab on my tummy just isn't going away. I don't know if a bikini will be in my future any time soon and this is so hard for me. I know I sound so pathetic but I miss my pre baby body!! I did Active 2 yesterday and OH.MY.GOSH. it hurts to wash my hair in the shower! Beauty is pain I guess right??
We've been in Abilene for about a week and a half now and things are going pretty smooth. It's been nice to catch up with my friends and for Julian to be around other kids his age! Since being back home, my baby fever is getting ridiculous. Three of my friends, yes THREE just had babies within the last 2 months and I'm going crazy seeing all of their little faces and cuddling with them. It makes you realize that time goes by so quick and to not take anything for granted. Julian's 15 month check up was yesterday and it went well. Since Tony's been gone, Julian was fighting ear infections one after another and it was to the point where tubes were the next option. Yesterday, the doctor walks in and he actually thought Julian got tubes because we haven't seen him in awhile. LOL it was actually only 2 months since we've been in, which is normal but he was so used to seeing us like every week! anyway, Julian is gaining weight very well which is a huge relief. He jumped from the 10 percentile to the 25 percentile! Weighs 22 lbs 11 oz and is 32 inches tall which is 75 percentile! We are so happy to hear that he is right on track and no ear infections this time around!!
Hoping the next couple of weeks go by quick! To all my friends that just said goodbye to their loved ones, You will be in my prayers and time will go by fast. Just know, I am always here! Friends are support. Love you guys!

New Year= New me!
So it is officially 2012. Wow! Another year is here and I am ready to kick butt and set some new goals for myself. I know that everybody makes their New Years Resolutions every year. Well this year, I'm actually going to set some AND follow through with it!
Back in November 2009, my love asked me to marry him and about a month after we were engaged, we found out we were pregnant so all of my wedding plans got pushed to the side and we decided to get married at the courthouse instead for multiple reasons. Ever since then I can't help but want to plan a wedding SO bad. Don't get me wrong, I still love the way I got married and that I had a beautiful baby boy a little sooner than expected but every girl dreams of planning a wedding!! Now that I'm officially addicted to pinterest, it hasn't really helped my obsession ;) My goal for this year is to HOPEFULLY make this dream come true within the next few years and get a general idea of when (NOT IF) this wedding will happen! It's a little overwhelming considering all the factors that play into this. 1. When are we having our second child? 2. Do we want to wait until we're done having kids to have our wedding? 3. Is this going to feel like a wedding and be everything I want it to be even though we got married 2 years ago?! This year, I want to get this all figured and set a date, even if it won't be for a few years. I just NEED to have some hope that a wedding will be in our future!
Okay my next goal for this year. Doing something for myself! Okay so that sounds a little selfish, but being a mom and a wife, you sometimes forget about yourself in the midst of all the duties! Whether it's getting an amazing work out plan (which is a MUST) or maybe taking a little vacation with some girl friends, getting a spray tan, maybe a new wardrobe? ANYTHING. I need goals to set, dreams to come true! I love being a mom, it's the best job in the world but....Is there something else out there that i would love to do?! Is it school or a new job or a business to get into?? I want to set high goals for myself to see what I'm capable of!
My last goal- Being the best Leslie that i can be. I want to better myself as a person. Be a better wife, mom, sister,daughter, friend and Christian. This past year has been such a roller coaster with moving, learning things about marriage and motherhood everyday, and finding a church. I say almost every week "I want to find a church, I want to be involved!" but I never seem to go through with it. This year, I will find a church where we can be involved as a family and grow spiritually. I grew up surrounded by an amazing church family and want that desperately for my growing family!!
With a new year here, I am excited to see these goals met, relationships grow and changes made! We are so fortunate to live another day and I want to make the most of this wonderful life that God has blessed me with! Happy New year to every one and live life to the fullest!!
