For it has been TOO long....
The thoughts of you run through my head often,
but my time with you is slim....
My poor blog is left in the cold so often
I think about writing in it all the time.
I have poor time management and
spend more time reading or playing with my kid
(which is by far the most important)
I think about what i should talk about ...
My last post was what happened over the past year.
And thinking about it so much has happened
This year is going to seem so mild ... well lets hope
So far in 2012 I am trying to uphold my new years resolution
Working on not spending as much
Sounds easier than what it is
And its not that i spend a lot of money
Its more of the small amounts here and the small amounts there
they add up .... and I really am trying
there is a tiny voice in my head i fight everyday
yes you want to go to... (name store)
and then the other voice that's there .....
no you don't need to go to or buy (name store/item)
Sometimes i win, and some days my urge wins
The main reason for this resolution is that i really want to go on our planned trip to Europe.
I have always wanted to travel.
I told myself that if it means cutting out trips to the thrift store or getting that doughnut
I will gladly fight the urge and save the money instead.
I have always dreamed and wanted to travel
Culture and Languages amaze me
There is so much to learn and enjoy from all over the world
Lets just pray that i can keep this up for another 9 months
I want this so bad, its almost all I think about as of late
The thought that the trip of my dreams is 9 months into my grasp
makes me jump for joy
I have never been this close to a trip Europe.
I really hope that we will be able to do it.
So far i have about a $1,000 saved for the trip and in my camera fund almost $100
And since I only started saving at the beginning of the year I have to say that
I think i'm doing a pretty good job.
After the new year we have Caspian's 2nd birthday.
He's 2 .... I can't even grasp that.
I never thought I would be a mom
let alone a mom at 24(22 when i got pregnant)
I didn't think i could breastfeed for a year let alone 2!
We just finished that and now are working on getting him to sleep on his own.
I haven't slept in the same bed with my husband since the end of September.
I miss him and not just in the physical sense, i miss our relationship.
Its been hard, working 5am to 10 am and then dropping him off at work at 1130 am.
picking him up at 9 pm... not much we can do about that
we need this , and it works, but it makes marriage hard.

On a highly positive note Shawn has almost been with PNC for a year
and is working on getting a new position within the company.
I am so proud of him. I love that he seems to enjoy his job
And he's even putting in Extra hours when he can to
help us save some money for our trip
(we are trying really hard not to have to put anything on the credit card)
I think he's just as excited about a trip to Europe as I am.
So besides what has been mentioned there is not much else going on
Well hopefully i will be able to post more on a regular bases
Since by the time i write in here i can't remember all that i wanted to talk about
Enjoy and talk to you again soon.
