Where I am at currently in my life.
I am a wife to Kevin (of almost 6 years this June.) I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls. Mackenzie (I call her Monkey) who is 4 years old, a handful, crazy, funny, loving, bossy and a mirror image of me. Katie (Who i call Bug) just turned one. She is happy, silly, quiet, eats like a horse and a mirror image of her daddy. I mainly am a stay at home mom. I baby sit a little girl named Carly, I work part time at the Disney Store (most magical store in the mall) and I am currently starting my own even planning business. Just got some logo's for the cars. A giant magnet for the car and business cards for advertising. My web site will be completed and posted this week. Then I will start spreading the word. I also just took up cake decorating as a hobby, maybe it will turn into something more.
Who I live with
Kevin, my husband of 6 years. Works for The CLM Group aka Meal time. he is a project manager/coordinator/technician/installer (I have no idea what he does.) He is also going back to school this summer to get his masters degree. He is polite, charming, helpful, loving, kind, a great daddy and overall a good guy.
Mackenzie (4) is starting kindergarten next fall. Scares me to death. I like her little pre school where she is guarded and watched like a hawk. Now she will be riding the bus and going to school with the older kids. Then again, Mackenzie can hold her own. She makes friends faster than anyone I know. I have a feeling she will break many hearts.
Katie,(1) well she is just my baby. She crawls very fast. She can walk from object to object. It is a matter of time before she lets go and is off and running. She is the sweetest baby. She is so quiet and happy. She can say mama and dada. She shakes her head no quite a bit. She will smile for a camera as long as it has a flash lol. She crinkles her nose a lot when she is trying to be cute.
Mom, super busy woman. Works 2 jobs and goes to school. We see her briefly Friday night, Saturday and Sunday when she is not working on homework or stuff to her teaching job. She is Mackenzie's best friend. They have a sleep over every Friday night and eat pop corn and watch movies. Mom is driven, motivated, loving and funny.
Grandma, the rock of our family. She has worked hard all of her life. She is such a good Grandma to me and my girls. She plays with Mackenzie and loves on Katie. Helps anyone who is in need. She is a God fearing woman. She is doing great for 81 years old. She is like my other mom. I have lived with her off and on my whole entire life.
Cats - 3 of them. Drive me crazy. Anyone who wants to get a kitten remember this THEY LIVE FOREVER. Seriously they never die lol. And cats are fine when you don't have a child that is allergic to them and has to take many expensive medications to control her asthma daily.
Our home. I love our house. It is perfect for our family. Split level, Mom and Grandma have their own living room bedrooms and bathroom. We have our own living rooms, bed rooms and bathroom. We share the kitchen, laundry room and garage.
What Id like to do:
I would really like to run my own business. I would love to help plan weddings, birthday parties, showers, corporate events and volunteer events. Im good at it and I really enjoy it. I am on the right path so far. I just need to spread the word a little better and get some events in the books. I want to still be able to spend a lot of time with my kids and still work at Disney forever. My dream job would be to be a wedding planner for Disneyland or Disney World.
Where Id like to live:
Well in order to do my dream job Id have to live in Anaheim or Florida. I think Id really like to give florida a try. I love Disney. I want to live close to a park so I can raise my kids with the passion I have for Disney. Until then I am happy to live anywhere where I can work at a Disney store. I have realized no matter where you live, the place with have its downfalls. Oregon is green, beautiful, the people are friendly, but it is gloomy A LOT. It doesn't rain all of the time. But there is not a lot of sunshine. Anaheim has a lot of smog, its crowded, its gonna fall into the ocean any day now, But it has friends, family, sun and Disneyland. Florida can be hot, humid, gator's roaming around, but it has friends, sun and Disney World.
Unfortunately as you are growing up you get used to your best friends living down the street, your family around the corner, your fav places to go within a few hours away. And then you grow up. Everyone goes a different direction and you never have what you had before. You have to make decisions based on your family, jobs, education goals and the best place to raise your kids. Then your best friends and some family are thousands of miles away. I miss my friends. The ones who could barge in during dinner and we would pull up a chair for them any time. Friends who would come running if you needed help with anything. Friends who would come over when you were having a bad day and bring you a flower to cheer you up. Family who would come over to bbq on a seconds notice. Friends and family who you could make plans with the day before and not have to plan weeks in advance. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my family. I love my kids more than anything. But sometimes I miss the good old days. I have friends here, but I hardly see many of them. Everyone is so busy with their own lives these days. I miss going to Disneyland whenever I wanted. I miss spending an evening down at Universal City walk. But then again I know that if I lived in LA again things wouldn't be the same as they were way back then. Many people have moved or started families of their own and are just as busy. But still I miss them the same.
I should probably get some sleep. I do feel a little better after this blogging. Maybe I will make this a habit. Good night!
