ADOPTION PAPERS SENT!!!

Sorry that I have been MIA, but just to keep you guys (for whoever still reads this thing) informed, that we have started the adoption process. 

We are working with an Agency out in California called Project Cuddle. They are a non-profit organization that helps you adopt a newborn without paying all the agency fees. All you have to do is get a home study done in your home state, pay the lawyer fees,  get your plane txts and hotel room, whenever you get the call that the birth mother is in labor. 

You qualify by sending your paperwork from the home study and writing a letter to a birth mother. We get put into a portfolio where the birth mother's read through your profile and your letter and choose who they want as a family for their child.  

We have to send another set of paper work and we can get a social worker matched to our case so we can get our home study going and send everything to Project Cuddle. 

Wish us luck everyone and fingers crossed we will be adoptive parents by next year hopefully.  

Last Call You Would Want To Get....

Hey bloggers, 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I haven't really had anything worth blogging about but now I do. 

On Thursday May 29th, 2014 around 8:15 pm I got a call that my husband had just been involved in a motorcycle accident. My world came crashing down. I was freaking out,  I didn't know how he was, if he was alive, or anything, just that I had to go to the hospital.

I get to the hospital only to find out that he wasn't there, so I started to freak out,  but thank fully the ambulance pulled up to emergency with him on the stretcher. I felt so much better when I was finally able to see him. I'm so glad that he was ok (at least alive). 

A van cut him off and caused him to go down night on RT 3 in East Rutherford, NJ. He suffered a sprained ankle and hurt his pelvis. As a result he has road rash, but thank god he was wearing his gear. He got X rays of his pelvis along with his ankle done at the hospital. Nothing was broken, but he needed crutches until he was able to put his whole weight on his left ankle. He has been home recovering but at least he is still with us. I was so grateful for having all my friends at the hospital with us until he got discharged.  

He is doing so much better a week and a half later. He is even considering going back to work tomorrow even though he is still limping.  

I am so thankful for his guardian angel (his mom) that watched over him that day. 

WHO'S STEVE?

So last night started like any other night. I got home from work started cooking & folded the laundry. The husband got home & his best friend came over for dinner. While they were hanging out I did my nails, our friend left and we went to watch tv on the couch. So my husband starts messing with me & tickling me. So during all of that I said please stop at the same time and it sounded like "Steve". So of course my husband starts asking me who the hell is Steve? I of course don't know another Steve besides his friend from the motorcycle club but we call him Country. Anyways, he wakes me up yelling this morning @ 5:30am about an overdraft fee that happened today. I told him to calm down, I transferred money to him from my acct. Then he starts saying that I am trying to make him believe that he said something else when he knows he didn't, just like he says I'm telling him that I am trying to make him believe that he didn't hear me say Steve. I swear to all of you that I have no reason to cheat on my husband. I love that man, then my own life & I would do anything for him. I can't imagine my life without him. I mean there isn't anything else I can tell him to think that I didn't say Steve, so I'm just gonna let him cool off.

P90X

Hello world, so I know that I have neglected you guys, and I am very sorry. I have been so busy lately with school, working out, looking for a new job, and helping my friend redo her new house.

My husband was away for 2 wks from Sept 16 to the 29th (actually 28th) in NC. He surprised me and came home a day early, which was awesome but I looked like total crap when he knocked on the door, plus the house was a total mess....lol. I was still happy I was able to sleep with him again so it didn't matter.

I did the Insanity/Brazilian Butt Lift hybrid program for a good month but got bored with it, so as of Monday I started P90X Round 1 Week1. Im doing the Classic program for these next 13 wks (Oct 1st-Dec 29th) then after that I will start the Lean program in Jan after taking a wk off of exercising. I will be posting progress pictures here to let you guys see my journey, so let's see where I look by Dec. Wish me luck.



P90X Round 1 Week1 Day3



If you guys want to change your life too just ask me how or go to Team Beach Body.

Motorcycle License

So I'm not sure if I have posted about this or not but my husband has a motorcycle & loves riding it. Who wouldn't, it is so freeing and exhilarating. Well before him, I had guy friends that would give me rides on the back of their motorcycles but that never really got me into thinking of getting my own or my license.

But, now that my hubby has one & he recently joined a motorcycle club, I have decided to get my license & my own motorcylce. I might as well do it now before I have any children. Today, I am going to the local motorcycle mall in town to get a basics class (what gear to get and what bike is right for me). The woman that is going to give the class started riding about 12-15 yrs ago & has her own basic riding class school. Now I have to save $300 so I can take her riding class, that way I can learn all the safe ways to be on the road and be a safe rider. I hope that I can get into her Sept class that way I can get my bike soon.

I hope this can be me by Oct or Nov. Wish me luck.

Brazilian Butt Lift & My Sweet Husband

Hey everyone, I know I have been slacking on my blogging but don't worry I haven't about you! So I started a new weightloss program with my friend yesterday. I was only able to get through the first month of Insanity. I love it but since she wants to workout with me I stopped it for now. I am eating better and working out more then ever. I had stopped working out for about 3 wks and wasn't eating too well so I gained 5 lbs that I lost. I was so devastated when I say the # on the scale go up.

So I decided to become a Beach Body coach and ordered Shakeology & BBL from their trial packages. So if anyone wants to order anything from beachbody let me know & you can buy it through me.

On another note, I just wanted to share how sweet my husband is; while I am at work a delivery guy from Edible Arrangements comes in asking for me.....I had the most puzzled look on my face...lol. My husband sent me a beautiful arrangement of chocolate covered strawberries with a sweet note & 3 ballons. I love when he does sweet things like that just because he felt like it.

I love you babe!

Haven't Really Talked to Him =(

So we are going into the 2nd week of my DH being away at 29 Palms & we haven't really talked except for early morning July 5th. I got in from watching the fireworks with my friend Jessica & her BF Alejandro around 10:45pm. I decided to do Insanity before bed so I did it and right after got in the shower. While I was finishing up I heard someone calling on Skype it was the hubby. I got to talk to him for about an hour and half. I was a very happy wife when I got off the phone & went to sleep. It was so good being able to hear his voice & see his sexy face.

I can wait until he is home, and according to him he told me yesterday in a quick text that he should be back in Jersey in 2 days. Which is sooner then they were supposed to come back so who really knows because I haven't spoken to him at all since.

Besides not being able to get in touch with the DH I haven't had a bad time alone. This past weekend I spent it in the pool with family & friends. I got a little color on me.

Then yesterday my best friend Kim (Partna) & Ary came over for dinner. it was the first time I cooked since Angel has been gone. Then we watched Teen Wolf while drinking a glass on wine....lol....we had a good time & I needed that because I was really missing my DH yesterday.

Hopefully I get to talk to him tonight (fingers crossed).

Hubby is at 29 Palms

He left for AT (annual training/Reservists) on Saturday. I was able to talk to him for a little on Saturday, then on Monday & didn't talk to him again until last night around 12:30am. I know it's only for 2 wks but I still miss him & he misses me too.

He left on Saturday morning to Picatinny Arsenal Army Base. I went out with my gf Jessie. we went to eat dinner at Applebee's & then went to see......

Sunday I went to my husband's cousin's house to take a dip in the pool until it started raining cats & dogs. But luckily it was only for a little while & we went right back in to keep cool.

I really didn't do anything Monday & Tuesday except hangout with my mom since she was leaving to Maryland on Tuesday night.

So I celebrated 4th of July basically by myself. I mean I went to my cousin's house for a little while and then to see the fireworks with my friend Jessie & her boyfriend. We had a good time but it was the same as previous years.

I got home around 2245 last night did some Insanity (which is going great by the way) took a quick shower right after. And thatnk God it was quick because if not I was going to miss my Skype call from my love. We talked until 0200am my time, 2300 California time. Then I had to be up at 0530 to get ready & be in at work at 0700. So I'm running on 3 1/2 hrs of sleep.

Well until next time my blogger friends.

Celebrating Our Anniversary

So since Angel got home from work late on our anniversary last Monday, we are going to celebrate it on Saturday. He said we can do anything that I want, so since the state fair starts on friday we are going to do that during the day. Then later on in the day we are going to have dinner where we had our wedding reception. It should be a good day and weekend.



Our 2 yr Wedding Anniversary!

Two years ago today I said, "I Do" to the love of my life, other half, Best friend, & Hero. Of course we argue & get on each others nerves sometimes, but I wouldn't change my life for anything in this world. I can't believe these 2 yrs have flown by but I can't wait to keep making memories with you. I can't wait to see what God has in stored for us, but as long as I'm with you I don't care. Happy 2 yr Wedding Anniversary Baby, I love you!!! — with Angel Camacho.

 

Relaxing Weekend

I think the hubby & I had one of the best weekends ever in a long time. We did absolutely nothing but hangout with each other. We went to visit my mom on Friday for an hr, then came home to watch South Park on Netflix. Saturday morning we ran errands until we had to meet up with my father-in-law to look at cars for him. Then came home to relax and enjoy the rest of the day. Sunday I went and tried to go visit my friend who is in a state prison but since the guards always come up with new stupid rules I couldn't go in, so my mom and her friend went in while I waited outside. Then came home to my wonderful husband and relaxed some more. I waited until he was done playing on his Xbox and then went to Applebee's to eat dinner.

I can't complain of my weekend because we had an awesome time together even if all we did was lounge around.....lol.

We have a new Soldier....

So my brotha from anotha motha finally finished all his training and we travelled to Ft. Jackson, Columbia, SC for his graduation on Wednesday night after my hubby, father-in-law, bro-in-law, & I all got out of work. We arrived at Columbia, SC around 15 to 0700. We rested for about an hr & got dressed for the ceremony. We went to base from our hotel to see Andy graduate.

We were so proud of him. What is so sad is that no one from his immediate family went to the ceremony or even asked him about it. (They don't have a good relationship) After the ceremony we waited around took some pictures with him. We had to wait for him to get all his gear so we can bring him back to the hotel with us and later on take him to the Airport.

After all the waiting around we took him back to the hotel. I went to sleep for awhile, we were all tired from the long ride to SC. But the guys decided to hit the pool since the weather was so nice. 

They came up stairs got ready so we can take him to the airport so he can check in at Ft. Polk, LA.

We loved the time we got to spend with him but really wished we could've had more time with him.

After we saw Andy off we went back to Ft. Jackson to explore a little & do some shopping. Went to the hotel, ate dinner and we were all knocked out by 2130. We got up around 0900 on Friday 5/4/12 and started our way back home. But before we left SC we had to make a stop. 

We had a few good laughs and too many silly pictures and I will finally end this post with one of my favorite. It's of my husband (Pharoah) killing my bro-in-law (Medusa).......LOL.

Until next time everyone!!!!

  

Haven't Been to The Gym :(

I can't believe I'm about to say this but I actually miss going to the gym to work out. I have been so busy making up hrs at work, doing school work, and doing the wife/housewife duties that I haven't been able to go workout at the gym since they close at 9pm. I'm having gym withdrawal.....lol.....so after this week an after I come back from South Carolina I will start up Phase 2 of Jamie Eason's 12 Week Trainer again since I've slacked with making up hrs. But I haven't gained a single lb., but have lost a total of 15lbs since I decided to change my life forever.

I couldn't be prouder of myself and my husband is so proud of me too and that just motivates me even more.

Why Are Men So Insecure?

So I got a text from my husband yesterday morning & he starts telling me that he feels that there is something not right. I ask him what does he mean, things not right between us or me? Of course, like always he says its me, that this weekend while he was at drill and he called me that I wasn't paying attention & asking a lot of questions to make it seem like I was pay attention.

Like I tell him time & time again, I have been hurt before & have also been cheated on by a previous ex just like he has, so I know what that feel likes & I would never want to make him feel like that as long as I'm with him. He is the love of my life, I would go crazy if something were to ever happen between us, he is truly my soul-mate, my one & only, my prince charming in combat boots, my hero. Like I told him if he is insecure then that is something he has  to work out because I have never given him a reason to feel like I am doing him dirty.

But when he came home tonight we talked it out, had dinner, had our quality, & made love before going to sleep. It was one of the best nights we have had in awhile.

He might get on my nerves & want him to leave me alone sometimes but that man truly is my rock & wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

I love you Mr. Camacho

Down to 230.5 Woohoo

Hey everyone, so yes I have done it, I keep losing weight. The day I realized that I need to change my life at tue end of February I weighed 244 lbs. & when I weighed myself this morning I'm down to 230.5 lbs. I think that a 13.5 weight loss in a lil over a month is awesome. My body is changing also because of the program that I started on March 5th. I have been going to the gym non-stop except for my rest days of course. I have never been this motivated & my husband is so proud of me, that gives even more will power and push me to work harder to get to my goal weight of 150 by November. I know it's going to be hard but if I continue the way that I have been downing I know I can do it. And who knows I might be able to even lose more then what my end goal weight is by the end of the yr.

Happy Late Easter

So we had a very relaxing Easter. We got up went to to church at 0011 with the father and brother-in-law Gabriel. It was such a nice service, we came back home and the guys were working on my husbands motorcycle in tue garage, while I was in the house cooking Easter lunch. They finished up we ate and the guys stayed home watching a movie while I went to visit my mother before she went to church in the afternoon to eat leftovers they her brothers in God had ate after their mass this in the morning. I went back home, the hubby and I were supposed to go watch a movie but opted to rent one instead and relax at home. Now I am dying to get out of work on time so I can go workout, go home, cook, and then write a paper for school that is due tomorrow.

Later my loves!!!!

It's Happening

Since I have started eating cleaner and exercising I have lost weight already 5 lbs of fat like the picture shows. I am so motivated and I anxiously wait for 4pm to get here so I can go workout everyday. I'm bummed that I have 3 rest days but I will eat clean so I can continue losing while the hubby is away for his drill weekend at Ft. Dix this weekend. I can get up eat what I have to, clean the house and burn some calories doing that.

So that means I have 81 lbs to get to my last goal weight. But I have set a goal to try to lose 15-20 lbs a month so I have btwn 10-15 lbs to lose for this month to reach my first goal weight, I can't wait, I'm so excited to see how my body changes during this time.

 

I've Been MIA Once Again.....

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I have been gone for a while, but I promise I will be back on the regular. The holidays came and went, so did my 25th Birthday on the 2nd of Jan. I can't believe that I didn't post anything on here to update you guys on how I'm doing. Well I am going to school again, my first day was on the Jan 17th. I'm attending online classes at Ashford University for Education Studies. I will finsih my first course on Monday and I am getting an A so far. I'm supposed to finish with my Bachelors Degree in Dec of 2015.

Our friend Andy that went w/ me & our family to Parris Island to pick up my husband from boot just graduated from boot camp himself. But he couldn't go into the Marine Corps so he went Army. My husband & I were unable to go to his graduation because it was right smak in the middle of the week. Since I just started at my job I still didn't have personal days & if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid. So what we decided to do was save money  go to his AIT graduation in Ft. Jackson, SC in May.  

This past Tuesday was Valentine's Day. My husband are not really big on the whole holiday, but I decided to make a special dinner for the both of us and enjoy in some desserts that I also made. 

Steak with garlic potatoes along with shrimp seasoned in basil, garlic, & red pepper flakes, cooked in white wine.

Chocolate covered strawberries & cupcakes.

Well I will finish here because I have to finish my quiz for school.

Enjoy the rest of your night everyone.

Why Can't We All Get Along

So I went to Maryland that Friday after thanksgiving and my husband decided not to go after he had originally said he was going. But anyways, that is besides the point because we spoke about that after I came back home on Sunday because I was hurt that he then decided to stay because of his cousin from NC surprised us. I felt as if I was put on the back burner just so he can be with his family. I really wanted him to come with me to the party. Well he didn't and we spoke about how I felt and everything and we got over everything. So my mother decided she want to bring it up again yesterday.and this time tell my husband what she thought about the whole situation. Obviously, my husband got mad and tell her how he felt but wasn't disrespectful and I just wanted both of them to stop talking about the whole situation because I didn't want it to escalate. I just hate being in the middle of the problem. I just wish that they could get along and get over their problem with each other. Maybe one day.......

Marine Corps Ball

Hey loves, so the Marine Corps Ball; for my husbands company was last Saturday (11/19/11). We had an awesome time, the dj was way better then last year & the food was great. The guest speaker was a retired Marine who served our country for 30 yrs and loved it. He was such an inspiration to the guys. The video that they played this year at the ball was so moving and touching,  I know there were many ppl crying because I was since they were talking about the Sept 11th attacks. 

I know I had said we were going to stay at the hotel & they were supposed to do something nice for us but we ended up leaving at the end of the night because we needed the money that we were going to use to pay for the room to fix my cars axle. So no hotel stay for us :( !!

OH I forgot to tell you, while the ceremony was going on one of the Marines that was standing next to the cake was falling asleep, so one of my husband's squad leaders got up and switched places with him. I just hope he went alone because he was going to be embarassed in front of his guest if he wasn't after the ceremony. 

Now, I'll leave you with a picture.
