Little April Showers!

     Wow, it has been way to long since I posted anything... I just feel like lately not much has been worth writing about, but here we are already in April and I had not posted anything, so I figured I should probably come on and write about those few important things that have occurred lately. 

Look at that face!!! lol
He melts my heart <3
   Let's start with my favorite news, On March 5th at 8:46pm my adorable nephew Samuel was born into this world!!!!! I was so so excited when this happened because I had been waiting for what seemed like forever to meet him. He is just the sweetest little baby ever, I could hold him all day, every day, but unfortunately he lives 3hrs away. Lol. I was blessed to be able to spend a week with my Sister to help out and visit with them and little baby Samuel, it was so fun to be able to be apart of his life for just a week, so blessed! I actually cannot wait for them to be here is weekend so I can spend more time with them! I am just so honored to be the Aunt to this sweet sweet boy, who makes every day brighter when I can see his face!!!!! I have so much for love this little human it is beyond me. Which is why it is so important to me to be the best Aunt in the world and to be able to be apart of little Sam's life. I want to be that cool auntie that he can look up to and talk to (when the time comes) when he needs someone to talk to, that isn't mom! lol.
 I personally know the importance of having an amazing Aunt(s) in your life, I couldn't imagine life without my aunts!! (ok maybe some of them but that is a different story. lol) So it is so important to me to follow their examples and to be the best Aunt that Samuel will ever have, and of course my other nephew Jerry deserves me to be the best Aunt for him as well. Anywho, Welcome Samuel to the world, I love you little guy!!!!! 

I just wanna kiss his little cheeks!!!!!!!!

Before the race!




My mom and I at w/ the
 color me rad truck. 
    For the first time on the 7th of April, I had the opportunity to run in my first 5k race! The race is called the "Color Me Rad" race, and what happens is as you run/jog/walk the 5k there are bombing stations where people throw/spray you with colored water or colored cornstarch! It is so much fun, and i was able to experience this with my mom so it was that much more special. I got to jog/walk it with her once which was fun, then I turned around and RAN it by myself in about 25mins!! That probably isn't that fast but it felt like a great accomplishment to me, and I was proud of myself. haha. My next goal is to do the Disney Run, 1/2 marathon or 5k!!!!! Hopefully one day :) 
I FINISHED THE RACE!!!!

    
These last few weeks for me haven't been to easy because Tony has been out of town working and I HATE IT!!! Being alone is no fun at all. It makes me feel lazy, I mean, I clean my place but you can only clean so much before there is nothing left to do or before I am bored out of my mind... I try to watch TV, go out for walks around my apartment, play with Flynn, and hang out with friends but all that only goes so far to keep you occupied! Thank goodness I am able call him frequently and he is able to make it home every saturday night to be able to go to church with me on sunday, it makes things slightly easier for me and for him as well. I love my husband so much and it just sucks being away from him for so long a week and a half to go!!! 

My little Family!!!! <3
    So that is what has been going on in my life lately. I will probably write again this week because I didn't want this one to be to long and boring :) Thanks for reading!!! (And like always please ignore all grammar and spelling errors. lol)

Love,
