a penny for your thoughts?

I've been a little on the sad side lately.... trying to make sense of my crazy life and I find myself not liking what I see or who I have become... or so I thought.... I saw this quote today and it really inspired me:


"In life we do things, some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads, but they all make us who we are. In the end, those experiences shape ever detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn't be at the exact place that we are today. So just live, make mistakes and have wonderful times. But NEVER EVER second guess who you are, where you have been and most important, where it is that you are going"


I have made my share of mistakes of course, I'm human but it is important to understand that everything happens for a reason.... if I hadn't made all the mistakes I made ( not that I am proud) I wouldn't be where I am today and I have to be thankful that all those mistakes taught me something and made me stronger. It's so easy for me to just say oh yea I am so strong but it's a lot harder to live it.... everyday a new challenge, a new experience, a new kind of sadness. 

Just my thoughts....

zuke & beli's little adventures

Sorry I've been m.i.a. for a couple of weeks...
i've been working on a project that is soon to be unveiled!

meanwhile... Zuke has been keeping me entertained and busy that's for sure!
He is learning more and more tricks and his personality is so fun that everyday is like an adventure to us...
he has recently discovered birds when we go outside and he is getting super close at catching them!

Yesterday we went for a walk around a pond and there were ducks everywhere and he saw ducks for the first time and he ran after them... lucky for him ( and me) he was on his leash otherwise he would've jumped right in to get them! It was so funny!

He also "suffers" from separation anxiety from me.... it's super funny but he can't handle it when I am not in the same room as him, he has to know what I am doing and where at all times! He was leaning on the backrest of the couch watching me on the computer falling asleep! It was so cute!



I've been busy but we've been having fun too... Austin moved out of his grandma's and got his own little condo right down the street which has been fun... We've been moving him in and getting furniture and all the stuff he needs.

We are going on a cruise next month to the Grand Caymen  Islands and Jamaica with all of Austin's family... we are soooooo excited and can't wait.

Oh yeah... Happy Birthday Mommy!!! and happy St. Patrick's day everyone!
