I Miss My Computer

Well I've been dying to blog.
My computer went crazy a few days ago so we had to take it in to get fixed, so I haven't been able to do anything online that I normally do! Right now I'm sitting in my college's computer lab typing this (sorry BCC, I'm sure I'm breaking some rule). I want to blog about Max turning FIVE, about my second wedding anniversary coming up (woohoo!) and some other things that of course I manage to think of when I can't type them out. So I just thought that before I headed to class and after I had done some of my online work that I would go ahead and give my followers a little shout out! I should have my computer back tomorrow I'm hoping.
I don't even have time right now to do my Thankful an a Thursday post but I will tell you one thing I am super thankful for....

That it's just my computer broken and not anyone I love.

So I'll talk to you as soon as I can,

Max's Party!

The last two weeks have been super busy! 
So I haven't had a chance to really blog the way I like to so I thought I would just leave a link to my new party website. I am trying to start up a party planning business so tell your friends about the site too! I already posted some pictures on this blog as well, here are some more personal ones though! So click this link http://tblpartiesbyjacqueline.blogspot.com/ to see my new party blog!

Caitlin (My sister) asked Max what face he makes on his birthday and this is what she got!

 The mess outside! The wind didn't help anything.

 The cakes destruction!

The Joy of Luck {Day Seven}

07: Your Rainbow.

Today is about something I look forward to in the future. I look forward to so many things though! I look forward to buying a house, to traveling with my husband, to watching my kids grow more and more every day. I look forward to where our life is going to take us. I am totally cheating on this one because I definitely didn't take the picture but I know she wouldn't mind if I used it. My family and the places we are going is my rainbow. Our future is bright as the sun and we won't be looking back.

The Joy of Luck {Day Six}

06: Who is a Blessing.

After trying to think of things as luck, I am finally in my element with this one. This question is an absolute no brainer for me. My children are my biggest blessing. The moment I knew I was going to be a mom for the first time, my life changed. I am now a much better person because of my kids. I live my life for them and without them I'd be lost. My husband is also a blessing in my life. He has showed me what love is supposed to be like. He is the daddy I've always wanted my kids to have and for that I do consider myself lucky. After experiencing first hand the kind of man that doesn't want to be a daddy (with Max's biological father), Ryan took the role to heart and hasn't looked back.

The Joy of Luck {Day Five}

05: What Brings You Luck.

Like I said in a previous post, I don't need much luck in my life. I've got LOVE. But when I try and think of something that brings me luck I get my marriage. Since I've gotten married, my life has become more enriched. I got pregnant again after I got married, I have been able to experience more of life by being married. I think my marriage is my good luck charm.

Thankful Thursdays- 17

Be content with what you have, for God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid." --Hebrews 13:5,6

This week was my Spring Break from school, and it was amazing. I am thankful for that and so many other things like...

161. for my sisters safe arrival back in Texas.
162. that the people in my family have such good hearts.
163. for my brother and his wife, who know when something is just the right thing to do.
164. for my mom who raised us to be generous.
165. that the gas prices I've had to pay have still been less than four dollars.
166. for Lisa, who worked with Tracy van Dam first, and thats how I learned of her.
167. that Max's party went AMAZINGLY. I couldn't have asked for it to go any smoother.
168. that even though I have a "baby daddy", I am able to forget.
169. for all the people who were able to come to Max's birthday party.
170. that my Grandma made it to California safely.

What are you thankful for this week?
Talk to you soon,

The Joy of Luck {Day Four}

04: Your Seven Favorite Material Things.

This wasn't very easy for me. I don't have very many things that I cannot live without, so I had to think of seven and this is what I came up with.
-My digital camera. (I couldn't get a picture of it). It captures moments throughout our days that I know I don't want to ever forget so I catch them and save them.
-My phone, computer, T.V. and DVR box. All three of these things keep me in touch with the outside world and help me stay sane.

-My washer and dryer. Before I had them I did laundry at my moms once a week and it was really time consuming. Ever since Ryan and I bought our own washer and dryer life as been that much easier! I do if not a load a day, then every other day.

-Lastly, my books. I love to read. Not much explanation needed. I like to have books, they make my house feel a little more cozy.
