7 years later...

Well, I figured today would be a good day to start blogging once again.

Joel and I are celebrating 18 years of togetherness and 7 years married. We now have 3 beautiful children - 5, 4, and 2 years old. We are trying to shape them into respectful adults, but it can be daunting when they have a mind of their own with different personalities. Ha! I love this motherhood stuff, even with the poop I had to clean off two different toilets and a 2 year old little that ate to much canteloupe today.

Joel got to take the oldest to his first taekwondo camp. He started taking classes in January this year. As much as it costs, it is worth seeing him grow stronger and confident in his movements and finding his voice. He has always been strong, he IS a leo/dragon. If that doesn't sum up his personality...well it does. Joel's mom, the girls, and Joel went to see him perform his new moves learnt this week. I saw a video at work. Thank goodness for Google Photos and the ability to see what Joel took once he is connected to wifi.

The 2nd oldest just performed her first folklorico performance. I put on makeup and stuck a fun bun thing in her hair. She looked so cute with her outfit.

The baby is just a perfect bubbly little soul. She has began to fight back and be a little bit stubborn, but she woudn't live up to her last name if she wasn't.

I just applied and was offered a different lateral position where I work. It is a whole different realm from what I was doing the last 13 years. I am excited to start making an impact where I  get planted. Though I feel a bit nervous for the new co-workers and that awkward ice breaking. I am good at starting up conversations and people tend to trust me quickly, but not me. I tend to observe and learn as much as I can before I let my guard down. I am up for the challenge even if my heart is at home. I have been working out an lost a lot  of weight. 25 pounds down since April. I just started to incorporate working and out and it has boosted my loss just this week alone. I am currently listening to Johnny Flynn as I write this post.

Joel has been working out lately. Trying out intermittent fasting, keeping track of macros, eating a lot of protein and working out. Summer has allowed Joel to be able to focus on himself more. He has set some goals and I pray that he is successful. We have been through lots of life lessons recently. Today, I love him just as i did when we were first dating. He makes me so proud and he is so handsome.

God has been good to us this year. I am looking forward to reaching some of goals and continue to relay on His plan for all of us.
