Catching up with life!

Wow! It has been ages since my last post, I would apologize but I know that not a soul out there reads it anyway. I was in bed last night watching Julie and Julia, and of course it reminded me that I had a blog, so here I am. Lets get you caught up on whats been happening in my life. Well first, we bought a house! EXCITING time for us, it is a huge house (at least in my mind it is) it's a 5 bedroom 3 bathroom two thousand seven hundred something square feet house, it has two levels and lots of room for our family (there are 5 of us). The girls were so excited to get their own rooms, and of course pick out a paint color for the walls, I still have tons to do as far as decorating goes but we got moved in and are slowly getting everything in order. Oh and I got a brand new washer and dryer! Funny the joy that new appliances give me! I am praying that good ole Santa man brings me a new stove for Christmas, we'll see how the funds are when that time of year rolls around.
 Lets see what else is going on? OH! I finally got enough courage to apply to the Art Institute of California's Baking and Pastry degree program, and so very proud to say that I got in and start on Monday July 8th!  Yes I know it is not some fancy culinary school, but it is in my budget and I am excited! I am one step closer to opening Sissy Sweets**kitchen creations**, an actual storefront!!!! A gal can dream can't she (swoon) 
My older sister moved away, to Oregon this month, I miss her and my niece, but I know that she is enjoying her new adventure and we will hopefully see them for Christmas. My parents are also wanting to move away and retire, not to sure if I am happy or sad about that.
 My baby turned two last week :( tear tear tear. It makes me so sad to see that she is growing so fast, yet so glad that she is growing into such a great little girl. My heart hurts at times,  I long to have more children, but due to some medical circumstances I had my tubes done after baby S was born, I know that it was for the best (safety and health wise) and I am so very grateful for having the three that I do have, but I think a mommy always has that place in her heart where she just wants more babies, at least I do!
I will turn 31 in three days. I have always dreaded my birthday, my husband has always tried so hard to make sure that I have a great day, but it being so close to the Fourth of July it has always been difficult to get something together, last year was a complete disaster, we started to have a birthday bbq that turned out to be an Independence bbq cause people forgot it was my birthday, curious to see who remembers this year. I tell myself that I am just over it, but inside it still hurts that people forget or are just to busy to want to do anything, and since this year is my year to not care, I am going to dinner with hubbs and the girls to celebrate with those most important to me, plus I was sold when hubbs said Chinese food!
My anniversary is on the 31st, 10 years hubbs and I will have been married, yes I married at a young age (21). I am so excited, I have these awesome plans in my head of how I want things to go but I have to wait to see if I can get a sitter for a few days, we'll see how that goes.Well I am off to go have a fabulous lunch date with hubbs. To whom ever is out there I do wish you a wonderful weekend!

Wow, what a day. Started out VERY rough! I woke up at 2:45 am and could not go back to sleep, it was very frustrating, my mind was running a million miles an hour. I finally went back to sleep when I heard the Hubbs get out of bed, I may sound a bit selfish but I even though of getting up and making some breakfast, but I was warm and my baby was cuddling with me so I closed my eyes :O) Any how back to the day, Little S. cried just about all morning, she did not wan to get up, did not want to shower, did not want to brush her teeth. She cried putting on her socks and cried because she did not wan to wear shoes.. She missed breakfast and we had to leave to take Big S to school so yet again she cried. Of course she had breakfast as soon as we came in (we live 1 minute away from school, 6 minutes when we walk) and the day started to get much better. I was the first to answer my class discussion board and that made me happy, as I had first choice of question. I drafted a  rough draft of my Journal Article Review for my class. I dyed  pasta for Big S's class party tomorrow, as well as dipped some giant marshmallows in white chocolate and covered them with sprinkles. Bagged them and carried them off to to Big S's class along with the treat bags. I just love holidays, I enjoy the decorating and baking and fellowship. We had a good family dinner and dessert, Sherry's Berries, thanks to Abuelo. Big S and Little S sat and wrote out thier Valentine cards, while Baby S and Hubbs played Call of duty. I am baking up some yummy pineapple cupcakes with strawberry frosting for Big S's party tomorrow typing away as I wait for them to cool. I had a very good conversation on the phone with a friend, sad to say but those are few, nonexistent to be honest. What I thought was going to be a horrible day was really a great day. Thank you Lord, I could have not done it without you. I called on Him so much today, and even when I thought I would crumble, I had so much peace. Off to watch Survivor with the Hubbs. Good night and God Bless you, whom ever is out there.

Good evening :O)
 Today is the day that I finally start my blog. I have had Sissy Sweets **kitchen creations** sitting on my dash board for over two years with not one single post. To be honest I was never sure what to post about.  But this year, this year is different. This year I have no reservations, no more worrying about what others are doing or saying, no more being walked over or passed by. This year is for me to be with my husband and my beautiful little girls. Through personal trail I have learned that I was walking away from my relationship with the Lord, I've been down that road before let me tell you es no bueno!!!! I realized, well actually He showed me, that I needed to come back to Him, lean on Him, rely on Him, I needed to understand what it felt like to be so lonely with everyone around you yet at the same time feel His presence and His arms around me. When I had no words to tell Him how I felt, my tears did. They told Him how much I was sad and how I was hurt and alone. He has filled me with so much joy and love that I have no idea what to do now :O) So, I bake, I bake my little tush off. Now the only problem, is finding someone who will eat all these delicious sweet treats!
