It's the little things...

Gosh I haven't blogged since January! I'm six months pregnant today and I know I need to dedicate another post entirely on my pregnancy updates so I promise next post will be longer. Life is great- I really can't complain about being pregnant because baby has been soooo good to me! My most favorite moments involve just me and my belly, feeling his kicks and responding to my voice and touch. I also love that every night and every morning, Jared kisses me with a "hi mama" and kisses my belly with a "hi baby, it's your daddy". What more could I ask for?

The little things..

We've been having such amazing weather lately. The a.c. is finally turned off, all the windows and doors open- it's really the reason why I put up with Arizona's summers. Jared and I built a couple of raised garden beds this week. Can't wait to start planting! Pictures coming soon.

Here's an amazing time-lapse video that reminds me why i love AZ so much:

Why not?

Saw this on a couple of blogs so I've decided to do my own take of the abc's of me:

Age: 24. I feel so old!

Bedsize: Queen. works for me although Jared wants a King.

Chores that you hate: dishes! I do them only because I have to. Even though I like to buy paper plates from time to time ;)

Dogs: Happy and Mimi- my family's chihuahuas. Jared and I want a french bulldog one day.

Essential start to your day: shower! It makes a big difference in how I feel the rest of the day. I've never been the shower-the-night-before kind of girl. Also, I need to make prayer my absolute essential part of my day. One of my goals

Favorite color: a specific teal/turquoise color. Although I love all "nature" colors (blues, greens, browns, whites)

Gold or Silver: I prefer gold, although I like that my wedding rings are white gold.

Height: 5'-4"

Instruments you play: I play piano and someday I will learn to play guitar

Job title: newborn photographer

Kids: anxiously waiting for God to send us a little one 

Live: live happy :)

Mother's Name: Leticia, a.k.a. Lety, mami, mom 

Nicknames: I've never really had a nickname. Parents call me "Aimita" sometimes, but it's usually accompanied by "ay Aimita" lol.  I had a friend nickname me Aims once. Jared calls me Babe.

Overnight hospital stays: When I had my arthroscopy (shoulder surgery) a year ago exactly. 

Pet peeves: Bad grammar, especially when people say "I didn't do nothing". Also, loud chewing noises.

Quote from a movie or tv show: "Put it in a bubble and blow it away"

Right or Lefty: Righty

Siblings: 3 younger sisters. 

Time you wake up: 7:15ish sometimes 8 if I'm really tired.

Underwear: yes..

Vegetable you hate: radishes

What makes you run late: when I've misplaced things I need for the day (keys, badge, etc.)

X-Rays You've Had: foot when I broke it, finger when I sprained it, shoulder, knee when I sprained it, neck/back at chiropractor, teeth at dentist. 

Yummy food you make: I make some good food! some of my favs: teriyaki chicken, Mexican rice, mole, Hawaiian pulled pork

Zoo Animal: Not technically from the zoo, but I love the dolphins at Sea World (it's technically a marine zoo right)

Oh hello blog, long time no see

I'm so sad I haven't had much any time to blog. I'm working part-time only so you'd think I would have more free time but before you know it, I'm caught in a routine I can't seem to get out of. 

Jared started school again. Full-time this semester and still working his 3 p.m.- 1 a.m schedule and in the bishopric. The few moments we's get to spend time with each other are bliss. My poor husband finds himself so stressed out sometimes that I feel like it's my responsibility to cheer him up. This week was especially hard on him (and me) but we talked and realized we really should be grateful he has such a good job and he's able to go to school. Things that are worth it, are always challenging. I was reading my friend Bonnie's blog and she's in the same situation as I am, but she sees her husband far less than I do and is a mom so I really should stop complaining. She said something that has really stuck with me this week. "I am happy. I need to remember my trials are small"........ So true.. so true.
