A little about me, Mrs. A

Since I have some new followers, I thought I would tell you a little bit about me. I don't know if I ever fully introduced myself.
  • I am in my twenties but getting pretty close to 30. BLAH
  • I am originally from Upstate NY, where I lived for the first 27.5 years of my life.
  • I now live in the greater Phoenix, AZ area and love it.
  • I miss my family life crazy (they all live in NY still)
  • I married a great man
  • My sexy hubby is from Northern California
  • We met in NY through a mutual friend
  • We had a long distance relationship for the first 4 months
  • We got engaged after only 6.5 months together
  • We got married 2 years to the day that we started "dating"
  • We are in the process of buying a home
  • I can't wait to decorate my own home
  • We have an awesome little puppy named Dexter
  • I come from a divorced family
  • I have a brother with severe MR
  • Nobody truly understands the hardships you go through with a sibling who has MR
  • My Mom is my best friend
  • My relationship with my Dad has been rocky though it is better than it was and it is getting better by the day
  • I miss my Grandmother like crazy
  • The only thing in life that I want is to be a Mother
  • I played collegiate soccer and had a blast
  • I had back surgery at the age of 20
  • I graduated college in 4 years
  • I wish I knew what I wanted to be when I "grew up"
  • I love photography and hope to be photographer someday
  • I want to become a better blogger
  • I love chocolate
  • When I was 13, I won and contest and received a phone call from Jonathon Taylor Thomas who was my teenage crush
  • I eat ridiculous amounts of chicken
  • I am still learning things about myself
  • I never knew getting pregnant could be this difficult and heartbreaking

This is me in a nutshell. I'm sure I could go on and on. If you'd like to know more, please ask. I'm pretty much an open book (not completely though).

San Diego

Was a like a little slice of heaven. I fell in love with this city.

I've been dying to go there for years but when living in NY, California isn't really a hop, skip or jump away.

Now, that we live in AZ, it's not really any of those three above either but it is a mini days drive away and that is good enough for me!

We decided to go for our 2 year anniversary on Memorial Day weekend, which was a few days after our actual anniversary but I didn't care. We left Saturday AM and came back Monday evening.

We had a blast. Our hotel wasn't as nice as I had anticipated but I was ok with that since we weren't spending much of our time there.

So, Friday once we got there, we checked into the hotel then went down to the Gaslamp District, walked around and had a quick dinner then went to the Padres game. Wow...what a cool stadium that was. VERY family/kid oriented. Then we went back to our hotel and ordered pizza and just vegged.















Saturday we went to Coronado Island. What a cute place this was. We decided that's where we want to retire. haha We'll see if that actually happens. Anywho......we drove around trying to find the perfect spot for the beach. We ended up having lunch, at a Pub that took FOREVER to get us our food then we parked and walked to the beach. AAAAAAAAAH, how I love thy beach.

We were there for about 3 hours. At first, I was freezing. I even had a blanket over me until we realized it was warmer if you laid down. haha We both ended up getting burnt but not too terribly bad. Then we went back to our hotel, got pretty and went to Ruth's Chris for our anniversary dinner. MMMMMMMMMM. It was delicious. My drink was the best part. haha














On Sunday we went to Seaport Village for a few hours and then drove home. I was surprised with all the Border Patrol stops but I guess when you can see the bordered fence in the desert, it's necessary. lol

I loved it and can't wait to go back.


































I know it's small but it says....
  • 3567 Immigration Arrests
  • 370 Criminal Arrests
  • 9952 Pounds of Drugs Seized

Pretty crazy they have seized that much drugs. Blew my mind!!
