dress up and ect..

Sooo i have had shingles..and today was my first day back to work. ughh i do not like work..in my perfect world i would be rich and not have to work and just be able to take care of my baby and not miss anything, he is growing up soo fast and i wish i could just make him freeze!! I can not beleive that in four days he will already be ten months! I have already started planning his birthday party. Well because of my shingles he is most likely going to get chicken pox and of course nick gets lucky and gets to miss those lol. I know he would give anything to be here and we would give anything also but he is pretty lucky to miss the sucky parts. Speaking of nick he is out on another mission..he is doing really good and he says he isnt as scared anymore. He says it is completly different than he expected and that he still has the worry but not as bad anymore. so that makes me feel better! I found an add on the internet about cruises and i decided that is what we are going to do for our honey moon if it is ok with nick ofcourse..

welll today was a long day for wyatt and i both. He does really good at daycare but i always feel bad when he has to be there all day with me. so when we got home i decided to have fun and play dress up. here are some of his outfits. i also painted his toe nails hot pink!! I could only imagine what nick would have to say about that hahaha. But i bet you anything one day i will paint nicks nails too!! Ohhh how i can not wait for the futur!!! :]

our lives together!

Yes love is in the air!! My mom, little sister, wyatt and i went to cali to visit nick in twentynine palms for a weekend. We decided to go to huntington beach for the day and play in the water..well it was the end of january so it was still pretty cold so i keep the little guy covered most of the time. Welllll.. at one point when i was changing wyatts diaper i get done and turn around and in the sand it said I LOVE YOU MARRY ME?!? shocked i looked up at nick as he was gettin down on one knee and he asked me to marry him!! i couldnt beleive it. i kept asking if it was real :] he picked out the most beautiful ring that i just love and i am soo excited to spend the rest of our lives together! Not only has he fallen in love with me but my son too. You would never be able to tell that nick is not wyatts biological father. He loves him like his own and that is a huge deal to me. I told nick from the begining that my son will always come first and it just happend to all come together. We have a happy little family together and i could ask for more. Well i guess that isnt true.. i pray everyday nick is safe over in afghanastan and is able to come home to us safely! he left at the start of the month and will be over there til november sometime. He is a combat engineer and drives the husky which finds IED's. Scary i know..i couldnt have fallen in love with a cook or somthing i had to fall for a bad ass. He makes us so proud!! I can honestly say i am going to marry my hero. I have only got to talk to nick twice on the phone since he has been over there. Facebook has been amazing to have during this time because he can get on the computer when he has time so we get to email which is very nice! I get on everyday to see if he wrote back so i spend a lot of my time waiting. But i know that it is all worth it! I think i have finally decided that we are going to get married in feb.. i have always wanted a winter wedding but being away from him this long has shown me that i dont care when i just wanna start our lives together. I am actually going to go look at a place to have the wedding and reception it is only 300 dollars to rent and you can have alcohol there. i hope i like it, lets cross our fingers! The wedding planning is going to keep me busy so that way i wont spend all day worrying about nick. Dont get me wrong he is always on my mind but i cant go through my whole day just thinking about how much i miss him when i cant change that he is over there. Well im going to try and keep this updated we will see how well i do that..
