I was driving in the car recently with my young nephew, who just turned 4 years old this past June and we had the sweetest conversation that I thought I should share. To set up the conversation, we just got in the car and started driving to our destination when my nephew started singing, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
ME: Is that what you are going to sing when Christmas comes around?
My Nephew: Yes and I already know what I want for Christmas too!
ME: What do you want for Christmas? (secretly wanting to know since Christmas is rolling around and I wanted to know what to buy him)
My Nephew: All I want for Christmas is memories.
(I have to admit, I was shocked and touched. I thought, aww my nephew is so sweet and loving what more can an aunt ask for......)
ME: Awww, all you want is memories that's so nice.
My Nephew: Yeah, I want Alien memories.
ME: Wait, you want what?!
My Nephew: I want Alien memories. (Ok, this conversation got creepy real quick)!
ME: How do you get Alien memories?
My Nephew: Oh, you just ask Santa
ME: OK, that sounds pretty interesting. You make sure to tell Santa to bring you that then.
My Nephew: I also want socks. (Awww, there he goes again being so humble)...and new shoes and a bike and a scooter! (Oh wait that makes more sense for a 4 year old).
ME: You just got new shoes
My Nephew: Oh Just Kidding...What do you want for Christmas?
ME: All I want for Christmas are loving memories with my family, that is all I want.
My Nephew: Awwww that's so sweet. Why don't you ask Santa for a new bike too, like me, so that we can make memories together then?
HAHAHA, my dear sweet nephew, he always manages to put a smile on my face and hopefully, he was able to do the same to you, even if it was only for a brief moment....Until next time beloved!

Where have I been?
Hello my wonderful friends around the world! Sorry it's been awhile since we last spoke, but I've been so busy this month!! For one I started my new job; YAY! My first day was Monday and I gotta say it was a pretty awesome day! I had to be at the training site at 7:00a.m. So I woke up at 4:30 ( haven't done that in awhile) and was out of my house by 5:45a.m. I was so worried because according to my husband I have no sense of direction ( woman driver, blah blah) and I always get lost. He was originally suppose to drive me the 40 miles, but he is continuing to care for our nephew so we agreed it would be easier if I just rove myself. So off I went with my GPS in hand and ready to launch out on my new adventure, when all of a sudden I had to make an abrupt stop, about face and head back to my house because I forgot the car keys in the house and to top it off I locked the door from the inside before I went to the car, so there I was banging in the washroom for my husband to come open the front door and give me the keys ( hope I didn't wake the neighbors)?! Once I was back on track, I headed towards my destination and only had to turn around once, because I missed my turn to change freeways and had to get off and turn around again. Thankfully I made it to the training site with time to spare and I had a wonderful first day!
My trainer looked and acted like George Lopez ( for those of you who don't know him, he's a Latino comedian actor) so my day was spent mostly smiling and laughing. After training I came straight home without any delays and I patted myself on the back for finding my own way home without any help :D I'm a little worried though because they are saying if we can't cut it, then they are letting us go and I just hope I can keep up?! I'm putting my faith in The Lord though, because he got me this far and I am trusting he will give me the strength to do what I need to do.
Another reason why I am so busy is because this is actually my birthday month!!!! Hip, hip Hurray I'm turning into an old fart! Well almost anyway; I'm turning 30, but I feel more like 50; hopefully this new job will whip me into shape with all the walking and lifting I will be doing?
Since this is such a milestone birthday, I decided to go crazy and throw myself a birthday party to celebrate. The theme is "Mad Hatter wonderland tea party," I don't know how I'm going to decorate or anything, but I know we are still tight with money so I'm baking my own birthday cake and also having a birthday cake bake off challenge so I can have lots of desserts and birthday cakes with having to spend hundreds of dollars. My total budget I am giving myself is $200 that's with a cushion, so lets see if I make it below budget and still have an awesome birthday party. Well I gotta get back to all my planning; wish me luck!...... Until Next time my beloved

Today's Adventure
Hallo!!! Guten tag! Wie ghets? Hope all is well with all of you friends around the world? I know it's been awhile since we last have spoken but oh how the time flies!! So many wonderful things have been going on, I don't know where to begin?!
To start off I got a job!!!! Yay! FINALLY, so now you guys can stop hearing about how I have no j-o-b..LOL! It's with the post office and I couldn't be happier, because I pretty much am going to get paid to work out! I start training on March 4th and I just hope that I, strong enough to keep up, because they informed us that if we fail the training, we are going to be automatically fired (yikes)!!!! Nevertheless, I'm counting down the days and after a year of being out of the game, I can't wait to jump back in!
Being that I'm going back to work, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to provide childcare for my nephew anymore :( my husband is taking over and I just hope he doesn't slack off on all the work I've been doing with him, such as lessons, activities, exercise, etc. I have every faith in him though ( but I left him a survival guide just incase).
Since I've been getting ready to go back to work (I.e. making notes for my husband everywhere and trying to get used to going to bed and waking up early) I have also been going into over drive trying to do as many things with my husband and nephew, since I pretty much will be working six days a week and won't have another vacation anytime soon.
We went to Disneys California Adventure last week and enjoyed a nice relaxing day walking around the park and since today was such a beautiful warm day, I decided to take everyone to the petting zoo! I actually seen a sign for it a couple of years ago and always wanted to go, but never had time. And then when I lost my job ( ok hopefully this will be the last time, that sentence will ever be said..heehee) anyway, I didn't have the money, but since I'm starting my new job next week ( yay) I'm considering this my vacation and to be on the safe side, we cashed in all of our recyclables we've been saving for a special occasion and off we went!
We've never been there before so we didn't really know how to get there and our GPS seemed as though it was sending us to the outskirts of town?
We were driving a little slower than usual trying to find the right street to turn down, when all of a sudden a car started honking at us from behind? My husband does this thing whenever this happens, which is that he starts to drive even SLOWER to piss off the drivers more, then when they pass us and start flipping us off, he just smiles and waves at them. So today was just one of those occasions and when the car pulled next to us and expectedly flipped us off, etc. my husband smiled and waved and said Bye! And from the back seat, I heard a small bye!! And when I turned around, our nephew was copying my husband and waving out the window....I started laughing at this precious moment and told my husband, " at least you're being a good example this time!" Eventually, we found our destination and it was actually part of this park and it was like and enchanted place that I, nor my nephew wanted to leave! It was so awesome! They had every animal, from an Emu all the way to a Zebra! And then they had pony rides, train rides, merry go round, gem stone find area and a fishing area. We had a grand old time and all we spent for the three of us and all the activities was $22; that sounds like my budget!
After our fun adventure, we came back home and enjoyed the memories we made....Until next time my beloved.....
