Day in the Life Vlog → Easter 2017 ←

Hello friends! I hope you are having a lovely day. I am back sharing a new vlog and week in review. It was a busy week. I didn't always pull the camera out but I did try to record a little more. Here's how last week went. 

There were lots of little moments this past week that melted my heart.

Ryan is so good with the kids. He loves little babies and always has. They love him too.

Remember when I was complaining that Baby Roman just wanted men besides his mommy? It took me forever to earn his trust and love. Ryan walks in....and it's over! They love him and that means a lot to me.

Also last week, after a long day at work....I enjoyed a long hot rock pedicure.

It was so nice. Laura went with me and we just had a relaxing day. My feet, legs and back were hurting and it really helped.

And of course we had Easter this past weekend. I got a lot of little baskets ready for everyone coming to dinner. So cute...

I got the table set early.

And then everyone came over. All the kids were dressed up. They were really enjoying the evening playing around and eating candy.

What a difference a year makes. Last year I was with Jackson and Zane. We had a early dinner at the Melting Pot while Scott came up here and got things ready for us to move. I honestly would have never thought that there would be such big changes in just a year. But I am ok. Better than ok actually. I have really tried to get my life together since we split up and since he died. I might not have the big house. I might not have the exact car I want to drive. But I do have the love of an amazing family. I have amazing friends. I don't fake my emotions. I don't try to make things out to be better than what they are. I try my hardest to do my best and be gracious.

This Easter was filled with all the kids with the exception of Jackson. He was with his father and while that upset me....I just went with the flow. Ryan has been in my life so long. It just feels so natural for him to be around. Everyone at the table below, I love.

I have a beautiful family. I know it and I don't take any of it for granted. I hope you all had a great Easter. Thank you for stopping by. I am not listing out all my to do's for this week due to time constraints. I'll be back soon! xx

Week in Review → Day in the Life Vlog!

Hello friends! It's no secret that I am behind on mostly everything when it comes to videos and this little blog of mine. This is not going to be some huge week in review like you guys are use to. Instead you are getting a " somewhat regular "....meaning nothing really exciting this week along with just a few photos. There are just not enough hours in the day! :) Here's what went on around here last week. Hope you enjoy. 

Life is pretty ordinary for me right now. Work...sleep...and repeat! But my schedule won't always be so crazy and hopefully I can get back on a schedule sometime in the near future.

On Tuesday of last week, I had traffic court. I hated the idea of even going. Court is never fun. It's never somewhere I want to be. I am always scared I am going to get the flu from the other people around. And I am always trying to find a way out of it.

Thankfully it wasn't as bad as I had imagined...right! I was there a total of 10 minutes and my ticket was dismissed. Fancy that!

That same day my boss bought us pizza's and it was so yummy. I had not been to Toppit yet being there are so many new restaurants that have popped up while I was gone. But I am really happy with my lunch!

They do a pretty good job of taking care of me at work. I can tell you this....I am never hungry! And if I am it's only for a few minutes until something is cooked up for me! Thank you Beth for this sweet surprise! 

There were plenty of nights when I watched Ryan sleep. He always looks so sweet and peaceful. I absolutely love this photo.

Those night have been followed by a lot of early mornings. However I do see some of the prettiest sunrises on my way to work.

There were also random Dr. appointments, running kids around trying to make sure they have everything they need. Jackson is really getting taller! I am so proud of him. Even though he likes to act like a tough guy a lot of times, I still see my sweet baby every time I look at him.

And he's pretty funny too! 

Some of my evenings have been occupied by the grand kids. Laura is working 2 jobs which means we all have to help out sometimes. And I love them so much that I am happy to help. Watching them grow up has certainly been a privilege. 

And guess who they really love! They were so calm that night. Then he walked in the door and it all changed! I think they could just feel his fun energy! 

It's important to me that our families like each other. I want us all to spend time together. I want family dinners, holidays together and I am so happy everyone has accepted Ryan the way the have. Mainly the kids. None of this has been easy. We are all just trying to make as many good memories as we can and see what the future holds.

Thank you guys for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with a new food haul. I hope you are having a great week. Hell, at this point we are already to the weekend! :) Have a beautiful and blessed day. xx

Week in Review/ DITL Vlog

Hello friends! I am so sorry to be at the end of the week posting this week in review. I feel like I have less and less time to get on here and share. I promise I am working hard on balancing out time. So this is how last week went... hope you enjoy! 

I am still trying to get caught up in basically every way. I have a pile of laundry waiting on me, this blog waiting on me, kids waiting on appointments to be made. Instead of stressing out, I am just slowly but surely getting around to everything. This week at work, I was given another day which means for a while I will be working 6 days a week. Thankfully I don't ever really have to work past 3 but it's just hard squeezing everything in.

Life is still going great around the apartment. I am thankful for all I have. For the family and friends that truly lift me up. I am doing well and it hasn't been easy. I have had to make a huge effort to stay positive. I dreamed of Scott for the first time here recently helping me believe he is ok on the other side. There is so much I wish I could say but at this point, it doesn't really matter. The kids and I are left here to pick up the pieces and go on. I hope to not only make Scott proud but also all my loved ones that are also gone. I know they are watching. And while it might be easy to breakdown and stay in bed, I feel a huge desire to push forward. I feel like with Ryan I have been blessed with a man who loves me again whom I adore. I know I am blessed and that is how I truly get through each day.

This is not my standard week in review. I am not listing out all the things I hope to accomplish this week because it's Friday already and I am actually editing a new vlog. But I just wanted to come share last week's. :) Thank you for stopping by today. I will have a new edition of Friday letters up in just a bit. xx

Week in Review w/ DITL Vlog! Nashville, Tennessee

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great day. I know that this week in review post is going up a bit late but we have all been dealing with the sniffles around here. Actually that's a nice way of putting it because I feel like all my senses in my body are being assaulted by the flu bug. I just haven't felt good enough to do hardly anything let alone post on my blog. But I feel a little better at least right now in this moment so I thought I would share my latest video. Here's how this past week went. Hope you enjoy....more is below! 

The beginning of the week went pretty normal. The mornings came with the sound of the alarm for both of us. We both worked a lot and played very little. There are some days when all I seem to do is get up and go to work and sleep. It's kinda different now not being home all day everyday. I don't really mind it really either. I like my job and I enjoy seeing the customers. So many of them come in everyday so they are quickly becoming friends. I actually feel blessed to be doing what I was so scared of. I am no longer nervous about working outside the home. I am no longer scared how I would live without Scott. I have had to pick up the pieces and put my life together on my own. I have had the help of amazing family and friends but it's really been me that has had to take ownership of my own life. It's been a long road but I am finally feeling content, safe, and somewhat on a regular schedule again.  However, we switched the routine and schedule up this past week. Ryan wanted to do a weekend getaway trip to Nashville, Tennessee. He was just ready to get away and cut loose a little. So in the middle of the week, we packed up the car and took off on a little road trip. 

We talked all the way there. I know so many of you want to get to know him better and want to see him on film more. I am just not sure that will really happen. He's much more private than I am and he didn't sign up to be on youtube. I have to respect that. Which is why you don't see him very much in the videos. I am not hiding when I am recording. He watches me edit each video and know's exactly what I am sharing. When or if ever he is comfortable being in the videos, I will share more. 

We stayed at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel. Its a big hotel and our room was really comfortable. I complained about not having enough hot water once, but that was it. We both liked the hotel. There is a big history about Maxwell House Coffee which was nice because I don't mind that kind of coffee. They had it stocked up in the rooms and it's the only coffee they served. And it was yummy! 

All through the hotel there is pretty cool art work. I loved walking around looking at it all. It was a charming place to be. 

 

We walked around the city. We enjoyed the night life that Nashville offers and just acted like tourists! I really enjoyed the break from real life. I love that he planned it. I love that he wanted me to go with him. I love that we made a lot of great memories. And I love that he wiped out his phone and snapped this photo of us. 

Ryan just is not that comfortable in front of the camera. I am trying to slowly change that. :) This wasn't a huge big vacation. This was a little weekend getaway and we both had a great time. However, I was feeling so sick from Friday on. I just had to take a ton of meds and I tried to not let it ruin the weekend. Ryan started feeling sick too. I think my little grand kids gave it to me, and I gave it to him. Needless to say, we were both happy to come home and rest. And even today, I am still dealing with the flu. :(
