Juney June June

Happy June 1st!
I started my blog about a month ago. pretty wild. Thanks for reading...

Dale left monday for Virginia, leaving me out here in Clovis with Ry for two weeks. The first night, not gonna lie, really drove me crazy. I felt like I had too much time on my hands, and I felt pretty sad to be alone. Luckily all military spouses know how I feel, and I have some friends that are so sweet and willing to let me hang out! After monday night, I have been feeling a lot better tho. I don't feel like im going crazy now, and I feel like I love keeping my house clean. I don't make a big mess by myself. =) But I do hope i get a virginia T shirt as a suvenier. lol. Then on Tuesday, it was Rylee's first day at her new daycare on Base. ahhh poor baby wasn't having it. She was so upset the daycare actually called me around 130 in the afternoon to ask what I usually do to console her, they said she had been crying for a long time and wasn't sure what they could try at this point. Im not sure if its just me, but as her mom I felt just AWFUL.
1 I feel bad because I don't want her to cry that much
2 i feel bad for the girls watching her having to hear her cry so long
3 it honestly hurts me that she was so sad for so long. my lil baby, i could cry right now just thinking about how it makes me feel.
I was ready to go get her at that point, but I was working and tried calling back about 45 minutes later. They said she was fine that i don't need to come get her. but GOsh its a bad feeling to get a phone call because your baby is upset. After I picked her up from daycare yesterday, I swear she did not cry ONCE with me. Even when I was putting her down to bed, Rylee ate her bottle and passed out. She usually always sleeps 8 hours or more, and she did. A beautiful 9 hour slumber. I couldn't believe how content she was with me after a long day like that. but im glad she was still her normal self when she was with me. I think she forgave me.
Today was day 2 at daycare. and all the girls said she was good today, didn't have any problems or a phone call. The lady I talked to had told me that sometimes it can take a week or so for an infant to adjust to a new daycare. Just with the environment and new people. Not only that, but the new daycare has so many different rules and regulations then the one off base had. CHanging a routine is very hard especially with a baby.Anyways, there I go going on and on about my baby as always!!!

On another note. I smashed my mother effing finger at work today and I now have the biggest blood blister I have ever seen in my life. Its throbbing, and it hurts. I hope hope hope that my finger nail doesn't end up falling off ugh. And im going to Arizona next weekend for a short trip home! I can't wait. Lots of familia to visit tho which will be very hectic. But Im sure we will be fine. Then, about 3 weeks later Im going to CALI BABY! YES Icannot wait to see the ocean. I miss the beach so much! i need to go spend time with mommy. Rylee misses her gramma and grandpa!
I looked at paint for my house, I think im going to do a very light shade or blue, where it almost looks gray (thanks camille for helping me look), but Im not going to paint until dale is here to help me and pick out the color. He is so good and painting and doing house work. Definitely a good roomate to have!

I love being away from home because my life feels so laid back, but I miss home so so so much. i miss my friends. and i miss that rylee isn't hanging out with other peoples babies to. she needs to know babies her age in az to!!! anyhow.
I miss a lot of people and things. but life is so good. Another month of 2011 and its half way gone. Where does the time go?

A few Random GoAls....
*Talk to an advisor
*Stay away from Sweets
*get my chubby butt to the gym
*get rid of Rylees rash on her neck
*chose a final color to paint the living room
*save money! (after my az trip and cali trip, no more vacas for a while =()
*text some of my favorite people I haven't been talking to as much lately.

Colorado Springs Trip!

We spent last weekend out in cOloRaDO SpRiNGGS with melissa!!! She took care of us, and made us the best food ever! I fell in LOVE with it out there! I would just up and move there if we could. If we were stationed there I'd be the happiest person in the world! The scenery was absolutely perfect, still some snow on the mountains, and everything was GREEN! It was a six hour drive up there from Clovis, but it wasn't a bad ride at all. A MUCH nicer drive then to Arizona. From desert to desert just isn't that fun! Rylee does so good whenever we make road trips. If she's awake she doesn't mind playing and keeping calm. She loves to travel like mama and daddy! Our breakfast was so yummy! Dale got to go riding! I haven't seen him smile so big in a long time, and it made me fall in love with him all over again =)... While he was riding Rylee, Mel, and I were all trying to be photographers, but our angle and timing kind of sucks. . . its so nice to have a weekend get away and just feel legitimately happy. Anyways, Melissa my stressed out wells fargo love had plenty of time for us over the weekend to! Everytime Rylee would look at her she would smile so big!! And she made banana and macadamia nut pancakes, her yummy salsa (that was to hot for dale), and a yummy lunch! We were spoiled, it was soo effin good! We went driving around the town and up on the mountain, we got to see some really bad ass houses, and greenness everywhere. Ah I'm so in love, and I already want to go back and visit!!! Ry Loved Colorado to. She got a new stroller (Just a small travel size one). Damn, i should have got her a onsie that said colorado on it. lol jk. Ashley and now Melissa know better than everyone, but when I go into bigger cities I love shopping. Here in clovis we are deprived of any shopping, not even a target here!!! We didn't shop as much as I wanted to, but I loved Target, and being able to eat at PF Changs. its about time we drove our butts up there, but too bad we took forever and didn't get to Visit Rosebowl and CHris while they were up there. I miss them! And Sorry guys lol.

THE DAY AFTER WE GOT BACK from Colorado was Ry's Half-Birthday, lol, and I sent dale to take her to her six month check up. I had a list of questions to ask the doctor, and I wrote a to do list while he was there. I couldn't get off work early and on base the scheduling and trying to get an appointment is always a difficult task! Anyways, Dale went to the appointment, and guess what? He forgot the list I wrote out for him! And on base it's kind of weird because you have to go to "Immunizations" to get shots, the pediatrician doesn't do them there. So he forgot to get rylee's shots! lol. MEN, jk, I love you Dale =) but i was definitly not surprised that he forgot things.

ANd now, its Wednesday.
THINGS TO DO:
Gym - Check
On Base Daycare Paperwork- check
Get Rylee's Shots - check
Go to the Library for Dale's exciting event he is planning - check
COME HOME FROM THE LIBRARY WITH 15 books for Dale to read - CHECK

hahaha it was so awesome to walk in the library and find a stroller full of books oh and rylee. lol. I should have taken a picture, but he said no more "social networking" until he reads all of them!!! Ha ha omg I love him =) And while he has a crap load of reading to do, I got a cook book so I have something to do! It's The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook and Im going to try to make dinner every night for dale for the rest of the week, then he is gone for two weeks, and then start again for him when he gets back! He leaves monday (memorial day) for two effin weeks to Virginia for a TDY... so me and ry bug get to come home to AZ For a three day weekend! WoO! But I dont know what Im going to do every other day he is gone... maybe ill go shopping and start decorating the house! OH, speaking of decorating! I want to redecorate Ry's WHOLE room in black in pink, (instead of brown and pink), and we are trying to decide a theme for the living room! ANY IDEAS? I'm kind of thinking PARIS would be cute. But hmm, Im not sure.

If you read my blog, I love you! =)

AND

ThANK YOU MELISSA FOR TAKING CARE OF US! We will be coming again very soon I hope!

Yoooo

So I thought I'd have so much to blog about, but I really don't! Plus! I can hardly figure out how to use this crazy website, I cam navigate better on my phone then I can on my computer! Anyways, Ry bug is so close to sitting up on her own! Time is going by so extremely fast it's unreal. She will be crawling in no time, then be asking if she cam have a boyfriend. Dale has already grounded her for that

. Wow having a little girl is such a crazy thing. One day she will need a bra, and boy advice, and start wearing make up. My Lil baby is going to grow up one day. Aww. She will need help getting ready for dances, and probably get in to trouble with Jenna Wong (her best friend) lol. Wow I'm pretty emotional right now/today. I hope that my baby always knows I love her, and I hope she likes hanging out with me when she is older.
My dad had a nickname for me when I was a little girl, "pepis" and when I was 12 I got embarrassed when he called me that in front of my friends, and I asked him not to call me that anymore. He was really shocked when I asked him that, and now that I'm older, I totally understand why he would be sad about that. It makes me feel sad. I feel like a jerk!

***some more random thoughts,... I'm glad that found Osama, but I'm scared to death that DaleDo is going to get deployed. I hope nothing crazy happens now that he is gone :(. Anyways, i miss Ashley! ALSO, I'm thinking about how funny it is to look in old year books. Not only the pictures, but what all your friends wrote and signed in there. I pulled out my sophomore year book today and it was hilarious. All my friends that I've known since high
school... I love you

---may first

Celeste FINALLY talked me into making a blog. I hope that I can commit to doing this. Hers is so dang cute, I wanted to try one out to.

* Anyways, today was Rylee's first day going out to the dirt bike track to watch Dale race!!! She slept the first four hours, but did really good out there! She can sleep to the sound of dirtbikes which is good! lol. she cracks me up! The little monkey was smiley and happy the rest of the day! (Both Dale and Rylee). It was a really good day out there, but it was FREEZING! 50 Degrees on may first! That is ridiculous! I miss AZ! Also, we officially bought our plane tickets to California! We will be out there for the 4th of July! Woo I can't wait, and I'm trying to talk Dale into going to Six Flags. I keep thinking about how I want to go on roller coasters so bad! Maybe the thought of adrenaline? I don't know.

*Random things on my mind: Andrea is going to Korea this summer with the army, how wild, and scary! I hope people actually read my blogs, and I hope I figure out how to use this website! Rylee did not like eating carrots today! I watched the movie Love & Other drugs last night, and I really liked it! Dale leaves for Virginia for 2 weeks in June, and I hope I don't get scared or sad alone. Well Ashley is going to come visit me, then Dad is going to visit me the second weekend, so I guess I wont really be alone long at all.;LASTLY, I feel like drinking a beer with my steak tonight for dinner. lol.
