Our Decision

Jaime and I tried for a baby this past month.I was nervous scared and  kept telling myself things of all the possiblities that could happen. Mind you, this is the first time in 4 years that we are "trying" to have a baby. So this was a pretty huge deal. After many tries, I realized the following week I began to feel backache and a lot of cramping. I automatically knew why. We had failed to make a baby. I Text Jaime(I would have cried if I had called him) and told him the news. To say I was sad was an understatement. I just thought that we would be an exception to everyone else who would have trouble getting pregnant. I hope that we didn't wait too long to give our daughter a sister, because I think that would hurt even more. What makes this even more sad is that Megan knew we are trying to get her a sister and knowing we failed to give her that really hurts. Sooooooo........ On July 28, at night Jaime and I decided that it was time to try and have a baby. I do

"The Special Month"

*This is where I get personal.*  Written July 11th We are the type of couple who like to plan for things. Like take for example, our school situation. The plan was that Jaime was going to go to school first and when he finished I was going to go. So that plan has came through and we are down to my last three semesters of school until I receive my Bachelors in the Spring. Another example would be Megan...she was a very planned baby:) There are many example but these were the big ones. The more recent plan has been baby making #2. Oh I know what your thinking....oh baby talk again......nope not this time. Well, not really. I have this plan for school, work and Megan's school year. I have already expressed in a previous post about my plans about Megan's schooling. My plans for school and work is for me to to be certified and start teaching by next August. That's best case scenario. So it was like a week ago, I realized that everyone and their mothers(not really their mo

A little Judgemental

* I think I may offend someone but this is just how I feel on the matter I think we all have done it. We have judge someone by the way they look. For me its more of a matter of what if this person is a bad person and runs after me and takes me away type of thing. I don't mean judging like they are less of a person if they have tattoos and a cut up shirt. I don't like to judge a man/woman buuutt I think there are some exceptions,especially when you think you may be in danger. You know how when in the movies a girls is walking at night and there is a group of biker guys and then a lady walks by them and something bad happens to her because she was taught not to "judge" a person. I think we have that instinct when the time is right to judge a person. I'm not saying that every biker is a bad person....but I think there are certain times when a person should judge the situation at hand. I have been meaning to type this post for about a year now, and I have been th

What's in a name......

This is a post that I have been wanting to write for quite some time. All of y'all know my husbands name is Jaime. I'm going to take a wild guess that you all are pronouncing it like (Jay-Me). I guess you can say I like that too. The way most people (and I) pronounce it  is like (high-meh). I'll tell ya why. I think you all know that we are Mexican-Americans. Born here, but grandparents are from Mexico. So the way we pronounce our names are different. People say my name weird too. They pronounce it as (Dee-ah-na), the spanish way. I hate when people call me that. My name Is Diana (Die-ana) the English way.  The English name to Jaime is "Jim". Yep Jim:) Pretty cool huh? I just wanted to clear that up:) I sometimes call him "Jim" when I'm being adventurous, but that hardly ever happens.

This week was an important week. Reason one: I cant tell you untill August and Reason two: it is the week of my practice PPR test. All week I have been telling myself, I'm pretty sure I know my stuff, I just need to study a little bit. I was so pumped to take the test, then the night before the test I started to freak out.    Before I tell you my freak out Jaime and I spoke about what I should do if I was to pass it. Should I take the real test and hope to god that I pass it, or should I wait until I take more practice tests and then take the real test. We both agreed that we should ask our family member that are teachers and also ask my advisor. Back to my freak out: So....I asked myself what if I only got 10 right (there's 90 in all) what would I do now? I told Jaime about what I was feeling and he told me that everything was going to be o.k, that I was going to do great. I only had 4 hours of sleep that night. Next day I took my test and was running on 4 hours of sle

 I know that my blog has consisted of only books and well, that's pretty much it. Nothing much has been going on in our lives. Just the usual and I wont bore you on that so I'm going to give you the highlights on IG. Megan watches youtube like it's no ones business. She really likes youtube and she will watch anything girly and cute. There is one video with japanese girl that is openeing a pack of gummy candy from Japan. Megan has been begging for us to buy her that candy. We have been searching for this gummy candy and have still yet to find it. Until I searched on Amazon(duh) and found it. Problem was it was only sold in Japan...which made sense. It is a Japanese Candy. The candy was not expensive...the shipping however was 5 times the amount the candy was for. Talk about CRAZY! We finally recieved the package in 5 days (expedite shipping). Megan was so excited and she had fun with the candy. Side note Kit Kats in Japan have many different flavors...I think we got

Baseball game & fireworks (4th of July)

To be completely honest, I thought it was going to rain. It usually always rain here on 4th of July. I think there has only been one year when it didn't. Yesterday was actually kind of a perfect day. It wasn't hot at all, and it was super cloudy outside && semi-windy! It was an amazing day. We didn't leave our house till about 5pm, we pretty much stayed at home till then watching The Sandlot(awesome movie). Our plan was originally to go to a park festival in the next town but as we were driving, Jaime suggested we go see a baseball game. After the baseball game there are usually fireworks afterwards. Game was fun. I think Megan really liked the fact that we were able to eat some snacks. She was just having fun eating the snacks. The game was pretty fun. I'm pretty sure we lost (we didnt stay for the whole game) but it was so much fun teaching Megan a little bit about baseball. We have been watching The Sandlot for a couple of days already so she kind of kne

Harry Potter: The Tales of Beedle the Bard -J.K. Rowling THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD, a Wizarding classic, first came to Muggle readers' attention in the book known as HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Now, thanks to Hermione Granger's new translation from the ancient runes, we present this stunning edition with an introduction, notes, and illustrations by J. K. Rowling, and extensive commentary by Albus Dumbledore. My Review: It has been years since Ive read the last Harry Potter. I missed Harry Potter, and reading this brought back all the adventures I embarked with Harry Potter:) These short stories remind of the little fairytales we "muggles" would hear from our parents when we were younger. Just listen -Sarah Dessen When Annabel, the youngest of three beautiful sisters, has a bitter falling out with her best friend—the popular and exciting Sophie—she suddenly finds herself isolated and friendless. but then she meets Owen—a lo

I know Ive been MIA for awhile on blogging. Its been pretty bad over here. I mean school and with my reading. I hate that I am not reading my books as much. I wasn't able to read The Vacancy which I felt terrible for because J.K. Rowlings was one of my favorite authors growing up. I will post up another review sometimes this week on the next set of books I have read. I have a couple of books that I wanted to do a little review on. Its been awhile since Ive done a review on books, so here it is:)   Fan Girl by Ken Baker Amazon: While staring you straight in the eye, far above the tips of her Toms, Josie Brant would swear that she does not like Peter Maxx, the teen sensation who causes every girl within a 100-foot radius to scream at ear-shattering decibels. Even if Josie may completely, totally, and unequivocally be his biggest fan. So when Josie finds out her best friend has won a contest to meet Peter by stealing one of Josie’s songs, Josie is overwhelmingly shocked
