Pregnancy Psychic?
My Grandma has always had dreams or premonitions when someone in the family got pregnant. I've had a couple about friends getting pregnant and sure thing, within a few months they were. I had a dream last night that a family member was pregnant. Goodness, wouldn't it be funny if I inherited that trait from my Grandma?! Other than the pregnancy part, it was a very silly dream about my sister and I wrestling around and laughing really hard. It made me miss her very much. At one pint, I shouted that I had ruptured my spleen from laughing and wrestling so much. Oof. I miss being near my family.
The best big sister a girl could ask for<3

Pumpkin Patch!
We went to a local pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to share some pictures with you guys :)
ve sized pumpkin :)
<333
she was pooped after all of the excitement!
It's the end of October...
It's the end of October and I find my self wondering where has this year gone?! This has been a year full of blessings! Biggest of which is my daughter, VaughnEmery Eunice. I am amazed by her dozens of times throughout my day. Watching her focus on things and making tiny little connections in her brain is an absolute thrill. She was sitting on my tummy last night and Nathan and I started talking about how just yesterday (or so it feels) she was in my tummy, and now she is beginning to crawl! Yes, crawl! I'm already having to chase after my baby. I suppose this is how it will continue to be until she is about 20. She is not even six months old and I am incredibly proud of her every achievement. She is the very best part of me and I am so lucky to have her. I am so fortunate to be among the sleep deprived and spit-up covered elite group of mothers. Even when she has a stinky neck, I could just smell her all day! (and put her in a bath hahaha) I get so excited once the end of naptime comes around. She gets so happy to see me when she wakes up. I get her big "mama only" smile. I like to think it's a special type of smile specifically reserved for me. Mama and her baby, best friends<3
My husband is my rock. He has such a beautiful and simple way of looking at people and situations. He is so accepting and sincere. He and I will have been married for three years come January. Married! It seems crazy to me. I get worked up pretty easily and he always has a way of letting me see other sides that I had never even considered. I only hope that those qualities will rub off on Ve and myself over the years. Nathan is a Sergeant now! My husband, Sergeant Berry. It even sounds sexy! Hahaha
I have been looking into schools in Colorado and reading about certain courses. Hopefully, I'll be able to do most of my schooling from home, that way Ve doesn't have to go to daycare. The thought of someone else caring for her makes my heart sink and I get somewhat panicky. If I can't do my schooling online, then I suppose it will have to wait until we are back in Nevada so that my parents can care for her. Oh, my parents! They are ridiculous when it comes to spoiling their granddaughter! Hahaha I am in no way complaining, I think it's so funny. We receive packages on a regular basis from GG, pop pop, grammy and tata. Always special treasures and too cute outfits. I don't think that I will even need to buy 6-9 mo. clothes for her!
Like I said, lucky.

My first post.
I've dabbled in blogs before, but always found myself dwelling only on the negative when I sat down to type. Let's hope that this tends to be a happier place than LiveJournal.
A big positive in my life is the fact that I've decided to take my fitness and health very serious. I have been going to the gym 4-6 times a week for a couple of months and have started to see real progress. In doing this, I have found real excitement in pushing my body. I'm no stranger to pushing the limits for myself and body, only I have never focused it in the shape of my body. Mainly, because I have never had to try to keep a decent body. I had always been a slim girl, but never really in shape. I am eating clean and taking supplements that are helping move along the process. I never was very good with patience.
The day that I gave birth I weighed 178lbs. I was 55 inches around at my navel, and wearing a size 10 pant. About eight weeks ago when I started going to the gym, my body fat was at 37%. After three weeks, I had already lost 10%. This has been no easy task! Last week, I asked a trainer to do my measurements so I can better track my improvements. They are as follows:
I've started to train for my first ever triathlon. It's a sprint distance, but it'll still be very difficult for me. It's 12.5 mile bike, .5 mile swim, and 3.5 mile run. I think that the running will be the hardest part.
That's enough blabber for now, not because I don't have more to say, but because I just looked at the time and I have to get ready to go to the gym! :)
Until next time!
