Hola!
I hope that everyone has been having a great week. I have not had a super eventful week; mostly just continuing to go to the gym everyday and doing homework. This morning I ran across an article about a UNCW student spotting a great white shark near Wrightsville Beach this week! I thought it was so neat they were able to see that not too far from the beach. This is the link to the article; there is also a video they were able to capture. http://www.twcnews.com/nc/coastal/news/2017/03/29/great-white-shark-attacks-boat-of-uncw-student.html 
Here's a photo I took of Wrightsville Beach the other day while walking on the pier. I'm obviously way too excited to live so close to the beach, because it seems like I'm here once a week!

As I was driving I saw a big convoy of military vehicles manned by at least 4 young people in each. I prayed and wished that wherever they were going, they were ok and all of them could come back safe. I felt lucky and proud.

Hola!  So my baby is 11 months old (turned last week) and it makes sad actually.  Man they grow so fast.  There was picture day this week, and they did so good.  I've put those pictures in this blog today.  Harleigh is 3 years old, and Harper is 11 months.  It's a shot of the proofs, so the quality is not great.  My son turned 11 yesterday, and my biggest baby will be 18 this year.  I don't feel that old, but then I say I have a 17 year old, I get floored every single time. Haha.  So I started going to this place called Achieve Medical Weight Loss.  I go every Saturday morning for a B12/Lipo injection and weigh check, and I take a prescription of  Phentermine and Baricare Vitamin pack every morning.  I maxed my insurance out with my physical therapy, so I'm considering looking into the gastric sleeve surgery. I don't know, we'll see.  I have mixed feelings.  I seem to be doing good on this, last Saturday I was down a total of 8 lbs.  I don't really see/feel it except in my wedding bands (diamond does not stay on top, keeps swirling around my finger...it was a little big to start with, but it swirling around more) and I know it takes time.  Maybe I'll do a before/now picture on the last blog.  Have a great weekend!

Hola clase!

I have been enjoying moving into my apartment these past two weeks. It feels nice to finally be settled somewhere; I've already been to the beach twice! I have a feeling I will be spending all of my free time there this summer. I have also started at a new gym (trying to get back on track with my goals for the year), and I'm really enjoying it there. Tuesday my family came to visit, and we took a quick trip to the beach since it was 78 degrees outside. Here are a couple of photos that I took during our quick trip!

Hola clase!

I hope all is well with you all! As I was walking the loop at Wrightsville Beach the other day I saw these two colorful boxes on posts. I looked inside and its a little free library that you're suppose to give a book and take a book. I thought it was the coolest thing, if you ever get a chance to check them out you should! I think there are more downtown as well!

PRIMAVERA at Watson College

The flowers are so full of color and beautiful.  They make the building even more inviting.

Hola Clase!
Trying to enjoy Spring with the family during the weekend. This is a picture of me and my wife enjoying the weather which it was suppose to be warm. My wife and I are always sticking together taking random selfies. She also have been for me in the good and bad ways and is the one that advise me before we do any step to the future.

I'm so ready for warm weather. I've stained my deck and planted some flowers. I'm glad that the winter was mild but I worry about the summer. I hope it's not that hot. Disfruten el buen clima.

Hola Class,

¿cómo estás?

It seems like just yesterday that the pollen was falling and now my yard is covered in the seasons first snowfall. I am feeling the hour I lost creep up on me like the sand man has hit me with his entire bag of sand. I woke at 5 this morning thinking the time hadn't changed yet and  now feel the 4 AM reality. I have had so much going on lately between my four kids and my husband that I have fallen significantly behind. It looks as if I my be taking this class again this fall or summer in case my grade is too bad. I won't mind too much as the more practice I get the better my Espanol will be, huh.
I hope everyone is doing better than me at staying afloat. I also hope everyone got the much needed break this past week. I know after being sick with three different viruses/flu over the past month and my kids being sick and my husband's medical issues that I am really ready for summer. But I must say the snow is nice.

This month....

So I'm not sure what to say.  The baby stays sickly, and the photos I have are from last weekend when all she wanted to do was be help.  My 3 year old loves to play with the camera on my phone and one of her previous teachers got her liking this photo app (that we now of course have).  I ended last week very upset with news that my background check would not be back before it expired so I would not be allowed to work until it came it, and then there's a 15 day grace period that if it's not received by the 20th, I would be out of a job.  So, after my panic subsided I used this last week to clean up the house and get rid of a bunch of stuff.  We've been calling the state daily to hopefully "bug" them enough to get things moving (some of the new hires, I've seen them take weeks!) and they said they approved it and it was mailed out on the 8th.  I'm hoping it is in the mail today because as much as I loved the time at home and would love to be able to do that on a permanent basis, financially that is just not an option.  So here are some pictures of us playing around on the photo app.....yes I make pictures out of my sleeping baby....don't judge....lol .  Have a great week everyone.

Happy Spring Break!

I hope everyone else has begun celebrating their spring breaks like I have. I have been in Orlando, Florida for a couple of days. It seems I've been traveling a lot lately! :) I'm excited to leave tomorrow though, because I've ended my apartment search and will spend the rest of my break moving in. Hopefully everyone else has a wonderful spring break! Here's a photo of my boyfriend and I enjoying a Mardi Gras parade at Universal Studios last night.

My Life

I like to spend time with my two little because they mean everything to me. I try to enjoy with them all I can because life is only one and you don't get to repeat what you did that day.

This is my friend and colleague Candace "striking a pose" with the new Watson College T-shirt for the kick-off campaign of "Watson Wednesday."  Check out the WCE homepage for more information!
