OK OK. I know I haven't posted in a long while but here is what has been happening lately. So Disneyland has been postponed until September because I don't want to go in the heat and I am really hoping that I will be able to go through the San Diego Temple at the same time. I have started my temple prep class and I am really enjoying it and learning a lot. I am getting really excited to be able to go.

So I can't believe how wonderful 2010 has been so far and I am so excited and determined that the rest of 2010 is going to be just as wonderful.

So a little update on my New Years goals:

I got the bedroom set I wanted and I am loving it. Here are some pictures.

I have dropped some additional weight and I have dropped a size in pants so I am super excited about that and I can't wait to drop 3 more sizes.

I have also bought a new car. YEAH!!!!

I was able to trade in the Nitro and I got into a newer car. I love my new car.

Here are some new picture:

I got a tax refund which was so wonderful because I was able to get Hailee a new bed. :)

Yes here again there are more pictures.

Her bed has a trundle on it plus 3 storage drawers and Hailee loves it.

I can't believe how wonderful 2010 is turning out so far and I am really excited for the remaining months to come.

I just want to say thank you to everyone for their prayers and kind words that have been said in mine and Hailee's behalf. We love you all so much and look forward to many blessings to come.

We'Re gOinG tO DISNEYLAND!!!!

So I know before I said that I didn't want to go to Disneyland. What can I say... I changed my mind. My daycare lady is going out of town the week of June 4- 14 on a cruise with her family so I have a forced vacation because I don't have anyone to watch Hailee. I decided that because I will be out of debt by the end of next month that I would be able to save up and go somewhere fun. I couldn't think of anywhere else to go. What's even better is Hailee's best friend Cambree and her mom Melissa are going to be coming with us too so Hailee will be there with her best friend and it's both of their first times. I am so freaking excited I am just like a kid again. I haven't been to Disneyland in over 5 years. I am aslo hoping that my mom and dad (Paul) will be able to come to enjoy Hailee's first time there but if they can't then I will be taking plenty of pictures and you will all get to enjoy them.

The best part is that I am not going to tell Hailee at all until we get there. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Good Bye 2009 - Hello 2010!!

Words cannot express how greatful I am that 2009 is over and gone. I experienced some things that no person should ever have to experience in their lifetime. As I begin the long road to single mother hood I have had a lot of time to think about what I want out of life and what I want to be able to provide to Hailee throughout her life. I have finally come to some conclusion that the best thing I can offer her is a healthy mom. A mom that loves herself and that stands up for herself and doesn't allow others to treat her like garbage or to be a doormat for others.
I have made the decision that 2010 is going to be the year of Annie. This is my year. I am going to do what I want this year. I am going to enjoy this final year of my 20's and I am going to get closer to my daughter, family and hopefully my friends too. I am going to be the mom that Hailee deserves so hopefully I can teach her how she can be when she grows up so she will too stand up for herself and not have to experience anything like 2009 again.

Here are some of my New Year Resolutions:
1) - Get active in the church and do what I need to do to be sealed to Hailee in the San Diego Temple. :)

2) - Learn to love myself for the wonderful mother, daughter, sister, aunt & friend that I am.

3) - Get into size 10 (or smaller) clothing, AND feel comfortable in them.

4) - Buy me the bedroom set I have always wanted. ($2000) This is really the one I want.

5) - Go on at least one trip with Hailee just the two of us somewhere fun for Kids. Any ideas?? Somewhere a 4 year old would enjoy, but not Disneyland because she is too short.

Well as if that isn't enough I am sure I will think of more but that is all I am going to post for now. I hope to stay in contact with you all throughout 2010 and the years to come. I love you all so much and appreciate all of the love and support that I have received the past year.
