Awkward Teen Experience- Losing your virginity.

When I was around 13 I used to hang out with a bunch of older skater boys. I was really intrigued by them, and I wanted to be cool. I was around them wherever they went and tried things I shouldn't and was just a little punk. It was really fun and I honestly wouldn't take it back because just like I said, it was fun and I learned a lot about life and stuff.

I was dating one of them and as corny as this may sound, I was in love! I was in love as much as a 13 year old girl could be. He was 15, tan, funny, handsome, and an awesome graffiti artist (duh!). We shared all the same music tastes and he was the best skateboarder in my town. I thought about him incessantly and we spent almost every waking moment together. We were boyfriend and girlfriend for around 6 months and it all started during the summer. Aren't summer romances so intense? It was for us. So many chest squeezing love confessions to each other. So damn dramatic. 

He was the first person I had ever had sex with. Just like everyone else, I remember my first time very vividly. That morning I was getting ready for the day at my Granny's since I had spent the night there, and I called him asking if he wanted to hang out. I walked to his house and his mom was gone for the day. He had pulled out the sofa bed. All romantic like. Oh god. So freaking awkward. You can guess the rest.

I sometimes think about him actually. And he just added me on Facebook not too long ago.

The Final Countdown.


Oh man, so, life is about to get a little crazy around here. We're only a few short weeks away from being out of the military and then on our way to California! I'm so excited! I just get this feeling that our lives will finally officially start. I've been married for 7 years, but everything has felt so temporary. I'm ready to start digging my roots in somewhere and just be settled. The past 4 years of Josh's Air Force life has been crazy. So many deployments and just random moving around. I know this is no news for other military families, and I've even gotten a few comments about how I shouldn't even share my feelings on this subject, but FUCK IT. I don't care. I'm ready to be done with this. It's not for us at all. 

EDIT: I didn't specify where I was moving to. MOVING TO COVINA!

No structure.


We don't really have that much of a morning routine like some families. It's usually roll out of bed, hang out in our pajamas until late afternoon, eat breakfast and cuddle, and watch some toons. After all those things, Wyatt takes a nap around 1 and I get showered and work on stuff for clients... maybe blog, and then once he wakes up we play and run errands if we need to. I don't think I'm much of a structure person but I'd probably do really well with some... but I don't even know how to MAKE myself be on a schedule. I'd much rather just be go with the flow on things. 

But not having structure sometimes makes me feel lost! I feel like things are so chaotic around me. Messes everywhere, so many little projects. I don't know how some of you moms do it. I feel like I'm an all or nothing kinda person. I can either give my all to my child or my all to the house. But never both. So naturally I choose Wyatt, but then the rest of life really suffers from all the neglect. 

This post is going all over the place! I just wanted to share with you some things I've been struggling with lately. Just feeling like things are a mess. No structure, not sure I can have any, and considering ways to get some in my life. Alright. OUT.

Everyone should use Copygram and here's why...


Have I mentioned how much I effing love instagram? Like, honestly guys, I could never give it up. I love the fact that we can document our days with random pictures. Anything from what we're eating to pictures of our kids being cute. I love love love it! And if you were curious, my username is irocksowhat so search for me if ya want! 

I found the BEST online instagram viewing format ever created in life. It's called Copygram and yes, it's like Ink361 and Statigram... but it's better than those sites because you can BACK UP ALL OF YOUR PHOTOS AT ONCE through Copygram! All you have to do is go to the "back up photos" tab and it'll email a zipped filed to your email. So yeah. That's like the most amazing thing I have ever heard! I actually get nervous about losing photos all the time because my iPhone/instagram has really become a way that I document my son's life. 

Oh, and if you thought that wasn't awesome enough, you can ORDER PRINTS through Copygram as well. Want magnets? Yes, Copygram will give you magnets. Want a photo book? Yes, and that too. Are you sold yet? I love this site! And no, no one paid me or asked me to blog about them. I just really think it's the best online instagram viewing site out there. Okay, I'm out!

Virginia Zoo!


We headed to the zoo on Saturday and it was a really fun time. My sister and her husband and baby came along and we all just hung out. We hadn't been to the zoo since this past summer, so Wyatt was older and more into it this time around. His favorite was probably the giraffes and he thought they were pretty funny. But for the most part, he was just stoked to be able to walk around all by himself. 

For those that didn't know, my sister announced her second pregnancy on her blog! We're all very excited for her and Michael. Quentin has been such a good baby, I can only imagine how awesome the next one will be. :)

100 Cars for Good


I've been working with the Toyota Women's Influencer Network and I couldn't be more excited about it. I just wanted to take a minute to share with you the Toyota 100 Cars for Good campaign. It's a really awesome cause and I really encourage you all to check out this video. I honestly don't know of any car companies doing something like this, especially in this economy. I'm excited about going out to L.A. in a few weeks to see what Toyota's all about. I'll keep you all posted.
