Well, I may or may not have forgotten that this page actually existed. I use Facebook so much now, that I don't really use anything else on the computer.
Updates from my last post:
I've had my second baby! His name is Seth Gabriel and he's now 14 months. He's probably the most gogeous thing that has ever graced this planet. I can't believe I've been so lucky. I could never have imagined myself a better family. Alex is now 2 yrs and 2 months. He's walking, and somewhat talking. Oh, he says the usual stuff; bye-bye, mum, dad, uh-oh, look!, and nan, but he should be actually putting together sentences by now, which is probably my fault. He doesn't get to be around other children much.
But Alex is so smart! He really is. We say "bed", he goes and puts himself to bed. We say "teeth", he heads for the bathroom and waits. We say "shoes", he grabs his shoes, sits down and holds his foot out. "Car" has him standing at the front door, car keys in hand.
He also knows how to operate an iPod. Probably better than a lot of adults. Better than me, actually, cos I don't know how to take a photo of the screen and set it as a background, but he does. >.< He knows how to unlock the iPod, search through the menus til he finds the game he likes, then he launches it and plays it. He knows what games he needs help with (ie. the buttons are too small, or there are too many buttons and he doesn't know which to press.) He's just to fun to watch. His favourite game is Angry Birds. He just loves to see them get flung!
Alex also has an obsession with the movies "Cars". He could watch it 5 times over in one day and it wouldn't bother him. Most I've let him watch it so far, is 3 :P
I am now engaged to Chris and though I was hoping for a LONG engagement, but, due to family pressure, we've set a date. 18th February, 2012. Not long after the wedding, we'll be moving to QLD, which I'm excited, but REALLY nervous about. I've never really liked change. I love QLD, thogh, and I think it's be great for me. I've done nothing here in Vic but gain weight lately, and I'm starting to get so pale, I look dead. I've also got an Iron deficency, so i have dark circles around my eyes constantly. When we were up in QLD last Christmas, I lost some weight, I gained a light tan, and the dark circles went, so for my health, I think I need to go.
My sister is now living with us. She's had a lot of problems with mum, and now mum has had enough. We took my sister before mum killed her. :P She's been doing okay here, except for a few hiccups and the major tantrum she threw last night. I think she thinks we'll get rid of her. Not happening. She does what she's told or things go badly for her. She's already grounded for a week.
Just brought a new bike and some baby bike seats, so we can go riding as a family, Chris takes Alex, I take Seth. We need to get my sisters bike so we can drag her along, too. I'm desperate to lose weight, but the motivation's just not there. I need to be pushed. Joined a gym that'll open in Traralgon soon. They have a free creche, and Zumba classes, so hopefully the times coincide. It'd work out so well for me if it did. I even told Chris that if I wasn't the weight I want to be by the time the wedding comes around, it's cancelled.
Now, I'm looking for a job, and thinking about going for a loan for a house. Although, as Chris said, is there a point to buying a house when we're moving in a year and a half? He has a point, but I'd really love to have my own house. Something about it's clawing at me. I know we'll have one in QLD, but that's not now. If I can't get a house, we're going to get a new car. The 5 of us BARELY fit into the nissan pulsar we have, so we're looking to get a 7 seater FWD. We need room for all of us, especially since we're talking about having another baby. If we do, that'll be 5 of us + my sister. Need a bigger car. We're getting a second car in 2 weeks, so that'll help, but I don't want to take 2 cars everywhere.
Well, I think I've exhausted my brain for now. I'm definately going to update this more often. Facebook's not used for this kind of thing.
Catch yas!
