The New Tiffany

After long awaiting a chance, I am now officially a college student. I'm attending Devry University (online courses) as a full time student. I'm working toward my associates degree in Health Information Technology. In less then two years I will be working in health care offices with a desk job, ahhh, that sounds nice.. working with billing, scheduling and other "office" stuff. I'm super excited. I started on Monday, so this week so far has been, lets say "interesting"!! Trying to juggle being a stay at home mommy, wife, and student is quite a change from the past! I have been having to juggle dr. appointments, study time, and dinner, diaper changes and bath time and bed... jeez.. I'm just thankful to the Lord that i have such an awesome hubby who is helping me every chance he gets. That way i'm not up too late everynight gettin my class time in!
I recently chopped my hair off, which was hard because I have been growing it out since I got married.. SO almost three years with just trims.. She cut off about 14".. the longest my hair has ever been. Plus, I went back to blonde. like in highschool.. its been forever since i was blonde.. i like it and Carlos loves it. Bryce doesn't seem to mind!
Carlos and I are back to baby making.. that sounded funny. But we officially started again! its in the Lord's hands! So, i'll keep ya posted.. I know what you are thinking? why with school and your recent medical problems? I just want another lil baby in our lives. My cousin Charity just had her second. My cousin Dez is pregnant with her second. My brother is having his second around Christmas and Carlos's sister is having hers the beginning of December! So many babies and I just want Bryce to be a big brother.. he was amazing around Brooke and Chris Soshea's little boy Hunter and loved being around his cousins and older sister. I have a peace about it, And will be fine with school. Who knows, by the time I get prego and have it... I might have graduated already!
well, I feel like i'm babbling.. LOL like usual!
well, I hope all is well with everyone!
much love
Tiffany

Bryce Anthony is 18 months old!!

18 months ago I gave birth to the most amazing thing in my everyday life! He was born after 8 hours of labor, coming into this world at an amazing 7lbs 6oz 19" long! He was the most beautiful baby to me.. and still 18 months later he seems to amazing me everytime i wake up each morning..He is a wopping 31" tall and 30lbs 2oz...=) He is walking, running, yelling, climbing and into everything.. He is a typical little boy his age, he's always busy, loves the outdoors.. and loves his family and pets! He carries our puppy nana around everywhere and loves to sit on her and see what he can get away with.. he is constantly doing what he's not supposed to and enjoys making us laugh in anyways possible.. He has almost 14 teeth.. i know that's crazy.. he is cutting a front bottom tooth and just cut his last 1st year molar... He eats everything and veggies are his favorite!! lucky us! lol

He is amazing.. and we are trying to potty train now... yahoo!! he is ready. he knows what it means and loves trying to be a big boy like his daddy! Too cute!

Well I just wanted to blog for my son today! I love him more then life itself and I would know what I would do without him! He means the world to me. I'm sad he's growing so fast!! But very proud to say this handsome little man is all mine in the making!

well.... here are some pictures.. sorry I don't have all my really recent ones. They are in California on other computer! But, enjoy!

Our lives since homecoming

Since Carlos got home it seems like our world has not stopped just going and going and going in fifth gear, non stop.. its been quite stressful. We had his parents for the homecoming and that started us out pretty exhausted to begin with. Then, we recieved our orders since we re enlisted, then the money and paying off everything. Not to mention buying everything we needed, and didn't really need but wanted.. The move to the middle of freaking nowhere, and then the miscarriage... UGH.. that jolted our perfect little world... Then, my grandma getting diagnosed with breast cancer, breast surgery and now undergoin radiation treatment... WOW... EVERYONE around me is pregnant or recently had a baby... Talk about dealing with alot.. I have the most amazing husband and son and family and friends ever... We got our house broken into the first week we were there.. then two weeks after we have the cops breaking into our house at 6am cuz someone pranked 911 to our house! Geez!!! What is a girl to do?
So... Now, i'm back in idaho... for a visit home.. and so carlos can get hunting out of his system.. I'm up late... alone. Bryce is fast asleep.. and it gives me alot of time to think here in the dark about the things that have happend ever since we have re enlisted... Where we really meant to? Are these all signs that we made the wrong choice?? It just really boggles me... We are really nice, loving people... what are we doing wrong? hmmm.. am i meant to have another child.. do i want to try again and set myself up for another world altering jolt? I really want another child.. but is it worth the chance..???
Meanwhile with all this going thru my mind lately... i've got a hubby gone in the mountains somewhere hunting.. lol... and bryce who is gonna be 18 months old on the 18th, wow time sure flies... and its like.. where has the time went? Carlos has been home a little over 4 and a half months, seems like he just got home.. we've barely had time to ourselves... he's always working or we're running around doing stuff..
I'm in the process of starting school.. i'm doing online courses thru devry university... it should take me at the most 2 years to get my associates degree... This is my way of "coping" with everything... i'm tired of military life, and i'm tired of not having a way out of it! i'm tired of being away from our friends and family... So.. I'm taking classes so that in 2011 when it comes time to either re enlist or get out, we can get out!!! yahooo. i'm super excited and so are the people i have told!!
Alot has been going on.. but i'm keeping my chin up and looking forward to the next couple years as just me and my family.. in the middle of the, excuse my language, fucking desert.. but its so true..!! Bryce will be almost 6 when we return to idaho for good! can you believe that? holy crap.. its really crazy and almost scary to me to think about...
I know this is my first official blog.. and i'm sorry if its depressing but i needed to get it out in the open! My life is far from perfect.. but ONE thing i am sure of is... i love my husband and son and they mean the world to me... everything else could fall off the face of the earth and i would still keep my chin up!! okay, well maybe more then just them matter.. but you get my point...
I guess we just hit a rough patch... We have no bills, everything we could dream of but shit keeps trying to kick our little butts.. Its okay Lord, next time we WILL make the right choice! lol
Well, until next time! ADIOS!!!
