A new everything

Life as we age is interesting for sure:) I have always wanted to become a mom abs a wife, but you sometimes just don't know what the path you are taking will lead to so many fun adventures for your future. So earlier this year my husband joined the army, we found out we are having a baby and on top of that, when my husband is done with training , we will move in the middle of a hot summer and being 7 months pregnant. Oh I thought, this will be interesting for sure:) so as getting here, waiting for our things to arrive and being reunited with my wonderful husband has been an experience of a life time for me. Now we just wait for this bundle of joy to come join our house:) here are a few pictures that I have taken 

Welcome to Louisiana! Very green :)

Saw this in the airport and I just had to:))

Our new city where we will be living for the next 3 years( as I get more familiar with the area, I will post more pictures ) 

I'm a very happy girl:) 

Oh how I love this man of mine:) 

Baby girl will be here soon:)) so exciting!!! 

my sunshine

 

 

Some days being a mom can be hard. Finding motivation to just get up and go and take a shower in a day. Getting your baby dressed as well. Then I come down stairs and see the kitchen... oh the mess.. how did it get that way.. I have no clue.... some days are just a blur because you get into a routine. Well, This coming month is February and I have decided that I need some more sunshine in my life.. yes I know its winter and that doesn't help at all.. but when you take that first step in the morning, you just have to tell yourself.. today will be a great day because I am a mom and I have a little one to take care of and to get into good habits.  You see my little sunshine....

yes this is her.. this is why I need to be the best I can be because of her. She is my motivation now and as I get on a schedule with her, life is so much easier. This week has been great! Hope more will be like this one.

 she is always happy.. well unless she is hungry or tired.

The TWO Day trip to Voronezh Russia!!!!

 The start of my adventure, I went from Salt Lake City to Texas. Then from Texas to Germany. Even though I just got to see the airport, it was so cool to be there. Then from Germany to Russia it was. The flights were not bad at all... actually really fun. I was in the air this time for about a day and a half. They give you food, and I watched three movies on the plane, and then I got up and walked around and talked to a lot of neat people from different parts of the world. I met some people from Germany, Iraq, and Russia.

It was a long trip, but the worst part was riding in the Marshooka, this is like a small mini van.. with 9 people and it was about a 15 hr ride b/c of the bad weather...  and all of our luggage as well.. But the most important thing, is that we got to Voronezh Russia in one piece.

The HUGE aircraft that we got to ride on. Its one of the largest planes in the world.

we made it to Moscow Russia

The sign for the bathroom in Germany's airport.... thought it was cool.

 

This is our last flight, kinda excited to get there

This is my group, all smashed with our luggage & there are two more people up front.

I am going back back to Voronezh Russia

Well, I decided about a year ago that I really wanted to go again to Russia and I was going to make it possible. I really wanted to see the people again and visit the friends that I made there.
Well, I am here again and I am loving every moment. This time around, I am not teaching, I am the Head Teacher,so I do a lot of paper work, make sure the teachers are teaching and doing a good job, in which they are, and make sure everyone has a great time here.
I have been here now for about 3 weeks, so here comes another round of blogging, and I hope too succeed this time with being better with more updates and so forth.

Quotes!!! sometimes I feel that I live by them faithfully...

Dont you just love this PICTURE!!! It makes me laugh.. because its so true. As a female..sometimes it gets cold and we get lazy and so we dont want to shave. Life gets busy and we sometimes dont have time.. even as single ladies.

LOVE THIS.. its so true... We just need to love ourselves.

If we are happy or not Happy...and know it... we just need to clap our little hands still and try to be happy. Life is hard, but worth it.

Happy New Year!

I hope Everyone had a wonderful and safe New Year!
Everyone says that they dont make New Year Resolutions, because they are so hard to keep up... but maybe if we call them GOALS... and continue to work on them daily and weekly.. we will succeed. I wish you all Health, Happiness, Good Faith, and Fun year to remember. This is a year that we can move forward from the past and work harder to be a better self.
For me.... I made a list of Goals that I will continue to do daily, I hang them up on the wall so I can see them daily in my bedroom so I can work on them... or else... it wont happen. LOL
Well... everyone... love ya tons and have a great year!

Tea Time!

I love Russian Tea Time.. its usually after a meal or when you just want a snack and you drink tea.. and the best part.. you bust out the sweets!!! most of the time its just a bowl of candy. my host family has a bowl of candy on the table at all times.. LOL.. its a time to relax and to soak in the quality time with love ones.. take about your day, your dreams goals.. or whatever else Russians talk about.. its fun and I love it!

This is in my flat.. our kitchen table and how there is always the candy jar for tea time. but overall... I love tea time and its fun... I found this picture picture about how it should always be tea time..
