Updates Updates. . . . .

So in an effort 2 try & keep up w/my blog, as well as record the happenings of what's been going on in my life. . . .here I am. With another short post that'll maybe turn into a pretty good size one since I do have the tendency 2 ramble on about such random things. Ask my husband. . . .I don't think anyone knows me better. Lol.
This past Thursday, Hoko surprised me with his home visit that I'm hoping is more on a permanent note then not. :D His project in Louisiana has come 2 an end & so he's home 4 the time being. It has been quite the transition having him home, again. My once, one parent home & whatever I say goes has now become what it was before. . . .Dual parenting where what he says matters, too. Well, most of the time, @ least. As long as it's along the same lines as what I'm thinking or enforcing. No worries, tho. We've had 10 yrs 2 realize that in order 2 make things work 2 our advantage as parents. . . .we better compromise on our different styles/beliefs of parenting when it comes 2 the kids. :D As well as when it comes 2 our relationship as husband & wife. Though the journey has never been an easy one, I can honestly say that is has been worth every moment spent 2gether & apart.
Anyways, back 2 my UPDATES. As I was saying in my previous post. . . . .I found a new love this past summer. I spent all summer long playing women's rugby. The team I played 4?? Utah Pink Panthers. :D I love playing the sport, but even more than that?? I love being part of a team!! :D Knowing that when we're all out there on the field, how vulnerable we are as individuals, but how unstoppable we are as a team. We played tons of games during the summertime & participated in tournaments as well. I would've never imagined that I would ever step foot in the Rio Tinto stadium as an athlete. :D That was an AMAZING experience all in itself. I don't care if I only played the last 2 min of the game. Lol. It was an adrenaline rush that can't be explained. I formed a sisterhood with women from all walks of life & the wonderful thing about it is the fact that I would've never met these women outside of these circumstances. So I guess you can say that my summer was pretty memorable 2 say the least. :D Unfortunately, I haven't been able 2 keep up w/my team because I'm back in school as of August 25th. The day fall semester started & I have been busy busy busy since then. Taking 16 credits may sound CRAZY 2 most, but I'm finding it exhilarating. I love being back in school & working 2wards some exciting goals. Not that any of it will be easy in any way, but it's nice 2 be able 2 remind myself of the end reward. :D
With school in full force, as well as the kids in school, it's been quite hectic in our household. But it's always an adventure. The other day, I was logged into my online english class typing away during our live chat w/our instructor as well as other students in the class, when Savou full throttle throws up what seems 2 be everything that he's ever eaten in his little 1 yr old lifetime. It was disgusting!! Along w/the stench of the milk chunks all over me. . . .Ugh, I ran 2 the bathroom holding him in my arms, undressed him, turned on the water in the tub & there he went. I had 2 soap him down fully, rinse him off, take him out, & dress him before I could even think 2 get started on myself. Oh the joys, right?? Lol. Definitely right because he brought me back down 2 earth & reminded me of what my primary role in life are 1st & foremost. A mother above all others. :D
Sila starts her 1st day of preschool 2morrow & she's ecstatic!! :D It's always so reassuring 2 watch your little ones grow up & be so eager 2 learn. And you hope that their eagerness 4 education will take them all throughout their lives even though it's a long shot. So while I'm writing this post, I'm thinking of what I'm gonna write my paper on that was due last night @ 11:59 pm. I know. . . .so terrible, right?? Well, it's my reality. Cause all I can think about are the pumpkin chocolate chip bars that are waiting 4 me 2 make & stuff my face with as well as the New Zealand Cream I had the wonderful opportunity of enjoying yesterday @ the Kiwi Bakery. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm. . . . .the good things in life that I've been able 2 savor lately & the icing on top is that my husband's been home 4 me 2 create those memories with. May sound corny, nevertheless it's nothing, but TRUTH. :D And I'm totally smiling right now while I'm writing this because I've missed him so MUCH!! :D With that said, I'm gonna have 2 end & hopefully I'll be able 2 find time in this coming up week 2 upload some pics 4rom this past summer. Also 4rom my trip 2 visit my HOTT STUFF HUBBY in New Orleans. :D More 2 come. Definitely. :D
