Overview Of April

April has been a kick ass month. My birthday was amazing all around. VIP circus tickets, a pandora bracelets with charms, candles, lotions, flowers, money, tons of facebook wishes, time with my family and friends. I LOVED IT~!~~~~ Steve and I are doing soo much better. Jake keeps asking for a sibling :/ We're just not ready for another baby yet. Maybe soon but we want to get married first. But right now we're still working on a car through mi works and then working on buying our first house. It should be sometime this year so I'm excited. I am also now riding the city bus to work and it feels amazing to be independant of needing a ride from people who mistreat you. Now for my kids. My older "adoptive" children are all doing extremely well. Mikey and Walid are both working. Mikey is also going to college and Walid just got a new 2012 Fusion! I am soo proud of them. Zainab is working full time and holding down the fort while Mike is going to school. They celebrated thier 4 year anniversary this month. Paige is going to school and focusing on academics right now getting ready to graduate. Paige and Walid will be celebrating thier 1 year anniversary in June. My youngest adopted Austin is being a teenager :) What else can I say? He's staying out of trouble and working on school. As for my monkey, Jacob <3 He is doing very well when he applies himself. He can blow threw math pages liek they're nothing IF he wants to. He is defiant (oh joy) and constantly wants things his way and will not budge. He has been grounded and had privledges taken away alot lately. His dad is now getting involved with the behavior modification process of grounding and holding up my punishments liek this weekend he will not be going to his dads since he had a bad schoolweek and his dad is also talking to him over the phone and explaining his behavior can not continue. I mean he actually hurt my feelings this week. I started making him breaskfast and leaving him a little note and the 2nd day I did it, he ignored the note threw it on the ground and ate COLD pancakes before steve could even warm them up bc he wanted to do it before he did his morning chores. Hes supposed to feed the animals before he eats b/c he likes to NOT feed the animals at all. He's just being a rambuncious 7 yr old.... is he 18 yet? :D Still fighting with DHS for the car program AND bridge card they keep messing with my paperwork its not even cool. I hate my job but it pays the bills so I suffer for a little bit longer. Love Always, Nickie

Wonderful Weekend

I absolutly love when things go well. It makes me smile to know I made a good choice. This weekend was amazing. We cleaned a little spent a lot of time outside fixing our backyard for summer. Getting the garden started completely from scratch. I put down the running line of bricks to section off the herb and spice section from the vegtables and them squared off the vegtables from the "patch" type items ie potatoes, onions, watermelon, pumpkins, and strawberries. Also got the hanging lines up. We managed to get 3 this year. Less gas means lower bill :D AND THE BEST PART We got the firepit lined with stones and bricks so that's ready to go too :D We also got a gazebo type screened canopy, that as soon as the car gets scrapped (steve and andrew are going to try and do that soon) and the dirt gets switched to the garden, will get put up next to the pool we're looking for. Nothing big just a put up and pull down type for the summer :D

Then celeebrating my birthday with steve's family yesterday was great!! I got lotions and candles. Steve got hot fudge and Jake got his easter basket. Then we went to eat at this great restaurant Azteca II. I highly recommend it. Then we shipped out to home depot. We got: a hose, sprinkler, more seeds, shovel, rake, and growing plant food all for the garden :D
It all rounded out to an excellant weekend. Steve and I spent the whole weekend just working together for a common goal. Now the posting for ebay craze is over for the week, we need to focus on inventory and getting ready for the garage sale we're having the 12th-15th of this month at our house. Should be a big success!!!! I'm excited for summer. Should also hear about the car program soon. Crossing my fingers so we'll see :D
Love Always, Nickie

Time Moves On, It Stands Still For No One

Lots of changes for the Weber/Marsh household. The business is doing very well. Ebay is flourishing and Amazon is catching up quickly. Also using craigslist and garage sales to p the revenue a little bit :D It's always fun. We've planned our first vacation and now just waiting on time as well as jobs to make sure we can afford it because the one thing I have learned from all of this is to not live above your means. It takes so long to get out of debt that I would just prefer to wait until I can afford it.

I have a full time job outside the house now. It is what it is. It's 40 hours plus benifits and makes it so we can afford to live :D Im always looking to move up but the next move is waiting until after we get a new car which should be soon.

As for the vacation we're going camping at TEEPEE CAMPGROUNDS in mackinaw city mi. From there we are defenitly going to mackinaw island and maybe a few other places as well. We'll see as it gets closer to our camping trip. Im also thinking about getting a hotel room for just me and steve one night and having a relaxing evening :D

The weight loss is kinda not going anywhere. Im watching what I eat better and am getting off my butt but still not focused so Im going to try harder.

Jake's schooling is going soo well. He loves the experiments he does. Right now they're growing crystals and working on observations. Soon to start on cause and effect in english. Jakes is so far ahead in math its amazing!!! And he's also caught up in reading I am so proud of him. Thinking of walking to mcdonalds tonight and using gift card for happy meal & ice cream for his 100% spelling test friday :D

Me and steve are doing really well. It was patchy for a little bit but it was never us not wanting to be together it was stress of everything else. But I'm realizing things aren't going to be perfect it's who do I want to go through life's challenges with... HIM <3 and he feels the same.

Hoping to get a car soon!!!
Love Always, Nickie

Gets Better gets worse

Everytime I think its getting better I fall into a depression that gets worse and worse. I want to be happy I truly do. I know I yell to much but sometimes I can't help it.
