Ending off an amazing year!

As the year is nearing I look back and feel nothing but gratitude to God for all he helped me endure and accomplish this year. To say 2015 was a "great year" is an understatement. I landed an amazing job that opened up opportunities like no other and has helped determine what it is I want to do with my career path.

 I graduated from College and got accepted to multiple Universities as a first generation college student. 

I got married to an amazing individual who has watched me grow and blossom into the person I am today the last 6 years of my life. I married my best friend on one of the beautiful Islands in the World Maui, Hawaii (and it was my first time flying!) 

2015 is the year my son learned that he is going to be a big brother, and words can't describe how happy Mikey and I are to welcome our baby girl in 2016. Most importantly God has blessed me beyond measure by allowing me to be surrounded by all my loved ones. 

Like I said 2015 was going to be my year... well so will 2016. I am excited and a bit sad to look forward to a new year simply because 2015 was nothing but a blessing year round. To be honest it's not the actual "year" that blessed me but the man up above. However I am extremely excited to enter the new year and enjoy my new baby, my family and all my blessings. Thank you Jah. 

Baby #2 and Gender reveal video

I quickly want to recap on some MAJOR life events that have taken place. If you follow me on social media (IG, facebook, snapchat or watch my Youtube channel) you already know and have known that Mikey and I are expecting our second child! We are beyond excited and cannot wait to meet our new family member.

Nathaniel is excited beyond words and I did not think he would be this happy to have a sibling. I know for a fact he is going to be an amazing big brother!

On December 10 Nathaniel attended a sibling tour class and was introduced on how to swaddle, hold, change and help mommy out when his baby sister comes (pictures to follow). One of my goals this pregnancy is to ensure that Nathaniel feels important and know that he plays a huge part in the arrival of his baby sister. His baby sister has a special gift for brother but little does he know... yet :)

A very excited big brother!

Here are a few photos from ultrasounds and video clips of us doing our small gender reveal (I like intimate gatherings so we told our immediate family members first)

Catching up...

So it's been almost exactly one year since I've posted on blog... I must say I am disappointed at myself but rather putting forth that energy of being upset I decided to do something about it. There's so much to catch you guys up on it seems like it'll take me a while but let's summarize this as much as possible and as soon as I get on my desktop I can update the blog with photos!

Nathaniel is 4 and half and will be turning 5 in January which is around the corner and at this point I am huge ball of emotions for reasons I will explain in a second. He is the funniest, coolest and sweetest boy I know. Everyday I ask God what did I do to become so blessed with him? I am thankful at the same time. Today he asked if I had ever cooked a chicken? And in response I told him yes and he found that quite odd. It made me wonder what he thought chicken nuggets were made of. He is at the stage of unlimited curiosity and asks questions about questions and it's beautiful to know that Mikey and I are teaching him new things everyday just as he teaches us things we never knew. ..

YouTube videos have been hard to come by simply because I am a mom, go to work and attending school leaving me with limited time to do other activities I enjoy. This is when prioritizing is of importance and not that YouTube isn't important but spending time with my child is on the top of my list but for those that have subscribed to my channel and follow my blog I truly appreciate you. Thank you for bearing with me and random comebacks.

There will have to be a second part to this as I am putting my boy to bed and need major rest as these dark under circles won't go away on their own. Good night... Until next update (hopefully tomorrow) Love you all!
