Blah Day!

Being unproductive sucks. It's the first day of spring break and I decided that I would rest and relax over the break (since I'm milking being pregnant and all). So after a day of doing absolutely NOTHING, I don't think I can "rest" all break! Not only have I been a bum, I was supposed to cook a scrumptious dinner tonight and that hasn't worked out either! So I literally did nothing productive today ha!

Tomorrow (and the rest of the week)'s To-Do list:
-clean out the two guest bedroom closets
-buy a comforter
-finish putting away wedding gifts
-get wedding photos printed and start a scrapbook
-buy shoes for a wedding this coming weekend
-go to the woodlands/conroe friday!

That should keep me busy and on top of all that, I'm going to cook dinner hopefully every night! Nothing wrong with being lazy..not to mention on a MONDAY! The one day that everyone wants to be lazy...but I'm going to be ready to be movin tomorrow (after I sleep in of course)!

DAY 04: What you ate today

You would think that because I'm pregnant I would be eating crazy stuff. But I haven't even had any weird cravings so it's not too weird.

Honey Nut Cheerios
Blue Berry Muffin
Yogurt
Turkey Sandwich
and I'm making bbq ribs for dinner!!

DAY 03: Parents

My parents and I have an amazing relationship. We went through a lot together due to my teenage stubbornness back in the day and we've luckily come through being so close. I am so lucky and fortunate to have parents that have provided and supported me with everything. They are both extremely smart and though to this day I don't always want to listen to them, I know that 99% of the time they know what they're talking about. I recently got married and throughout my marriage I will always strive to learn and model my relationship off of what they've had for over 30 years. They never gave up on any of us and I know that's hard to do as a parent, especially when one is causing constant stress and worry. Thanks for holdin on Mom and Dad!! Love you both very much!

DAY 02: YOUR FIRST LOVE

Um...hmm..my first love. I was 16 when we met, we were both ending our junior year and we spent that summer falling in love. One of the best summers I've ever had. After two months everything went down hill...(for about 2 more years) but I'll always remember him and look back at that summer before senior year. Thanks first love for teaching me all the important first serious relationship lessons that a youngen needs to learn!--thanks for showing me that what we had wasn't the kind of love that I wanted. I'll always love you for that :)

Day 01: Introduce Yourself

Hola! Yo soy Tessa! I'm a twenty something, Texas raised gal who's been on the search for life's adventures for quite some time now! An adventure has been sent my way recently making the last four months and the next 5 months only the beginning! I live in the Austin area and am going through all the normal changes and life decisions we all go through at this very young age! A dog...a cat...and a bun in the oven, my husband and I live a happy and healthy life discovering the world! :)

Life has been a'changin!

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. I've believed that ever since I broke up with a boyfriend at the age of 15 and had to find the good that was coming from the break up--why we dated, what I learned, why God had me even experience that short relationship. Ever since I discovered that belief, I've applied it with all my struggles and obstacles in life. You can learn from anything and everything! And I am constantly on the search for all challenges!

I've been out of school for two years now and have yet to find a job that provides a livable salary or has challenged and helped me grow in my career. I got my teaching certificate and have been on the search ever since. I work well with kids, enjoy them and love watching them grow! I would make a great teacher! (Not trying to toot my own horn here, just confident in my abilities) I've had a few interviews and have been working with special needs children and have not landed a job! Now with all these budget cuts, it's almost impossible!

A few months ago (~6 or 7) I was crying to a friend about how my life is going nowhere. I have been on the search for "the reason" for my career struggle, and financial struggle as well and have not come up with any results! Why hasn't God allowed me to use my skills and talents with children and as a teacher to help the school system and these kiddos?! I want it so bad!

Be careful what you wish for :)

About 3 1/2 months ago, my boyfriend of over 4 years decided to pop the question! Such an exciting time! Being engaged is so much fun and magical! Tons of giddy feelings and constant smiles!--Something is finally happening in my life that's worth talking about!!

Wait a minute...be CAREFUL what you wish for....

Three weeks after the proposal, I noticed some body changes that were undeniable...I'M PREGNANT! Nothing happening in my life!??! Yea! We rushed the wedding a little bit and now only half a year after crying about my boring life, I'm now happily married with a baby boy on the way!  And now have new career plans that I am so excited about!

God's laughin now!!! Everything happens for a reason, I haven't gotten that teaching job because I have one thing to focus on right now, being a mommy. I wasn't positive about going back to school, because I need more time to think about what I want to go back for, this gives me more time to think about it. I have been struggling to help make me a stronger person, to give me experience with kids, and to really think and feel for what I'm supposed to be doing for my life...that's "the reason"

I LOVE FINDING MEANINGS!!
