Happy (Late) Easter!

I meant to post this whenever it was Easter day but I have been pretty busy. I have been doing a little hunting myself, not eggs! But house hunting and job hunting. Which can be a little hard and quite stressful. I have received my drivers license last week (Oh wow, you are 20 and just obtained your license? What the heck?) Yes I know. But I have it now and that is all that matters. I am so happy that I finally have my independence and can do everything on my own. From taking my son to the park and going grocery shopping. My confidence in myself has skyrocketed since getting my license because it just makes me over the moon being able to get out when I want/need to. Now all I need is a job, which is hard locating one that is full time here. For that matter probably anywhere. But nothing is impossible and with some prayer I think it will work all work out. Scratch that not think -- I know it will all work out.

Now time for the Easter photos. I enjoyed this years Easter very much. Dorrian was finally old enough to easter egg hunt and it was a blast. We cooked out at my parents and just enjoyed the great county outdoors. The breeze and the green grass, gosh you have to love it all. I would give anything to live in the country.

It was adorable watching him easter egg hunt. *Pick up -- Shake Shake Shake* Oh it made me laugh how he was just trying to understand what the heck he was doing. 

This is the view from my parents front door, every single day. It is such a beautiful view that I love oh so much.

I hope you all had a great Easter! God blessed us all with that day and it is one I will cherish and celebrate for the rest of my life. Thank you for reading.

Weekly Checkup

Once again for probably the third time this year.. I have been sick for the past couple days. I NEVER used to get sick before having Dorrian -- literally. I had my tonsils and adenoids removed whenever I was a youngin' and that seemed to cure me of ever being sick. My immune system went into over drive and I repelled sickness. Now it seems as though I had passed that on to Dorrian (or he stole it from me whenever he was locked up in my womb for nine months.) Because I catch everything he has. Thing is though he just carries it and it never phases him too bad, only me. The worse thing to me is having a cold. I literally just sit on my couch with a box of kleenex and dayquil for days. My husband just kept ranting to me that I needed to go outside and get fresh air. I WAS SICK. I did not want to move, clean or even use the restroom. I was miserable and he had to spend his two days off taking care of me. But hey buddy.. the vows said through SICKNESS and health. You signed up for it, mhm. 

You know it is sort of funny how marriage works. When you are first married or even dating when your husband brings you flowers or candy you think he is the best person ever. Then after a year or two small things make him glow. Like when he covers your feet when you are covered up. Or when he wakes you up from sleep to give you your medicine whenever you are sick. It's these little things that make me just the happiest woman alive to have found someone that treats me so well. 

Easter is coming here in a week. I am very excited. Went out today to buy an easter basket and candy for Dorrian. I consider it his first easter because last easter he was still pretty young -- to young to cherish the holiday at least. This year it will be cute hiding the eggs and watching him walk around the yard hunting for them. Which reminds me I need to charge my camera.. thanks.

Sorry for such a short post -- I am so exhausted. Trying to be healthy is pretty tiring. 

Have a great day - night or whatever time zone you are in.

Grow Like A Weed

You know usually I create a title before I write, but for the past few posts I have just blanked as the little "post title" words. I sit there and think of something a little inspiring to write this post about, but I just can't. When that happens... I just write and pick a title that pops into my head. Creative huh? I wish. Speaking of creative, I have been down in the dumps lately because I just can not design my blog the way I want it. I recently downloaded photoshop and I just cannot understand a darn thing. I try to draw and it comes out looking... just crap. I really do not understand how people do it. I wish I had some sort of creative bone in me, but I do not. For that, I am pretty sad to admit it.

Anyways, pitty me. Moving on. I have some news. Some GREAT news in fact. Well it will be great if it happens that is. Cross your fingers that it will, please. Anyways... Let me give you a hint.

Did you get the hint? If not.. I will tell you! We are planning on moving to Saint Louis, MO in January. I am so very excited. For many reasons of course! One being my in laws are moving there and we just want to be close to them. Two; Well I have never lived out of Texas so a new state would be a new beginning for me. Three; Job opportunities and schooling for my son. Four; EVERYTHING! It is a beautiful place and I think my family and I belong there. 

Dorrian is growing up too fast. I say too fast because now he learning to comprehend more and just being more "human." I use that word carefully because I do not want you getting the wrong idea. I just could not think of any other term to describe it. He picks up trash when I tell him and puts it in the trash for me. He cleans up when he is needed and just understands more and more as the days pass. It just seems crazy how fast his brain can pick up on so much everyday at such a fast pace. Recently I have taught him to say that he is two when asked. He even does the little 2 symbol with his fingers. I taught him this in five minutes... five minutes! I just now understand why my whole life all I heard was "they grow up too fast" now I understand. They really do grow way too fast but then again there are days where they do not grow fast enough. 

The one out of many beautiful things I truly love about spring are the storms. I live right smack in the middle of tornado valley. Though most people complain about that, I love it. I am so deeply in love with thunderstorms. I am not talking about the teasing rain and off and on thunder. I mean the thrashing lighting, the banging thunder that keeps you awake and the hail that sounds like it is about to break your window storms. I prefer them over a sunny day 80 times out of 100. Weird huh? My husband thinks so too. 

Oh and I also love the grass. The green green GREEN grass.

Thinking about getting another tattoo soon... (by soon I mean within the new few years). On my other thigh. Same thing basically except maybe a hair or an octopus. Only in color though too. The people that say tattoos are trashy yada yada. They are not. There is no good argument to back up that opinion either. 

Alright alright readers. Final Fantasy a Realm Reborn is calling my name. The beta is out and it goes off here in about a few hours so I must go play. Do understand. If any of you are gamers, do play. Because it is by far the most fun I have had in quite a long time. My husband and I both are pretty addictive. Which we do not say that about a game very much what so ever. If you do not like video games, you are not human. Just kidding... no seriously. What? Whatever though. We all have things that entertain our minds. 

I will leave this post doing a "What Dorrian taught me today" note. I thought maybe I could take advantage of my blog name, "raisingme." Which indicates if you have not caught on, my son basically raising me. So as a cute little every post thing, I will leave a note at the end of every post of what he taught me that day. 

So, What Dorrian taught me today was: That growing up is probably the most difficult life lesson and the fastest. It comes before your eyes have the time to even see it. Whether it is maturing, going from child to adult years. Or learning something different beyond you could imagine. 

God bless you readers. Thank you for taking the time to read my posts, I really do appreciate it all so much. Please follow me on google and whatever else I am on.
