Well it is almost 8:00 and I haven't started packing. I worked late tonight to make sure some things were taken care of at work while I was gone. I think I am good...I had my review today and everything went good! I am proud of that and look forward to my little pay raise in May!! To far off but that is what the good Lord is giving me so I will take it.
I still have to go and see Mami before we go, she will probably cry. I have already cried because believe it or not I am torn between going and staying here. I don't want to tell my Dad by, and I think I am just having an emotional breakdown. But I will be okay.
I just pray that the guys family that is going with us that his family will be okay. Especially his wife, she hasn't been feeling all that good and I know how it is feeling bad and having to look after kids. And I know she will miss her husband and the kids will miss their dad but I am praying that God will help that hurt.
I am curious as to how Aydan is going to react to his Dad. He hasn't seen him in 6 weeks and all he knows is that Daddy is always on the phone. So who knows what will happen. I would like to see his face and video record it. But we will be seeing our in laws again and I am looking forward to it.!!!!

Lots to do...
1) Well I need to go and get my pictures developed to take to Mariano's family. It is the pictures that we had taken together.
2) pack - no further details
3) clean the house
4) shop for Mariano's B-day/Valentine day gift
5) sort through my bills. Since I am leaving the first of the month, that happens to be when some bills are due!!!
6) Take Mariano's name off of my insurance
7) Business meeting
8) B-day part on Saturday evening
9) Look for something to do Aydan's 2ND Birthday on the Saturday that we come back!!! (two weeks away)
10) Shop for Mariano a heater to use during the night
11) shop for his nieces and nephews and then Chipito a toy or something
12) and I am sure I can add to the list but this is what I have for right now......So all I can say is what gets done is what gets done.....
Today is 7 more days until I get to see Mariano. One thing that shocks me is that the tickets are the same price as what I paid for them a month ago! I can't believe that!!! And they are the same price if you were to go in March or April. Now that just blows my mind!!! I think something is going on.

Aydan's first splinter
Yep, Aydan got his first splinter along with the second and third one too. Have no idea how he got it and Mom and Dad doesn't know either. It took about 25 minutes to get the first one out which was the biggest and I am not attempting the other two tonight. He didn't cry but did say "OW" and I found a solution to where he would allow me to do surgery. Aydan would let me dig at his finger with the needle as long as after I tried one time, I would allow him to dig at my finger with the tweezers!!! It hurt but we got the job done!!! I have pictures because I wanted to show Mariano so I will add them later.
Miss Sally Anne had a family member that bought so lovely feminen bras that just blows my mind that they would even purchase these kinds. But anyways....they didn't fit and Sally thought of me and gave me some. I all the time need those because the wire doesn't always hold up the way they should and trust me I need the wires!!! But they are really nice. I was trying them on last night and Aydan was oohing and awing which reminds me that he is getting to an age where I will have to start being careful because I might get out of the shower one day and Aydan will have one on or attempting to put one on!!! just kidding....well I am off to talk to my Hubby and today is only 8 more days til I see him!!!

What am I doing awake at 9:00???????
Ever since I started working in the office, I have yet to work a Saturday. Such a blessing but I work thru lunches and stay late just so that I don't have to do that. So Saturday's are Aydan's and my day to lay in. Except for today. I am awake at 9:00 in the morning. I am sure that I could go back to sleep but I needed to make Aydan an appointment today and I didn't set my alarm clock so I believe the Lord woke me up.
Aydan is really bad congested and has been since Tuesday and every day gets worse. Started out with a clear runny nose, has been running a low grade fevers at night and they break sometime during the night. Last night we are at my parents house getting ready to watch a movie and Aydan had pooped so I laid him back to change his diaper. He started coughing, and coughed and coughed more so I went to sit him up and he puked!! Not like puking across the room but I think he got choked on his 'phlim' ( not sure on the spelling) but I can't handle to much of that stuff. Mariano always cleaned the puke, I held Aydan. I don't get sick looking at it or anything but with the smell and if I feel the slimy part on my fingers.....I start gagging. So I just called and got an appointment. Luckily, well I take that back I believe God had an appointment open for Aydan.
Speaking of God, he is so awesome. I have been singing, "God will make a way, when there seems to be no way, He works in ways, we can not see, He will make a way for me, He will be my guide, hold me closely to his side, With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way, He will make a way. Mariano and I had been talking about calling each other. Usually I call him and we talk on the phone for 42 minutes and 2 seconds on a $5 phone card. Everyday and it is starting to add up. I haven't found anything cheaper yet but we were talking that every week is $35. Which turns into $70 a paycheck and that is $140 a month. Something has to give. Since he started working he doesn't go into town and get on the computer or anything. And you can call however many times you want on the phone card but it charges for making the call so I usually try getting as much out of my $5 as I can. I am getting somewhere.....And when Mariano gets triple time then he buys extra so he can call to. So I got paid on Thursday and just with some of life's events that happened this week I hadn't been able to go to the store and get any phone cards. I told Mariano that we might have to start going to the $2 cards and only talking for 16 minutes or so everyday. The funny thing is, is that is has far as that idea went. Yesterday after work, I thought we were going out to eat and it didn't turn out that way. Hint: I love Mexican, and if you can eat for $5, Aydan and I eat for like $6 then you can go out a second time and eat Mexican again. Mexican is cheap and I hope they never change it. But I was going to get the cards when we went out. Got home, I always take my stuff inside first so that I can go and get Aydan from my Mother's and carry his stuff home. Sometimes he has just woken from a nap and doesn't feel like walking so I carry him too. So as I got to the door I noticed there was something in the door. I got to it and realized that it was a phone card, I said Daddy must of bought me one. So I opened the screen door and realized there was more than one. I got inside, sat my bags down and counted. There was 8 $5 phone cards and 3 $2 phone cards. I started crying and I cried some more. Dried up my tears and went out Mom's. I asked her if she put them there and she said no. She said we just got back from your Uncle Steve's. So we thought Daddy put them there. When Dad got home from visiting my grandmother, I went out to the house because he wanted some salsa and some juice. Mom asked him while I was gone and they informed me when I returned that they did not put those cards there. I looked at them and made the promise that they didn't put them there and that they didn't know who had put them there. So I don't know who, but I cried when I told Mariano and he did too. I am crying now because whoever did it doesn't really know what they did. As Mariano, Aydan and I was praying, and I pray now that God gives them a huge blessing because not everybody has that kind of money to go out and do that. I can't say that God answered a prayer because we didn't pray for phone cards but remember the song. GOD WILL MAKE A WAY!!!! I have 13 more days til I get to see him and time does seem to be going fast. But I just can't get that person off my mind!!! If if you are reading this and you are the person, I can't thank you enough!!! I really don't even know what to say to you but just cry!!! I love all you guys and thanks for the prayers!!!

Things I miss...
1) I miss hearing his truck crank up in the mornings, it was right beside of our bedroom window and he would always crank it up so that it would warm up
2) I miss him coming and kissing me goodbye. Sometimes I would get aggravated because he would have to kiss me on my mouth, not my cheek, so if he couldn't get to my mouth he would move my head around until he got it. I would get so aggravated because it would wake me up!!! Most of the time I had an extra hour to sleep in but if he would do this then I was awake! I missed an hours of sleep and that hour meant alot!!!
3) Every work day at 3:37, he would always call me on his way home. Just checking in to see how my day was and all that.
4) I miss washing the dishes and have him come up behind me, stick his nose in my hair and just take a big sniff because he like the way it smelt. Then I miss his arms that would go around me and just squeeze me.
5) I sort of miss the hooping and hollering that he would do when one of his teams would make a goal!!! The TV is turned off and I sort of miss it because he would have it on but just be doing something else.
6) I miss the Saturday mornings where we would stay in and clean. He would always have this Hispanic Radio on from out in California. I had no clue what they were saying but the DJ like to tell a lot of jokes and I can just hear him now.
7) I miss him mopping the kitchen in his pajamas. The bottoms of his pant he would roll up and have his black sandals on.
8) I miss his loud whistle when he was excited!!!
9) I miss the Tacos he would bring home on Saturday after he had went to the flea market. Even though I can still go and get them but it's not the same!
10) I miss Sunday mornings when he decided to go and get breakfast at McDonald's. He would get up early and bring back a Gravy biscuit for Aydan and me.
11) I miss the late night talks that we would have in bed. It was just a time to relax and reflect back on the day and what we thought we could do for tomorrow.
12) I miss holding his hand when we would pray for our meals. Aydan always wanted to hold both of our hands.
13) I miss holding his hand in general, even though I always had to grab it first because Mariano isn't an affectionate person.
14) I miss asking him what he wanted for supper or have him ask what was for supper. Then all of a sudden he says, let's go out!!!
15) I miss the smell of his clothes. He left some clothes in the closet, so every now and then I go in there and just put my nose up to his shirts and just smell!
16) I miss him sitting beside me in church. Sometimes my back would bother me and he was such a good back prop.
17) I miss reaching over in the car and placing my hand on his leg.
18) I miss having to adjust my seat after he drove.
19) I miss having his legs to warm up my cold feet while we where in bed.
20) I miss having him in bed because usually after Aydan fell asleep then I would move him to my side of the bed and we would snuggle.
21) I miss his cologne. He took it with him but left the aftershave. So sometimes I will put some on Aydan so I can smell it! LOL....I don't put it all over his face and Aydan likes it so good!
22) I miss snuggling up with him on the couch when he was watching TV.
23) I miss laying my head in his lap and stretching out in the couch. Never got a back rub or even though I asked several times for him to 'tickle' by back, it never happened.
24) I miss the help out in the house just doing my little everyday chores.
25) I also miss the paycheck...budgeting is no fun.
26) I miss going shopping with him. He loved Goody's so I am sure that right now that is where we would be.
27) I miss him feeding Chiquita. I don't like doing it because she stinks! And she did get after Aydan and thus his fear of dogs now.
28) I miss being in the bed with Aydan and Mariano take a run and dive into the bed. Aydan would just cackle!
29) I miss his toothbrush filling up the third hole in our toothbrush holder.
30) I miss his towel hanging up in the bathroom.
31) I miss his laundry....
And the list could go on and on. One thing I DON"T MISS. In the mornings, he would blow his nose that was loud enough to wake the neighborhood and after brushing he teeth he would make this gurgling sound to clean the back of this throat. I hated it every time he did it because it was a disgusting sound!!! and he knew it!!! So I don' t have to get sick!!! He would kill me to if he knew this was on here!!!
But once again the list could go and on and on and on. And on. But I do have a promise from God that I will see him back in the states. When?? I am not for sure but I know that we have gone a month without him and that means we can go on for anther month. I know God wouldn't' have us go thru this trial without the victory. He wouldn't lead us into a valley and have us climb the mountain just to get to the top and get nothing.
But today is day 20. And while I am thinking of it, why this happened, only God knows. But coming back into the states and going thru customs, the guy did not stamp my passport. He stamped Aydan's but we can't find it no where. So I will have to call Monday to get that settled because I don't want to cause a big ordeal at customs when they are trying to find out how I got back in the states.
Well I think tomorrow or sometime close is a dear ladies Birthday in our church. So I need to get off and go to the grocery store and buy my things for tomorrow. Also do some grocery shopping....and I want a new outfit!!! But that will have to wait. I did get an Old Navy sweater at a consignment store for $1. It was really nice!!!
2) I miss him coming and kissing me goodbye. Sometimes I would get aggravated because he would have to kiss me on my mouth, not my cheek, so if he couldn't get to my mouth he would move my head around until he got it. I would get so aggravated because it would wake me up!!! Most of the time I had an extra hour to sleep in but if he would do this then I was awake!

Goodbye
Today I had to say goodbye to my friend at work that might be coming to SNO. I wasn't expecting it and neither was she but I am glad that we got to say goodbye. I cried. She gave me her secret stash of all the candies!!! And left me a little snack. But I know that we will stay in touch. I believe she is saved and I know that our paths didn't cross just for us to go our separate ways. I just feel really bad because she has asked me everyday to go out to eat with her this week and I didn't. But I plan on going one day.
It is hard to believe that Goody's is shutting down!!! It doesn't look to good out there so if you have a job you had better keep it because it is hard to find one.
Haven't talked to Mariano today so I can't comment on him. Other than I still miss him and today is day 22!!! Still counting down.
Short but sweet. I need to get off of here and take a shower, clean the living room, eat supper, and then we will see what the rest of the evening will hold. I had to wake up Aydan so kind of depends on how he acts for the remaining of the night.
Hope to see everyone tomorrow night!!! We are gonna party!!!!! So bring lots of party food!!!

Almost Bed Time
Well it is past our bed time and I am up here. Aydan is sitting beside of me refusing to get on his computer. Too bad I didn't buy a colorful computer screen because then I think that he would have like that one more. Do they even make those for his age?
Mariano is doing fine. He started working for his brother-in-law, in his store. Hector (Brother-in-law) has a store that sells oil, and other things that goes in cars. Cleaning stuff and only God knows what else. But it gives Mariano something to do and who knows he might learn something for when he comes back to the states. I am looking forward to that and today is 23 more days and we will get to see him. In Guatemala. Nice. But for now the word that I am trying to get Aydan to see is Happy Birthday because Juan's B-day in 2/15. Feliz Cumpleanos, I believe would be harder for Aydan to say but I could be wrong so we will see what comes about.
With Birthday being said, I am undecided what to do about Aydan's. He will be 2 in one month. Did somebody say "HELLO???" Two years old? Can't believe it and I can't believe that I have a 2 year old. Who would have thought. But I am ready for another one, Baby Malachi just add to the want!! Lord willing it will be soon.
I am looking forward to Friday night. I might have a friend from work come and play some games. I didn't think that we would get along as good as we do but she is a really sweet lady and a Christian which says a lot.
I tell you, we should have started 6 months ago living with getting paid every two weeks cause I still got another week til I get paid. I got money to do and to make it but it stinks. I had to fill out my bills for two weeks and what needed to get paid in those two weeks and that takes some time. But I will get used to it sooner or later.
Christmas money...I was planning on using my money on paying off the rest of the trip that we took to Guatemala. Mariano asked the other day how much did he get and he said he didn't know what he was going to do with the money. Trust me, you could see the steam rising from my head because I thought a great idea was to put it towards the trip that we will be taking. But he didn't say anything so I think he should use wisdom but I keep reminding myself that "I" have the money, and "I" have control of the money, "I" can spend it on what I want, (OOPS, did "I" say that?) So I have told Mariano that right now we are living in a time that we supply our needs and we don't get our wants. But Mariano and I have argued about this every year and I have always put my money up for bills and he has always bought what he wanted to. But I could go on and on and on about that. I think that I will win in this situation because I can tell him that if he wants to see Aydan bad enough he can buy his lap ticket because that is what it will end up costing. I will blog about the results later on.
Work has been booming. The first day back after New Years, I believe the three that was in our department felt like screaming!!! Our database went down, we lost work from 12/22 and has to be re-entered into the system. We have lots of orders and we are short one person because of Jury Duty. But hopefully it will not last long. Well off to bed, Aydan has sat patiently behind my back so he is starting to wine so I think I should be a good Mommy and let him go to bed.
Mariano is doing fine. He started working for his brother-in-law, in his store. Hector (Brother-in-law) has a store that sells oil, and other things that goes in cars. Cleaning stuff and only God knows what else. But it gives Mariano something to do and who knows he might learn something for when he comes back to the states. I am looking forward to that and today is 23 more days and we will get to see him. In Guatemala. Nice. But for now the word that I am trying to get Aydan to see is Happy Birthday because Juan's B-day in 2/15. Feliz Cumpleanos, I believe would be harder for Aydan to say but I could be wrong so we will see what comes about.
With Birthday being said, I am undecided what to do about Aydan's. He will be 2 in one month. Did somebody say "HELLO???" Two years old? Can't believe it and I can't believe that I have a 2 year old. Who would have thought. But I am ready for another one, Baby Malachi just add to the want!! Lord willing it will be soon.
I am looking forward to Friday night. I might have a friend from work come and play some games. I didn't think that we would get along as good as we do but she is a really sweet lady and a Christian which says a lot.
I tell you, we should have started 6 months ago living with getting paid every two weeks cause I still got another week til I get paid. I got money to do and to make it but it stinks. I had to fill out my bills for two weeks and what needed to get paid in those two weeks and that takes some time. But I will get used to it sooner or later.
Christmas money...I was planning on using my money on paying off the rest of the trip that we took to Guatemala. Mariano asked the other day how much did he get and he said he didn't know what he was going to do with the money. Trust me, you could see the steam rising from my head because I thought a great idea was to put it towards the trip that we will be taking. But he didn't say anything so I think he should use wisdom but I keep reminding myself that "I" have the money, and "I" have control of the money, "I" can spend it on what I want, (OOPS, did "I" say that?) So I have told Mariano that right now we are living in a time that we supply our needs and we don't get our wants. But Mariano and I have argued about this every year and I have always put my money up for bills and he has always bought what he wanted to. But I could go on and on and on about that. I think that I will win in this situation because I can tell him that if he wants to see Aydan bad enough he can buy his lap ticket because that is what it will end up costing. I will blog about the results later on.

Long Time...
Well plane tickets to Guatemala look like they will not be going down. So I should have some flight plans by the end of the night for the end of January. That way, may be first of March, we might be looking at another flight and then in April, mid April I will be leaving to go and get my Baby and bring in back home. I don't have confirmation but that is how I feel. So I am stepping out on a branch. But things are good, we get sad and Aydan has started the 'terrible twos." But I plan on correcting the Terrible Two Attitudes quickly. Christmas was good. Still miss Mariano but we are going to survive.
I have been downloading songs like crazy this week. Just various types of music, some that I haven't heard in a long long time.
Back to work tomorrow for one day and then the weekend. I could get use to this schedule. Work MT, off WTH and work F. Off SS...if only I could still get paid for the 40 hours. But I do have a long day ahead of me and lots of orders to place. It is my goal to be the best Junior Buyer and succeed!
Aydan has learnt more words. Mariano doesn't understand on the phone and Aydan says it like 3 times and finally I have to tell Mariano what he is saying. He has learnt in the past week, bird (bir), diaper (iper), trash(which really sounds like a bad word so I won't spell that one!), snowman (noman) and Te Amo which is Spanish for I love you (Mamo). But I am working on the spanish. It is just so easy to say what I want to in English but I feel like it is my duty to help with his Spanish Education in Mariano's absence. Yes, in case anyone is wondering, I will probably always call him Mariano. When we first met I told him that I was glad his name was that and not Juan because I hated that name. Not knowing at all that that was his real name. So Mariano knows that I don't like it even though I allowed him to name our son after him. So he doesn't care if people still call him Mariano.
