I can't believe Vienna is 10 months old today!

Where did the time go?! My baby girl is 10 months old today and I am in shock!
It just amazes me to see how fast she is growing and learning. She is so determined to figure out the world around her. I love it! But at the same time kinda sad... I packed up her little itty bitty clothes the other day and put them into storage and I couldn't believe she was already too big for them. Wow!
Today has mixed emotions for me... Jarom also left for Dallas. He is driving down so he can have our car there for work. I was sad to see him off but at the same time I know I will be seeing him on May 11th when Vienna and I fly down. So for the time being we are going to enjoy us some family time!!!
I'm staying here in Cardston with my inlaws so we can get in some Grandma and Papa time before the move. Vienna just LOVES them so much! She is really really going to miss them! She just lights up at the sight or sound of them. It is really quite cute. I am so glad that she has such a strong relationship with them.
On saturday we head for Calgary! We are going to go to a baby blessing on sunday and will be able to spend some time with Jarom's side of the family. It should be really really fun! Then on monday my mommy and I are driving to Fort McMurray to see my sisters and their families!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooo excited! I miss my sisters so much! They have only been able to see Vienna a few times so I am excited to be able to spend a week with them! I'm sad I will be missing my two nephews b-days this month. They are big land marks indeed! Kerry is 21 and Armancio is 18! Like when did that happen?! How did they grow up so fast as well?! Anyways, I couldn't be more happy to go see them all!
Once we get back we will be spending the last day or so with Jarom's big sister Melissa and her hubs Donny! Vienna spent last weekend with them while we were gone celebrating our anni and she had the best time! They took her to see Donny dirk bike race and they spoiled her rotten! They are so good to her.
I must say I feel so blessed. Vienna is a well loved baby and nothing makes a mom more happy than to know her baby is so well loved!
So this past weekend was our 2nd anni! Wow! 2 years already! Is it me or is time going by soooo fast in all aspects of life?! Looking back so much has happened in those two years. We moved to Dallas twice... and had a baby... who is 10 months old!!! Life has been very good to us! This year we decided to celebrate our anni by going to Banff! It was a good decision. It was snowy out but it was perfect hoody weather. We walked around banff looking at all the fun shops... got some snacks at the amazing Candy shop! We went for a nice dinner at the Keg and went and saw a movie. It was just such a relaxed two days and we really needed that! It was so nice to have Jarom all to myself and be able to just be together doing whatever we wanted! Jarom had never been to Banff so it was fun to show him around. He is excited to go back in the fall and check out some of those trails.
So all in all life is good. The moving and cleaning part is pretty much done so that is good... now it's just time to enjoy some family time before we move down to Dallas.
Now that the time is coming closer I am really quite excited to get down there and see some of my fave people I have dearly missed!
Oh another bit of awesome news!!! My best friend Kandace finished her very last exam and paper of university! She is graduating!!! I am sooooooo proud of her! A lil jealous... not gonna lie... but so proud of her! She worked so hard! Way to go Kandace!!!! Now we are planning a way cool grad photo shoot for her since I wont be there for her very big day. It should be pretty sweet! hahahaha.
Well I better go... Vienna is going to be up from her nap soon.
Till next time!!!

The MOVE!

So as I have stated before... we are moving! Where to you ask... Dallas Texas! For how long?... 4 months.
This is our third summer doing this... so you would think that it wouldn't really phase us... but... it does!
I hate moving! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! I hate not feeling secure in one area. I hate not really having a place to call home. I hate packing and unpacking ever few months. It gets really stressful. It's also hard saying good bye to family and friends for the summer. Wait maybe I should clarify some things... I don't hate that we are moving to Dallas... it's just the actual "moving" process I loath. I hate the transition between going from one place to the other! Ok now that I have that stated...
Don't get me wrong, there are definate benefits to summer sales. Jarom is really really good at it... and makes good money! The money we make each summer allows me to stay at home with Vienna and for both Jaorm and I not having to work as he goes to school. So yes... I see the need for it and do feel blessed. I am in no way trying to cry "woe is me" cause he can sell. It's just the "moving" part I really hate!
Anyways, today we finished packing up the whole house, loading the trucks and getting our stuff into storage. Now we just have to go back on monday and clean up. It sure feels good to have everything all packed up. You would think that after doing it so many times we would be fast pros... but we aren't. hahaha. I'm just glad that part of the move is over!
When ever it comes time to pack up again I feel like I am at a stand still... I don't know where to start. I get over whelmed... usually procrastinate for the most part... and then end up busting my butt until the wee hours on the last day! You think I would learn!
The other night I was able to go out for dinner with my two best friends and we started talking about moving. We each counted the number of times we have moved in the past 4 years and I came up with 13 moves! What the heck?!
Besides all the packing, organizing, cleaning and late nights... saying goodbye to family is really rough. Especially now that we have Vienna this part of the move is really quite sad. It's just hard. I know it is rough but we are lucky Jarom has such a great talent. I just wish people could see that and understand that we are trying to d what is best for our little family. And after such hectic constant travelling during the winter it's nice just to be the three of us. Sometimes I feel like I don't get Jarom to myself... or that we don't get to be alone to do our own thing, to figure out how we want to raise our new little family. I recognize that everyone is just wanting to help us out and bless their hearts, I love them to death!... but I can be stubborn and want to figure things out for myself.
Right now I am at a crossroads with emotions. (yes I can be a very emotional person). On one hand I am so sad to leave our families and friends... but on the other hand I am really excited to go back to Dallas to where I have made some really dear friends. It's really weird. I'm so lucky to have the friends that I do down in Dallas. Luckily I adore the bosses wife and her kids and some other awesome ladies involved in the company. They know what a summer sales life can be like and we can all support one another. I can't wait to see them soon!
I can see how some people view moving as a fresh start... a new adventure... but ya... we have been down this road too many times. hahaha. I can't wait for the day to come when we buy a house! How awesome will that day be hey! I'm not sure how many more years we plan on doing summer sales for... but to think that someday we will have a house that we will permenantly live in... wow... what a day that will be!
Anyways... look at me ramble on. hahaha. I can't believe it's already that time of year again. I'm just glad that the packing part is over! Celebrate your victories as they come!
I guess I should get my butt to bed. It's pretty late and I need to unpack my car and get organized so we can go to Calgary. Jarom and I have decided to go to Calgary and banff for our 2nd year anni this weekend. It should be fun!
I'm so grateful that this day is done. I am not sad that it had to end. hahaha.
Now we just need to pack our car for Dallas... oh fun... but that isn't till next week so I am going to not let it bug me just yet!
Wish me luck as I transition through the "moving" process. I'm going to need it!
Loves until next time!

Ok, so a little about me...

Ok so I'm up late... once again. I'm always up late... what can I say I am a night owl! Anyways... I have been totally creeping on other peoples blogs and I have decided it's fun to read random facts about someone you didn't know. So maybe I'll go ahead and make that my second blog! That's right... I'm already tempting to make another blog! Oh man... I'm on a roll! hahaha

Alrighty...

So here are some random things about me you might not already know!

I hope you are excited! hahaha

Oh and no these are totally not in order... just jottin them down as I think of them!

1. I'm totally ADD! Ok so if you know me that might not really be a random fact... I guess that one is really obvious. Oh well!

2. I LOVE to dance! I'm so nerdy though... I don't just listen to music like normal people, I usually have to come up with some on the spot dance routine to it... even if it's in my head! hahaha, well with the dance songs at least. I also find myself lip syncing to songs in the mirror with a brush or whatever is available. I'm so cool I know!

3. Music reflects my moods. Honestly it does! You can always tell Nadia's mood by the type of music I have playing. I usually have music going on around me through out my day. It's kinda like my own back ground theme music to my life! hahaha

4. My fave number is 18. I can still remember the day that I decided it was too. I was in grade 4 and I had the HUGEST crush on a boy named Danny and his joursey number for hockey was 18.... and it just kinda stuck through out the years!

5. I hate the feeling of makeup foundation on my hands... sick!

6. I love blue candies... blue raspberry candies to be exact! Blue ring pops have got to be the most delicious candies EVER!

7. Im allergic to red dye. That is right... red dye! Lame, I know! But the weirdest part is the reaction I get when I eat enough of it... it punches me drunk! So red kool-aid... is pretty much vodka to me!

8. I am obsessed with pictures! I love taking them, I love being in them and I love looking at them! I feel like they are journals of life. I love how when I am looking at them I can recall awesome, silly, awkward, strange, random and hilarious stories or moments!

9. Watermelon makes my tummy feel weird. That's random right?!

10. I have a blue dotted scar above my left eye from poking myself in the eye with a pencil. You see... I was 3 and my new nephew Kerry was being born in Golden and I was excited to make him a present! So I decided to make him a pair of pants out of paper... well in the process I landed on a pencil. So I guess you could say my scar is turning 21 in may!

11. I love meerkats. I want one!

12. I love high school musical! I can admit it! hahaha I love musicals! I wish my life could be a musical!... I'm not joking...

13. I'm scared of the dark

14. I am really good at "kick the can"!

15. my nick name is Nads... and I am pretty sure I have heard every joke that could go with it. hahaha

16. I use to be a skater... as in a skateboarder. I secretly always wanted to open my own skate store and have my own skate clothing line... that would be AWESOME!

17. Im such a perfectionist! It's sooooo annoying. If I can't master something on my first try it ticks me off and I usually give it up and never try it again.

18. I love keeping my nails short and painted dark colours. Not cause I'm a goth but cause I think it looks so classy! But chipped nail polish is a pet peeve.

19. My fave band of all time is Our Lady Peace.

20. I love to organize files and papers... I actually love doing it! That's something nerdy about me.

21. I have a hard time killing insects. Don't get me wrong... I hate most of them... but I always feel bad for their little families and stuff. I know pathetic right?!

22. I love flat cold root beer. The fizz hurts my belly.

Ok this list is just getting really long!... I'm sure I could think of more... but ya... I think I'm done for now.

I'm wondering how long this thing will be when I publish it. Oh well!

I guess I should go to bed... I have a house to pack in the morning and a baby to play with!

Alrighty... until next time!!! hahaha

Look at me go!

So this me blogging! Woohoo!

I figured it is about time that I jumped on the "blogger train", so bare with me... I'm just learning all the tricks and trade.

Wow... now I don't really know what to say...

I guess I can start with where we are at in life right now. Ummmm. Well right now we are actually in the midst of moving... lame lame lame! Every year from May to Sept we move to Dallas Texas where Jarom works as a sales manager for Proz Pest control. It's a pretty awesome job. Jarom is really good at sales and it allows me to stay at home all year round with Vienna while Jarom is in school here in Lethbridge for Business and Marketing.

Don't get me wrong, I love Dallas a lot... I just hate not really having roots down any where. I constantly feel like I am always up and moving. It really wears on our little family. It feels like we are always going some where doing something! If we aren't in Dallas we are running back and forth seeing family on weekends and what not. As much as we love them... it would be nice to be able to sit still and breath. But I guess that is life right?!

Talking about family, we have a daughter named Vienna. She was born June 28th 2009, also known as the best day of my life!!! I can't believe my little girl is almost 10 months old. I never really realized how fast time goes by. I know growing up my mom would always say... "I remember when you were this big!"... and now I get what she means! Vienna is growing up so fast! I couldn't love her more though... she is the best thing we ever did! She is sooooo happy and so smart. It's fun to watch her figure out things and push herself to do whatever she can. She makes me laugh! It's also so fun to see her lil personality grow. She is so confident and personable. She always has the biggest smile on her face and I love it! I also love our afternoons together dancing around the living room to music. It makes me so happy to know she loves music as much as I do. As of tonight her new fave song has to be "back to the 80's" by aqua. I guess they have a new cd out. Anyways... we played the song off of youtube and she got sooo excited about it! She started rocking back and forth head banging and clapping! I was laughing so hard I was crying! It really was just that funny!

Ummm aside from our crazy moving schedule right now... it'll be really nice to take a break this weekend with Jarom to celebrate our 2nd wedding anni. Wow... two years! I seriously do not know where the time went! So much has happened in those two years, it just amazes me! It's funny how even after two years we still are learning so much about one another. hahahaha.

All in all I would have to say married life is AWESOME! I do not miss the singles scene one bit! It is so awesome being able to go to bed every night with my best friend and have him be the first thing I see when I wake up. He always makes me laugh... even when I'm trying so hard to stay mad. I love that about him. I also love that I can lean on him and trust him with everything going on in my life. It's funny to me how I fell in love with a basketball player. For anyone who knows me... I am not what you would call a basketball fan. I never realized how big of deal that was until I moved to Lethbridge. hahaha.

Well... I hope this wasn't tooo boring for people to read. I promise I'll put up cooler posts and pictures when I am not busy with moving. :)

Take care!
