Well it's finally happened...me and AJ finally got ENGAGED!!!! We have been together for what seems like forever...but we are extremely excited!!! We haven't set any date as of yet...we are just trying to save up some money before we start the planning...so far we have decided on 2 years...but I will keep you updated!!!

Newest member of the Family!!!!

I am happy to introduce you to our newest family member...Jacob Michael DuBrink!!! He was born yesterday...9lbs.8ouces and 21 inches long...He's beautiful and Heath was such a trooper!!! I am sooo proud of my big sis!!!

New Apartment New Start!!!

So for those of you who don't know I moved over the summer and things have just been chaotic since then..between work, takin care of Daphne, spendin time with the family, the girls, and AJ it's been an action packed summer...it's almost over which can only mean FOOTBALL season!!!! I love football season!!!! the only bad part is that it makes me miss cheerleading:( Through all the chaos that has been my life my family is about to get 2 new additions which I'm excited about!!! Heatho and Kurt found out that they are having a boy(no name has been decided on as of yet) and Meggie is prego(don't know the sex yet) so we have our hands full...my mommy is about to be a grandmom of 4 and I'm going to be an aunt again!!!! So the fam is ready for all these new adventures...I'm looking forward to just getting away on my cruise with Ambre and Sarah...that should be lots of fun and I think we all need to just get away!!! Besides that things in my life are starting to fall into place!!! Within a year I should be a certified teacher which is extremely exciting for me...and I can't wait to finally settle down in a school and have my own class!!!

Been Meaning to Blog!!!

Ok so ALOT has been going on, and I just didn't have the time to blog...not that you are all dying to know what's going on..Well anyway,so the reasons that I've been so busy are that I just moved into a new apartment...and might I add that I hate moving, and if I ever have to do it again then I'm paying someone to do it!! Then there's Daphne...she has been occupying ALOT of my time..but she's gettin sooo big, and today was her first day of puppy school...I know I know school for a dog, but I realized I know nothing about raising a puppy so I decided that we both need to learn. Her teacher was in love when she saw her...as is everyone else..The biggest news of all is that in December I'm going to have a beautiful new nephew!!!! Yeah that's right Heatho is havin a boy and FINALLY adding to the DuBrink clan!!! I'm so excited and can't wait to go shopping!!!! Well that's about it from me!!!! I will try to blog more often!!!

My baby Daphne!!!!

I got a new puppy and I love her already...she's a 6 week old bulldog...enjoy the pics!!!

Debbie's Going Away Party!!!

Ok while everyone else was getting stuck in a storm(I guess I should have watched the news) I was drivin to South Jersey to celebrate Debbie's last day in Jersey for some time at Adelphias...oh how I miss my girls in Jersey!!! I was sooo happy that I could make it to see her before she left....and I miss her ALOT!!! I'm just hopin that she comes home soon...I know that Esther is dying..lol...so here's some pics for you guys to enjoy!!!

Fun Times with all my ladies<3

What a great night!!! Ok at first I thought it would be a little awkward...my girls from high school meeting up with my girls from college and then throwing AJ in the mix...but turns out everyone had a great time!!!! Well then again how can you not when alcohol is involved...it was sooo nice seeing Esther again I forgot how much fun she is and made me realize that after all this time it's like she never left my life...I guess that's what having a true best friend feels like....and then let's not forget Debbie who was the life of the party!!!! She was all over the place...it just brought me back to high school, she was my partner in crime whenever Esther didn't wanna get into trouble...then AJ, Sarah, and Ambre....it's so nice that my oldest friends in the world got along so great with AJ and the girls!!! Overall it was a great night, however the highlight of the night had to be when my big sister Anne leaped on my back and tackled me to the ground like a football player over a damn tampon!!! I will never forget that probably because my hip is hurting this morning from falling on my knees and face first down on the ground like I was being arrested...but hey noone can say that they have a cooler sister that me!!!! She tackles you for a tampon and can "get low" who else can say that about their sister??? Don't wanna forget my baby sister Meggie, I hope that you had a great birthday!!!!

*Finally, I ask that you all put Debbie in your prayers because she's leaving for Iraq in June...the Navedo family has part of my family for the longest time and I know that they will be in my families prayers, but I just ask that you all pray for her safe return...and keep her family and son in your thoughts*

SO BASICALLY TAKE YOUR ASSES OUT AND VOTE SO WE CAN GET HER HOME SAFE!!!!!

4 years and still going strong!!!!!

So Valentine's Day and our 4 year anniversary all in the same weekend!!! I'm so excited to go out to dinner with AJ and spend some time together, just the 2 of us!!! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life!! He has truly made me a better person. If it weren't for him than who knows where I would be. He has stood by my side through all the hard times, and been there to pick me up when I felt that all was lost! Through all the craziness he has never left my side!! Even more my family loves him to death(Brandon never gets excited that Aunt Kelly is coming to visit he only wants to know that Uncle AJ is coming). I love him soo much I don't even know how to put it into words!!! So here's to a wonderful anniversary and spending a lifetime with him!!!

Sorry it's been awhile....

I haven't written in awhile....did I mention that I HATE winter!!! It always gets me sick. I've had all kinds of viruses, shingles, and now strep throat(thanks to AJ) So needless to say I can't wait til Spring!!!! Other then that, nothing really new going on. I do however have to state that I am extremely disappointed that for the 2nd time Tony Romo has choaked in the playoffs and yes T.O. did cry on national tv, but what can you do other than hope that things get better for next year. What made it all worse was that they had to lose to the damn Giants,which means I got to enjoy phone calls from Nesta....even though I completely hate the Giants I am rooting for them to knock off the damn Patriots(who I hate more) I have this thing about rooting for the underdog.
Today when I read my e-mail, I saw this e-mail from Nesta about NKOTB, and for those of you who don't know New Kids on the Block. Ok, I LOVE THEM!!!! And yes I'm not afraid to admit it, I still rock their cd's in my car. It was about a reunion tour, and I'm sure it probably won't be for like another year or so, but I'm so there!!! It got me all excited!!!! NKOTB always makes me remember how obsessed Nesta and Dani were, I remember Dani had an album dedicated to every newpsaper clipping. It was crazy!!! So I'm really looking forward to that!
I'm really excited that one of AJ's friends from college(Josh)just got engaged to a wonderful girl that I got the pleasure to meet at Albright Nora, they are just so perfect together. I can't wait to get together and celebrate their engagement!! Hopefully, by that time they will have set the date!!!!
So I've never really liked the month of February because of Valentine's Day. I never really had anyone to share it with or anyone that made it great. It just made me think of all those sappy cards(the ones that Nesta loves) and made me hate to see those happy couples. Not until I met AJ did I not hate when this holiday came around. I know it sounds cheesy, but it's the perfect holiday to be cheesy. Well, as another Valentine's Day is approaching soon, I want to make it special because not only is it Valentine's Day, but February 15th is me and AJ's 4 year anniversary as well!!! So I wanna do something to show him that I love him and appreciate all the love that he gives me. It seems like we have been together forever, but I can honestly say that this has been the best 4 years of my life, and I can't wait to share the rest of it with him!!!

So in closing, I hope that winter is treating the rest of you way better than it's treating me, and that you all have someone in your life that means as much as AJ does to me!!!!!

Been a while...

Ok it's been some time since I last wrote, and alot has been going on. I had such a wonderful dinner with my family to celebrate my mom's 57th b-day!!! Me and AJ brought my Wii so we could all play which was very entertaining!! Kurt was getting all into it and Pie Pie kept smacking her hand into the mantle. Not to mention that Pie and Margie were having their own grudge match over the Wii, and Pie was giving her a pretty bad ass whooping. It was fabulous!!! My mommy looks incredible for being 57, and I'm so proud of her!!! She found some fashion aside from her Comcast t-shirts and straight leg jeans, I guess that's what happens when you realize that your kids are all grown up and now you can get back to the way things were before you had kids. She lost a ton of weight and now has a fashion sense!!!
So AJ is going to be an uncle soon!!! I'm excited!!! His sister is going to bring a beautiful baby into the world, and I'm just hoping that this can bring her and AJ alot closer. Babies tend to do that to people. I have always been close with my sisters, but when Brandon came into the world it changed alot of things. I look at the person that Brandon has become and I'm so proud to say that MY BIG SISTER has made him the way that he is today! He is so passionate for such a little kid. And of course Katie!!! She is a little princess just like her mommy!!! Part of me knows that when his sister has her baby AJ will just fall in love the way that me and my sisters have fallen in love with Brandon and Katie!!!
Me and AJ are great!!! We are starting off the new year completely in love! Things are going so well, and I am sooo happy! He has helped me to become such a better person. He has been there to support me through all the ups and downs that I've had in my life. He has become my stregnth and has helped me to become a better person. He is more than a boyfriend, he's my family, and I feel blessed that he is apart of my life!!!
I hope that you all have someone in your life that has changed you for the better, and if you do let them know each day how much they mean to you!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!

Ok so the year didn't start off good because I had food poisoning....but I think it's going to be a great year anyway!!! Christmas was fabulous....starting with AJ suprising me with the Wii that I asked for!!!! I was really starting to think that I didn't get it, but I was wrong...Then spending Christmas morning with Brandon and Katie(and of course me and AJ got the best gifts again this year!) Then spending the rest of the day with AJ's family, which was great!!! So me and AJ made some good resolutions this year! Hopefully, we can stick to them, and maybe it will get me the rock that Nesta wants for me so bad!!!! Happy New Year everyone!!!
