crossfit

Tonight is going to be an exciting one because i'm going back to crossfit after taking a few weeks off (baby stuff) And its even better because chris is starting crossfit for the first time! I started looking into crossfit back in august, took an intro class and signed up for the on-ramp which is a month long beginners class to prepare you for regular crossfit classes so you learn all the movements and correct form. I fell in love and have been doing it ever since! I was never the kind of person who was good at staying motivated and fit i hated it so much to be honest but i've gone through pregnancy,a c-section, being a mom for the first time and carrying around all the left over weight it certainly doesn't help that i was overweight before i was pregnant also but honestly crossfit isn't like the hamster wheel at the gyms and zumba. What i love about it is that you are always with a trainer in a group and you can scale down the movement so that form doesn't suffer because really its not like your gonna walk in there and be able to do a pull up or even a handstand push up so there are scaled movements so that your still working to your full potential without hurting yourself. I have so much every WOD i really do and i never thought i'd fall in love with something like this and i swear in the beginning i was always visualizing the part in Fight club when edward Norton says "A guy who came to Fight Club for the first time, his ass was a wad of cookie dough. After a few weeks, he was carved out of wood." and i just visualize myself pushing myself past my limit and being all tough. Its a little bit of a dramatic reference haha! But i do go a little crazy in my head sometimes. I'm also a huuuge movie buff so that doesn't help!

Sundays

Tonight is our weekly backyard screening of Walking Dead! It started over the summer when we got a projection screen, we would watch a horror movie with the family in the backyard and it was so much fun because it was warm and We would always order a new movie from the on demand channels and it was a blast! We started it up again for the premier of Walking Dead this season and its really become a thing. i love it because it really brings us together and its great to catch up and watch our favorite show all together.

Eventful

Chris and I went out with friends last night thanks to his mom for watching our bub. It was nice i felt out of place allot of the time but i always do almost anywhere anyway so i guess thats not really relevant but we did have a great time with my two buddies Amanda and Melanie. This was our first time at both bars we went to so it was really exciting. We started at a bar called Hope and Anchor and It was really casual and...unstuffy? I don't know I liked the vibes there mostly and so did Chris. We ran into our friend Lorena whom Chris and i met back in the myspace days like 7 years ago and found out that Amanda had recently met her when she took a trip to Austin a few weeks ago, they totally hit it off over there so if was a fun little reunion for all of us. We spent a while there and to be honest i probably would have liked to have stayed there the whole night but Amanda wanted to take us to Black Market. It was just down the street but paking downtown is a nightmare so it took a while. After we got down we started walking over to the bar and once we got inside i swear it looked just like how my apartment was decorated. The music was epic i even spotted this guy from the crossfit gym i go to. I couldn't help thinking that it was weird to see him with a shirt on. All in all i had a great time, i mistook strangers for people i knew on two occassions,embarrassing!  But a great time! Just as soon as we got home our little guy was waiting up for us with a big smile and it was the cherry on top of our evening, and really our lives.

Days like these

chris is playing COD since he has tomorrow off Valentin fell asleep in my gray v- neck he looks adorable because its huge on his tiny little body but he looks too cozy to change him but he’ll be warm tonight because he’s sleeping with us. I’m pretty certain that i want to darken up my hair quite a bit. I’ve decided i probably want a level 4 i have really light hair right now compared to chris and my little guy and i want us to all to look like a little family plus its getting colder and i’m always drawn to dark hair in the fall/winter i always wear brighter colors during this time also which most people reserve for warmer weather but i’m opposite i looove dark colors during summer with light hair. We stopped by Michaels and it definitely looks like i can get all my supplies for the christmas gifts i’m making everybody this year and for cheap! We’ve had sushi 2 nights in a row this week first my dad treated us and tonight it was chris parents. We are so lucky to have people who love us and treat us to sushi!! good night c:

Happy Halloween!

I carved a pumpkin for the first time and sliced my fingers open (not part of the plan) I'm a huge embarrassingly clumsy kook. We met up with my dad at our favorite sushi place and ordered a sumashi soup to split as always. Chris and my dad always end up with the most to talk about since they both share a passion for vintage cars and motocycles, my dad and i mostly talk about the past because unfortunately thats all we have. Starting over can be a little challenging. I knew my father as a child in one way, ten years later i'm an adult and i'm getting to know him just like he's getting to know me, and not just me now but my husband and my son. Life has never been better though i'm so greatful to god for everything i have. I know allot of people these days don't believe in a god or they believe in science and thats cool i respect that but i have always believed with the entirety of my being that there is a god and he listens. My dad and i have always had this in common, We talk about this allot when we get together also. On the way home after sushi we spoke to my brother in law Juan, Chris older brother he's a marine stationed in Arizona his wife is also named Vivien and she is pregnant! this will be there second child together and they are really hoping for a little boy (i think Valentin has a little something to do with this) We called them to check in and send our love. We're home now winding down, i'm working on getting some photos up but i don't want to half ass it with instagram so i'm looking at some cameras for this blog honestly i just want a safe place to collect all the special moments, a place i can be honest and document this beautiful piece of time we've been given. We're just passing through but theres so many wonderful things i never want to forget and thats what this is for.

Housesitting

this weekend at my dads on the westside was cool i just got back. It was just me and valentin until chris came home from work and i had dinner waiting for him last night it was cute to see how things would be if we had a place of our own i know we will have it someday though i already know where i want to live ;) Things have been really great on friday chris parents took us to ft bliss for some tax free shopping i got some new trainers finally! And a bunch of under armour gear for crossfit. I am currently looking up DIYs for christmas gifts and I keep wanting to buy so many books on amazon because they are so cheap! I have such an itch to read like i used to, but i know i won’t get a minute to read not with my little guy crawling,standing and learning how to get off the bed(that last one will be the end of me) this little boy is gonna have me busy for a very looong time! I love him so much. Tonight is our weekly backyard screening of Walking Dead WHOOP!

Where the time went.

I created this blog 2 years ago after i fell in love with a few other bloggers. I was 20 years old then, i am now 22 i ma married and i have a 7 month old little boy and honestly happier than i have ever been! There is so much i want to document and pieces of this new life that i never ever want to forget my objective here i guess is just to share my perspective which at times can be significantly awkward and uncomfortable yet full of so much joy and love at the same time.
