I am thankful for..

There are many things to be thankful for in my life. I feel very blessed as of late. Maybe it's the time of the year and the holidays here.

1. Our home. It keeps us warm and dry. It's been raining cats and dogs all day today. It fills my heart with gratitude to have a place to call home!

2. Zumba. I love that class! For those who know me growing up, you know I do not exercise. But after having two kids you feel the need to lose those extra pounds. :) So after joining the Y in the summer, I got the courage to go to a class and fell in love with it! And I love the group of women that have also joined the class. So much better with friends!

3. My children. They continue to amaze me everyday. I love that I am with them at home all day. Hannah is learning to give me kisses when I say "Beso" or waves "Good-bye" when you do the same. Malachi has an imagination and creativity when it comes to superheroes and fighting them. I am grateful that Heavenly Father has entrusted me with these little angels. They bring me joy everyday.

Our Story

Jacob and I met with the help of my uncle, David Martinez. My uncle was the bishop of a ward Jacob served in during his mission. He gave Jacob my cell phone number, or so Jacob thought, during a phone call Jacob had with him after his mission. I had already met Jacob during his last two weeks of his mission, Norma introduced us, because his last area was my home ward. Jacob and I started hanging out in Provo when Fall school semester started at the Y. And that's how it all started.

Jacob and I were married on June 2, 2007 in Dallas, Texas.

We lived in Provo, UT while both of us finished school on April 2010. Jacob majored in Sociology and I graduated in Chemistry.

We lived on the East Coast, Delaware to be exact, for almost 2.5 years! We enjoyed it. Made some amazing friends! I loved the warm, mild climate and all the green trees! I guess because it reminds me of good ole' Texas.

We recently moved to Frisco, Texas. And are loving the area!!

We have a 5 year old boy who's into action figures and loves music. He will start kindergarten this Fall 2013 and is learning to read. He is good at math. He has the most charitable heart and is the best big brother a sister could have.

Hannah "banana," like we call her, is 2! She is into action figures just as much as her brother. We are slowly introducing her to Disney princesses and is a Little Mermaid fan. She loves to mimic her brother and follow him everywhere. She is my drama queen and the one that tests my patience the most.

Rachel is such a mellow baby. She is coming up to 7 months. She is my big baby! She is starting to become more interactive and sits up on her own. She is sleeping through the night and slowly eating solids. Her routine consists of eating, sleeping, and exploring the world. As long as she's fed and diaper cleaned she is content.
