Our World....

Life has been pretty hectic and crazy over here in the Jones-Granneman household. We are slowly adjusting to the changes that have happened over the past couple months, and eagerly look forward to the changes and amazing things of the future.
Each day Is a work in progress. When you live with someone who is almost exactly like you in a lot of ways, ( stubborn, forward, and overall down right amazing) it is so weird working hand in hand with someone who has their own thoughts & feelings, but wont budge because they are THAT hard headed. Sometimes I wonder -- is this what its like dealing with me when I am so darn stubborn!?? -- LOL….
Adjustment with the kids has been going well. Slowly Zachary is warming up more and more to Mom's house, and truly enjoys going there with Whitney during the day. They eat ice cream, watch TV. Play with trains, and toys, read books, etc. and TAKE NAPS!!! :) It is so awesome when Mom gets home from work and there are my boys!! I LOVE IT.
E is getting SOOOO big! He is 6 months now, and we are going to be taking him in for his checkup -- stay tuned for stats!! He gets up on his arms, and puts his legs under him and rocks, so I am thinking crawling is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! :( Where has this time gone!!??? He hangs out by the couch and can stand for a minute or so by himself holding on to the couch. He is so strong!!
His laugh is so contagious, and his smile is 10 times that adorable!!! I am so in love with these boys!!!
Zachary is getting more and more brave to just start trying to say words. Whenever he wants something, now he attempts to say the word. He is getting SOOO much better at talking. Some new things he has started saying are:
Bye-Bye Mom; Go Bye-Bye
Cupcake <--------SO Cute how he says this
Pot-Pie <--------even cuter how he says this word!!
More Please
Zachary is going to be going into school alittle bit early. We are going to get him caught up on speech, and then once he gets caught up to where he needs to be, we will test him back out of school until he is old enough to enter the Pre-K, or kindergarden program, depending on what his Dad and I agree on. I am so proud of him, and I just love how amazing these boys get each and everyday. They make their Mom so PROUD. :)

Changes are coming to our family -- and I can't wait to have a beautiful "step-daughter & son" if thats what you want to call it -- even though Ryan and I have no plans on ever marrying, or making this more on a legal level. We enjoy our space, freedom, and at the end of the day coming back together as a couple and having that relationship we know we come home to at the end of the day. But, it is going to be amazing to know two wonderful little kids that come from a guy who I really care about!! Cant wait to spoil you Ms. Anabel, and do lots of fun "Mommy & Me" things when you are at our house-- and Mr. Jaxon -- you are going to fit right in with my boys!! Ethan is your age, and I am sure you boys are going to be close as ever! Your Daddy is one amazing guy -- and he cant wait to make this more permanent!!

Til Next Time...

I know 100%

I am in love with you Mr. Granneman!!

You are my favorite person to stare into your eyes! Your smile is like no other, and warms my heart, each and everytime I see it! You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met!!

1. You are charming. What a personality! Got me by surprise, and swept me off my feet~~ and I couldn't have asked for it to have happened with a better person!
2. You are intelligent. So smart, and amazing at how analytical and brilliant you are! If anyone is witty in this relationship, it is YOU! :) I am so attracted to how smart you are.
3. You are such an amazing lover. The way you hug me, the way you crack my back as you attempt to give me the hymlic manuever! LOL. The way your touch feels as you lay next to me. The way our bodies connect! The way you hold my hand, and squeeze it at just the right moment, or tickle the inside of my hand with your index finger!
4. The way I can look into your eyes and see your thoughts, and how you can do the same with me. I think we connect on a much deeper level emotionally to be able to do this with one another~!
5. The way you think of me, and always have me on your mind no matter what. The way you show me in the little ways that you care. You are such a sweetheart.

I LOVE YOU RYAN -- and i want to scream it from the roof-tops!! You are one amazing friend, lover, and boyfriend. I love you, and I promise to never take this relationship for granted! You mean the world to me, and to my boys!

So, I am just this girl~~

I love being silly, and hanging with friends. I love being with someone who enjoys the time that is spent with me. I love being "Me" cause thats what I am good at!! I am outgoing, loud, fun, & I am witty, (or so I have been told). I love laughing, and I love everything about life that is simple, and "just works." I am really easy to get along with.
I want people in my life who take each word I speak to heart. Who listen, and know that I mean what I say, and I do what i say as well. I am a thinker. I have to have a plan, good and bad. I need to know what way I will go, or how I will overcome something that was not planned for. I am not over analytical -- and most of the time do not over think things. I am very mellow, as long as I feel comfortable, and know that what decisions I am going to make are going to make me into a stronger, better person. I look for each life situation as an opportunity to learn and grow. I still learn things daily, about people, and about myself.
I am a simple girl, with simple wants in life: ( Or what I believe are simple things)

1. To fall in love with someone who loves me, for me.
2. To hang out with the most amazing group of friends, who always put each other first, instead of thinking of themselves.
3. To have a solid family, where when each other are together, there are times spent making memories, and setting foundations for rituals in the future as we grow older.
4. To make sure that each person I encounter knows that I am the type of person to give the shirt off my back to make sure that others are taken care of, and happy. This is who I am, and who I love to be!!!
5. To do kind things for people, each day. Always do some random act of kindness. FOR EXAMPLE: This morning, I bought the persons order in the Starbucks drive-thru, and told the lady to tell them to pass on the good deed to someone else today! I am so sure that made their day -- I know how I felt the 1st time that happened to me. :) I will never forget to always do good deeds.
6. To have the most amazing job, giving back to people. Making a different in the world. Knowing that each time I go to work, I am doing something for others. This could mean completing my degree and doing what I want in life. Going on to Law School, and becoming the attorney that I dream of being. Or going into the Criminal Justice system, as a police officer, or some other area of law enforcement. Could be currently the job that I do now. I do not know what direction my life will take me -- but all I know is, I love having a rewarding job.
7. To raise the most amazing kids ever! To focus on family, and building a home where there is love, and closeness. I cant wait to put a "home" together, and STAY THERE!!!! Ah, I think I have seen enough moving to last years!!!

I know what I want, but putting things into words, is sometimes difficult for me. I can think about things and just make it work, but trying to tell you about it, is alittle more work than I sometimes can do. Ah what I wouldn't give to get my bluntness back again. When I say things, I mean them. But, I have a bad habit to sometimes talk before I think. My bluntness gets away with me. Whoops. LOL.

I hate how sometimes I can hurt people who mean a lot to me. I push them away.... but at the same time, scare myself that I can have such amazing thoughts and feelings about things, or people and then maybe I start "thinking" too much. I sart looking at situations, and start running thoughts through my head, or situations which could result in decisions that are made by other parties. Scary -- but, I have to plan ahead. Most of the time, I plan for the worst, because sometimes I am too nice, and in the end,.... lets be honest... the nice always lose. Nothing ever happens in my life, or should I say currently which stands by my side, or ends up lasting. Most of the time, this usually happened because I never allowed it too. Now-a-days, I dont know what the deal is, but I wish I did. What the heck is wrong with a cute girl, with an amazing personality!!?? JUST LET IT SHINE, AND I WILL BE MYSELF!!!

I want just the simple times. Happiness, love, togetherness, and most of all to be a team, and have the most amazing family. All in a nutshell -- I know I have this life at my fingertips. Will I be able to hold on,.... or will it slip through my fingers? I guess only time will tell -- but people need to know that I am trying, and I am giving what it takes to hold on. It always takes more than one person though -- or else everything in life would be so easy and obtainable. BORING.

Thats all for now ... check back soon -- I am sure I will have more thoughts!! :)
