I was browsing through old photos of when we first got here and I just realized how much Kiara and Josh look alike in this picture. Daughter and Daddy both have the forehead, the same eyes and sorry Kiara but unfortunately you have a unibrow just like daddy too hahaha. Oh and i forgot that they have the same exact feet, its pretty hilarious! She's mostly all me though...thank goodness. Just messing Joshua ;-). Such a cute photo. Its amazing how fast she grew and how we been living here for 10 months...its so surreal.

Expensive Florida...eek!!

Dear FLORIDA:

Why must you be so expensive?. 3.69 a gallon for gas which equals out to 60 bucks for my tank. Almost 4 bucks for a gallon of milk..and let it be known that Kiara drinks her life away in big glasses of milk...that child. Also 1300 a month for our place. Insurance is ridiculous. Over 200 for our phone bills. Groceries, electric bill etc. Our expenses are ginormous compared to AZ where our lovely old house to rent was only 650 a month in San Tan Valley. Okay i'm done venting because while i was visiting in Arizona i noticed how the cost of living in AZ is soooo cheap. I still love Florida though its paradise here and I can literally walk or ride a bike which i don't have to the beach lol (my next item on my bucket list)...lets just hope one day I could move to Austin Texas or OREGON----> i'd so love that because living in those 2 places is a lot  cheaper haha and i'm a cheapskate. Its pretty funny how my husband teases me about looking at the grocery list and if something is wrong i go back to get my .50 cents. He's the total opposite. He'll just grab anything and go with it. I'm a penny saver and i'm so proud because I can seriously shop like no ones business and spend very little on certain outfits.

This last weekend I found some Anthropologie dishes for 1.95 a piece i had been eyeing them for a while but i waited.....and waited....and waited some more, till they made their way to the back and into my arms. I love them so much and i'm so happy for my purchase. Amen for me. Well this turned into a blog lol. I guess i was in the mood to blog about how fun and expensive good ol Florida is. I'm slowly getting used to your expensive world Florida.

The end.

This was our stay at my in laws. It was a rather busy time with sheila, who is the girls camp director. So  yes me and kiki had fun helping her out with some girls camp stuff. She is amazing at what she does, no wonder she has been the director for the past 3 years. And every lesson she teaches just goes beyond measure. She's so creative and fun i sure do love my mother in law. Aside from all that we had fun in Palm Desert we went out to eat went to the street fair, visited my grandparents in Moreno Valley and then stayed in a hotel in Laguna Beach for the night with the in laws (in my own room of course). Laguna beach is beautiful. 


Fourth of July...shes beautiful.
