Another year in review.

On the occasion of my upcoming 25th birthday...yikes! I think I need to commemorate the event with a year in review. What a year it has been and I dare say it has been the best year of my life yet.

One year ago I was quite pregnant working lots, and anticipating the arrival of our little girl. Today I've been home for over 9 months with Anjileta and loving every minute of it ( well, most of the minutes). I just can't believe that in only a few short months I have to go back to work and leave my baby with someone else to watch her. I hope and pray that I will be able to juggle work, family and parenting along with a little time for mysef in there.

I love being a mom and Jil's beautiful smile make me so joyful. I have so much to be thankful for. A wonderful husband, my lovely girl, a great family, lots of friends and I thank God for these things daily. I am one spoiled girl.

I can't wait to see with the next year has to bring.

Does anyone check me anymore?

I doubt that anyone checks this anymore but if you do here are a few photos of my amazing and beautiful daughter Anjileta at 7 months of age. She is the happiest baby I know and also the most persistant baby I know. She knows what she wants and will make sure she gets it. She gives the best snuggles and goofiest looks. What a treasure she is!

A few new pictures for all you stalkers!

Don't ask why I can't get rid of this picutre...

Yeah, Yeah

Ok already...I know I suck at this blogging stuff and it's been forever since I updated the world with the happenings at the Beer house! The first and most important news is that Soccer Player #1 is on it's way!! We are expecting this new arrival December 25th and are so excited to meet this little person! Here are a few pics of my slowly growing tummy.

The las few are taken in England and France... yet that is the mediteranean sea that I am in!! We had a great time and saw so much stuff and ate lots of gelato!! we miss is already but it is good to be home!

well, we're home from our amazing trip to Campbell River to see Jeff's brother Ryan, his wife Amanda and meet their new son and our new nephew Keenan! It was such a relaxing time just hanging out with them, seeing the town, and getting to cuddle with our newest nephew. He is a gorgeous little man!

As you can see from the next picture, our family is obsessed with soccer and they all start soccer practice young.

the best part was probably the fire on the beach. Who else gets to say they had a bonfire on the beach in early March. but sadly I have no pictures of it becuase I was too busy taking pictures of Keenan. I miss him and his parents already. I also miss the flowers that are blooming out on the island!

I have a feeling that work just gets in the way of my life! Don't get me wrong, I like my job but I'm starting to feel like I live at the hospital. Today is my one and only day off all week... a full 24 hours....great. Tomorrow is technically work but it's learning fair so I basically sit there and then have a first aid class. Until our trip to Campbell River I don't have more than one day off at a time... what is up with that? And while I'm complaining I'll have everyone know that working nights literally kills you. Seriously, there have been studies done. If you haven't done it before you just can't know how terrible it is. Yes, I still get about 6 hours of sleep during the day but it's just not the same. Then I feel iritable and then I write crabby blogs like this one. Thanks for letting me rant! Cheers.

Here is Keenan Beer!! Ryan and Amanda has him on Feb. 3rd and he is beautiful. The next day Ryan had his appendix removed so it was quite an eventful few days for them! Jeff and I will be heading out to the island to see everyone in early March. We are soooo excited for another nephew!
