So, here is an update on all that has been happening with the Gulizias.
Elle:
Elle was born on June 16, 2009 at 3:40am. She weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 20 inches long! That is honestly the single most defining moment in my life. I know that sounds cliche, but if your a Mama you know exactly what I'm talking about. Becoming a mother is something that I always knew I wanted to do, but didn't realize how much until it actually happened. Sal and I were overcome with joy, I can't remember my life before Elle. My Mama actually got to help deliver her and I wouldn't have it any other way. Elle is 2 1/2 months old now and as of the 19th of August she weighed 10lbs 15oz and was 21 inches long. She is growing and growing! She gives smiles now and is trying to giggle and roll over!
Us:
Sal and I had our one year wedding anniversary on July 12th. I can't believe that we have been married for a year and together for almost seven! Our love for each other is so much stronger now that we have Elle. She is the light of our lives. I get butterflies in my stomach when I see Sal with Elle. He is such a wonderful Father, and he adores his little girl. We both still work at Publix in the stores, but Sal will hopefully be going to the Bakery Warehouse soon and be making a little more money! That's always good, right? As for me; I am going to stay at the stores until I finish Nursing school, it's just easier that way. Hopefully I will be able to go part time next August when I start the Nursing Program. Right now I am in Anatomy and Physiology II, and Medical Terminology. So far they are going okay, but I'll tell ya more once I take my first tests, which is tomorrow by the way! I hate leaving Elle to go to school, but I just keep telling myself that this is what is best. Once I am done, our lives will be sooo much better. I cannot wait to be a nurse!
Our House:
Our house is slated to start building on September 7th. I can't wait! We have come a long way to be able to buy a house and we are so excited to move in! We are so thankful that my parents have let us live with them for so long, but its time we got our own place. I have to admit that I love having my mom around to help with Elle. I am always confident that she will know the answers to my questions, whatever they may be. After all, she is the reason I want to be a nurse. Our house is going to be in Winter Haven, which isn't too bad. It's only about 10 minutes away from my work, and my parents house! People keep asking me; "why Winter Haven?". Uh because it's cheaper!! I hope to work at the Regency in Winter Haven one day, so its perfect! I'll post more later about the house once they start building!
Thanks for reading! I'm new to the blog world so I'm sorry if it was long and boring!
