Road trip!

We are currently headed to St. Augustine for a weekend of fun & games. The game being UM vs. FL . My dad has instilled in me the die hard support for UM, so I will forever be a fan. On the other hands, two of his brothers are die hard Gator fans, so it is an ongoing family rivalry whenever the two teams play each other. We decided to meet up and watch the game together, and they will be meeting DJ for the first time. It should be lots of fun, and I'm hoping the rain holds off! 

Day 6: Mancandy

Meet my hubby, Alex! He is the man of my dreams and my best friend. We started dating the end of our Junior year in high school, although we were in the same class all year :) He is Salvadorian, so he has a nice tan all year round (I'm super jealous of that). He is into cars, specifically Japanese cars, and loves to drift. When we met he had a car and it was right hand drive, meaning he drove on the opposite side. When he picked me up on our first date, my mom was so confused and thought I was driving his car. It was quite funny. I was so clumsy on our date, I spilled soda all over his glasses and the table, whoops! He is funny, charming, and a bit sarcastic at times, but no where near as sarcastic as I am. He went to school for Welding and currently works for a yacht company, welding and installing towers. He is the BEST father to our baby boy, I am so grateful for him. 

Day 5: I have a secret!

It's not really a secret if you know me very well, but for those who don't, here it is! I was an Irish Step Dancer. I have a very strong Irish background, and when I was younger I really enjoyed step dancing. I danced for Harling Irish Dance Academy and preformed as a dancer in the annual Renaissance Festival. I was the top medalist in my age devisions as well as an elite dancer for the academy. I really wanted to go to worlds, but unfortunately my dance ended abruptly when I tore the ligaments in my ankle. My ankle was able to completely dislocate from the socket, so I had to have surgery. After that, it made dancing hard because I was not able to "rock" and dance with loose ankles as you are supposed to. It was fun while it lasted, but it was upsetting the way it ended. Ill have to go through my scrapbook and find old pictures, since I'm doing this post from my phone :) 

Day 4: What a beautiful day

If you have not picked up on the obvious yet, I am head over heels obsessed with my baby boy. The best day ever is when my husband and I welcomed our first blessing into the world. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I could not wait to meet him. All of his ultrasounds made me so much more anxious and I was so ready to be his mommy. When he finally arrived I was so overwhelmed with joy and love, the feeling is indescribable. 

Day 3: Happy place

I'm happiest when I'm cuddling with Daniel. The bond I have with him is like nothing I can begin to describe. He warms my heart, brightens my day, lights up my smile, and takes away any sadness I have. My other happy place would be the beach! I used to be addicted to going to the beach, but haven't been much since I have been pregnant and now have Daniel. But once it isn't so blazing hot, we will be having many beach trips :) 

Day 2: Guilty Pleasure

If I have to narrow it down to just one, my guilty pleasure would be shopping for my baby! I have a really bad addiction, and should have an intervention before it's too late, but I just can't help myself! I always convince myself, mom, and husband that these are things he "needs" but deep down, I know the truth... He's spoiled! He has so many toys and clothes, probably more than all the kids in my neighborhood combined. 

Oh well, at least he'll always be happy & cute!

This was from one shopping trip, when I was pregnant! Not including his 6 drawer dresser ! 

Day 1: My Story

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona on June 3rd,1993. Soon after I moved to sunny South Florida with my Mom, Dad, and older sister Meghan. I danced, horseback rode, and did color guard all throughout my school years. I go to our community college and major in Nursing. I would love to be a baby nurse or a lactation consultant. In my junior year of high school, I met my now husband, Alex. We have been together for 3 years & 4 months, and married for 9 months! I became pregnant with the greatest little blessing in July, 2012. I had a pretty up and down pregnancy, sick the whole first trimester, and high-risk from the middle to the end. I delivered a PERFECT, healthy baby boy on April 1st at 8:18 p.m, weighing 6.6 lbs and 21 inches long. His name is Daniel James Castellon, and my world revolves primarily around him! I looooove to cook and eat, mostly the eating part. I am pro extended breastfeeding, babywearing, anti-circ, and all that other "hippie" stuff :) I will always put my family first, and rarely do anything that doesn't involve my son or husband. I love to travel and it would be a dream of mine to travel the world with my family. I want 6 kids, and that's not going to change. I'm a young mom, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Marrying Alex and having my little boy are the greatest things that have happened to me!
