expanding

I see this is the new "in" thing to keep family and friends up to date, so I figured, why not? Let's give it a try. I can hear my mom in the back of my head saying, "y si todas tus amigas se brincan de una cliff, tu tambien lo harias?!". I wouldn't because she has taught me well, but either way, Welcome to my life!

Let me give you a run down of the Garcia 6. That consists of me, my main squeeze Robert, our handsome and smart son, Bobby, the light of our lives, Juliana, Angelina ballerina, and "baby baby" (still cooking). This all started back in 1998. I saw Robert and his mom at IC church in his Navy uniform and he caught my eye. I have to admit I was smitten by him. He just looked so prim and proper, I think I may have drooled a little bit. I didn't see him again until we started school at CLC that same year. We began dating and I fell in love. We had Bobby in 2000 and married a month later. From then on, things were a little rough. We split up for a few years and Angie came along. We were finally legally divorced in January of 07 only to heat things up in June of 07. By July, I had become pregnant with my daughter, Juliana. Little did I know she would be the glue that would keep us together. It was a difficult "restart" for Robert and I, but we made it. I was determined to have my family back together and here we are. I am pregnant with baby #3 due in April. Yep, another April baby. This baby is due April 16th. Eight days after Juliana's 1st birthday. Man, did we move quickly. So, you see Bobby went from being an only child to having a house full of siblings. All sisters at that. I know for those of you that don't know the entire story, you might be a little confused. Angie, is my step-daughter, Robert's daughter. We have her every Wednesday for dinner, and every other weekend from Friday to Sunday, but our love for her is constant. It's been a whirlwind these past two years. Bobby has had a lot of adjusting to do. I can tell you that he seems to stable and I know he loves his sisters. He was hoping baby #3 would be a boy, but it looks like he will forever be my one and only prince. There has been a lot of expanding (and it's not just my belly) that we have done in such a short period of time.

We have had a lot of changes. Some we weren't expecting and other's that we have had to fight for. It hasn't been easy as things aren't usually handed to us. We have hit lows but it seems to me that right now, we are cruising at a comfortable altitude only to try and reach higher. I am happy with where my life has taken me thus far. Maybe if we won the lottery I'd be even happier, but I know that money doesn't buy you happiness. Plus, I hear you have to play the lottery in order to win. I guess I should start soon. But for now I count my blessings and I am thankful for what we have. I love my family!
