I know.....Ok So I know I have been MIA lately... I have good reason... really I do... :-) I am so excited about the fact that I am in the process of totally redesigning my blog. Its going to have a new name, new look, more frequent posting, posts on things such as decor, party planning, thrifting, renovating, living a life in ministry, being a working mom, being a stay at home mom. Follow me as I (try) and turn the everyday into something exciting and real with an ounce of glamour in there somewhere. I am really excited and already have some really cool stuff lined up. Hopefully everything will be done here in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned :-) In the meantime does anyone have suggestions for a blog name that involves the before mentioned subjects. I have a few catchy ones in mind (thanks Autumn) but wanted to see what else you guys had for me :-)<br />
<br />
So excited....<br />

I was so proud of us for making such an "adult"/ "old married couple" purchase, at the time it was so exciting. On a whim I decided it was time for a change. No real reason other than boredom {i'm learning my boredom can get me into trouble... please see "buggy gets a buzz cut" post for further examples} but now I am so glad I did. As much as I loved those couches I am so excited to see them go to a new home {you rock, Elyse!} and now i LOVE the way our place turned out.... </em></span></div><span style="color: black;"><br />

In order to do that I was going to have to look at thrift stores and craigslist (insert gasps of horror from the audience) to really make my living room complete...That is exactly what I did! Let me tell you I will NEVER pay full price for furniture again!! I am addicted to thrift stores and I am going garage sale-ing tomorrow... I am a changed woman...</em></span><br />

<span style="color: #e69138; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Yesterday my best friend Shandra and I took our babies out for a whole day of fun. First we took the kids to the orange groves to shoot some pictures. That ended up in somewhat of a disaster. first,there were no oranges AT ALL. Then it was hotter that fricken heck out there with horrible shadows everywhere... that makes for grumpy babies and crappy pictures and therefore tired mamas... it truly is like balancing a chemistry equation :-) Anyways I did manage to capture a few cute snapshots:</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> <span style="color: orange;">Shandra and I met when we were both first pregnant. Its funny our pastors wife, Ann, introduced us and said "You have to meet Shandra I just know you will be great friends" She was so right. She is one of the girls that not only i connect with purely just in superficial interests (shopping, photography, shopping, going for walks, shopping, party planning, decorating, shopping) but that I love diving into the mysteries of God with. I always have such a great time with her. We have such a special bond because of going through our first pregnancy together, sharing the joys (and trials) of becoming a mommy, and now to see our babies play and share puffs in the back seat is SO cool... we love spending time with you Shears family... we love you!!</span></span>Mrs. Doeziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12400912925892159282noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429351341506488905.post-22477052540772952542010-03-25T23:32:00.000-07:002010-03-25T23:32:19.549-07:00{it's buggy's birthday...and he'll rock if he wants to...}<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">To say this past year has gone by fast would be an understatement...

The colors were so vivid. the only bummer was that it was high noon so the sun was not ideal. i actually had stumbled across the groves in an <em><strong>ill-fated attempt</strong></em> to get home from a class at CBU. I did finally make it home, not only did i have a great time rockin out to some (much needed) worship music but i found these orange groves and a <span style="background-color: cyan; color: white;"><strong>tiffany blue</strong></span> house with boarded up windows... <span style="font-size: large;"><em>pretty much the greatest thing ever!</em></span> so much fun to learn how to use my new camera. I was so bummed when we finally made it back to riverside i could not, for the life of me, find that <span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">awesome</span> house. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em><span style="color: #b45f06;">I know this past year has been one of difficulty and turmoil for most people in America and I know how immeasurably blessed we are. but man, this has been a tough year... James and I are waiting, waiting, waiting for what the Lord has for us. praying that we are in His will and accomplishing the things He has called us to. I never pictured myself as a working mom and as much as i am in love with my work it doesn't fulfill me the way my family does. i thank god every morning i get up at 4:00 am that he has allowed me to have a job so I can contribute right now... its still hard. ughh... I am so ready for 2010! bring it on baby... <span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: large;">{so glad i got that blubbering out of my system}</span></span></em></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">1.) <strong><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><em>love more:</em></span></strong> <span style="color: #b45f06;">i want to serve regularly and be more connected to those in need. this also carries over to more patience for my patients, seeing as they are the least, last, and the lost when they visit me in the ER.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">2.) <strong><em><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">be a better wife:</span></em></strong> <span style="color: #b45f06;">dont even know where to start with this one. I love my husband so much yet so many times i greet him with my scowly face or give him the eye roll of death the moment he says something that doesn't meet me standard. I want him to come home to the wife he married. the one who had dinner ready for him... and clipped coupons... and always looked nice... and always had some lovin' for him...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">3.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>put more effort into buggy:</em></strong></span> <span style="color: #b45f06;">i feel like i use the excuse "he doesn't understand yet" to justify my lack of parenting with my sweets. and while he may not <strike>be the brightest buld in the box</strike> there yet, i can sure be implementing in him the traits i know the Lord would want me to instill in him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">4.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>be more proactive/ procastinate less: </em></strong><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">not off to the world's greatest start considering it is 3:00pm and my son is still in his jammies, teeth and hair not brushed, and he smells like an easter egg on labor day... </span></span><span style="color: #783f04;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">5.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>really get to know my camera</em></strong></span><span style="color: #b45f06;">: i want some flippin sweet shots man</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">6.) <strong><em><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">learn to sew:</span></em></strong> <span style="color: #b45f06;">any takers??i have so many ideas and drool over all the different blogs i read I need to get down and dirty and just make something already</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">7.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>go on a REAL vacation:</em></strong></span> <span style="color: #b45f06;">just me and the hubs.get on a jet plane. with luggage (my beautiful louis vuitton luggage that i only used in post-partum at the hospital). someplace exotic. one day.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">8.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>learn more spanish:</em></strong></span> <span style="color: #b45f06;">85% of my patients speak spanish. enough said.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">9.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>be a better nurse</em></strong></span>: <span style="color: #b45f06;">there is so much i have to learn. I never want to grow stagnant in my learning. I want to push myself for new experiences.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">10.) <span style="color: cyan; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong><em>get preggo</em></strong></span>: <span style="color: #b45f06;">woop woop! <span style="font-size: x-small;">{considering posts 3&4 i'll be surprised if the hubbs will agree with this goal}</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">we had a <span style="background-color: yellow;">great christmas</span> this year... the realization kind of hit me that this might be my last christmas home for a couple years because of my job I will most likely have to <span style="background-color: yellow;">work</span> those holidays. It was so nice to have this year off though. as cliche as it sounds there truly is nothing better than seeing christmas through the eyes of a child... even if that child is <span style="background-color: red; color: white;">pitching an everlasting fit over the fact that he has to wear a santa suit...</span></span> <br />

He has had some major accomplishments lately... The biggest one would be that we finally caved in and tried the <strike>torture</strike> <span style="background-color: yellow;">"cry it out"</span> method at bedtime... I was so nervous and truly to think about the possible scarring and traumatizing my son was about to endure. (I may be a little <span style="background-color: yellow;">dramatic</span>) But now that I am working full time I need my beauty sleep (for the sake of my patients haha). So the first night was a <em>little</em> rough, really not bad tough. Since then he has slept through the night completely! <span style="background-color: yellow;">SERIOUSLY??</span> five months of no sleep and this it all it took?? Oh geez... Lesson learned!</span></span><br />

We were forced to take a furlough day every other week which means I only work 36 hours a week! Its obviously a little bit of a financial hit but I am so glad to have one more day with my men! I am learning so much each day I work. I feel like it is <span style="background-color: yellow;">growing me as a person, as a christian, as a mom, and a wife</span>. I see so much sadness but it is so awesome that I get to be a LITTLE part of maybe turning some of that around. I may ask my preceptor a million questions, I may look like an idiot sometimes because everything is so new, I may not be a good nurse yet, BUT if I can reassure a scared mom, or bathe an ailing elderly woman, or bring hope to a man who can't move anything but his head than I feel like <span style="background-color: yellow;">I am succeeding</span>. I feel like I am right where I need to be... Its hard not being with my loves all the time like it used to be, but if this is how it has to be i am totally fine with it. Don't get me wrong: sometimes when I am collecting a sputum sample or cleaning an incontinent patient or have to hold a baby down for a procedure I take to step back and think, "is this really what I do all day??" sometimes its not <span style="background-color: yellow;">glorious</span>. a lot of days I feel as though I haven't helped anyone... each shift gets better...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New;"><em><span style="font-size: large;">Update on Mr. Doezie:</span> </em><span style="background-color: yellow; color: black;">I</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"> am so lucky to have this amazing man in my life!</span> He is my strength... My everything. We just transitioned to another local church and I can honestly say it was the MOST Heartwrenching things we have ever gone through both indiviually and as a couple. I feel like Rancho Community is going to be a good fit and its nice meeting new people but every sunday morning there is this <span style="background-color: yellow;">small twinge of pain in our hearts</span> for what we feel is missing with Lambs. On a happier note, James starts Azusa Pacific in a couple weeks! He never received an accredited high school diploma and is the first person in his family to go to college... <span style="background-color: yellow;">I couldn't be more proud of him!</span> He is so excited! </span></span><br />

Oh well...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">On another note James captured this video of bug laughing... we think its hilarious. No one else probably will because in all actuality it is just a baby laughing BUT not just any baby let me tell you... This is the sweetest, most adorable, [stinkiest] baby you ever did see... so add that with a deep hearty belly laugh and you get this video...<br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ok so I have spent the last 30 mins trying to figure out how to load this 2 minute video and then I realized it would prob be easier if I just told you to go to www.youtube.com/jamesdoezie and click on "Eli Laughing"<br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">Anyways... Not a whole lot else going on here at the Doezie house. James is almost done with school for spring just to start right back up for summer. The good news is though, that he starts Azusa in the fall WHAT A BLESSING!! I start work in a few weeks {insert sigh of self pity here}. As much as I am sad that I have to leave my baby while I go save lives {insert sarcastic chuckle} I have come to realize that 3 days a week really isn't that much. I know it will seem unbearable at first but I feel so blessed to have gotten a job not to mention a job with amazing opportunities.. I think as women in the church and in ministry people feel like they have the right to tell you how you should raise your children and handle your husband (especially since I am so young this makes people feel even more entitled to sharing their opinions). The majority of what I hear is, "How can you leave your baby?" or "I couldn't do it" like the fact that I can makes me a bad mom. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">I AM NOT A BAD MOM.. Im not, im not , im not!!! </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">One thing I have realized in my almost 3 months of mother-dom is that being a stupendous mom may not just look like satying home full time--> don't get me wrong this is my desire--> but could it possibly be that being a good mom and wife could actually look like working?? My husbands burden as the provider isn't lifted but for the first time we will have a plethora of savings, a down payment for a house, and the ability to not live paycheck to paycheck. I trust the Lord will provide whether or not I spend three days a week in the E.R. I guess I just see this as an opportunity... anyways sorry for the rant ... this narrow view that so many women have been trying to push on me and making me feel guilty for not living up to is just heavy on my heart...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">{just a disclaimer} I long more than anything to be a stay at home mom. And think that is the hardest most unappreciated job there is. I almost feel in a weird way by going to work I am getting a break. me working is just the situation for now...</span><br /></span></span><br />{this} to SHALL {pass}Mrs. Doeziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12400912925892159282noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429351341506488905.post-7479361563596837742009-05-23T13:35:00.000-07:002009-05-23T13:40:54.513-07:00our first walk...<span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;">We received this awesome carrier for our baby shower.

HOLY cow... I almost threw up. So I victoriously captured the culprit and managed to get him outside. I thien call my all but sympathetic husband to explain my new need for possible counseling and he so nonchalantly said, "Oh yeah, I saw that last night in the closet."
