I had tried to avoid the camera through my pregnancy and the only photos that were capture were the ones my father in law managed to rope me into. I am grateful for Leisha and her talents and her willingness to capture my hugeness so I could remember what I looked like, even with her busy schedule while she was visiting Oregon. Thanks Leish!

"Um, excuse me did you know that sharks swallow fish whole? They don't even peel the skin off!"<br />
<br />

<br />
I love my sunbeams. And that is why I'm so sad that I was released this week! You would think after 3 1/2 years of primary I'd be sick of it. Well... maybe at times... but now it means I have to reintroduce myself into relief society. Not going to lie. That's a little bit scarier than primary. I have to be a big girl and do big girl things like socialize. Now, it's not that I don't want to... it's just an anxiety thing. I like everyone and I know nobody is out to get me. it just takes me a bit to warm up to others :) <br />
In other news, Christmas break was awesome. The whole family was here and it was so nice to spend time with them! We celebrated Luis' birthday by driving some go karts. The men and little (not so little) girls had fun while mom, Jess, Heidi and I watched and cheered them on :)<br />

Christmas was awesome! I had to work the morning of Christmas eve but had the night off. We had our time honored Christmas eve dinner at the Leishman house. They are so amazing and the food is always delicious! We headed home to get Christmas pj's, open one gift and read the Christmas story with the Stott clan then Luis and I ran off to his sister's house to eat some more good food and celebrate at midnight (Guatemala time so we didn't really have to stay up super late!) We headed back home, went to bed to get ready for the morning. We gave dad a 7am deadline to be out of the shower and ready because he likes to take his sweet time in the past. Well, we were up before 7. Santa was noisy. Unwrapping presents was a lot of fun. I got a sewing machine that I need to learn to use, a kindle fire from the hubby and lots of other fun things from the family. We had a family Christmas list that we can all see and make changes to and as a joke the couples put a Xbox 360 to play natzi zombies together on. It was a huge surprise when it actually happened! We then headed over to gma Judys for Christmas brunch! She goes all out and we always have delicious food and drinks and we always stuff ourselves! We unwrapped presents from grandmas and then headed back home to nap and play with toys. I love the holiday season because we just get to hang out with family and friends the whole time :)</div>
<br />
Look at this super cute cupacake! It was at my surprise baby shower! While my sis-in-laws and a couple friends were in town they threw together a quick and cute little shindig. I seriously had no idea. Kirsten invited me out for food and games which I was totally ok with since I would get some hang time with the bff. Kirsten, her mom and Sara said they had a shower to go to so they dropped me off but wanted to say hi to my mom real quick. I saw a friends car outside, but I was thinking that maybe she and her hubby were there to see my brothers so I didn't really suspect anything. I walk in and there are people sitting in the front room and surprise! I've got one lucky baby in my belly! We ate some delicious food made by my sister in laws, played some games, decorated onesies and opened some presents. Little man got some really cute, great and useful things. He's going to be one spoiled baby. Thank you to everyone that contributed. It made me feel so good :) <br />

Luis and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. That's 7 years of togetherness and I still like the guy! Luis brought me home some beautiful flowers. At that time I was on the phone with my OB nurse. She was in the process of telling me that I failed my glucose test and had low iron and needed to go in for the 3 hour test (yay...). No biggie. I wasn't worried. It happens. She continues to tell me "now that doesn't mean you have diabetes..." Well I wasn't thinking of that... but thanks. After I hung up Luis handed me a box of hand picked chocolates so you know they're gonna be good. That's when pregnant Britany starts tearing up and says "I can eat these!" A little dramatic, I know... Well. I still ate them. I was just didn't eat them in one sitting. We ended up going to Benihanas for dinner and it was great. The food was delicious and I got my onion soup and ginger salad that I had been craving for forever. Over all it was a great anniversary and can't wait for the next 5 years!</div>

I am 30 weeks along and I'm starting to feel it. I am tired all the time. I NEED a nap just about every day. The past 2 days my hips and the muscles right under my protruding belly have been killer. It started tuesday night, didn't sleep, had to get up early for the 3 hour glucose test wednesday and be vampired in both arms. I disliked not being able to eat and having to drink the worst. koolaid. ever. The muscle spams/cramps continued through out the day. There was NO getting comfortable. Heating pads, tylenol, comfort food, massages, pillows everywhere... nothing. It was a long day. I had to be up the next morning for work and was hoping it would all be over... Not so much. It certainly wasn't as bad. I worked, went home and slept some more and it felt great. Today I feel like a normal preggo lady :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At times I feel like this kid is going to crawl himself out. He is a ninja... or a break dancer. It went from, did you feel that? to, did you frikin see that?! Sometimes he hits a nerve or something around my left hip. Holy. Cow. It makes me yelp a little bit or want to double over at times. It's quite the love tap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My current cravings consist of yogurt, cinnamon chip bread from my bffs parents bakery, Bungalow Bread Co. (check them out on facebook), chocolate/strawberry milk (which is weird since I am slightly lactose intolerant. I take a lactose pill and that usually helps), those easy mac cups, my grandmas banana bread (who am I kidding, I crave that even when I wasn't preggo), and Tillamook mint chocolate chip ice cream. There seems to never be enough ice cream in the house... I'm not the only on that eats it though so it can be disappointing when I go to indulge in a craving and it's all gone...</div>

One can not achieve the optimal
milk to cereal ratio when eating from a mug. Some how all the bowls in
the house are dirty. All at the same time. It certainly isn't the end of
the world but it doesn't make it easy for this pregnant lady or Kitty
Rajah who likes to finish off the last bits of milk and cereal sticking
to the bowl.<br />

It was amazing to see our little man and not have to call you a dinosaur not that you look human! I was also happy to know all those little flutters I've felt the past week or so were actually my baby and not just my stomach being bubbly :) As real as the nausea and aches have been, today has made it a little more real and I'm starting to get pretty excited about it all, not that I wasn't before but now I feel we can really start planning and getting things ready!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><tbody></tbody></table>

That would be me. <br />
<br />
But only sometimes. I think I'm getting a little better as the sickness is dying down, getting my heartburn under control and I'm able to sleep a little bit more. When I say sleep I mean, after I have woken up at LEAST two times before the 'normal' waking up time to use the bathroom because I have the smallest bladder in the world. At least that's what it feels like. I also end up sleeping in the boys room because my husband snores like a bear with a chainsaw and if I stay and try and sleep through it... I get frustrated and just want to hurt him. (Love you sweetheart!) SO, I end up having a king sized bed to myself... and my cat, who also like to wake me up in the morning to tell me that he has no food. But really he does. Rajah just wants to walk down the stairs with him to show him that in fact he does have food. Good thing he's cute.<br />
<br />
Moving on...<br />
I am possibly looking for a new job. I say possibly because I have no idea what is going on with the job that I have now. There was a mix up with my background check at the Adult Foster home that I work at and had to do a new one. No problem. It could take up to two weeks to process. Took a week and a half. Called my boss, he cleared me to work again. Let my scheduler know (my boss supposedly called her too), she hasn't called/text me in a week even with my repeated calls and texts to her. Basically I'm not getting any answers. SO. Trying to figure out what to do next. I was planning on working up to mid April, health and baby progress permitted. Pretty much all the CNA positions I've looked into are not looking for an 18 week pregnant lady. Not working for the past two weeks has made me lazy and slightly depressed I think. I'll up for pretty much anything, except for going back to KinderCare, who has postings for jobs at just about every center right now... It doesn't have to be CNA related at this point. As long as I am able to help my hard working husband with saving some money I would more than happy.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, I'm a couple days away from being 18 weeks. According to the app I have on my phone, baby is as big is an onion.<br />

<br />
Yeah. Not a cute comparison, but it kind of puts it into perspective for me. I'm getting a little anxious to start feeling movement. Sometimes I think I do, but I can't really tell if it's baby or my rumbling tummy. Either way, Luis and I are excited to find out what it is on the 25th! I'm going to start the adventure of crocheting a couple baby hats! I'm not very talented when it comes to creative things... so we'll see how it goes. When I find out what the onion will be, I'll move on to baby blankets :) <br />

SO it's been a while. Like... 2 1/2 years a while I believe! Honestly... I started back up so I could keep track of all the happenings in the Diaz family... but if you asked me what happened a year ago, I wouldn't be able to tell you because I have a TERRIBLE memory. True story. Ask my loving husband. SO. Let's dive right in starting with the most recent news! We had a little running joke that Derek started when he got off his mission. He would say, hey guys, guess what... I'm engaged!... When he really wasn't. Funny haha. SO Luis and started saying, Hey guys, guess what... We're pregnant! when we really weren't. Here we are in Georgia taking a picture with Heidi's family. (Luis is taking the pictures)<br />

So it's true! I'm pregnant! 14 weeks as of yesterday. It's the size of a lemon. I compare it to a fruit because my sisters like to know how big it is and that's what the app on my phone tells me ;) Things have been good so far. I have had my morning sickness in the evening, didn't throw up once until a week ago, and I think it was because I had a small bug. I'm tired allllll the time and my hips are killer at times. Besides the constant grumpiness that my poor, loving husband has to put up with, I feel pretty good.<br />
<br />
In other news, the twins got married to their BEAUTIFUL wives this summer! <br />

That was a pretty big deal... They are all grown up and married and cute and now it's there turn to have babies! Just kidding. We're giving them a year. Maybe two.<br />
Devyn and Heidi got married in the Atlanta, Georgia Temple. It was beautiful and crazy hot pretty much the whole time we were there. We were greeted by nice little rainstorm of monster proportions. Scary trying to drive through that. Our hotel was great. Delicious breakfast buffet every morning. and not to far from The Waffle House that we got to try and the waffles... AWESOME. We visited Heidi's family, did a little shopping, enjoyed the wedding and reception. The boys and little girls went to six flags while the fiances, mom and I went shopping and to the bridal shower. After the wedding festivities we had a chance to go to the Atlanta Aquarium! It was pretty impressive :) Pretty much the whole time in Atlanta I was feeling sick, thanks baby raspberry, but I think we had a great time overall!<br />
Derek and Jess got married in the Bountiful, Utah Temple. It was also beautiful and almost as crazy hot. We got to have dinner with family at the Olive Garden, see lots of family at the reception and see a couple of friends! Luis and I stayed with a BFF Kirsten and her husband and also got to see Leisha and crazy cute girls! Pretty sure they should all move to Oregon... It's better here ;) <br />
<br />
That's all that is left in my brain for now... I will (hopefully) update some more in the next day or two. <br />

Long story short, we found out last Wednesday that the waivers were approved and the next day we were told the visa was approved and he could pick it up on Tuesday. We bought the plane ticket on Wednesday and he is coming home Saturday!<br />Anyone is welcome to join us at the airport to say hello. His flight comes in at 8:05 and I think we will be there at 7:30 to greet anyone who comes. Also, if you don't come that night to meet him, no worries, in the next couple weeks we will put together a shindig to celebrate his coming home.<br /><br />In preparation for his coming home I've had to do something drastic...<br /><br />Clean my room.<br /><br />I Know.<br /><br />Crazy, right?<br /><br />For those who know me... I don't do this very often... My rooms has always been an organized mess... to me at least... BUT I figured I should gut the place and with the help of my WONDERFUL BFF's and parents and even little sisters, my rooms looks brand new. Who would have thought?<br /><br />Anywho. I'm only a little excited. Whatever ;)Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-89539904559874007732010-01-29T08:00:00.000-08:002010-01-29T08:03:17.525-08:00Some serious thinking...okay... not so serious...But seriously.<br /><br />There have been some things moving around in my head. I've never really took new year resolutions/goals seriously. I feel that this year would be a good time to start that habit. Things the past couple years have been a roller coaster of all sorts and it would be nice to put things in order. A short summary of what's going on now I think will help with why certain goals are being made and maybe an update for some. <br /><br />This month makes it 2 years married to Luis. Luis has been in Guatemala for 3 years due to immigration problems. Last we heard from our lawyers, we are waiting for a waiver that takes 6 months to a year to be processed. 6 months was november. Lawyer says that nothing is going to be processed during the holidays but they expect to hear something after the new year. The anticipation is building up.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Goal: Be Healthier: Physically, Mentally, Emotionally</span><br /><br />I chose this one because I think if I can get myself on healthy path things will start to fall into place. I know it won't happen instantly or magically but I do know if I can just stick to it, I can make it happen. I'm a believer of mind over matter. I also know I don't always practice what I preach but I do find giving myself a reality check when I forger about this. <br />Physically:<br />Get my tooshie into a gym. Oh hey. I work at one... Crazy, I know... I tell myself it's soooo hard workout after I get done working... but really... I tell myself that because I am tired... all the time. Pretty sure working out can help with this. I need more energy. I think part of my anxiety comes from low self confidence and this is something that goes with the healthy path. I think this is something I can conquer. <br /><br />Second. I gotta work on not being so hard to approach. It's not that I dislike people or don't want to talk to anyone, I just have learned to keep to myself. I feel like I am butting into peoples business or invading some personal space. I really don't mind talking to people, I just feel more comfortable when they approach me first.<br /><br />Last... but not least, I'm going to continue building my testimony. I've been struggling the past year but I have never felt that it was a waste of time. My bbf Katie and I went to institute for the first time this week and it was pretty awesome. The teacher didn't exactly get to the lesson he had planned but I think there was a reason, and that reason was something I needed to hear. Having my brothers out on missions and seeing the growth that they have gone through in less than a year is kind of incentive for me to keep going. <br /><br />On a grander note, here are some updates.<br />The boys are doing great. They past their 6 month marks. They are such a joy to hear from and see the progress and development they are going through. <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S14KtndECPI/AAAAAAAAAGw/A3RxYIPYsMk/s1600-h/IMG_0969.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S14KtndECPI/AAAAAAAAAGw/A3RxYIPYsMk/s320/IMG_0969.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430789979456669938" /></a><br />Check out Devyn's awesome mandatory part. I can't remember the last time he had a part, but I think he's rockin it pretty well. This gentleman clicked with Devyn and his companion and when Devyn transferred I think it was a little hard for him. Dev does a good job keeping in touch.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S14MAsy7EkI/AAAAAAAAAG4/MFphA3qRCZU/s1600-h/IMG_0988.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S14MAsy7EkI/AAAAAAAAAG4/MFphA3qRCZU/s320/IMG_0988.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430791406819676738" /></a><br /><br />Derek finally sent pictures!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2Koh7jpCCI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/YZthh7Srm7g/s1600-h/IMG_1144.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2Koh7jpCCI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/YZthh7Srm7g/s320/IMG_1144.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432089401438570530" /></a><br />aight he cute?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2Ko2zBzhiI/AAAAAAAAAHY/i6YqGB-q_8c/s1600-h/IMG_1184.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2Ko2zBzhiI/AAAAAAAAAHY/i6YqGB-q_8c/s320/IMG_1184.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432089759926421026" /></a><br />A little bit of New York.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2KpKcl8KOI/AAAAAAAAAHg/KIyvmXtcdB0/s1600-h/IMG_1189.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2KpKcl8KOI/AAAAAAAAAHg/KIyvmXtcdB0/s320/IMG_1189.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432090097501350114" /></a><br />Derek loves Scrubs... so naturally he had to take a picture.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2KphrJ49JI/AAAAAAAAAHo/IP-BZt0jKc0/s1600-h/IMG_1256.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/S2KphrJ49JI/AAAAAAAAAHo/IP-BZt0jKc0/s320/IMG_1256.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432090496547222674" /></a><br />This is just one of the funny pictures Derek took.<br /><br />Not gonna lie, I might be a little jealous that my brothers get to see all these exciting things.<br /><br />I'm still working at the Bistro. Nothing to exciting goes on there but it's still a good job for school. I am still nannying and baby A will be a year old in feb. holy cow. It's so awesome to watch her learn and grow and discover new things. She's so much fun and so flippin cute and she will soon have a little brother to teach how it's all suppose to be done. <br /><br />Luis is still working as a guide for the cruise lines.

WELL. Apparently this waiver takes 6 months(which would be this nov.) to a year to be processed. When we turned in all the paperwork for the visa, including this waiver... we thought it all went together but come to find out that the waiver is something on it's own. Anywho, lawyer lady says they think we will get an answer from DHS after the new year but not any sooner because this is about the time government likes to take vacations to be with their families. Imagine that. Hm. Anywho, when the Visa center gets the answer from DHS they will contact Luis and he will be told when to go to the center so he can find out if the Visa is approved. The lawyers assure us that it most likely will be. Continuing to keep our fingers and toes crossed.<br /><br />I'm still working at the Bistro. That is seriously a job you do not want to keep for years. Adore my boss, not the work. I do love my nannying job though. She is such a joy to watch and play with. She has such a strong personality already and is crawling and pulling herself up and thinking she can walk on her own and she's barely nine months old. She's a good baby fix, and i mean that in the nicest way possible.<br /><br />Luis is still working at the car wash and cruise ships are back for the season. Things are a sketchy down there right now. If you aren't up for sad, I would skip this paragraph... A little girl that lived in the neighborhood, that Luis would see almost everyday walking with her sister, was kidnapped a couple weeks ago and held for ransom. From what I understand, after the little girls family agreed to paying the ransom when they were told their daughter was still alive, a couple days later they found her body. She had already been dead for 15 days. Unfortunately this is the type of stuff you can read about more and more these days. It's a shame we can't send Jenny(my sister-in-law) down to see her mom and I can't go see Luis even though I know if anything were to happen he would be there to protect us in any way he possibly could.<br /><br />On a not so sad note, the twins are doing great. The letters the write and email each week are Awesome. When i'm not so tired I post some fabulous pictures.<br /><br />My sister in law had her Quinceanera a weekend or two ago. I'd say it went pretty well. There was lots of delicious food and lots of people with a little bit of dancing here and there. I have pictures on my facebook if you are interested. We spent the morning setting up and blowing up balloons. Went and got her hair did extra curly. Stop to change and then off to get her makeup done at macys. Quick stop at subway to feed the teenagers. run back to the party spot to shove food down and wait for the limo. Take pictures of the birthday girl send them on their way. I run home and pretend to have enough time to get ready and gather everything I need, but when you only have 45 minutes with how long my hair is...not enough time... Run back to the party spot, set up food and cakes thanks to my Bff Katie, run around, take some pictures...and when i say some i mean until the cameras dies... There was a moment when she was about to blow out her candles when you knew all she wanted was her mom. Her god parents video taped everything so they could send it to her mom and brother. <br /><br />Well I'm off to get ready for another exciting day in the bistro.Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-31737582151196473872009-06-30T14:33:00.000-07:002009-06-30T15:12:54.007-07:00Jibberish and some cute MissionariesI know I have said this before...and I will say it again...<br /><br />My brothers are the cutest things ever!<br /><br />Here is a picture that one of Devyns MTC teachers sent today.

Unfortunately the postal system got the best of us and someone snagged the first memory card Derek had sent us! Sad day! Next time padded envelopes and duct tape...<br /><br />On another note...still no word on Luis' case. We are still crossing our fingers. Can't be anymore than 4 months now...but sooner than later would be great...whatev... ;) <br /><br />I've been keeping myself busy with work...as usual...The bistro is...well...the bistro...oddles and noodles of fun...and I've began nannying...which I love! She's 4 months old and learning so much. It's a joy to watch and be apart of and she's such a chunk and a cute chunk at that :)<br /><br />I have a little time off tonight so I thought I would dedicate some of my time to cleaning my room...the one thing I haven't been able to make myself do these past couple weeks...and of course I have already found something to distract me...I need to write to my brothers...Find some good music to listen to...Maybe find a drink...<br /><br />Yeah...<br /><br />Here it goes...Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-64063519360862916432009-05-19T23:36:00.000-07:002009-05-20T00:28:35.856-07:00Here it goes...Because I am super forgetful I wanted to jot down all my thoughts, but also because it is 12:30am and am running on about 2 hours of sleep from the night before...it all may not make sense...so when I have a chance I will go back and fix what needs fixin'. <br /><br />Derek became Elder Stott today. And Devyn is soon on his way! What a feeling! I think of my brothers as the cutest/handsomest things that walked this earth (minus my husband and father of course...but only for this occasion)...and they are...because they are my brothers... and they are hilarious and caring, responsible...when they need to be... they are laid back when they can be. Protective and smart, worthy and manly...I could go on but this would be a really long blog... To watch the process and progress that my brothers have been going through in just the past few months is amazing. Long story short, the feelings that I have experienced today is a reassurance that the Gospel that we know today is truly the word Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. As Derek was being set apart I felt like every right word had been spoken and that they were inspired by the Lord. I was tearing up even before they got started! Devyn and Derek have been such a great examples to me. I wish that everyone(including myself) could have the same enthusiasm that they have exhumed over the opportunity that they have to serve the Lord. <br />One other thing I had a chance to witness today was the power of the priesthood. Both Dad and Devyn had the opportunity to stand in on Dereks blessing and later that night Derek received a fathers blessing with Devyn by his side. I feel so blessed to be apart of a family that has worthy priesthood holders and they are able to exercise that privilege on any given day. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that the Lord is on your side no matter what happens. For this, I am truly thankful for.Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-76279588486504843402009-04-30T21:24:00.000-07:002009-04-30T22:06:19.111-07:00The waiting game. We're really good at that.Luis had his Visa interview today. BIG sigh of relief. He says it went well as far as he could tell. Now we wait. Some more. Again. But the wait won't be long, so it doesn't feel as tough. It's more just annoying...all the waiting...but soon it will come to an end. Soon soon. I feel like I repeat myself over and over again. But that's all I got. I'll let you know when we find out whats coming next.Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-90121406822816915262009-03-29T01:40:00.000-07:002009-03-29T15:46:04.493-07:00That's right...I have...TWO Amazing brothers. Devyn received his call yesterday (Saturday) saying he is to serve in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida Spanish speaking mission! Whoo! So...for those keeping tabs...that's TWO wonderful, not so young anymore, men serving missions on the east coast...both spanish...both will be in the MTC at about the same time. Derek reports May 20th...day before my birthday...Devyn reports June 10th. It's fun to see where life is taking them and to see the decisions they are making along the way. I feel blessed to know that I have willing and able brothers to do the Lords work, and even if they didn't choose that path, I have a feeling they would have served another way. <br />I'm just so excited! Also...a little sad...2 years is a long time...BUT, as you know...time and I are <span style="font-weight:bold;">best friends</span>...and I think it will be a little easier to say see ya later this time around. I just pray that they will be safe and healthy and have a good experience. <br /><br />One some other news, Luis has a doctors appointment for his visa on monday. That is just another step closer to having him home. So close. After a while you think...<span style="font-style:italic;">this is getting so old</span>...and you have a lot of "really? did that seriously just happen..." moments. or at least I do but they are slowly coming to an end...I hope.<br />I finally had enough money to send Luis for his glasses...he is pretty much blind and scares the jeepers out of me when he is driving...the fact that he drives a motorcycle may have something to do with that...ANYWHO...he now has glasses and I think he looks pretty darn cute. Yay for not blind husbands! <br /><br />Well spring break is over. I worked the whole time. Awesome. Back to school tomorrow and a fun filled week of work. Can't wait. Hold me back.Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-11708401155823934802009-03-09T21:36:00.000-07:002009-03-09T21:47:44.267-07:00The Big Day!Sooo....kinda got some good news...<br /><br />Luis has an interview scheduled for his visa on April 22nd! Whoooo!!!<br /><br />He goes in, gets evaluated and then of course...our favorite part...wait...but just a little bit longer. It could be a couple of days to a couple of weeks before he gets called back and told whether or not he has permission to immigrate to the U.S.<br />Our lawyer says we have a strong case so really we shouldn't worry, and I'm not to worried, but of course I can't help it. <br /><br />Things are starting to look up!Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-14559080834499653442009-03-07T00:17:00.000-08:002009-03-07T00:54:06.695-08:00Did you hear?!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/SbI2HkqurEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/k1De5ZRT1so/s1600-h/morristown+new+jersey.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 171px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/SbI2HkqurEI/AAAAAAAAAGI/k1De5ZRT1so/s200/morristown+new+jersey.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310366414353116226" /></a><br />J.

She said that they are working with another case that is about a month ahead of us and that case just got a call for their interview! SOOOO that means the Guatemalan embassy is moving a little quicker than we thought so it could mean that Luis will be getting a call soon! We are hoping that is the case and that everything goes well. We are hoping he gets to come home before the boys leave on theirs missions, but we will be happy either way.

But I'm going to anyways. Just had a little visit from my visiting teachers. I think they are awesome and they have cute little toddlers too! They faithfully visit me each month and I love that they put in the effort. It means a lot to me.<br />I'm still going to school and it's still kicking my behind. Lots of studying and note taking are in my future. I am still working, although less hours so I can focus on school and not feel so overwhelmed...although that means less pay...and that kind of stresses me out in a small way...but it needs to be done. <br />Luis is also still working, as long as the cruise ships come in. We are waiting to hear from the lawyers or visa center for Luis' interview date. We hope it's drawing near. I feel like it is, but I don't want to get my hopes up right yet. <br />What else? ... <br />I have a part time nannying job coming up. I'm excited about that :) I love kids so really it's a job I don't mind doing. And she she will be practically a couple months old...so I don't think I will have a problem with that. I think I will still work saturdays and catering events and the bistro but I really don't want to continue there for much longer. It's not something I was to do for the rest of my life although my bosses make it very easy to work there. I am very fortunate to have such an easy going atmosphere. The other day, one of my co-workers commented on how I still babysit and thought it was odd. Being 21 and married, and still babysitting. That's right. I love it. I think even if Luis was still here, I'd babysit, not so many evenings maybe, but you get the drift. I'd be a full time professional babysitter if it would pay the bills. Is there such thing as a full time professional babysitter? And I don't mean a nanny...but like...babysitting for someone different(multiple maybe), every day/week/month, call um' me I need to run some errands without the kids babysitter...?<br />Hmm. <br />Anywho. Not much else is going on. Just avoiding homework...<br />What are you up to?Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-91131400113863812532009-01-12T01:10:00.000-08:002009-01-12T01:42:49.994-08:00A matter of waiting...It's hard to believe that 2008 is done and gone but it also seems like it's time for 2008 to be done. I'm back in school...ugh...school...not a favorite of mine...especially with 18 credits to get through this term but it's essential...<br />Deciding to take 18 credits has limited my working hours to about 20...that's a kick... It's not nearly enough to cover half...or even a fourth of any upcoming paperwork bills Luis and I have coming up but it makes me even more grateful to have a loving dad who will do anything possible to get Luis back here in the states. I only hope we can repay him one day for all the love and support he has shown us. <br /><br />Keeping up with school will be a struggle, but i think I can get through it. Not working will be the struggle though. because my school hours are kind of odd, my boss can't work me in so I am kind of relying on babysitting jobs and anything else I can get my hands on really. One of my co-workers commented on how I still babysat and thought it was a little weird. Honestly I much rather be doing that than working at a bistro...I do have a nannying job lined up, but that's not for a couple months, and until then I have to find a way to keep afloat.<br /><br />A note on our paperwork, I met with the social worker who conducted my evaluation for my declaration for hardship for Luis' visa. That was a slightly emotional couple of hours. I was lucky to get a very nice lady who also agreed with families being reunited. It's hard to open up to someone you just met, but I think I managed to get my point across. Now we wait for the social worker to write up her report, send it to the lawyer, if everything looks right they send that with my declaration, the letters from family and friends, and I'm sure anything else that needs to be signed, in to the Visa center who then hopefully approves it, sends it to the Guatemala visa center who will then approve Luis for an interview. Luis has his interview. We wait a little and he gets called back and then they will tell him whether he was approved or not for his Visa.<br /><br />I'm trying to stay optimistic about it all going through. So far no problems. And I think it will stay that way. It could be less than 6 months until he is home and that's what I am hoping for!Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-64314299090894158242009-01-03T20:24:00.001-08:002009-01-03T21:18:20.795-08:001 yr Aniversary<span style="font-family:times new roman;">A year from now Britany and i got married it was one of the happiest days of my life. I just couldn't be any happier, I got to marry the love of my life and there just isn't any one better. I love her :) Its been a hard year for us but its almost over (hopefully). We have made it this long and a there is a little bit more left and our love just keeps growing, nothing can stop us. I tell her its like a fairytale and they all end up with happy endings and ours for sure will. i love you sweetie and happy anniversary </span>Netohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06541295685940494657noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-55933237408894757652009-01-03T17:20:00.000-08:002009-01-03T21:28:40.783-08:00Happy One Year<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/SWARlvYkJkI/AAAAAAAAAFg/izvTVcnfl2k/s1600-h/kiss+kiss.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7p8XMpvWHxc/SWARlvYkJkI/AAAAAAAAAFg/izvTVcnfl2k/s200/kiss+kiss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287245302605293122" /></a> Dated for a year, engaged for a year and now happily married for a year. It's amazing how time flies. It feels a little bittersweet celebrating our one year anniversary when we aren't together. It's kind of hard to make it a reality when I've only seen him for about three and a half months total out of the year. Hopefully it won't be to much longer until we are together again and live like a real married couple. I can't wait for that day. One day soon :) Until then we will keep living strong.

I'm taking the opportunity to write before it gets to crazy hot around the computer and I start melting on to the keys. I have so much going through my head right now. I've been in Guatemala a week now and I don't think I've felt this home sick before. I think it has to do with it being the holidays and things here aren't really the same as they are there. Luis and I were sitting outside and I heard a christmas song, Nsync to be exact, and I just kind of lost it. I'm torn between spending much needed time with the husband and the traditional christmas with family and friends. I think i finally kind of broke down last night after I stayed home all day while Luis was at work and I had too much time to think. I finished my book, listened to about all the music I could bare, cleaned, watched TV and of course sweat till I thought there was nothing left to sweat. I'm missing my brothers back from college, friends home for the holidays that I haven't seen in what seems forever, tree decorating, and the traditional gathering at the Leishmens...I could go on. I don't want it to feel like I'm ungrateful, because I am grateful. I'm glad I got to spend Luis' birthday with him and soon christmas and just the fact that we are together is a bonus. I just got a bad case of the should-of, would-of, could-of, and ifs and buts. I've been here 6 times. Still feels like the first when people just stare at you when you walk or ride by. I don't speak or understand spanish so it's kind of hard to talk to others and sometimes it's uncomfortable when things don't get explained to me. I get very self conscious and I have to stay on my toes when we go out. Even in the neighborhood I still have to be careful. Luis has some cute little cousins that live next door and they are fun to watch. I think we have been to the little...and when I say little...I mean it...mall...everyday just so I can get out of the heat. We did get to be a normal couple saw a movie in a real theater! Whoo! This morning we hired a Mariachi singer to come and sing this morning to Luis' mom Irma for her birthday. He was pretty good, didn't understand any of it. But it sounded good. Other than that, there's not much else going on. We are pretty much broke so we have to find things to do around the house or the mall. But we are together, so I'll survive. It's starting to get hot so I think I'm gonna get ready for the day. Did i mention that the shower water is cold...all the time...well it is...all the time...awesome...<br />Have a great Christmas!Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-68445563935785768382008-11-25T04:46:00.000-08:002008-11-25T05:03:23.256-08:00I'd be happy with just a box of chocolatesIt's true. Every year dad reminds us to have our christmas lists up before the end of thanksgiving. Fair enough. I can come up with a list of things that I would like to have, some seem more essential than just wants. The list is full of wishes, but I definitely would not be disappointed if I didn't get everything or even half on that list. I've been privileged enough to grow up in a home where every need of mine has been met and even most wants. Even now with my expensive trips to guatemala my parents have been a tremendous help even when they know I won't be able to pay them back right away or even in the next couple months. What patience and love that must take. I am truly blessed and thankful for my wonderful family.Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-52613246625239374822008-11-24T19:05:00.000-08:002008-11-24T20:20:04.738-08:00Some infoSo part of the process that we have to go through for Luis' immigration paperwork is a hardship process. Pretty much what we have to do is try and explain why it would be impossible for me to live in Guatemala and how Luis is such a great guy(which he is of course).The part where family and friends can help is writing a letter. So I guess I am asking, if you are willing, to write a letter in support of bringing Luis back to the United States. Here is a basic guideline:<br /><br />[DATE]<br /><br />NAME<br />ADDRESS<br /><br />To Whom It May Concern:<br /><br /> My name is [NAME]. I am a [US CITIZEN? LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT?] of the United States. I make this statement in support of the immigration case of Luis Diaz Jr.<br /> I have known Luis since [HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN HIM? HOW DID YOU MEET HIM?]<br /> [INFORMATION ABOUT LUIS – HOW HE IS A GOOD PERSON, FROM A GOOD FAMILY, HARDWORKING, OR ANY OTHER GOOD STUFF.]<br /> [INFORMATION ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT THINGS WOULD BE FOR BRITANY OF LUIS CANNOT RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES LEGALLY.]<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />[SIGNATURE]<br />[NAME]<br /><br />I know some haven't had the chance to meet Luis yet, and that makes it kind of difficult to write about him. The lawyers suggested to write as much as you know about him and maybe writing about what you have seen on my side without him here. The importance of family is a good factor to work in, meaning Luis and I as a family and me and my immediate (stott) family. Sending via email would be best but if you prefer the traditional way that is perfectly fine. If you have any questions just let me know! Thank you for all your support and help! It means the world to us!<br /><br />My email-britanydiaz521@hotmail.com<br />Luis email-luisdiaz504@hotmail.comBritanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135620242822234506.post-74198429664450751622008-11-22T19:56:00.000-08:002008-11-22T20:12:06.128-08:00Change of plansSo my last blog said I was going to the Carolina Liar concert...Not anymore. Bittersweet. More sweet than bitter. Ok a lot more sweet than bitter. I'm going to see the hubby and won't be around here to see them. Little sad about that. Was really looking forward to see them again but I'm much happier about seeing my husband. I'll be gone for Christmas...and it will be my first Christmas away from my family...and in another country. We'll see how it goes. Either way I am way excited to see Luis. It's long over due. Maybe this will be the last time I will have to travel to Guatemala to see him?

It's just the pits. I must have some kind of major case of writer's block. It doesn't help that I have two papers due and I can't come up with any ideas or any way to put my very minimal ideas onto paper. I have no motivation. None. There has got to be a way to get past this. It's just taking me an awfully long time to figure it out.<br />Other than the slue of homework I feel like a little school girl.<br />Why?<br />I read through the Twilight series...yet again...<br />I really just enjoy reading them...and I'm excited for the movie. Again, little school girl feelings. Can't help it. I'm on team edward. I feel like I'm the oldest person(not that I'm old...I've been told I'm still a baby...thank you for that...?) out there excited about the books and excited about the movie... But. I'm sure i'm not?<br />In concert news Carolina Liar and The Airborne Toxic Event are coming to portland on the 18th of December and I'm way excited. I saw Carolina Liar just a couple weeks ago and they were AMAZING and now I <span style="font-style: italic;">have</span> to see them again. They are that awesome. I got to meet them after the concert and seriously...they were so nice. Tickets are only 12 bucks and it's at the Crystal Ball Room so if anyone is interested my friend Katie and I are going to go and if you need a concert buddy you are more than welcome to come too!<br />Here is one of their most known songs. I'm Not Over<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u3GmxgJeg48&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u3GmxgJeg48&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Britanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05210885031784407272noreply@blogger.com0
