It's been over a month again... as y'all know I am just bad about blogging! lol.
I will keep this one short and simple, just give you a little of whats been going on!

well the end of October I spent a week in Florida, the people I work for went their and took me with them, I had a wonderful time it was nice being at the beach :)  Mr. Chris (the father of the boys I watch) parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary so I was invited to attend and to help keep a eye on the boys, it was such a sweet moment to see such a sweet couple celebrate 50years, they are such a inspiration to others, they have a true love for God and each other! but also while I was their they spent two days house hunting, yes that means they are moving to Florida and I will be looking for a new job in February! They have been such GREAT people to work for, and their kids are absolutely some of the sweetest boys I know! I will truly miss them, but am looking forward to trips to Florida to visit :) I just keep telling myself it's not goodbye, it's I'll see you later!!

Thanksgiving was just last week, and it flew by... it was nice for Nick and myself to be off work for a couple days :) and we always enjoy spending time with our families! it can be a struggle to juggle both families during the holidays, but after 3years we got this! lol.

Nick, Armando and me went Black Friday Shopping, and it was so much fun... it's they only time you can go to target, rue 21 and the mall at 5 in the morning :) & I must say we got most of our Christmas shopping done, woohoo! and online shopping is a PLUS!! just a couple more things and I am COMPLETELY done! :) I told myself I was not doing in last minute shopping this year!

on top of our thanksgiving, our house is now ready for Christmas we have our two tress up at my house :) & Nick and myself have our own tree in his room which is pretty good size that we got last year for free, and our first baby tree we had together is in my room :) and of course the one in Nick's room isn't your average Christmas tree when it comes to the decorations, lets just call it a little "country-fied" :) but we love it!! I will post pictures later!

and that is pretty much it for now, hopefully I will blog again before Christmas! but for now...

Happy Holidays from Nick and Allyssa!

It's been awhile!

As you can tell it has been over a month since I have posted something new... well that's because I forgot my password, and I just now remembered it! lol. 

The last post I did was back while I was in El Paso, TX! & nothing has really gone on since then just been working tons, it is a good thing I love my job :)

I am not so good at this whole blog thing, but it is 3:30am and I can not get to sleep... so I am just gonna start blogging away!

Well first off, I have been extremely happy... this past year has been amazing in so many ways!

I have an AMAZING God, who is my rock, I start everyday with God!

I have a wonderful family who helps me through everything!

I also have such great friends that always are there for me!

and of course there is my most wonderful boyfriend Nick. I am gonna talk about our relationship for a little cause it is one thing that means so much to me, and has been on my mind tonight!

for those of you that do not know, Nick and I have been together for 2yrs and 10mths! We are proud to celebrate our 3yr anniversary on December 20 :) 

We met October 25, 2007 and talked for 2mths before I agreed to be his girlfriend, when we first started going out we had quite a few people who said it wouldn't last and we had a couple of our "friends" try to break us up... well I would like to say that we have made it this whole time with no break ups :) and we now use "Livin' Our Love Song" for a theme song :) lol. 

One reason our relationship has been so strong these past 3yrs(almost)is because of God, we both have been in church our whole lives, and now we attend church together at my Church, Hope Presbyterian,  and at his church, Easthill Baptist. God is always first and we grow together with God, we could not be where we are today without him. He has done some amazing things in our relationship!

We have been through so so much together, good and bad.

- we have experienced some great friendships together, some of those who we are still great friends with and others we just went down different paths, and we still care about our old friends and they will always be in our prays but sometimes it is just better with out them... we are looking forward to making new friends down the road!

- we experienced a shooting together, which was a long journey.

- we have experienced a hospital visit for nick & a couple hospital visits with my family!

- all our bad moments have only made us stronger, and looking back I couldn't even tell you reason we  had a bad moment, some stuff we just like to laugh about it now!

- we are so thankful that we get along with each other families :) 

- everyday is a new experience!

there is never a dull moment in our lives, Nick is always cracking jokes and just being himself... and I hate to admit it but my blonde really does show sometimes, and nick is for sure the first to notice my stupid comments!

I could pretty much go on and on... but I am gonna stop here and maybe in the future I can pick back up on this blog and continue with our story!

I am looking forward to many more years with Nick, as we are planning on getting married here hopefully in the next 2 or 3 years :)  

He makes me feel like a princess :)

okay will I was gonna share a couple of my other thoughts but now it is 4am and I am finally starting to get tired, so I guess this will be it for this blog! Thanks for those who took the time to read my blog :) 

have a wonderful day :)

I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

Today is the 9 year anniversary of 9/11. I will always remember that day like it was yesterday, I was in the 5th grade at Cordova School. The Principle got on the intercom and told elementary teachers to go to the multi-purpose room and middle school teachers to go the gym. When my teacher came back she was crying in at that time i had no idea what was going on, she finally told us that 2 planes hit the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Being in 5th grade I didn't even know what the Twin Towers were, but I did know America was under attack. I went home that afternoon and just cried cause I didn't know what was gonna happen. Every year on this day I always remember sitting in that classroom and watching the news. I will also always remember the many people who lost there lives on 9/11! I give my thanks to all the men and women who stood up at a time of need to help our country, and for the men and women who are still fighting for our country today! I could write days and days about this day so I'm gonna just keep it short!

Today was a pretty busy day for us... me, Emily and Britt! Was up at 8 cause of jack jack so we got to cleaning and got ready to head out for the day. & first off emily made something for her and she made the fire alarm go off haha, yesterday was B today was Em! Anyways back to my day... we drove around on base and took pictures then had to rush home cause she had a personal emergency, bahah, you would have to be there! Then we went to the cementary to pay our respects, we were looking for the ones that died in Iraq, but no luck today there was way to many people to look through :( & jack was getting hot! After that we went back to the flag and watched taps! :) it was such a wonderful thing to watch!

we went back to Em's place and relaxed! but shortly after B and myself decided to go get drinks from wal-greens, and let me just add because here in Texas they have one way streets we have to take 3 blocks to go to the wal-greens a block away, ugh. & might I add we had chili hotdog's for dinner and i put a towel over my lap just in case I made a mess it wouldn't get over Emily's couch, and as I was sitting down Em said, "Well I don't want you to make a mess all over my towel either," well as soon as I sat on the couch my plate completely dropped all over my arm! hahaha. We now just finished watching "The Messenger" it was good, but yeah the ending pretty much just ended... now we want to know what happened to everyone, ahhh. now its time to go to bed, church in the morning and shopping with the girls :) goodnight!

Three Best Friends!

Hello Everyone :) 

So Emily and Brittany talked me into making a blog, so i did! well to start this off im going to write about today, my trip to El Paso/Ft. Bliss to visit my future sister-in-law and nephew, and also B is there visiting them as well!

I have only flown once before which was about 4 years and it was with my cheerleading group, so today was the first time I would be flying alone, which I was really excited about but also very nervous. My flight out of Memphis took off at 10:55am. So Nick, my boyfriend, took me to the airport at 9 and he stayed around till I had to go back to my gate, I hate having to say goodbye to him even it's only a week! I landed in Dallas/Ft. Worth at 12:20 and had 25min to get off the plane, take a tram from C to D, go to the restroom and board my next flight, now that was not fun! I finally landed at 1:35, El Paso time, which was 20min early :) Emily, Brittany and Jack Jack were there waiting to pick me up, and of course they made a sign that said "welcome back from fat camp" hahaha. and Jack is getting so big :( 

B with the sign!

 

 

 

 

  

at the El Paso airport :)

we really didn't do nothing the rest of the day but hang out at the apartment, but we always have so much together! emily made cupcakes and dirt&worms for me :) she's the best! & we have decided since Emily will be moving in Nov. and this will be mine and B's last time here in El Paso we are gonna make it a "Ft. Blissin it up" doing everything and anything we can possibly do here!

Yummmmy!

Em has been watching her neighbors dog while the wife is out of town and her husband has to work during the day, well he told Emily he would be home about 9 tonight, so when we went outside with Jack she was gonna get the dog, and well lets just say she walked in and he was home early from work and didn't tell her, hahaha! & also Jack became "best friends" with the neighbor downstairs, who Emily has complained about and during that B has found out that he is very good looking, lol. we always get ourselves into awkward situations. Brittany made us pizza tonight and set off the fire alarm, bahahaha
but at least it was goood :) but thats about it for today now were just talking, blogging, listening to music and trying to sing, hahaha! :) goooodnight.
