I havent wrote in soo long. I’ve been busy with school work and christmas shopping. But Im done with school for 2 weeks and im done christmas shopping well for the most part.

This year will be so different. For one I am away from home, I wont be spending it with my family…secondly Im on my own to cook haha. This should be fun since I cannot really cook. But its nothing to hard just italian/polish foods. All fish and pastas. I think I can handle it. We didnt get to bake this year which sucks but we didnt have money to get all the stuff we needed. All i baked was peanutbutter bars which were awesome! And christmas eve were gonna make out gingerbread house..unless we decide to do it the day before xmas eve. And we gotta get some kind of cookie cuz Santa needs cookies haha.

Iam excited bout christmas but also little sad. I guess this is what being an adult is…ughh. I wont see my parents and my brother till afte christmas. But thats alright least I will get to see them not tooo long after xmas. But it is almost that time of year again only 6 more days till christmas!!! Hope ya’ll are ready for the fat man to come, we are!!!!

Well I am not sure if I wrote anything about rob and I being in college or not but if I didn’t we started college in September. My major is criminal justice and robs going for web design. But anyways college has been kicken our asses! This is our last week of our math class and we have a huge final due this Sunday. On top of that we are going to my mom and dads this weekend and we have alot of homework to do yet. But we have the following week off thank God! Haha we need a break. Then we start all of our major classes. Oh and last quarter rob an I made the Deans list! That was pretty awesome since we never expected it. But ya sorry total randomness. Anyways it’s like 3 in the morning almost I should get to bed now. Hope ya’ll have a great night!!

The holidays are approaching again…and very fast may I add. Thanksgiving is already next week then 4 weeks to Christmas. I dont know how it’s going to be this year since I am in a new town with new people, but I guess I will have to take it as it goes. Thanksgiving will be spent here, Christmas Eve *hopefully if their isnt snow) will be at my Mom’s and Christmas Day here. Ya very confusing.

 But today I was sitting in my room…my husband went to take a bath and here I sat. And I cried and cried and cried. Why? Well I am realy missing my grandmother. More so than ever right now. The holidays will always and forever remind me of her and this year just hurts. It will be our second year without her for the holidays, and the second year is always the hardest cause it already sank in the she is gone.

 My Granny and I would always decorate for the holidays. We would clean the house together while listening to Christmas music, and put up the heavy curtains, and decorate and cook and bake. I mean me and my Granny did alot of the holiday stuff together. And it is soooo hard to not have her here. It hurts so bad, and I just dont know what to do with myself right now. I swear I felt her hand on my shoulder as I was crying tonight. Maybe I am crazy but I know that warm feeling.

I know I havent wrote in a while and now that I finally did its not one a happy happy note, but I needed to write. I thought maybe it would make me feel alittle better. Oh well..Take care everyone..I will try to write more often on happier notes.

Next Sunday is Rob and I’s one year wedding anniversary. I cant believe how fast this year went. I will tell you what…it wasnt easy. We had a hell of a lot of obstacles to over come and there were alot of tears throughout it all. But Iam so happy that we are going to be celebrating out one year. I love my husband so much. Now I know couples fight, and dont always get along. Hell its healthy to fight, but i learned to NEVER let it get in the way of your marriage or family life. Things gets bad, I know this fo sure but if you lov someone, you need to stick by them and let the small stuff fly by. We used to fight over every little thing but we have leanred to get over it and get through the big stuff together.

I still remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. I was so nervous I never thought I would make it down the aisle. I went out to a nice breakfast with my Dad and had a nice talk with him aout my childhood and about my future with my husband. I go home to fnd out my maide of honor as been waiting for me for over an hour *it ws only 6 in the moning when i got home from breakfast* Got my hair done, got my dress on, helped my bridesmaids with there dresses and then it was time to walk down the aisle. I tell you what…seeing Rob a the end of the aisle was just…amazing. Yes he was just let out of the hospital 2 weeks before the wedding but he looked so good. He was nervous but so was I. The ceremony was wonderful…cept for when Rob said Awful Wedded Wife haha..but it was beautiful.

Our reception was even better. The food was amazing, our cake was the talk of the whole hotel and everybody had a great time! If I could marry him all over again I would do it in a minute! Thats what I wanted to do. I wanted to renew our wedding vows. This year has been hell for us and renewing our vows would of meant alot to me..but our party is next weekend already and I cant get nothing done in a week.

But iam thrilled to be celebrating this with my wonerful husband…and I hope he knows how much he means to me and Banana. He is our life, our solid ground he helps us so much with everything. I just want to say I love him and I hope to be spending 50 more years with him.

Wow…it has been soo long since i wrote. I have been so busy lately with summer ending, Rob racing every week, taking care of Banana and oh Iam going to college! Ok well let me rewind a bit.

Rob has been racing for while now..and about a month ago he was in a wreck which caused him to get cut out of his car and life flighted. *yea imagine me seeing all this all over again, not to fun* But luckily he was fine, he had muscle spasms from the other car rolling on top of his. He was sent home that same night.

I also started racing in the Powder Puff series. Iam currently 3rd in points and hoping to win a trophie at the end of the season. But we shall see.

Banana is getting so big and alot harder to take care of…but now we also have a 2 yr old dog. Yes so now I have two 2yr olds in the house. The dogs name is Bear and his is an English Setter mix. He is TERRIBLE to train. He does not listen to no one and pretty much does whatever he wants. We have had him about a month now and there is still no getting through to this dog. Recently he spilled Disel Fuel Injection Cleaner all over our basement and rolled in it. So we had to scrub him and the basement floor about 30 times. Out house stunk for about 4 days and just yesterday the smell started to finally dim away. But my God the smell was enough to kill you. Our cats were high as a kite for couple days.

Rob and i are going back to school! Well technicially Rob is already in school *online courses* He is taking Programming and web design. I on the other hand am taking Criminal Justice and Cyber Security/Forensics. I will be starting in a week. Iam nervous as hell but its what I studied in High School for four years so maybe I have a chance at NOT failing.

Ahh well summer is almost over…which means Fall is arriving! I do love fall but i wish winter didnt have to follow it. But Banana has friends to play with this winter and a hyper active dog to pull her around the yard on a sled so kudos to that!

I will have to write more often…my big computer had a fight with Banana and lost so i had to buy a mini laptop and this thing is so slow…which is why I havent been on it much. But I promise to be on more often and write. So until then…Later!

Rob had his first race Friday night, and lemme tell you what. I knew he was nervous, I mean who wouldnt be nervous getting into a racecar and racing around a track for first place? Exactly…he was a wreck. I was a wreck for him…I was more worried about him crashing into a car or going over the bank. But I knew he would be safe since it was his first race. His family was there and his friends which made him feel great *and im glad they all showed up* He had to go into the pits with his Pap and get the car ready so Banana and I sat in the stands with his family. About an hour later I seen the 4 cylinder cars getting out onto the track so I grabbed the camera and was ready. I didnt think I was as nervous as I was but I was shaking and everything. I was so nervous and I can just imagine how he felt. But he did good he had his warm up laps and yes he was last but he took his time and got the feel of the car. SO we waited for all the other racers to get in there warm ups and heat races. Then about 45 mins later Rob was ready to go out for his second race. I got the camera again and was ready to record. He did so much better his thrid race! I wasnt as nervous the second time and I think he felt better toocuz he was ripping around the corners. He did slide on corner 3 and 4 but he kept good control! He wsnt last on that one so i was all stoked for him.

The last race seemed like it took forever to go on. The light on the back straightaway blew out during the one race so we had to wait for someone to come and fix them which was 30 mins away. I went into the pits with Rob and waited with him until the lights were fixed. Took abour an hour till it was all said and done but he was ready to go. I ran back to the stands and got out the camera. I seen his car pull out onto the track and I knew he was ready. This was a 20 lap race and the last race of the night. I tell you what he was RIPPIN around everybody. I was proud of him…I got over excited I think I was yelling and carrying on like a nut.

*Theres my hubby kickin butt!*

*Theres hubby making his pass*

I was so excited when he was passing everybody!!! But then it happened. I seen him coming around turn 1 and then he kept going straight. He went right over the bank!!!! *the only thing i feared happening and it happened*  He blew his tire and he couldnt go nowhere else but over the bank. He ended up going into the pits. There was only 4 laps left and he had to go into the pits. But he didnt come in last, he came in 22nd place out of 29 racers. So I was sooo proud of him!!! This week will be even better cuz his nerves are better and he just wants to get out and RACE!!!! Im so happy for him…he is finally living his dream!!  Come on baby, now its time to WIN!!!!! Go #45!!!!!!

So saturday Rob, his grandfather, me and our friend John decided to go to the Pocono’s for the Busch Race, but the night before we all decided that we were going to camp there until after the Sunday race. So Saturday morning we ALL got off to a horrible start. We woke up at 6:30 in the morning instead of 5 like we all planned. His pap got up at 7. We wanted to leave by 7 and get there at 8. So after we all got woken up we started to pack the car. *i still dont know how we shoved ALL that stuff in there but we did* Took up 2 hours to pack the car with everything. SO by now it’s 9 in the morning and we are ready to go. *btw Banana was staying at my parents for the weekend, so I was still adjusting to her not being around me* Before we were actually “on the road” we had to make couple stops. We had to go to the beer store and stock up, and go to Wal-mart and grab couple things, then get Gas and food. By 10:30 we were FINALLY on our way to the Pocono’s!

We arrived at Long Pond about 11 ish. We still needed to get Infield tickets *since we had grandstand only and wanted to stay both days*  Once you get into long pond there are ticket stands ALL over the main road to the raceway. So we all got out of the car and scattered trying to find 5, 2 day infield tickets and 2 pit passes.  We ended up only getting one infield ticket but we did get our pit passes! So we drove up bout 3 miles to the raceway and had to go all over the damn place to find 4 more tickets. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. it was corwded and nobody knew where they were sending us.  But we got there…we got to the ticket booth and got our tickets. We were finally on our way! We drove to Gate one and there it was…

The entry to the infield!! By now i had chills down my spine just knowing what was awaiting us this weekend!  We got in and had to set up camp on the opposite side of the track until 3am  when gates were open to the other side. So we decided to go and get our pit passes validated and check it all out.

The first thing i seen at Pocono had to be the best thing i have seen…

Tony Stewart getting his car weighed in for Sunday’s race. I was so excited to see his car up close like that! It was friggin awesome shit. But we made our way around the paddock and seen some cool stuff but nothing was really going on. Rob and I made our way back to John and his Pap and watched some of the busch race.

We really didnt get to see much of it since we got there really late. Once it ended we went back to camp and got something to eat. Rob and John made friends with people across from us who were playing horse shoes. So the boys went over there and played and I layed in the sun for a good hour. We walked round most of the day waiting for Johns girl Megan to get there. We met up with one couple who were in the infield part we were supposed to be in. They actually gave us there tickets so we can bring our car over by them. They had special tickets to be over there. So we talked to them for a bit and started getting stuff outta the car. We all ate dinner and the sun was setting. Megan showed up so we all went for a walk to see what kinda parties were going on. Once again the boys made friends with people playing horse shoes and they all played. Megan and I walked around little bit and lemme tell you some of these guys down there are PIGS! Cat callin, and “come here a second girls.” Haha yea it s pretty bad. But Megan and I brought a shitload of beer back to everyone so we can all get our party on. But didnt end up that way exactly. John and Megan fought…so it was just me, Rob and his Pap. We did find these awesome bunch of guys in a Nascar Bus. They were all Canadians and they friggin rocked! The one guys made 600 jello shots just for the race. Damn between rob and I we had to of had….40? haha yea. But they played good country music and everyone was really nice.

We went back to camp after an hour of partying with these guys and found John and Megan. Pap went to bed and they came with us back to the Canadians. By now we were all pretty drunk but havin a good time. It was probabaly 1 something by now…and there were people pouring in all over the place. But we needed to get back to camp cuz the gates were opening soon and we had our spot picked out right against the fence between turn 1 and 2. So we hauled ass and got there. now i dont remember much…cept for Rob and I fighting for a good 2 hours and security kept telling them they couldnt go over to the fence till 3am. But i remember Rob passing out in my arms in the middle of the infield as the gates were opening. Cars are flying all over the damn place, im trying to pick Rob up, John is moving the car, megans sleeping in the tent already. FInally John came over and carried rob across the infield into the car. *rob was really reallly drunk* it was 3:30 by now and John and me are the only ones up. We got stuff outta the car and then he told me to go in the tent with Megan and get some sleep.

I get in the tent and my pants are soaked up to my knees the blankets are wet and im freezing! I shivered myself to sleep basically.  John woke me up at 7 in the morning so i got no sleep at all. But he set up camp and made friends with a guy in an RV next to us. I was so tired and I fell asleep with my contacts in which was horrible cuz i couldnt see shit. I had to take my contacts out all day and wear my sunglasses. Rob and his Pap woke up around 8 and megan got up at 9. I dunno if John sleot at all but he was in the tent with Megan and me when I woke up. So I dunno. But we got coffee on and I was finally ok to go. Rob and I wanted to go to the pits before 10 so we can get some autographs. So we headed out.

Pit Road

Logano’s Pit Box

Smoke’s Pit Box

Pit Road was awesome. Rob got his hat signed by every single pit crew member on pit road. It was great. Some of the guys were so awesome…they sat and talked with us and had no problem signing stuff. Others were not so pleasent but whatever.

We made our way back to camp..it was bout 12 now and there was 2 hours till Race time. Rob wasnt feeling to good…and we all didnt think much of it. I mean it was hot and we didnt eat. We got him some food and a drink ad he seemed ok. Bout an hour later he started throwing up, he was freezing and he didnt look good at all. The people we met the night before were there and the lady was a nurse. She took his pule and it was only 48. He had sun posioning. John took him to the emergency place in the infield and they gave him 3 bags of IV to hydrate him. He was gone a good 2 hours he missed half the race. But when he got back all was well, he looked great and he said he felt 100% better. So it was on with the race.

This is one of the good pictures we have

We ended up all going on top of this dude’s RV and being able to see everything!  There was only bout 25 mins left in the race and Smoke was in the lead. Then it started raining! But onl on our side of the track just like last year haha. But it stopped and the sun came back out. It was lap 189 of 200 so we were all getting excited. We were all having a great time just hanging out and relaxing.

Rob cant keep straight face ever!

Thats better

Yup…I knew it..this is what made my whole race weekend experience the best. SMOKE WON THE RACE!! I was so excited I didnt even know what to do haha.

But I will tell you what this year it was kick ass! We are going again in August but we will be alot more prepared next time. I had an awesome time and I got a great tan to show off too hehe. So this ends my long ass post on my Pocono Race Weekend!

Wow havent wrote in a while! I’ve been sp busy lately. Rob had bought a Racecar to race at Clinton County. So the past couple weeks we have been working on getting this racecar in order for his first race this friday! Iam so excited for him, but a bit scared at the same time. Him and engines uggh i get nervous. But I have faith in him that he will be safe about it plus he is only racing 4 cylinder. Also Banana will be going away for the weekend to Nonna and Pappy’s. This is the first time I will be away from her longer than couple hours!! We are going to the Pocono’s Saturday for the Nationwide Race! I cannot wait to go either. But Im gonna miss my little Banana. It’s gonna be hard being away from her for 3 whole days!! So yea this whole weekend will be all about racing. I will have to put up pictures of Rob’s racecar. We still need to repaint it by friday and put the battery in, and the gauges and all that not so fun stuff, haha. But Im just hoping we get it all done in time and on top of that his back has ben hurting for a week. If his back doesnt stop hurting he will not be able to race which will be kind of a bummer cause he has been looking forward to this for such a long time. But I think he will be able to do at least the warm up laps. Ahh well I need to go *I know this was such a short post but I will have LOTS to write about after the weekend!!* Banana is messing with the cats again and I dont need her getting scratched up again. But I will return Sunday night with LOTS to say and LOTS of pictures!!!!

I just wanted to wish every Mom out there a Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you all enjoy your special day!

And remember “For The Hand That Rocks The Cradle- Is The Hand The Rules The World” and that would be us mothers!

Please feel free to share any of your mothers day thoughts or share how you spent this wonderful day!! I myself plan to relax a bit today and spend time with my beautiful daughter. Hey shes the reason im celebrating this day isnt it?!

Happy Mother’s Day Everyone!!!!!!!

I have been back and forth to my eye doctor for 3 weeks now. I really don’t understand why either. My eye doctor is a real trip. Ok just try to picture this….a 6 ft and some tall guy, deep voice, and very broad shoulders….*sounds dreamy huh?* No not really. He walks out from behind the desk, all normal and as soon as he turns the corner, he puffs his chest out and makes his voice even deeper than it is and says “Come with me.” The first time he did that, SCARY!! The second time alittle creepy and today omg almost died laughing. I just really dont understand why he does that? I mean obvisouly he walks normal and talks normal just everytime he sees me he puffs his chest out so far, im afraid hes gonna poke my eyes out! Nice guy. just really stange. He reminds me of the male version of Mrs. Puff on Spongebob.

Today he had me look at some metal rod thingy and follow it with my eyes. I couldnt stop laughin cuz there he is sitting in front of me, legs spread wide open and his chest all puffed out waving this rod in front of my face….yes im glad he didnt see me laugh…that would of been embarassing. So now again he wants to see me in a week,he wants to make sure my new lenses are working well for me.

Yup this is my experience ever week with this guy..and as we like to call him Mr. Puff…
