That's right! On January 26, 2010, Antonio & I closed on our first home! We were renting a beautiful house that we were told we might be able to buy in a year or so. Unfortunately on December 28, 2009 we received a phone call from the property manager saying that the owner's were moving back and they needed their house! I was so upset and stressed and didn't know what to do. One day while chatting with my friend Ginny online, I just began crying and felt like I didn't know what to do or where to go. I suddenly got a feeling of peace and a knowing that everything would be alright. I was ok, but still not sure where to go. We were about to sign papers on a town house in Mesa, when I knelt down and prayed that if we were supposed to stay in Buckeye to please let me find something. About 5 minutes later, I got Mike and Ande in the car and started driving through our neighborhood, when I found our house! I immediately called the realtor, got all the info, went home woke Tony, took him by the house, and then called the realtor back to set up a viewing.
The next day, we went and walked through the house! It was perfect! There was NO qualifying, NO down payment, and it was an Owner carry/Owner Financing! This was it! We were unable to purchase due to credit caused from both of our divorces, however, we found this! The seller gave us early occupancy on January 13th, and we closed on January 26th. My prayers were answered!
So, now with the purchase of our OWN home, we were able to have pets once again! After looking on Craigslist and driving around, we found some puppies for free from an LDS family! We took two! A boy and a girl. The boy is Sparky, and the girl is Sweet Pea! The kids love the dogs and so does Tony! I love the dogs too, but my priority right now is Ande. So while dad and the kids all love on and play with the dogs, I love on and play with Ande!
What a beautiful way to start the New Year!!!

I am also a little bit late in making this post, but here goes! On January 22nd, Mr. Ande turned 3 months! My where has the time gone?! He is truly a GREAT baby! We love him so much! Here are a few things he does now!
*Smiles constantly
*Coos when anyone talks to him! It's so cute, he will carry on a conversation with you!
*He is already trying to roll over
*Sleeps through the night! YAY for me! LOL!
*He is constantly blowing bubbles, so he always has drool on his face
Ande is such a sweet little boy! I can't believe how big he has gotten! At his last dr appt he weighed 13 lbs 9 oz and was 23 3/4 inches long.

Happy Birthday to Michael!
I am about a month late in posting this, but things have been super busy and so much stuff has happened since my last post!
Anyways, on 4 years ago on January 1st, Michael Keith Roman was born! This year to celebrate his life, we took him and Joseph to Amazing Jake's pizza! The boys had so much fun riding the go-carts, the train, the carousel, and all of the other way cool rides! We had the buffet for dinner, and then played for about 2 hours! Michael had so much fun and was so excited to get to do so much!
After Amazing Jake's the boys went to their dad's to celebrate with his family. When we got the boys back, we went over to our friend's house for cake and presents! We let Mikey pick out his cake, so on top of it, he had DINOSAURS! LOL! Of course, anyone who knows Mike knows that dinosaurs are his thing right now! Then he opened his present and it was a dinosaur with a button on his back that walks and growls! Mike loved it so much! He is so easy to please, just takes one dinosaur!
A couple weeks later, while the boys were with their dad, Tony and I wanted to get Mikey something else for his birthday since we had a little extra money. While at Wal-Mart we saw this huge dinosaur named Spike that had a remote control. He usually cost about 200 dollars, however, my hubby wanted to scan him. So we found a scanner and Spike was ONLY 60 dollars!!!! So, we figured that was an awesome deal and got him. The next night when Mike got home from his dad's, we pulled out Spike! Michael was ecstatic! He loves Spike and constantly plays with him! He has even tried taking a bath with him!
In Michael's eyes, he had the best birthday EVER! We are so grateful for this little boy that we have to spend time with and love and take care of! He has such a sweet spirit and brings so much Joy to our lives, especially mine! He is truly special to me and I am so grateful to be his mommy!!!
