2006 brought more joy to my life as Rolando and I had our first child. I got to experience things in a new way with a new life. I spent most of my time filming and capturing his every move. Having and raising my son made me into a new person, not being afraid to speak up or let people know who I really was. I was a mom and was proud of it, and in the year that followed, I made my big move to Atlanta for good, ready to start a new chapter.

Well, it's been over a year since I came here last and I really felt this site needed a good update, so here I am. First of all, I want to talk about my personal life. Rolando and I are still together and still happy as ever, if not more so now. We've been together for 2 years this month and we even have a little addition. Antonio was born in April and he's now 3 1/2 months old. He's a hyper little guy already, but almost always in a good mood. He's also huge already, weighing around 16 lbs! Our families love him to death, so he gets plenty of people to play with. Right now he's still breastfed but I think he may have to start drinking some formula to help out when I start up my last semester this fall. I got 3 classes left and I'm so ready for them to be over. But anyways, Rolando came to stay with me back in March while I was still pregnant and we had been together ever since, up til this past Monday. It was hard to see him go and I know it was hard for him, too; he's missing Tony a lot right now. Well, as for other stuff, I'm still playing FFXI, but that's about it. I really haven't had much time, or money, to play anything else. I'm still driving my 2003 Tracker around and it's working out great for us. It got us down to Atlanta and back, which was about 27 hours total. It actually gets pretty good gas mileage, too.

I haven't been up to too much this week besides trying to get sleep and getting used to Rolando not being here. Tuesday I had to take Tony to get some shots; he had to have 3 different ones. We waited for an hour in the waiting room, but Tony slept the whole time. I had to hold him down when he got his shots and he cried as soon as he got stuck. After he got all 3, though, I got to hold him and he stopped crying. So, this week I've also been watching him to make sure he doesn't get a bad reaction from the shots.

As for other news, I move in back at school in 1 1/2 weeks. I got an apartment this year so I'm excited. This September is also my birthday, so I'll finally be 21. Yay for me! When this semester is over, Tony will be 8 months old and we'll be moving back to Atlanta. I can't believe how much is going on so I know this semester will fly by quick.

Well, if I think of something else to add, I'll come back later. For now, I got to go hang out with Tony for a while. I'll cya around.
