I still can't believe last weekend came and passed so quickly. I never knew that time could go so fast in your life after you start having children. Now, everything just seems like a blur...
Saturday...I went shopping for Zoe's gift and then went to her first birthday party. It was so sweet to see how much bigger she has gotten since the last time I saw her which was a few months ago. It was a nice party. I left Riley at home with Bobby and Charlea and I were the ones to see Miss Zoe turn one officially. It was hard to socialize with anyone because it was an indoor/outdoor party and because of the wind, I couldn't take Charlea outside. I got home from the party, and Bobby cooked me steak for dinner that night! :) mm mm good!
Sunday...We got Charlea's first portraits done at Olan Mills. Bobby's mom and step dad bought us a package there, but we also spent another 100 dollars on extra pictures. The one package the woman tried to sell me was originally 976 dollars...but she was going to give it to me for 476...how generous of her...hah...i still would not have spent that much money on pictures that Charlea would not cooperate for. I got some pretty ones, but I'm still disappointed that the woman would not listen to me that I did not want to be in the picture of her feet only because of my chipped nail polish...but now I have a picture of her beautiful feet with mommy's fingernails looking like utter crap. OH WELL...you live and learn. Then we went to Bobby's mom's house and had a cook out with her and Roger's family to meet the baby. It was so much fun. I met a lot of people and had a blast with his mom and step dad afterwards. I never knew just sitting in the sun and relaxing with my children and family could be so much fun! I definitely can't wait to have more memories like that.
At the moment...both children are silent. Charlea is in her swing looking around at her new world, and Riley is laying in the floor playing with cars. Life could not get much greater at the moment.
My transcripts are hopefully finally sent off to Upstate so I can start there in the fall. I'm SO excited about this next step in school. I still can't believe that I graduated and made the Dean's List. I'm very proud of myself and how much I have accomplished from when I first started school. In a year and a half I brought my GPA up from a 1.2 to a 3.75...I would have had over a 4.0 when I graduated, but because I screwed my GPA up in the past, I have been working my butt off to get it where it is now. And I'm happy with where I am at! :)
I'm going to be purchasing my new living room sectional soon. I'm so happy. Although the couch I have has lasted MANY years through my family...it's time to kick it to the curb. I am tired of falling through the couch cushions when I sit on it. The sectional matches many other pieces of furniture in my living room (book shelves, ottoman, etc.) so it will fit in nicely! :) I can't wait to get it.
I am nervous today. I have an appointment with my attorney to hopefully get the rest of my divorce on the go. I have been waiting on this final court date since day 1. I'm not sure how today is going to go...we had to put the final hearing on hold until Charlea got here...so I'm thinking that today might not go as planned just because of the whole situation. But we shall see, and I'll keep my fingers crossed.
