Back at Home...for Now

Well, I am back from Nebraska. It was a short trip but we had a great time and my grandma was able to meet her great granddaughter! We had so much fun but it's great to be home. However, Thursday will be our last day here. We will be moving in with the in-laws on Thursday until we move to North Dakota in August. I packed most of the apartment before I left last week but I have to finish up now that I have more boxes. It's hard moving into a storage shed but making sure we will have everything we need. Oh well, we all must do it at some point or another.

I will post pics of our trip later...when I can take a break from packing. Melissa did so well on the trip! She hardly cries as it is but I was a little nervous but she was great. It was such an action packed weekend that I was so exhausted by the time we came home but can I just say how wonderful my baby girl is! She slept 7 hours straight last night! I couldn't believe it when I woke up to her grunts and realized that she had slept through the night! Wow! And it was much needed rest for me. I don't expect her to do it again but I greatly appreciated it last night! She is just so amazing and wonderful! I think she's a keeper.

Got to love a bargain!

So, ever since I found out I was having a girl I can't help but pick up outfits that are on the clearance rack when I am at the store. So far I am shopping for 12months to 18months because she has enough clothes to last until then. Once, I found all of these long sleeve shirts at Old Navy for $1. So I bought for 6months and 18months of age. That being said, Old Navy is having an amazing sale on their clearance. You can receive an extra 20% off their clearance with the code EXTRA20. So of course I couldn't resist. I found some cute capris, shorts, dresses, and shirts for next year.

Also, there is a store next to Babies R Us called Fallas. They always have some kind of sidewalk sale. Well I suggest everyone go there to shop. It's like a Ross but a little cleaner. It's not crazy messy or really busy but they have some great buys! Sometimes they will have onesies and pants for $1. I found a really cute 18month size jean jacket, pant, and longsleeve shirt set by sketchers for $10. They do have name brand and brands I haven't heard of but they seem like good clothes. I love finding stuff on sale!

My Sweetheart!

Here's another one! Thanks Mary!

What’s his name? Jonny
How long have you been together? 3 yrs
How long did you date? We dated for 1 month
How old is he? 24
Who eats more? Well currently probably me but usually it's him
Who said I love you first? I did but he wanted to I just beat him to it.
Who is taller? Him.
Who sings better? Definitely him. I LOVE to sing but you will never catch me singing by myself.
Who is smarter? It depends. He is smart and knows almost everything. If he doesn't know it he will learn about it. It's amazing to me how much he knows and can actually remember. I am smart when it comes to the books - spelling, grammar, math, etc. Although he can do math in his head faster than I can.
Who does the laundry? We both do, although I usually end up folding and putting it away.
Who pays the bills? I do. He helps remind me but I keep track of the finances.
Who sleeps on the right side? Currently it's me but we trade often.
Who mows the lawn? If we had a lawn Jon would. He likes mowing the lawn. I've never been a big fan.
Who cooks dinner? It depends on what you call dinner. I cook out of boxes (I can cook other stuff but that takes time). Usually though, we fend for ourselves.
Who drives? If we are both going in the same car he will, unless he doesn't feel good or is too tired. I enjoy him driving. It's less time I have to spend thinking.
Who is more stubborn? Oh definitely me. There's no argument there but I am getting better. Kind of.
Who kissed who first? He did.
Who proposed? It was kind of an agreement between us both. I am not even sure how we came to the decision but we just both knew that we were it for each other. He later proposed to me in his parents back yard with candle light and roses. And thankfully we got it all on tape!
Who has more friends? I do. I can talk to anyone but Jon has those kind of friends that you have had since you were a kid and can always count on.
Who is more sensitive? Most of the time it's def. me.
Who has more siblings? Well it depends on how you look at it. Jon has 5 full blood related siblings. I have 5 half siblings and 4 step siblings. You decide.
Who wears the pants? We share the pants. He gets one leg and I get the other.

Thanks Mary!

So I stole this from Mary but it looked like fun!

Maybe I should keep packing. Or clean.
I love Jon and my beautiful baby girl Melissa!
People would say that I love to talk but don't always know when to be quiet.
I don’t understand why I have to be the nice one on the road.
When I wake up in the morning I wish I'd gotten just a bit more sleep.
I lost my favorite backpack for almost 2 years and then found it one day when I opened some luggage. What a relief!
Life is full of unanswered questions that turn into blessings.
My past is full of crazy memories and lessons learned
I get annoyed when people are just rude. Why can't we all just get along and share the aisles!
Parties are things that usually make me anxious for really no apparent reason.
I wish I had enough money for a mover.
Dogs are protective and smelly - but you gotta love'em. Wouldn't trade Maggie for anything!
Cats are gross.
Tomorrow I'm packing and cleaning.
I have low tolerance for rude people.
I’m totally terrified of large cockroaches and knives.
I wonder why I got so lucky to have the people I have in my life.
Never in my life have I gotten attacked by a bird. But I have been bit by a zebra.
High school was great. Definitely a great experience!
When I’m nervous I get really warm and I want to throw up.
One time at a family gathering I ran over my grandma with a truck. Long story but I was in an old truck where you can take it out of gear when the keys aren't in the ignition. I was 5 yrs old and she had just opened the door and we were parked on a hill. In to neutral it went and smack. I took grandma and the mailbox out in one swoop. She was only bruised up but the mailbox didn't make it.
Take my advice: Enjoy life, Enjoy every moment.
Don’t take my advice – Eating 3 scoops of ice cream every night is good for you health.
Making my bed never happens. We like it messy.
I'm almost always in a good mood.
I’m addicted to tv and ice cream.
I want someone to a million dollars!

Monkey Face

So, Melissa has this face that she does if you hold her up by her arm pits. It is soo cute! Enjoy!
