Life's Journey

It has literally been months since I have updated this blog! It has also literally been months since I have been healthy and have had some time to commit to sitting down and typing up a little blog :)

Much has happened. Happy times & sad times.



Natalie was chosen by the school district to be a peer model for their preschool.
She will go to preschool and help students with special needs assimilate to the classroom enivironment. She is doing exeptionally well and I couldn't be a prouder mother! Plus, we are also within walking distance to her new school. How convenient is that??

Natalie also went on her very fist field trip! It was to the pumpkin patch! She had LOTS of fun and even got to do a kiddie zipline....4 times! =) I was extremely fortunate that I was able to go with her. Trying to juggle school, a job, and her events can become tricky, but I would like to think I'm managing quite nicely. ;)




There is a show on Nick Jr. that Natalie is absolutely addicted to! It is called Yo Gabba Gabba and my husband and I just knew that she would want to be "foofa" for Halloween. I find the costumes for the show absolutely ridiculous!...So I went about see what I could do so mommy was happy and pretty girl was happy. I found a lady that custom makes tutu costumes. I had messaged her a couple times and had an idea in my head and she throws this together like it's no big deal! I was and still am amazed at her craftiness and am extremely happy with the finished product! As for Natalie, she thinks this is something you wear at all times. :o)




Unfortunately, life is not always grand. Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my awesome little brother as he embarked on a journey I can not accompany him on. On a good note, it is not forever. Out of many other siblings my brother and I were adopted together. We are attached to say the least and I am sad but at the same time so joyous about him deciding to help himself!
