I have friends all over the map and in a million different area codes. Although my life isn’t full of big moments and babies, they still want to know what’s going on with me as much as I want to know what’s going on with them. So, here we go. I’ll keep this as up to date as I can with pictures and everything. I hope you all enjoy. If you want to know anything, just ask!
Let me start with a quick update…Mark and I have been living together for nearly four months and are so happy. I have a great job that I love, and guess what it is…retail! I know that’s not a surprise to anyone who knows me, apparently being able to sell stuff is hereditary and I got the gene. I take the bus to work and it gives me quite a chance to people watch…more on that later. We have no pets, but we also don’t have much time when neither of us is working. We have been thinking about a puppy, but we’ll see how that goes. We like being able to spend our time doing fun stuff, like:
My birthday on 10.09 fell on a Thursday so we just had dinner on the night. On the Saturday after we went to Dave & Busters. We had a total blast! It’s like Chuck E. Cheese for adults and we had so much fun. We played for hours and won enough tickets to cash them in for a stuffed hippo. She’s adorable and I sleep with her at night. Then on Sunday we went up to Sherman to have a party with my family. We had sandwich stuff and cake and presents. Matthew was there. I swear that kid gets bigger every time I see him. He’s nearly as tall as I am now! We stopped by my mom’s and then stopped by Mark’s family’s house. It was good to see all of our family in one day, but I wish we could have had more time.
Then the next weekend we went to the Dallas World Aquarium. It was this amazing little oasis in the middle of the city. There were so many totally cool animals. There were monkeys, sharks, manatees, bugs, lizards, alligators, turtles, fish, sloths, and penguins! It was a neat experience to walk amongst all the animals in natural settings. I took a million photos. Then we went to dinner and a movie (Quarantine) and shopping then home! It was a wonderful day and a great weekend.
I find myself thinking about the future a lot lately…it seems that everyone I know is having babies, and of course I want that in my life, but I’ve also realized something. I have a good life. I’m young and having fun. I have a lifetime to have a family and the corresponding stress, but right now, I need to enjoy life and live every day on purpose. I don’t want to waste these opportunities and then have regrets later. I believe that having this time will make me a better mother in the long run anyway. I love my life right now and can't wait to see what happens next.
