2011 update

Wow, It’s been a while since I was last here! So I guess Happy New Year, and Happy Valentine’s Day! Hahah. Well, around here a lot has changed yet it seems like nothing has happened. January- Nothing major. My husband continues taking classes for his master’s program. Gigi continues to grow and get more beautiful with each passing day. As for me, I keep waiting in this office for the surveyors to show up so that we can finally open this business and I can finally get my real pay checks again! February- Gigi was started on solids and she loved it! Joe continued with his classes for his masters, and his “Social Thursdays,” and started a sidewalk project on our front yard. He also placed a chandelier on our front door and replaced the lights we had on Gigi’s room for a cute fan she got as a Christmas gift from my parents. As for me, again I keep waiting for the state auditor to appear on my office any day now. Good thing I’m sitting down because if I would be standing my feet would be so tired! I wonder what is taking so long….Also , since money is not as good as it used to be, I started promoting our photography business more. So far we got a wedding that took place Feb 25, 2011. It was a success! March- Gigi is 5 months! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by. Just to think that in less than a month my baby will be 6 months gives me chills! 6 months! I still remember the day I got that positive test, and enjoying my bump as it grew with her inside. Those mornings with nausea, and thinking it would be my last pregnancy because I felt so sick. Wow, motherhood changes it all. Nothing can compare to this love, a love that can stand it all. Today I see her and silently think I would do it all over again and even more to have her in my arms. She is just so beautiful, and she’s mine….for now lol. My husband spent all of Saturday finishing his sidewalk project on our front yard. It’s not as good as we wished it would of turned out but it’s ok for now. He also bough all the material needed to do the gates for our fence. As far as I know, I should have a gate by this weekend. What does having a gate mean? Well, besides privacy it means that our dear basset hound Angelo gets to come home with us! Angelo was adopted as a puppy 3 about 3 months after we got married. We made a special trip for him to Corpus Christi and drove right back home with him. We lived happily in our apartment until we had to move to Joe’s parent’s home because I was to go full time to school and even a part time job was out of the question. Since Joe's parents don’t like taking care of animals because they don’t have the time and they didn’t have a fence, we gave Angelo to a friend of my husband. Well, soon after we gave him away, Mr. Angelo was returned to us because he would destroy things at his new home. So he found his way back to us =). We fenced my In Laws back yard and bought him a house. Last September we FINALLY moved to our house but with Gigi making her grand arrival very soon, no gates and Christmas around the corner, Angelo had to stay at the In Laws. Around November of last year I told my husband that we should give Angelo away, well, bad idea. My husband reminded me all we’ve gone thru with Angelo and how we made a very special trip to get him and how he was part of our family. Needless to say that I was in tears and Angelo is not going anywhere. Ok , so I told you Angelo’s story and I’m sure you’ll hear more from him. As for me, I keep waiting for those surveyors to appear. Wow, this is a long update! lol
