So I'm extremely bad at keeping this thing up to date... But I'm going to try harder!
As some of you may already know James and I are expecting!!! I'm due on March 31st! I'm kinda hoping to be early and have a St.Patrick's day baby. We are also waiting until the delivery to find out the sex of the baby. I just find it more exciting and a sense of catharsis after going through labor to hear those words after wards "IT'S A ....." So we are very excited for that. We are still in the process of converting our computer room into a nursery, but things are going slow. James is building us a BEAUTIFUL changing station cabinet. So I think we're going to wait to get that in first so we don't have a ton of furniture to move around. Since James is Mr.Fung Shui I'm sure we will be doing a lot of that.
Work has been very good lately. Usually around this time the shop gets really slow, but it's been thriving and staying busy really well. At least from my perspective it has been. So it's always good to have James busy at work, and to have his parents not worrying. Work for me has picked up a lot too. Holiday season means a lot of large parties coming in, and that means lots of money for me!!! I love it though, my job is always a lot of fun. And all my friends at work are quick to help me out anytime I need to sit down or have someone carry something for me.
Speaking of friends I couldn't be more thankful for the ones I have right now. They have all been so great to me and for me during my pregnancy. It's as if this child isn't just mine and James' but everyone of my friends' as well. I have my dear ones from out of state coming to visit just for the occasion, and all my boys at work Garrett, Danny, Nate, and Bobby are like surrogate fathers and husbands to me while I'm at work and take good care of me. And my girl friends have been so great with support and giving advice and just an ear to hear about all the stuff going on. I love them all!!
Family is doing VERY well. Mom and Jim just got home from New York, that was their christmas gift to each other. Mom has been battling her vertigo again, but for the most part she's been ok. Jim had a scary time a month ago with his gallbladder and liver. He had to get his gallbladder removed and it was pretty much dead inside his body and dissolved inside him when they went to remove it, and part of the necrosis had spread to his liver, and when they scrapped that off the liver something happened and the liver started leaking. So he was in the hospital for a week!! But it regenerated and self healed and he was much better!! He just can't eat reeses peanut butter cups for a while. All that is over and past now though and they are doing wonderfully!
Annika is dating a really nice guy named Adam... he's perfect for her. A gamer and very intellectual but makes great jokes and is very sweet. It's good to finally see her happy. You can tell her whole confidence is way up!
Alexis is busy running Lone Star, ever since she became General Manager it's EVEN HARDER sometimes to see her. Pretty much we have to go into the restaurant to see her. Which isn't bad since she discounts our food. Which is good when you aren't loaded with money, which James and I are not.... tee hee.
The little sisters are doing well!! Sasha is working with her mom at Jaylynn photography, and she's become a slumber party distributor. It's been very handy!!! She's about to move into a new apartment with one of her friends, and she seems to be moving into a very positive direction in her life.
Cheyenne is graduating high school early this January. I'm so proud of her! She's got so much going for her, I hope she follows it all the way through. She wants to open her own day care some day soon, so she's doing some kind of internship after she graduates, and that also means free day care for me once I have the baby!!!
I don't have any new pictures as of now... We keep forgetting to take it places with us. But with the holiday's and everything coming up I'm sure we will have lots more. So I will try and remember to post them soon. We just want everyone to know how much we love them, and we are so grateful to have you all in our lives. Have a very safe and happy holiday!!!
