New Adventures In This Small Town

Hello my lovely followers. It's been a few months since I've written but I have been extremely busy lately. First off AUBREE STARTED WALKING!!!!! How exciting is that?! She wasn't trying and then one day, BAM!, she was sprinting across the room. She also says quite a few words and I'm extremely proud of the progress she has made in her vocabulary. We went to eat at my work the other night and I gave her a fork just for the heck of it and she knew what to do with it! She is such a smart cookie! 

I also have a boyfriend now. :) We started dating shortly after Aubree's birthday. His name is Josh and he is a medically retired Marine. He is the most kind, sincere and loving man I have ever met. He makes sure me and Aubree are ok and he does whatever we need without hesitation. We have moved in with him and it might seem fast to some of ya'll but for me it's not. He is in the process of purchasing a new house and hopefully we will be closing on it in the next month so we can start cleaning and painting and everything. 

I had my birthday a few weeks ago. It was just a blah birthday. Turning 25 isn't a big deal and I didn't really want to do anything like get drunk like most people my age. I have a child and need to be responsible. So like the dork I am, Josh and I stayed at home and watched Star Wars for my birthday. We did go to my dad's house that next weekend and had a cookout for mine and my sister's birthdays.

I start school tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous. I haven't been to school in about 7 years. I love school though so I can't wait to go. I decided to quit my job. The 25th of this month is going to be my last day. They haven't put me on the schedule except for maybe 1 or 2 days a week. My time would be better spent at home with Aubree and focusing on my school work.

We just got back from the beach on Thursday so I'll write a whole post on our beach trip with pictures! :) It was a blast lol. 

Love you, Mean It xoxo

Aubree's 1 Now!

I can't believe it has been over a year since my precious baby was born and had surgery. I feel like just yesterday I was complaining about her feet in my ribs and how I was sooo afraid my water would break in bed. Which by the way did just that lol. I feel like this year has been such a blur. Her biological father still isn't in the picture and we have actually agreed that I am going to pursue a lawyer to get the ball rolling on his rights being permanently removed forever. I like that so that when the time comes and I get married I won't have to go to court to have his rights removed so that my husband could adopt and we can change her name.

She has been making so much progress in her actions and her understanding and speaking of words. She holds the phone up to her ear and says hey now. She thinks it's funny when you fake laugh and will copy you. She stands up and sits down without holding onto anything and will stand for a good while. I really hope she starts walking soon. Her grandad got her one of those little tikes coupe cars for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. She climbs in and shuts the door and then will proceed in the exact same moment to climb out and repeat it all over again.

This summer is going to be so much fun with her she loves the pool. We got to have it out the other day. Who'd imagine it'd be that nice out in April to have the pool out?!
