And we have our date.<br />

My Colors are Purple, White, and Grey and will be incorporated into just about everything.<br />

These our colors and roughly the look of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. We're going for the long deep purple chiffon look for the bridesmaids. And the grey just-the-vest and purple tie look for fiancé and the groomsmen (which he is TOTALLY in love with)<br />
<br />
Our wedding "theme" or "feel"...if you will...is romantic or classic or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
I want TONS of candlelight and lanterns will be our centerpieces.<br />
<br />

I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as we go!<br />

This shoot was so important to me on so many different levels. Not only are Raeanne and Colin returning clients (check out our previous shoot <a href="http://confessionsofaserialnapper.blogspot.com/2013/10/raeanne-colin.html">here</a>) but since then Rae has asked me to do her wedding. Yep. My first wedding. I was in absolute hysterics when she asked. It's so awesome to have so many amazing people support me and help me as I grow my photography business. And speaking of growing, this is the other reason this shoot was so important to me was it was the first shoot I shot entirely in manual mode. <br />
<br />
This is HUGE for me.<br />
<br />
I finally pushed myself out of my comfort zone and ventured into the manual mode wilderness.<br />
<br />
This was the first big step in my photography career. <br />
<br />
Teaching myself how to use my camera and most importantly understand it was vital to me and to my future in photography.<br />
<br />
I still have a long way to go, the end product is still not close to where I'd like to see it, but it's getting there.<br />
<br />
I have a lot of learning, experience, and classes I'm sure before I see a light at the end of the tunnel but for now, this is a HUGE accomplishment and I can't wait to see where it goes from here :)<br />

And while we waited I snapped these. Allllll these beautiful trees are blooming, thank god spring finally decided it wanted to join us. Mama needs some Vitamin D...and a tan.

I've been terrible at keeping this damn thing updated but now I'll have a bit more time on my hands (hopefully not for long..Ill explain soon)<br />
<br />
But let me update you now that bug is 13 months!!!<br />
<br />
Vocabulary:<br />
<br />
Mama<br />
Dada<br />
Uh-oh<br />
Yum<br />
Na-Night<br />
Bye<br />
Good Girl<br />
Thank You<br />
What is That? (which is beyond adorable but she asks it about E V E R Y T H I N G)<br />
<br />
She knows that a dog says woof and an owl hoots.<br />
<br />
And tries her darndest to make said noises.<br />
<br />
Its absolute adorable to watch her chase after Sadee barking at her.<br />
<br />
HILARIOUS.<br />
<br />
She is ridiculously smart.<br />
<br />
I can't handle how smart she is sometimes, I really can't.<br />
<br />
She hasn't been eating as well, not because she doesn't like the things we feed her but she is far too busy to waste time eating lol.<br />
<br />
It is a nightmare trying to get her to sit still.<br />
<br />
She loves the shakes I make her in the morning (which I'll have recipes on coming up soon)<br />
<br />
She loves ANYTHING cheese...anything.<br />
<br />
Cheese, pasta, bananas, peanut butter, and yogurt are probably her favorites.<br />
<br />
She is RUNNING.<br />
<br />
It is awesome and terrifying.<br />
<br />
I can't wait until the weather warms up to take her to the park and playground to just let her run free.<br />
<br />
She can blow kisses, wave hello and goodbye, hug and kiss.<br />
<br />
Her hair is growing soooo fast. <br />
<br />
She has 7 teeth and is working on an 8th. <br />
<br />
And I swear she gets cuter every single day.<br />
<br />

I had to....<br />
<br />
but no for real.<br />
<br />
I have been on a serioussss reading kick lately.<br />
<br />
Soooo so far in 2014 I've read <b>the Divergent trilogy</b>.<br />
<br />
Spoiler Alert: Last Book= Dumb <br />
<br />
Well...in my opinion...<br />
<br />
Anyyyywho.<br />
<br />
I've also read <b>The Fault in Our Stars</b>.<br />
<br />
Awesome...just....awesome.<br />
<br />
And now I'm currently on the third book in <b>the Lunar Chronicles series</b>, which is turning out to be a surprisingly awesome series.<br />
<br />
It is totally not something I would go for.<br />
<br />
I was really really drawn to the cover (which unlike popular belief I DO literally judge a book by its cover), but every time I read the back I was like..."meh not for me"<br />
<br />
Over and over and over.<br />
<br />
But this book kept coming up on my good reads list (If you're a reader and you don't have a good reads account...shame on you) of recommended titles...and it's basically the only series in the YA section at Target that I haven't read.<br />
<br />
So I said fuck it, I'll try it...and I am SO glad I did.<br />
<br />
I'm currently reading the third book <i>Cress</i> which so far is great.<br />
<br />
It's very much not like any other series I've read.<br />
<br />
Often times I've found (much like movies) the 1st is far superior to any sequel. <br />
<br />
And there are so many times I feel authors draw out a series if they have a large fan base.<br />
<br />
Which, ya ok...that's great and all but after the 5th book in a series usually I'm pretty much like "okkkkkk...I'm ready for an ending now".<br />
<br />
Obviously, there are clear exceptions to the rule (Harry Potter...duh)...but it becomes clear when an author is no longer writing for the love of writing or to truly make sure their series has come full circle and they're writing to put out more books.<br />
<br />
This is NOT one of those series AT ALL. And I enjoyed the 2nd book as much as the first. In fact, on good reads as the series progresses each book gets a higher rating than the last.<br />
<br />
I'm kinda trying to take my time with this book simply because the last book isn't due out until sometime in 2015...womp womp.<br />
<br />
But anyway, just thought I'd share my obsessive love of reading with you :)<br />
<br />

I can't handle all the cute. And that BUM. <br />
<br />
Be still my heart!<br />
<br />

<br />
Is that like a side effect of having children?<br />
<br />
Wanting more of them?<br />
<br />
I swear, I ache to be pregnant again.<br />
<br />
But then my brain chimes in and is all<br />
<br />
"Remember when you had SPD and could walk or put on pants without crying out in pain? F that!...Or just crying in general...remember the emotional roller coaster from hell and the crazy hormones and the weirdoes who thought it was nothing to come up to you and rub your belly?"<br />
<br />
Yes. <br />
<br />
I remember it all.<br />
<br />
I remember being in labor for 3 days.<br />
<br />
And I still want it all.<br />
<br />
Allllll over again.<br />
<br />
And if we weren't about to get married I totally, totally would.<br />
<br />
I know fiancé would be up for it. <br />
<br />
He's had baby fever since the day I gave birth to Bug.<br />
<br />
He so desperately wants our kids to be close in age like he is with his sisters but at least for our next baby that won't be the case.<br />
<br />
By my estimate bug will be 3 or 4 when we have our next peanut.<br />
<br />
At least thats how I have it planned in my head.<br />
<br />
But it kills me to think it's that far away.<br />
<br />
Like...eats away at me.<br />
<br />
I swear I have phantom baby kicks once a week.<br />
<br />
But one day we can try again for another baby ...even if it isn't right now.<br />
<br />
And I'll be ready.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Color me an asshole, but people are so fucking bitter and cynical about Vday.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8mtDdE06MtBdQTMig02QC0pDQPNR5NaWugIeormdtxZ7IhFQfKgOwIjKIwWelLok_U06GxT9fvjLf-vOD3yOG799brbNyJq7s7Q8R3V-2TSUL9uH7M9pqX2hRObqoipLbtVLc6FrRQYi/s1600/valentines_day_engagement-session.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN8mtDdE06MtBdQTMig02QC0pDQPNR5NaWugIeormdtxZ7IhFQfKgOwIjKIwWelLok_U06GxT9fvjLf-vOD3yOG799brbNyJq7s7Q8R3V-2TSUL9uH7M9pqX2hRObqoipLbtVLc6FrRQYi/s640/valentines_day_engagement-session.jpg" /></a></div><br />
No...but really.<br />
<br />
And it's not me just saying that because I'm engaged and have a family.<br />
<br />
Because for 18...yep, you heard me right...18 years I didn't have a Valentine.<br />
<br />
My first kiss was at 16 and my first boyfriend was at 18.<br />
<br />
But all those years leading up to my first time celebrating Valentine's Day I was never mad or angry. Sure I wanted someone to celebrate with, but I knew in time that would come. <br />
<br />
If I have to hear one more person bitch about how commercialized this holiday is I'm going to round-house kick them to the teeth.<br />
<br />
The only way this holiday is commercialized is if you let it be...you realize that no one has a fucking gun to your head forcing you to buy cards, expensive jewelry, a dozen roses, and stupid teddy bears no one really wants, right?...it's YOU.<br />
<br />
And regardless of that...so the-fuck what.<br />
<br />
Let people buy chocolate and whatever else the fuck they want and get off your stupid bitter soapbox.<br />
<br />
You're so busy bitching about this ridiculous holiday, when you clearly can't see how similar it is to so many others...<br />
<br />
Helllllo....Mother's day and Father's is the EXACT SAME THING. <br />
<br />
But instead of expressing your love to your significant other or kids it's your parents.<br />
<br />
Are you gunna rant and rave about that now?<br />
<br />
No.<br />
<br />
Because that would be a dickhead move on your part about not celebrating your parents.<br />
<br />
IT'S THE SAME THING.<br />
<br />
So instead of showing our gratitude and love for our parents it's for our boyfriends, fiances, husbands, partners, children...whatever.<br />
<br />
WHY is that a bad thing?<br />
<br />
Like it boggles my mind.<br />
<br />
And don't even try and give me any of that bs about how we should show our love every day of the week because by the same token should we not be showing love and appreciation to our parents every day as well.<br />
<br />
Ugh..<br />
<br />
AND THEN people are on Facebook are all...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbL2PM0ND1MlZRHsp52IZrHMcIOkpIHebT19EQp4WbwB2xEUSRbSvWje6tmGzCz7BKv-1s2N_iQJcyZP9vU_Hb7KQe8rp-v2UO6JLbzOJFj5l-3vI__Q2-eM1FdiBO-vEk5UESgTWRI51/s1600/70a067a0382bbd198364ed2172db9fd12b8c86e4393da11d89c4a644463947b5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihbL2PM0ND1MlZRHsp52IZrHMcIOkpIHebT19EQp4WbwB2xEUSRbSvWje6tmGzCz7BKv-1s2N_iQJcyZP9vU_Hb7KQe8rp-v2UO6JLbzOJFj5l-3vI__Q2-eM1FdiBO-vEk5UESgTWRI51/s1600/70a067a0382bbd198364ed2172db9fd12b8c86e4393da11d89c4a644463947b5.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Just stop. <br />
<br />
Stop now.<br />
<br />
Boys are dumb, they'll always be dumb they will never ever see something like proposing on Valentine's day as cliche.<br />
<br />
It's only cliche to women because we've seen it in the 404209238 romantic comedies we watch. <br />
<br />
But guys will never see it as cliche, to them it's romantic. <br />
<br />
And again...WHO THE FUCK CARES. <br />
<br />
And you don't know their story!<br />
<br />
Maybe they as a couple have a special significance with valentines day.<br />
<br />
So stop being so damn cynical. <br />
<br />
I just wish people would take a step back and see it for what it is.<br />
<br />
A SPECIAL day to show love and be loved by the ones we love.<br />
<br />
Not that we don't do it every day, but it's a day designed to express it maybe a bit more or take the time out of our busy schedules to stop and REALLY show our appreciation for one another.<br />
<br />
I just thought I should share my frustration with you.<br />
<br />
Do you agree?<br />
<br />
Am I totally crazy?<br />
<br />
Alright your turn, please share with me.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
But not hot mess in the whole Miley cyrus sort of way.<br />
<br />
But in the constant, nonstop, holy hell I'm busy sort of way.<br />
<br />
Work is still awesome.<br />
<br />
Bug is a beast and is now practically running.<br />
<br />
And I just booked my fourth....yes, that's right FOURTH photo shoot for February!<br />
<br />
Elated doesn't even begin to cover it.<br />
<br />
I even have a return client! And another return client who will likely be booking in March.<br />
<br />
It literally makes my heart happy.<br />
<br />
And lezbehonest...my wallet fatter.<br />
<br />
It is the greatest feeling in the world being paid to do something you're so passionate about.<br />
<br />
I'm in the process (which is partially why I've been so absent lately) of creating my photography website which has been fun and exhausting all the same.<br />
<br />
But with this many clients, it needs to be done.<br />
<br />
Also Bug will be one in less than a month.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://reactiongifs.com/?p=17738"><img src="http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/12/ahhhhhhhh.gif"></a><br />
<br />
Yep.<br />
<br />
Where has the time gone ...??<br />
<br />
Which means I'm almost at my one year blogiversary too!<br />
<br />
So between full time work, my photography business picking up, planning a birthday party, and making time for friends and family I have had zero bloggy time.<br />
<br />
But Alas, I promise when the dust settles I will be posting regularly again, and once the website is up and working I'll share it with ya'll :)<br />
<br />
Hooray!<br />
<br />
And now I leave you with this face.<br />

Amazing.<br />
<br />
And this was a quick, non-calculated shot that I was taking while I was hyperventilating over FINALLY getting my lens in.<br />
<br />
I can't WAIT to take it out and see what it's really capable of!<br />
<br />
It's a 50mm f/1.8 G AF-S Nikkor FX Lens and it will be perfect for my upcoming engagement shoot!<br />
<br />
Yep!<br />
<br />
Another shoot, and I have my last bride-to-be to thank. Her new fiancé's brother proposed shortly after our shoot and that amazing girl gave the newly engaged couple MY name. <br />
<br />
If you can't hear it by the way I'm typing I'm BEAMING. <br />
<br />
I feel as though I'm forever indebted to her for helping me get my name out there. <br />
<br />
And not only that, we have another shoot in the making.<br />
<br />
YAY!<br />
<br />
The apartment is amazing. It's slowly becoming more and more of a home as we get settled, I'll be sure to post more pictures as soon I get things together.<br />
<br />
I'm praying our landlord lets us paint Bug's room since the colors are so off from the theme we had before, it just looks redonkulous. <br />
<br />
And I suppose I'll update you on the biggest event of the New Year.<br />
<br />
Boyfriend and I ARE ENGAGED!!!<br />
<br />
Boyfriend...now fiance...proposed on New Years.<br />
<br />
It was adorable, and don't say I said anything, but he got down on one knee in front of all our friends at midnight and was totally shaking like a little leaf. <br />
<br />
It was SO CUTE.<br />
<br />
It was kinda perfect for us considering our first kiss was 3 years prior on New Years.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to start a new chapter in our life together as a family!<br />
<br />
And so is Sadee<br />

Time to start planning a wedding!!<br />

<br />
Well...here it is.<br />
<br />
We shall start with my Bug.<br />
<br />
Are you ready?<br />
<br />
She's....<br />
<br />
WALKING.<br />
<br />
Yes, you heard me right.<br />
<br />
My 10 month old is walking.<br />
<br />
In fact, she took her first steps our first full day in the apartment, when she was only 9.5 months old.<br />
<br />
Crazy baby.<br />
<br />
That girl does not stop, I swear, even for a moment.<br />
<br />
She's still not entirely sure of herself and her ability yet so her primary means of transportation is still cruising and crawling.<br />
<br />
Slowly but surely she's trusting herself more and more. <br />
<br />
At first we were "forcing" her to try and walk....so basically we'd stand her up nowhere near anything she could grab onto and ask her to come to one of us. She started with only a step or two and now can take anywhere from 4 to 10 steps on her own. <br />
<br />
It's totally crazy.<br />
<br />
And the more practice she has the more confident she becomes, so now with her slew of new toys from Christmas she will walk from one to the other on her own if they're close enough together. <br />
<br />
This baby is so smart, and has an insane personality. Like I don't understand how someone so small can be so their own person. She makes all these different faces and gestures, I just sometimes find myself looking at her and shaking my head.<br />
<br />
But as much as she amazes me...my GOD she is a pain in the ass. <br />
<br />
Like a ROYAL pain in the ass. <br />
<br />
There is no question she is my child and that this is the karma I am getting for being a pain in the ass to MY parents.<br />
<br />
She is a button pusher....no no...she is QUEEN of the button pushers. And the worst part is, she knows it.<br />
<br />
She is smart enough to test the ever living shit out of boyfriend and I but not exactly old enough to understand when we say no we mean business. Everything is a game to her still.<br />
<br />
She isn't to blame, I know she's a tiny person but her being as advanced as she is makes parenting a real bitch let me tell you. She acts like a toddler without understanding the repercussions as a toddler would.<br />
<br />
She has four...FOUR top teeth coming in. Three have already broken through and are about half way out (the two teeth on either side of the front, and her top front tooth on the right side) her top front left tooth is juuuuuuuust peeking through the gums.<br />
<br />
Dear god those teeth have come out fast, and surprisingly *knockonwood* without pain. She's done so great with teething I'm genuinely impressed.<br />
<br />
She had one day where her little cheeks got pretty swollen and very pink, but she never complained.<br />
<br />
Bug now weighs 15.6 lbs <br />
<br />
:O<br />
<br />
I know. <br />
<br />
She has the best laugh, like ever.<br />
<br />
It is so hearty and genuine, and I can't help but smile anytime I hear it.<br />
<br />
She is all about new sounds, she loves to do that thing you do when referring to indians where you take your hand and pat your mouth while making noise (ya you just did it...I saw you), and she just started this new tongue sucking noise.....ahhhhh babies. <br />
<br />
She LOVES to dance or as boyfriend refers to it "twerk" (fml)<br />
<br />
And she also loves to scream....and scream....and scream. <br />
<br />
There is a scream for all occasions.. happy, sad, angry (sounds a lot like a battle cry), silly...you name it.<br />
<br />
And she looooves to eat small chunks of people food now. <br />
<br />
We give her ham, cheese, yogurt, green beans, carrots, bananas, pasta, chicken, toast, eggs...she loves almost everything we put in front of her. <br />
<br />
I'm sure there's more but for now I will leave you with a few pictures from Christmas.<br />
<br />
Cuteness overload. <br />
<br />
You're Welcome.<br />
<br />

<br />
First off lets start as to why I've been MIA.<br />
<br />
Three words.<br />
<br />
Verizon. Fucking. Sucks.<br />
<br />
Yes, pardon my french but they are all stupid, untrained, time-wasting fools.<br />
<br />
When I tell you it took us 3 weeks, like 15 agents, and about 8 hours of wasted time, I am NOT exaggerating...not even a little.<br />
<br />
So long story short it took us 3 weeks to get TV and internet.<br />
<br />
And there was no WAY I was blogging on my piece of shit phone either.<br />
<br />
Which means I have MUCH to catch you up on, so to keep you intrigued, I'll do a daily post until we're allllllll caught up.<br />
<br />
And there's ALOT. <br />
<br />
Pictures of the new place, a DIY project, and some very big and exciting news and events.<br />
<br />
So strap on your seat belts people it's time for a wild ride. <br />
<br />

<br />
I know I know.<br />
<br />
But we have basically spent all our time working...aaaand at target.<br />
<br />
Care to see our finds so far?<br />
<br />
I CAN'T WAIT to see it all together.<br />
<br />
So we started off with this rug:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIL6BrjCIOAn870FQ0NIgLslDyEnTzojaY4iMEwnbQRz9hV4HMPQ5wVflJfUmPHpDXYL9_MveOJ6v97A2xfLtFfmjhnMcQT2cXFxwjTfoz_JXtP4dkNu4-mG751ID3IyMj2saRvquK7MBH/s1600/14246630_121120163000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIL6BrjCIOAn870FQ0NIgLslDyEnTzojaY4iMEwnbQRz9hV4HMPQ5wVflJfUmPHpDXYL9_MveOJ6v97A2xfLtFfmjhnMcQT2cXFxwjTfoz_JXtP4dkNu4-mG751ID3IyMj2saRvquK7MBH/s400/14246630_121120163000.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Then we went black friday shopping and a stumbled upon this find:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjczYnqiZTltxQoGac9SywHKQTv6-7TKyCZjV978kN_ysBznXcsPLssXVwm1ZjIBNEK9MrS0RIvfs-fD1_gpJMuF7QIlZF0RZZq_yRmF4kCguCAoaePh4ERt87BZRRO-3VFiBs3hiEwqUj3/s1600/14546221_130401123000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjczYnqiZTltxQoGac9SywHKQTv6-7TKyCZjV978kN_ysBznXcsPLssXVwm1ZjIBNEK9MrS0RIvfs-fD1_gpJMuF7QIlZF0RZZq_yRmF4kCguCAoaePh4ERt87BZRRO-3VFiBs3hiEwqUj3/s400/14546221_130401123000.jpg" /></a></div><br />
This is actually a bookcase! But I liked it SOOOO much more as a media center and it was so much cheaper and nicer than the other media stands they had available. Sweet.<br />
<br />
And we just finished our final trip, hopefully (ya right) tonight. <br />
<br />
We got these baskets to go in the "tv stand"<br />
<br />

Can you tell I have a thing for blue?<br />
<br />
Hahah it's not even my favorite color. Purple is...followed by green. But in regards to home decor I LOVE blue, it's so calm and serene. <br />
<br />
I also LOVEEE gray, our current bedroom is gray but unfortunately we'll be losing that color.<br />
<br />
Our little family will be all moved in TWO weeks from today...AHHH.<br />
<br />
Anddddalso my buggy has a fever. Well had. <br />
<br />
She woke up soooo warm and mopey and so not bug-like. I knew right away something was wrong.<br />
<br />
She had a 101.2 fever. It totally breaks my little mommy heart.<br />
<br />
We took her temperature an hour ago and it was 98.4! Yippee!!!<br />
<br />
Thank god it was short-lived because I can't hand sad mopey bug. It's like a knife through the heart.<br />
<br />
All is good for our little family but it is about to get verrrrrry busy. <br />
<br />
Good busy, but busy nonetheless.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to be in our new little home and enjoy our first christmas as a family! :D<br />

<br />
Like...Slow...the...eff...down.<br />
<br />
So Bug is now 9 months and her most recent milestones include:<br />
<br />
Adding the word "Dada" to her repertoire (which boyfriend totally attempts to act all like "whatever...no biggie" about but is secretly losing his shit over)<br />
<br />
Clapping her hands (it's literally like heart wrenchingly cute) ...especially when she does it because she likes a song and proceeds to dance and clap. <br />
<br />
WAVING!!! She literally just did this on thanksgiving for the first time. As we were leaving her uncle waved goodbye to her and that little crazy took us all by surprise and waved back. We were all like<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcff3wqZRlNHG8g2mzvDKZRrym2z6DL27NHW_7EPw-_yy3S0nxr6m7RbXr1oyiZKQr3V8Ukjyn1wJa3TgltPCRT5Tv5vzOWs0QAM1guGZBdW0BMxEpI87sN4qMvQl0YZgnozOv-ml9Jra7/s1600/Raisins_Face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcff3wqZRlNHG8g2mzvDKZRrym2z6DL27NHW_7EPw-_yy3S0nxr6m7RbXr1oyiZKQr3V8Ukjyn1wJa3TgltPCRT5Tv5vzOWs0QAM1guGZBdW0BMxEpI87sN4qMvQl0YZgnozOv-ml9Jra7/s640/Raisins_Face.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Followed immediately by<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYDebK90zPBDhpyTXoCruIjNvkfN0uGMNiPOd1NbVeCIzt0kTfTgNdWbd4a40864lvwV4ysUX_RIWGvOEjUEdhcjF8m9_PKoP-wpw5u18JR0YYboZ7WOwQFc2hEpUvDsdJzRCY0yIcATRE/s1600/crying-meme.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYDebK90zPBDhpyTXoCruIjNvkfN0uGMNiPOd1NbVeCIzt0kTfTgNdWbd4a40864lvwV4ysUX_RIWGvOEjUEdhcjF8m9_PKoP-wpw5u18JR0YYboZ7WOwQFc2hEpUvDsdJzRCY0yIcATRE/s640/crying-meme.png" /></a></div><br />
And the final thing she has done is stand unassisted.<br />
<br />
I shit you not.<br />
<br />
So this little buttface (for lack of a better word) loves my phone. <br />
<br />
It's like baby catnip to her.<br />
<br />
Well she found it lying beside me on the couch and decided that she needed it at that very moment and without hesitation grabbed it and start chewing/gumming it...except...little to her knowledge did she realize that the phone was occupying both her hands and not holding on to anything, and she stood for a solid two seconds. She hasn't really built upon it much more, you can tell she's terrified about it and wont really do it on her own unless she doesn't realize she's doing it.<br />
<br />
We've gotten her to stand for about 10 seconds before plopping down but haven't really made much headway aside from that.<br />
<br />
But this baby is just so absolutely terrfying-ly smart.<br />
<br />
Slow you're roll, little bug, before you give mommy a heart attack.<br />

<br />
I feel like the weeks are FLYING by now.<br />
<br />
How the eff did Thanksgiving sneak up on us like that?<br />
<br />
I'm so excited to have a day off to spend time with the whole family and eat until I coma....no shame.<br />
<br />
I got my first check from the new job and wow...just wow.<br />
<br />
I am SO happy.<br />
<br />
Boyfriend and I went to go see an apartment yesterday.<br />
<br />
And what's funny is it specifically said in the ad that it was not a pet friendly place. <br />
<br />
But I kept coming across the apartment and it was in a perfect location for us. It was far bigger than anything we'd seen, very very nicely done, AND cheaper.<br />
<br />
So I left an email, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best.<br />
<br />
Yesterday the owner called, I told him I was very interested in the place and that I noticed that the ad said it was not pet friendly but I figured I'd go out on a limb. I told him about Sadee and that I wasn't about to be dishonest about owning a pet. He said that he sincerely appreciated my honesty, that his wife was currently at the home and if we had time to stop by we could go see it in person.<br />
<br />
I practically shit my pants.<br />
<br />
Here is a time when being honest can actually work in your favor. And I had a feeling that may be the case because it's not like it is in a giant complex.<br />
<br />
Well all it took was walking in the door and I knew it was for us. And boyfriend did too.<br />
<br />
So we filled out an application and NOW we wait.<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned I hate waiting?<br />
<br />
I like to think I'm patient but really...I'm not...not even a little. And it will eat away at my soul until I know either way whether or not we got the apartment.<br />
<br />
So to all my bloggy friends send out your best and biggest "You got the apartment" vibes and wish our little family luck!<br />

4. I'm an only child. And when you're a kid everyone's all "oh that's awesome you don't have to share anything" blah blah blah.. But the grass is always greener right? Well it was shitty for me. Sure I got more presents than most kids but who gives a rats ass if you have all these toys and no one to enjoy them with. AND if boyfriend didn't have two sisters bug would have NO aunts uncles or cousins. Talk about depressing. <div><br></div><div>5. I love to sing. I'm not a bad by any means but I'm also not American idol material. I just genuinely love to sing. </div><div><br></div><div>6. I despise the sound of my own voice (talking not singing).</div><div><br></div><div>7. My great grandmother lived to be 102.</div><div><br></div><div>8. I name EVERYTHING. blankets, rugs, cars, pillows, toys, you name it.</div><div><br></div><div>9. My favorite tv shows are pretty little liars (judge away), vampire diaries, and Big Bang theory. </div><div><br></div><div>10. I'm obsessed with reading and to this day my all time favorite book is still Tuesdays with Morrie. That book changed my life and I'm ashamed by the ugly crying that followed most of my nights reading it.</div><div><br></div><div>11. I'm obsessed with candles.</div><div><br></div><div>12. And also anything Disney.</div><div><br></div><div>13. I can't wait for the day I get to call boyfriend, husband.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll definitely be adding to this but for now it'll have to do because I'm one tired mama! </div><div>
