A Night At The Carnival

The carnival was here for a whole week. On the second weekend, Emery asked if we’d take her at the last minute so I did. We were joined by my brother and his girlfriend before they headed off to see a movie. Emery and I ended up staying out until 11 pm, and afterwards we stopped at Taco Bell because she insisted on having a burrito. And it was one of the few places open in town. While we waited for our food this group of friends came in, and one of the guys instantly took to Emery. He played “hide and seek” with her and even had her giggling by making a bunch of funny faces. I wish I had a picture of them because it was so cute how Emery was so taken with this guy. This hardly EVER happens with anyone. She’s pretty shy and stand offish with just about everyone. Eventually we had to head out and she said her goodbyes to the group. A few of the workers had been watching their interactions, and she made sure to say goodnight to them too. As we headed home, Emery sighed and said “Mom, that was fun.” right before dozing off. And it really was a perfect carefree and fun night.

When Did July Get Here?

Hmm, hello! I know it’s been awhile. July, already? Really? Yeesh! I've actually been suffering from a huge case of “writers block”.  Or you could just call it “being lazy”. I’d often sit down behind the computer fully intent on writing something only to find myself coming up blank. It’s like I knew what I wanted to write about I just didn't really have the words for it. Don’t you hate when that happens? Well, instead of forcing something I’d just close my laptop and continue with my day. I know that makes me a bad blogger, but I’d rather be inconsistent than forced.

Since there’s a nice gap between the time I last posted it’s safe to say that I have something to write about. But, this weeks is also a busy one for me. My place of employment has switched over to a new system so I’ll be spending a lot of my free time learning about it. I also submitted my financial aid, and I’ll have to headed to Weatherford sometime this week to register for classes. I've been out of school for a semester (seems like it’s been forever though) and I’m pretty excited about starting up again! I feel like I have a “new resolve”. So many things in my life our changing and I feel like I need to get my ass into gear and finish this already.

Now, last week I only had a three day work week so I took full advantage of the time off. It. Was. So. Nice. I was able to spend 4 days at home relaxing and enjoying time with my family. It was also really nice to just take a few steps back and breathe. But that’s not saying we weren't busy! We did a lot of things, and were able to visit with friends. It was nice, and I don’t think we stayed at home for three of those days. So this week will consist of quite a few catch up posts; complete with pictures! Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe fourth of July.
