Well a lot has happened but most of it I can't remember so to sum it up, my momma moved to Maui. It was quite an adjustment but she's been out three times since she moved & we always have fun when she comes out. I know her & Russ are happy there & that's all I can ask.
We moved! Into a MUCH nicer, bigger house in a better part of town & although it's far away from everything that's one of the things I love most about it. Our home is beautiful, 2500 sq ft & has a pool/spa. Yes! Unfortunately for Dave the house was a yucky, pukey green color so he had to paint the ENTIRE house. (Inside, not outside) I did Bella's bathroom, did all the floorboards, (yes, the people that owned the home before us painted the floorboards too. Silly people.) and did a little painting downstairs but Dave did most of it. It's not because I'm evil or anything, I asked him to let me help him but he didn't want me to. He painted an entire 2500 sq ft house, by himself, for me. The man loves me. Our home is now officially GORGEOUS. Our master bedroom is dark brown & blue, our master bathroom is HUGE & has a separate tub & shower & *gasp* two sinks. To most of you it's probably not a big deal but to us it's amazing since our old house only had one. And our closet....*sigh* I could post a picture but it wouldn't do it justice. It's huge. Let's just say this: It has room for all my shoes! That should give you an idea of how big it is. Haha. My kitchen is red, I've always wanted a red kitchen, with a window that looks out into the pool in the backyard so while I'm doing the dishes I can watch my gorgeous man & my beautiful daughter playing in the pool. (which I think has only happened two or three times this summer) I LOVE swimming but I am extremely afraid of bees & wasps & whenever I try to go swimming those stupid wasps chill on the surface of the pool, then fly away, and come back again which makes me jump out of the pool & run to the door. In any event, Bella's room is big, much bigger than what I had growing up, and she decided she wanted it painted pink & yellow, which her Daddy did with silent grumbling. (Hehehe) Coupled with the GORGEOUS furniture she inherited from her Aunt Chris, (A dresser with a mirror attached, a double bed, two night stands & a tall dresser) the kid's got it made!
Bella started preschool & although she only goes one day a week she loves playing with the other kids & adores her teachers. That's one of the draw backs of being an only child I guess, no one to play with. But on the up-side, man does she want for nothing. She has so many family members that dote on her & just love her to death. She is truly a blessed little girl to have all the family she does.
Speaking of Bella, her birthday is coming up! I can't believe my baby girl is going to be 3! I've already ordered the invitations & can't wait to start planning it! I also can't wait for our first Christmas in our new home. It's going to be amazing. I don't know I just really feel like this is OUR home. When I first moved in with Dave, he had already had that house for years & I never truly felt like it was my home, but now I do. We made the decision to buy this house TOGETHER. We picked out the paint together.... (wait, that's a lie. We picked out one paint color together. The other colors I picked out & he painted. Haha. That's better anyway.) I just love our home & our life together.
I apologized to someone. Normally this wouldn't be news-worthy but it was a big deal for me. It was an apology I never thought I'd give, to someone I never wanted to speak to ever again. The fact that I indeed DID apologize just goes to show how much I've grown & it makes me very proud of the person I'm becoming.
Dingo passed away on May 28th. One day he was fine, the next he was just laying around not eating & we found out he had advanced kidney failure. We put him down so he wouldn't suffer & I stayed with him until the end. Although we used to call him stupid, we loved that dog. His excitement & devotion was unmatched in any other dog I've seen & we will all miss him dearly.
And the most recent news is that I went back to red.....hair that is. I had my hair blonde for over two years. Never dyed it. I told myself I wouldn't dye my hair again until it had grown out to a length I was comfortable with & until I could afford to get it done professionally. And I stuck to it! Although I'm still growing it out & it's no where near long enough, it's getting there. Anyway I absolutely LOVE the color & have had nothing but compliments on it. I really do look better with dark hair. Blonde just washes me out & the red brings out the pale hue of my skin & it also brings out my eyes, which is cool because my eyes really do rock. ;)
That's about it. There are going to be trips to California, Seattle, and Maui in the future & although the idea of flying makes me sick to my stomach & the idea of flying with Bella is even worse, I'm very excited to see my family. Plus I have an iPad so Bella will be able to watch her favorite TV shows & play her games on it.
