Valentine's Day!

 I am down with the stomach bug this week but luckily, we celebrated valentine's day this past weekend with my church during a valentine's day banquet! We were able to dress up very nicely and renew our vows and have a nice pasta and salad dinner. It was very special, and we even wore a door prize! It was nice seeing couples that had been together for 60 years and how strong their marriage was and how strong ours is as well! They had the church decorated so nice and everyone was dressed in their very best. The preacher called each couple up and said great things and prayed over them! I am looking forward to going every year. We even hired a babysitter which I have never done, now it was my sister and my cousin, but it was still nice having someone I could trust. They had a wonderful time, and they continue to amaze me every day how much they love my daughter. Sophia was bathed and ready for bed when we got home, and the house was spotless so I definitely think I will continue to hire them! Sophia loves them and they love her and I am so so thankful for them! I am so ready for next year to do this again and this time I will probably buy a more expensive dress!

Stomach bug equals no fun!

      I have never been this sick even when I was pregnant with my daughter! Monday at work I was sitting on the floor playing with my students and suddenly my stomach started aching just like the stomach bug aching! I tried to play it off like I was not hurting but inside I was in so much pain. I ended up getting up and getting my jacket because I started getting the chills and after no longer than 5 minutes, I threw up everywhere. I was absolutely embarrassed but I could not help it. The radioed my boss and she told me if I could drive to go ahead and go home. I was okay to drive home and went to my parents because that was where my daughter was due to my husband working that day. I slept honestly for 2 hours when I got there. My doctor believes I have a bad case of stomach virus because I have not eaten since Monday and cannot keep anything down! I have been lucky because my husband is off, and he has been taking care of my daughter while I rest but I am a mother first, so I am stil

Working while going through school

Image
 I started working last week at a local daycare and it is a big adjustment going to school being a mom and working! I know one day it will pay off, but I wonder when it is going great so far because I am so organized, but I need a new plan. I see my husband graduate and I want that too! I know Sophia will be so proud of me; honestly, that is all I want to make my daughter proud of me! I will continue to push forward and work towards that degree so I can graduate and walk across that stage and look at Sophia and say I did it for you sweet girl! When she sees me walk across that stage, she will know I did it for her and my husband! I want my daughter to know that even as a mother and a wife you can complete anything you set your mind to. It is a big step going back to school after you have been out of school for so long but when you are determined you definitely can achieve anything you set your mind to!  I will have a degree in business administration and get a career going!

My Papa

Image
            The other day at church I looked over at my Papa (Grandfather) and realized he was getting older, and my heart was breaking. I could see his skin and how older it was getting and how he is shaking and cannot take care of himself like he could. My Papa is 73 and I know in my heart that he is getting older and may not be with me very long. I pray he makes it to 150 but realistically I know that is unlikely. When my Maw maw died in 2017, I realized the life I short and to spend every chance I can with family because tomorrow is not promised. I am so grateful my daughter gets to know her Papa and knows the joy I had from him growing up. He is such a sweet man and would do anything he can for anyone. He served in Vietnam for the USMC and because of that he shakes very badly and cannot hold on to things that great. In 2020 during covid, he was outside in his workshop with a table saw and slipped while cutting a board and he lost two fingers because of this. He was told in 2005 th
