Look Who Is Back!

That's right, folks! Look who is back in the blogging world! I am full of conversation but I have nobody to have a conversation with, so what better than to share my thoughts, no matter how weird, how random, how deep, or whatever they may be. Sometimes, I just need to sort out all of what is going on in my head.

Things here have been wonderful! I spent from April 30-May 5 in Texas with Scott and we had such a good time. We spent a lot of time just relaxing and enjoying eachother's company. Friday night (which was May 1), we met up with Scott's sister, Meredith, and her fiance, Eric, and we went to a fabulous mexican restaurant called Gloria's. I had chicken fajitas and 2 margaritas. It was incredible. Such great food! After dinner, we went to Lonestar Park where we watched the horse races and then saw Stoney LaRue play. Randomly, on the drive home, I decided I really wanted some french fries. Random, I know. But I got french fries and Scott got a sundae. The next day we laughed over the random act of it. Saturday, the weather went from great to horrible as the facility where the Dallas Cowboys practice in Valley Ranch collapsed during a storm. We spent most of that evening watching the news. Monday, the day before I had to fly back to New York, Scott and I went out to dinner with his grandmother. We had such a great time with her! She asked, "So, have you two realized that you're right for eachother?" And we answered, "YES!" Of course! We played with his pets, Missy (dog), Calico (cat) and Gray (cat) and spent a lot of time cuddling them. I am so thankful for that, at the time, it didn't seem like much, but I will forever cherish the bonding time with all of Scott's pets. You see, just last week on Tuesday, May 19, Scott's dog, Missy, died pretty suddenly. She was fine the night before, but they woke up to her very sick on Tuesday. Scott and his dad rushed her to the vet, where she died shortly after. I will miss seeing Missy. She was such a joy to be around! I am glad that I took pictures of her and did her hair while I cuddled with her on the couch! Rest in peace, Missy Lou.

After returning home, I realized my sick obsession with fabric softeners. Seriously. I love the smell. I only use them on certain things (I don't use them much on Jayden's clothes...only his big hoodies or sweatshirts and pajamas to give them that extra cozy feel), but I use them on everything of mine. I realized my problem when I started to dream about fabric softener. I'm not joking! I had a dream about the Snuggle liquid softener in a blue bottle. Weird, huh? I spent a total of about $38 on softener in one week, I haven't used it all, obviously (that would be a LOT of laundry!), but I couldn't pick between certain scents, so I just got them all. It seemed like a really good idea at the time. However, I did experience alittle buyer's remorse when I got home and I was unloading all of the bags onto the shelf over the washer. *Sigh*...someday, I will learn.

Jayden is doing wonderful! He will be finishing up kindergarten in just a few weeks! His kindergarten graduation is June 23 and his last day of school is June 24. I cannot wait to have the whole summer with him! I have been job hunting since I quit Yankee Candle, but I have been unable to find anything around here that could give me the hours that I need. So right now, my job hunt is off considering there is only a few weeks left of school and I do not have a babysitter for the summer. I refuse to leave my son with someone that I do not trust. Therefore, I am in a jam. I will just have to be careful with what money I do have, and make it last. That means no more fabric softener splurging. Ha! Once Jayden and I move to Texas, and he gets into a school there, I will begin my job search again! I will have better luck there, I'm sure.

Speaking of Texas...the move was going to take place in June...but it might be pushed back a bit for a few different reasons. Money is one. Another, is that Jayden wants to have his birthday party here with his kindergarten friends. His birthday is July 13. That would give Scott and I more time to figure out our finances. We aren't in a huge rush. We basically picked June when we decided Jayden and I would move there, just as a "get-to" point and work towards it. We don't have a problem re-evaluating our plan and making the proper adjustments so that we can go about this move the right way! We know the move will happen, it's just a matter of getting our "ducks in a row" so that it can all go smoothly.

We have been looking at apartments, and we think that we like the location of Seven Oaks. That may be the one. We haven't decided totally yet though.

I am going to try to get back in the swing of posting everyday occurances here. This was just my general update.
So keep checking back for more :)
