LIfe

So my last day as Jace's nanny is next Thursday. I get to have a few days off to relax before I start training at The Little Gym and then I start Nannying again at the end of August for Keira and Aiden.

James and I have made plans to go to Kansas September 18-23. I am excited to see all his family again and show the ones that couldn't make it to the wedding our video as well as our pictures. I am hoping to get some professional pictures done of us with Joshua, so if you know of any photographers in Kansas let me know.

I am helping Vicki's sister Melanie plan Vicki's bachelorette party. She is the maid of honor so she has come up with most of the things, I am just giving my input and what not. Vicki has pretty much got the whole wedding planned and all the little details done. I have to order my dress in like December, so until then I am just waiting on her to decide on shoes. I am hoping so goes with some that you get dyed to match the dress. I think it would look good, but its not my wedding so I really don't get much say. She has been asking all the bridesmaids opinions on things which is really nice.

James is still working hard and seems to be enjoying his job, even though he works with a few questionable guys. I don't know them so I can't really say anything about them, just what I hear from James. I am hoping that he will start talking to his dad again soon. I mean how long can this really go on. I understand the need for him to have a relationship with him and I honestly have no problem with his dad, its more his step mom that causes all the problems. I am willing to work with her and at least come to a compromise for the sake of James and his dad's relationship but I honestly have no desire to have a relationship with her of anything more then being friendly to each other. You would have to know the whole story to get it. Sometimes I just need to vent about it and I don't know how else to do it and not indulge to much.

Other then all that everything else seems to be going pretty well. I am looking forward to the next couple of months as well as the things that are in store for 2010.

JOB

I GOT A JOB WORKING AT THE LITTLE GYM IN SUGAR LAND STARTING IN AUGUST.

I am super excited. It is always so much fun there with all the kids. I will be working part time while I work as a Nanny as well. Yay for good income. Now I don't have to stress out about anything anymore. I knew everything would fall into place.

Things Going On/Looking Forward Too

So here are the things going on in our life and things we are looking forward too...

1. August is almost here and my last day of work is August 6Th then I get a couple weeks off before starting my other job. Yay for a short vacation but boo for no money.

2. James and I have decided to stay living where we are for another 6 months then look for houses to rent, as we would like a house and Lizzie could really use a backyard to run in.

3. The AC went out in my car so it is extremely hot driving around. It is going to cost a fortune to fix, but we are hoping it will be covered under warranty so we don't have to pay as much to get it fixed. It needs to be fixed no matter what though.

4. James is starting to work more which is helping us out some. I hate when he works, but it does help us out more so then when he doesn't work overtime. At least he really loves his job and enjoys working most of the time.

5. We got all of our wedding photos and our wedding DVD. They all turned out great and we cant wait to see the finished product of the DVD. He is going to add in some still shots and a slide show of our Honeymoon.

6. We are visiting Kansas in September and I am very excited about it. As different as Kansas is from here, I still really enjoy going up there. Plus I love spending time with his family and Joshua.

7. Brayden's 1st birthday is coming up next month, so the party should be a blast. He is into everything. Walking and talking too.

8. I am excited to go to NY in May for Vicki and Adam's wedding. They have pretty much got everything together and it sounds like it is going to be a blast. Vicki picked out the bridesmaids dresses and they happen to be ones that we tried on for our wedding that I really really like and wanted for myself so it works our great. Now maybe I will get in shape a little more, but we will see how far that goes.

I am sure there is more but I am having a mental block at the moment. Write more later.

Boo

Well the whole family left for Destin, FL today and will be gone until July 5th... This totally sucks because James and I couldn't go and I am super sad that I don't get to be there. On top of that James is working overtime all weekend, so I will have to entertain myself this weekend. I am very glad that James is working overtime again though so I guess I couldn't complain. I will spend the weekend looking for jobs, because as of August 7th I will no longer work for the family that I currently work for. I am a little stressed but I know it will all work out in the way that it is supposed to. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. I will write more later on this weekend or next week.

Sunday Excitement

Well James was starting to get better this weekend. He laid around on the couch all Friday and Saturday. He was up and moving around on Sunday but not like his normal self. He started to notice a rash on his feet around lunch time and by four it had spread to his knees. Well needless to say by 9pm Sunday night, it was all over his body and it looked totally gross. We ended up going to the ER and getting him checked out. We went to a minor emergency room in Sugar Land which was a lot better then waiting at the hospital for hours. They said that it was a reaction to the medicine the doctor had given him so they gave him a steroid shot and some benydril and set him home with 4 new prescriptions. We were waiting at Walgreens at 11pm for all his new meds. Needless to say it was a very eventful Sunday and I am very tired from being up so late on a Sunday. James is doing better though. The rash isn't as bad and the new antibiotics seem to be working. Lets just hope that he isn't allergic to these as well, because we cant afford another ER visit and James hates having to go to them. I'll keep everyone updated on the situation, but he should be fine. He went back to work today, so I know he was at least feeling more like himself then he was the past few days.
