JJ-Isms!

I am watching my nephew for a week while my aunt and uncle are in Mexico and the more I am around him and talking to him, the more I am understanding his lingo. Like today. I sneezed and he came up to me and said, "Bess youuu." Cutest thing ever! Last night, he got my grandma's Vaseline and started putting it on his feet. He sees grandma put Eucerin on her feet so that's where he learned it. Then I said "JJ, where is your belly button?" He pulls up his shirt and points to it and then will show me where mine is. He's pretty cute. My aunt has ferrets and one climbed up my pajama pant leg last night and it scared me so I shook it off and screamed, and JJ just giggled SO hard and thought it was hilarious. I hate ferrets so they freak me out! Last night, he took my grandma's car keys and he has a toy zebra that he rides and he tried to start his zebra. That kid is too dang smart. Here's some pics of the last few days!!

He is so much fun and I'm loving spending this week with him. He does wear me out, but it is so much fun!

 

So, It Has Been Awhile!

It has been almost 2 years since I updated this thing!!! First thing is first! This guy you see in this picture is my boyfriend, Micah! We have been dating for 6 1/2 months and it has been the best 6 1/2 months of my ENTIRE life! I love him and he loves me! He is truly a blessing from the Lord! I am so lucky to have him! Here's how we met: I used to work at Safe Haven Health Care here in Poky. WE had to sign up for a training that was mandatory and we had a few different days to pick from. I think that week they had Thursday, Friday, Saturday available. I initially signed up for Thursday from 3 pm-11 pm. I came home and talked to my mom and told her about it and how it would put me working a 16 hour day Thursday (I had Friday off), and how she thought I should do Saturday so I could come home and crash, but said it ultimately was up to me. I thought about it and when I went to cross my name off for Thursday, I had a feeling come over me and it was like the Spirit was telling me, "No. Keep your name on for Thursday." I didn't think much of it, but I was just like, "Okay. Whatever." Turns out that is where my boyfriend was at. I am SO grateful I listened to the Spirit that day, otherwise I would not be dating this incredible man. April 17th he asked me to be his girlfriend and here we are almost 7 months later! :)

 

Next thing: My nephew is 19 months old!! ALMOST 2!! When did that happen!? I cannot believe how fast time has flown!!! He is at the fun stage where he jabbers, and you can't understand most of it but you catch a phrase here and there. He knows how to say my name and every morning when he gets dropped off to me, if I am still in bed, he will knock on my door (wake up call?) and say, "Enzie! Enzie!" By that point, I'm up for the day! But it is worth it! He likes to play outside and rough house and play airplane. He also is at the stage where he says "Why?" anytime you tell him something. Just a couple days ago, he entered the phase of the light sockets. (Terrible two's will be the death of me!) I told him no no and he threw what he was gonna put in the light socket and face planted and threw a fit. Moments like that make me not want children! (just kidding!)  This picture is him on March 22, 2012 and October 25, 2013. He sure is a fun, talkative, cute little guy. I swear some people think he's mine when we take him to the park or the mall or the store.

 

My nephew also knows what to do when I show him the camera. This picture says it all. . .

 

Yesterday was Micah and I's first Halloween together and it was a TOTAL BLAST! I HATE Halloween for several reasons, but spending it with the love of my life made it amazing! Here's a few pics to recap Halloween! We went over to his cousin Eliecia and Dal's house and just enjoyed time with their friends and family!

I am just loving life :) I have the best family, friends, and of course boyfriend. And his family is amazing! I always had hoped that I would get along with my boyfriend's parents and it happened! I get along great with his family! And my family loves him! Especially my mom and sister! They can't stop saying enough good things about him!!

November 17, 2013 will mark 7 months! :) Can't believe it!! And we are spending Thanksgiving together as well!!! I CANNOT wait!!!! Good food, good family, good boyfriend, good holiday!
