Hello Everyone! Even though October is almost through, I figured I would write an entry before we got into November.
My blog this year has not really gotten far, and I was really hoping that I would be keeping up with it more than I would. I should be able to find things to write about and to share every day, but the truth is sometimes words evade me.
I do have plenty of things that happen in my life. Maybe there is too many to name. Too many activities going on in these past few months to really write about?
I don't like super long blog entries. Maybe that is it? Maybe I'm just trying to sum up everything all into one, so that it is easier on the eyes to read? hmmm.....
VACATION
We finally got our vacation! :)
We traveled to New York on October 3rd! Boy was that a long ride. We left South Carolina at 4am and didn't get to New York until about 7pm. Truth is we have a 4 year old who is still potty training, so we kept stopping so that he could go potty :)
We spent about 4 days with my papa! We had a big cook-out with all the family (I mean family that Chris just now met (after 8 years of being together) )
And I also got to see my father (I haven't seen him in 8 years either)
We spent a day at Chris's grandparents Lake House on Deruyter Lake. That was fun and little man had a blast! It was a little chilly, so we really didn't get to fish. (We really didn't have the proper clothing either)
We then spent about 4 days at Chris's dads house in Hopewell Junction (about 3 1/2 hours away from Deruyter Lake)
We went to this pretty cool, local, small music store where I finally got a violin! I have been practicing almost every day since :) (I haven't played since I was 10)
We left New York on Monday (the 13th) and we didn't get back to South Carolina until 7pm on Wednesday.
We broke down (needed a new alternator) and ended up having to stay 2 nights at a Best Western.
We had to borrow money from Esther in order to get home (we needed $150 more dollars... ugh)
But we finally made it back home and we miss New York horribly.
I have already been looking for houses up there, because I know that we'll be moving up there in the future. I no longer have family in South Carolina, I have a brother I don't talk to that lives in Florida, and I have a sister in North Carolina who I would see more in New York than I do here in South Carolina (even though she is only an hour and a half away)
WORK
My etsy shop has been doing so well. I enjoy making stickers and doing this. It provides an extra income for my family and it helps pay the bills every month!
Chris of course is still at Michaels. I'm unsure when the new store is supposed to be opening. I think Chris said sometime this coming Spring or Summer.
LITTLE MAN
Little man of course is growing like a weed and his vocabulary is getting better everyday.There are some SUPER FUNNY things that he likes to say! He also is in love with all things music, and he sings with me everyday (and night when I sing a special lullaby)
He is 40" tall!
Well this is all for now.
Williams birthday party is on Saturday and it is still hard to believe that he is turning 3. Esther and Kevin want to go to the Renaissance Festival on Sunday. We may or may not go, depending on if Chris works or not. We really need the money right now, and can't be spending it. As it is we still owe Esther $150, plus $400 rent (for the month of September and October)
I still have yet to get my back pay and we are really relying on that to come.
I also need another Dr. Appt and an MRI appt (still trying to get in to get one)
Hopefully I write one more time this month. If not...
Till November :)
Melissa
