Gabbi has gotten so stinkin' smart!! I know, I know, all mom's think that their kid is the brightest, but Gabbi really is pretty smart! I think that it's completely amazing that at 2 1/2, she can already put together full sentences, and use lots of big/grown up words in context. (Which is not so good sometimes, when she learns something bad.)
She got mad at my little sister Alysia the other day, and told her "Don't you ever, ever do that again! Okay?" Or, when something isn't going her way, she'll say, "goodness, goodness, goodness." My two favorite things that she says right now are "I love you soooo much!" and "Thank you so much!" It just makes my heart melt!! She'll tell me "Mommy, you look so pretty!" or "You are gorgeous!" (I've trained her well!) This was sooo funny, but really embarrassing....we had some really nice customers come in to rent a storage room, and they had dreads and gold grillz (they kinda looked like Lil John!) Well, I had to go out to show them a storage room and I was working alone that day, and I had Gabbi with me. We were all walking out of the front door of the showroom, and Gabbi looked at me and said "Mama, they're scary!!" I wanted to die!! Luckily, they thought it was pretty funny too!! I was so embarrassed!
One of my other favorite thing though, is to hear her pray before bed. It's so funny to hear what she prays about! It usually starts out "Thank you God for....(mommy and daddy, lady and chloe), then things get funny....she ALWAYS thanks God for her hair bows (which I think is super cute), and for eat aka food, her toys, her friends (which she'll name), sometimes her teachers at school, her grandparents, and even my sister's boyfriend Jordan. (He really needs the prayers too, b/c he doesn't believe in God. Don't even get me started on that, It's a pretty sore subject!!)
I just needed to take a minute to brag!! Of course I think she's really great, she's my kid!

AHHHHHH!!! Things have been so soooo crazy around here lately!! I have been staying super busy working at Uhaul and the MDO. Plus, I do a tiny, tiny bit of hair in my free time. I am just trying to hang in there, and remember that things will get better and less hectic sometime in the future. It's just kind of a rough transition from being a stay at home mom.
Eric and I started at Uhaul right around Thanksgiving time, and in the beginning we trained at several different facilities. Around the beginning of December we started working here at our facility, and in mid Dec. we moved over here to live on the property and manage it.
We walked into a HUGE mess of stuff, because the manager prior to us didn't do his job (at all). So, we have been cleaning up after him and trying to make things better. We've already made sooo much improvement!! I'm really proud of us! But we've had some resistance along the way...
Since we've started here, we have met many different people, mostly good, but some really crazy ones!! We've even had to call the cops on someone to have them removed from the property! NUTS!!! Some days I think, what the heck did I get myself into?? But all in all, I can't complain. Eric and I really enjoy the job, and getting to interact with all sorts of people.
It has also been neat to continue to see the way everything has worked out. I'm still able to work at the MDO two days a week, and Gabbi still gets to go to school there. Working there is a good break for me to get away and hang out with some good Christian ladies, and teach. (Teaching is my passion!! I LOVE to work with kids!!) Gabbi absolutely LOVES her teachers and friends there too! So it's pretty much a win, win situation....
Other than that, I do a teeny tiny bit of hair, and go to the YMCA every chance I get (not often enough)!! We like to work out, and then take Gabbi swimming in the indoor pool. She thinks that it's the coolest thing in the world! We have also started a new family tradition of going to the zoo about once a week, or every other week. (We got zoo passes for Christmas! Totally awesome!) That's about it!
We're just adjusting to our new busy lifestyle, and trying to learn our way around a new part of Fort Worth. We've gotten lost sooo many times it's ridiculous!! We finally broke down and bought a GPS!! I do have to say that I LOVE this area! It's so close to everything!! Restaurants, shopping, like every grocery store, and anything else that anyone might possibly find interesting. A huge change from little Saginaw!
Sorry it's been so long, but hopefully I've caught everyone up!!
