Spring Update

Well, to run through a lengthy update as quickly as possible is nearly IMPOSSIBLE so I will try my best to remember everything and keep it short. This past month and a half have been wonderful. I made a trip to Indiana with Brooklyn and a friend. I got to spend some wonderful time with my mom, went shopping, made it to see my BF in Odon and Brooklyn got to see her grandparents. It was quite nice. Shortly after coming home my mom and bother, Toby, made a trip down so we got even more great time in. Last weekend they came down again and it was the best weekend ever. Mom, Toby, Brooklyn and I all went to Memphis to see Graceland. I have always wanted to go so it was so nice to experience it with my little girl. The rest of the weekend Scott was off so we got in a lot of hangout time which consisted of dinners, shopping, porch sitting and conversation. Scott, Toby and I even got to go out two nights and hang out with some friends. Scott and I don't get to do that a lot so it was very nice. Having Toby along was an added bonus. We actually watched an all girl Rage Against the Machine cover band that was AMAZING.
It was a little stressful and still is a bit however, because my mom has been sick. She was in some pain while she was down and it's hard to watch your mother hurting. Right now we are just waiting for some test results and hoping the doctors can help her feel better. I will keep you posted. I got a new MacBook last week! I'm enjoying it so much and because I now have a new one, my old one will go to Brooklyn. Six years old with her first laptop!!! I was 20 when I got my first computer!
Work has been a little stressful as well as this is a very busy time for me. Hopefully, after next week it will slow down.
Brooklyn is doing wonderfully. She just lost her very first top tooth. This makes number 4, I think, however she informed us all that this was a much bigger deal because top teeth are more difficult to lose than bottom teeth! Ha. She actually lost that tooth the day before picture day so I can't wait to see how it turns out. She told me she smiled REALLY BIG! I bet it's wonderful. I'm glad we will have it captured in the school pic! Tomorrow Brooklyn has her first dentist appt since some of her adult teeth have come in. I'm anxious to hear the dentist opinion on how well she is taking care of them.
Scott has been working a lot lately so we haven't been able to spend too much time together besides when my family was here. I actually had a few days where I stayed up late or slept on the couch until he got home so I could see him. I guess we were made for this life. It hasn't really ever bothered me. I miss him during times like these but I can't help but feel blessed that he is working, doing a job he LOVES and that he has work. Also, the times like these make the days he is home so wonderful. I definitely think we don't take our time together as a family for granted. That's a blessing for sure!
This weekend should be great. B is off of school tomorrow and Scott and I are home from work. Besides the dentist, we are going to lounge and hang out. Tonight however, we are kicking the easter weekend off with a bang. CIRQUE DU SOLEIL style! I can't wait. I have always wanted to go to a Cirque show. The show we are going to see is Saltimbanco and it features lots of acrobats and jugglers. I bought the tickets as stocking stuffers for Christmas so I am about to die with this wait! It's finally here! It should be amazing. I have no doubts.
Well, I hope you are all well. I will leave you with some pics!
