Dinosaurs are Fun... But Wouldn't Make Good Developers

Hi baby, happy Friday!

It’s been another busy week for us, in that we've done more work clearing, sorting, and organizing the house, but otherwise, I’m sad to say I don’t have much excitement to write to you about.

We’re still on the lookout for fabrics and decor for your room, although I did find a cute dinosaur assortment at Target the other day that I think could be fun.  When we went back today, it was sold out, but we did pick up this “ROAR” pillow instead. Trust me that it looks and feels even better in person. At this point, I REALLY hope you like dinosaurs, because we've got plans that we aren't backing out of now.

I am finding it strange to think about how soon you are going to be here.  We both feel oddly prepared for your arrival (even though it’s clear we still have a lot to do), yet still can barely believe how quickly the time has flown.

We are now interviewing candidates for a new developer position at my job to make sure that someone will be reasonably trained and ready to work by the time I go on maternity leave, as it’s only 2 months away. 

I hope you enjoyed giving your first interviews.  I got a silent chuckle out of every kick you gave me during the process, imagining that you were giving me little hints as to what you liked about each person. You seemed to believe that strong technical skills are important for this job. I agree, baby, and I think you have good taste.

Part of me feels like there is no way I am going to have everything ready in time for me to leave, but I know I will do what I can and work really hard to keep the "baby brain" at bay and stay focused. I won't lie, there are some days when I feel like I am struggling with basic math, and have moments of panic because I forget things and misplace my keys.  Regardless, In just over 2 months time I will be home with you, and will have a whole new set of problem solving challenges to face. I'm super excited for this, baby. It's going to be the most important job I'll ever do, and I promise I won't take it lightly.

Love, Mom

The End?

So I just realized that we are really almost done with school this year. Which that is OK, but I finally started to think about the fact that it will be my senior year. I was filled with panic and fear. There is so much unknown in regards to my future. I have no idea what I will be majoring in, or for even that matter what college I will attend. But after focusing on all of these fearful things for me, I thought about a few things I did know. I know that I will have a great school year with my friends this next year, some of them I have even known for like my whole school year. One thing that I have seen in other peoples lives, is that the friends you make in high school or the friendships you have had in high school will be long forgotten once you move on in life. I want to make the most of the time that I have left with these people that I call my friends. It may be the end of this, but with one ending brings another opening in life.

Spring break.

Finally it's over!!!!! I know I may be the only one to be thinking that but quite honestly I don't care I'm excited for school! My spring break felt weird. I woke up earlier than I do on school days for starters, which is not normal AT ALL. On Monday I basically wasted the day away playing video games, mainly the God of War series, until my hands went numb and I got blisters. Tuesday was almost the same except I tried to do my poem for my creative writing class. Now I say tried because I failed, miserably. I sat there for two hours almost trying to write some quick poem but it didn't work out. Sooooo I took out my iPad, made a simple, yet raw, beat and started to write a rap to it... I know try hard. And just in case your wondering my teacher said it was alright for me to do that, sooo yea... Moving on! Wednesday and Thursday kinda overlapped for me. I worked on pressure washing the parking lot in my church in preparation for our sunrise service for Easter and then everything else is a blur. On Friday things got good! I wrote a major chunk of my song and then got to play drums at my school practicing for a youth camp I'm performing at in two weeks!! Saturday I woke up and spent the day with my friends: Maali, Sara Tossi,Megan Tossi,Shawn,my family,Maali's family, mr Tossi Cassidy, and Aurbry at Maali's late birthday party. He played nonstop for like six hours! I was exhausted and so dehydrated when I got home. I chugged three bottles of water took a shower then drank four more bottles before heading to bed. Easter Sunday was great. I love Easter almost as much,if not more than, Christmas. The feeling of the season brings me joy. We got up before the crack of dawn and had service on that clean parking lot and then ate breakfast in church. After that we went home and crashed. We were so tired. I woke up though because I had to add some more lines to my song that still isn't done. I also decided to get a hair cut which is probably going to shock most people I know because I cut it short like I used to. Now I'm sitting down going over what I have so far for my song and then I'm heading to bed. Good night. Happy Easter and as always have nice day. Ps: tomorrow is April fools day.....

Alright so this week was a pretty chill week for me. I really enjoyed myself because I really never did have to do anything. It was pretty nice to not have to do anything. But that all comes to an end tonight. Tomorrow we start school back up again, and I am very disappointed. but I did have a lot of fun. Mainly this week consisted of lots of Xbox. I also did go to the movies and I saw, GI Joe: Retaliation. I thought it was a pretty good movie but I was very disappointed that they did not develop any of the characters from the last movie. I really would have like for their to be more characters. But other than that I thought it was a pretty good story line. After I saw the movie I thought it was about time that I get a hair cut so I went to Great Clips by the mall. As I was getting my hair cut, my hair cutter lady asked me if Channing Tatum was only in for the movie for like 10 minutes. I was like wow, really. I thought that she was ridiculous then she told me she only wanted to see the movie if he was in it longer that. I did not say a word after that .
