Changes of Life

It's Friday already and I don't know where the week went, but I am not complaining! This week was a very exciting week for our family. We are going through a lot of changes. Terrell was unexpectedly laid off this summer and went back to work with a new job this past Monday for the first time in three or more months. He also started school at the end of September. He is going for a bachelors degree in Business Management with an emphasis on Music. This is very exciting for us and he is staying motivated and doing great. I am really very proud of him. We have gone through many and I mean many issues with careers in the last three years and it gets a little frustrating for us all. This is a little hope for job security for the future.

Annaleah will be turning 1 this weekend. We are having a birthday party for her on Saturday. We, Anna and I, have been spending a lot of time getting ready for the big event! She has been such a trooper. In and out of the car over and over again. She just goes along for the ride in the shopping cart wherever I take her without a peep. She does like to take off her shoes and socks when I am not looking and drop them on the ground in the store though. We were at Party City the other day when she did that and thankfully a woman found us to return the shoe before we left. Annaleah is such a character. She is a hyper little girl with a lot of personality. I can't believe she will 1 already!

Today is a day of girl time. Jaelyn, my 9 year old step daughter, is off school and she is spending the day with Annaleah and me. We will be going to library and running last minute errands. Later today Talaya, my 5 year old step daughter, will be joining us. They will both be here for the weekend. The party is a Dora Halloween party. The kids will be wearing costumes, so I am very excited to see what the girls have picked out this year!!
