Happy Birthday June!

Gabriella and I made a cake last night for my student worker, June. Gabriella had so much fun helping me and June loved her chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I attached the links with the pictures! :)

Already?!?!

My co-worker and I made our daily trip to Starbucks this morning and saw this! Yup, Christmas cups!! I couldn't help but get that warm and fuzzy holiday feeling. My normal Cinnamon Dolce Latte has now switched to my favorite seasonal drink, the Peppermint Mocha. Of course I started thinking about how I am going to afford gifts for everyone this year but also started picturing Gabriella's face on Christmas morning. The season also reminds me of Erik's proposal and my heart hurt for a minute but hope that everything is worked out by then. Anyway, this little cup made my day! I love Christmas!!!

Halloween Fun!

Gabriella had so much fun Trick-or Treating on Halloween! The original plan was so take her to a few houses and then go home, but she was having so much fun she ended up with a whole pumpkin full of candy! Everyone commented on how cute she looked and I have to agree 100 percent!

:)

My very good friend Bree brought me a chocolate shake today to cheer me up, so sweet. I'm so blessed to have such good friends right now when I need them. THANKS MAMA!!! Love the cup! lol

Meet June!

This is June, she is my new student worker. June is studying Tourism Management and is from Korea. She is 22 and very, very sweet. She's incredibly smart and a very good cook. I'm so happy she is working in my office!

It's potty time!!!

Gabriella went potty on her new potty chair for the first time this weekend. Of course, I burst into tears and tried to hide them so she wouldn't think anything was wrong. I just can't believe we are at this stage already. What happened to my baby? It all went by too fast. Before I know it she will be going to the prom and going on dates. After she fell asleep last night I snuck in and picked her up to hold her. I missed that feeling of holding her while she was sleeping the way I used to when she was an infant. Anyway, is was very exciting to see her go potty. Go Gabriella!!!

Sad and Happy Day!

My Grandma passed away two years ago today and it is also my Dad's birthday. My Grandma passed away when I was 6 months pregnant. Right after Gabriella was born I had a dream I heard a knock at my front door and it was my Grandma coming over to meet her. I've never had a dream feel so real. I think it was her way of telling me she is still with me and watching over us. I miss her so much! Today will always be a sad day for my Dad since she passed away on his birthday. Gabriella and I are taking him to lunch today, I know she can make him smile!
