I know everyone says this when they neglect their blog, youtube, facebook, whatever so it's kind of customary now...
WOW!!! I have abandoned this poor blog for 4 months and I have been one busy lady!
Alot has changed in the past few months, I'll start with the highlights.
Makenna is now almost 11 months old. She says hi and momma, she stands and sits, crawls well, gets up and down off the couch, and plays with more and more toys. She finally got her first tooth 2 weeks ago on the bottom right and will soon have the left also. She is sleeping in later which works fantastically with my new schedule. And she eats tons of different foods and some small solids like cheerios, goldfish, yogurt drops, etc. She is sooo tall and I can't wait to see what her measurements are at our next doctors visit.
Also my mother has gotten her own place a town away which has been an exciting and somewhat scary change. She has been with me for 2 years, and it is time to live separate lives, but its been trying on both of us too going through that change. She really likes her place and is adjusting better now. The reason for this move was also quite a change...
I have a new addition to the family, sort of... No not a baby!!! But my boyfriend has moved in and fits perfectly into our little family. It is quite a change to live with a man again, a positive change I think. He is fantastic with Makenna and treats me far better then anyone else ever has. I absolutely see a bright future with him. We met at our previous employers, and worked with each other as a 2 person mean machine for about 6 months. And I'll willingly admit he caught my eye from second one. Of course I am an oblivious human and had no clue he was interested until it was almost to late.
We both had had enough of our jobs and the poor treatment we were receiving so we both quit within days of each other and I thought that'd be the end of that but here we are.
As for the job front, I had a new job the day after I quit and am enjoying it immensely. I am back to bar tending which is what I know and am good at doing. It isn't nearly as physically demanding or draining as my previous job, and I come home and am still fresh and ready to play with Makenna. I am no longer grumpy and depressed about my job. I took a large pay cut but I feel it is well worth it for my well being alone.
All in all I am a happier person now then I ever have been, I see a bright future for myself and Makenna. I have new goals and interests and cant wait to move forward with my life.
XOXO
