Melissa doesn't post much anymore. I think that I'm going to take over the posting. I guess the biggest thing that has changed in our lives is that we are in Maryland. Things are going well for us so far. I am still looking for a job, but Melissa has found a nanny job 12 miles from the house and she is super excited about it. It is for two kids. An 11 year old boy and a three year old girl. She says that they are super cute and she can't wait to start.
Our cats are adjusting well. They aren't so much getting along with the pre-existing tenant. Clio is not so excited to have them here in the house, but they are starting to tolerate each other. I don't think they will ever be best friends, but if they tolerate eachother we'll be happy.
I guess, long story short, we're doing fine, and hoping to just keep getting better.

R.I.P. Kitty

So this is Matt. A week ago Friday I was at work. It was a normal day. About half way through the day I get a call from Melissa. I picked up the phone and well... sobbing. We had been talking about putting our oldest cat to sleep. He was almost 16 years old and had lost half of his body weight over the last year or so. He slept more than usual. He really only left the bed to eat and use the litter box. We had almost done it a couple of times already, but Melissa wasn't ready. On Friday she got the guts to do it. She took him into the local animal shelter and said her goodbyes. She started to cry and ran out as soon as she could. On her way home was when she called me. Luckily it was a pretty slow day at work and when I told them what had happened, or at least what I figured had happened with the crying and the words that I could understand between the sobs, they told me that I could go home for the day and be with her. It was hard for her, but she knows that it was the best thing for him. He will be missed.

Two necks....

A few hours ago I was doing my niece's hair. We were in front of the mirror when she said, "you have two necks". When I asked her what she meant she pointed to my double chin. I said sarcastically, "oh thanks", she then said, "your welcome". Thanks for the compliment Allie.

What a week... And it's not even over.

So I have been helping my mom out with babysitting my nieces and nephew. Tuesday I had Keegan, it was a beautiful day outside so we spent most of the time outside playing. He needed a diaper change(poop) so I began changing him, he wasn't cooperating well and decided to grab the diaper and throw it at me. All I remember is a piece of poop flying at me, hitting my shirt and then landing on the carpet. I gasped out of shock and lets just say when I looked down at him he had the biggest smile on his cute little face. How could I be mad. Today I took Alliscen and Halee to the park. Alliscen made a friend right away and ran with her new friend to meet her mom. Before I go on Alliscen likes to call me mom and pretend that I'm her mom. As I walked up to them Alliscen pointed to me and said "that's my other mom, I have two mommies". She also said "I just have two mom's, thats all, just mom's". I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life. Instead of walking up and explaining that I was her aunt, I just wanted to hide at the other side of the park, and that's what I did. I think the shock I was in left me speechless. I wonder what the rest of the week will bring me.

My favorite person.

Matt is my favorite person. He is always there for me.
He has so much love for me. He helps me with my anxiety.
He knows my hopes and dreams. I love him with all my heart.
I do not know who I would be without him. I love the idea
of being with him for all eternity.

FED UP!!

I am so fed up about the excessive amount of gray hair overtaking my beautiful brown hair. I'm 27 and have no family history of early signs of graying. I don't think I'm stressed, I really just don't know what is going on. I'm making an appointment for some highlights, it's all I can think about for fixing the problem. I really hope I can overcome my madness and realize that it is not the end of the world. For now I think I'm entitled for a little bit of panic. Is anyone in the same situation?

Weird...

Don't ask. We don't get it either.
