Our Weekend

This weekend was eventful to say the least.

Friday we had t-ball practice then his Grammy and Pop-Pop came over to visit for a little while.

Saturday morning I got up and mowed the front yard which is a first for me at this house. I am sure the neighbors were laughing at me but hey a girls gotta get things done! After that J and I got cleaned up and headed to town. I had a few errands to run before we headed to see my dad and step mom.

This is my niece M1 we celebrated her 5th birthday with the whole family Saturday night but before we did that

Me and these two ladies... I just realized you can't see KJ.... went to get my tattoo!!

 I have issues with needles so I closed my eyes!

 The top of the heart hurt the worst!

This isn't a great picture of it and my arm is all blotchy but those are J's initals and the heart is bright pink which is my favorite color... some would tell you it's my signiture color : )

I have wanted tattoo for a long time I just didn't know what I wanted once I decided what I wanted and where I wanted it I couldn't wait to have it done. It turned out better than I had it pictured. I love it. The special thing about it is the font is called Jackson which is J's first name!

After we were done with that we headed back to dad's to hang out with the family

I love hanging out with family it always turns into a good time!!

Sunday J and I got up and mowed the backyard which was way harder than the front because of the trampoline and the swingset! But I managed to get it all done..... well except the weed eating I can't weed eat to save my life! Lucky for me my Uncle S got his nephew to come over after school today and weed eat for me!

I have told myself I don't need a man to take care of me I can do it all myself and I can except run a weed eater... Oh well : )

J went with his dad for a few hours so I decided to head over and talk to a friend about Scentsy which I have started selling if anyone is interested in it. Then I went out to the farm and hung out until it was time to meet the realtor to put our house on the market.

All and all it was a great weekend I can't wait to see what happens next weekend!!

Big Changes are a comin......

Over the last couple of days I have had to make several big choices for J and I.

The first being that I can no longer live in the house I am currently renting. I could stay here but J and I would have no money for the fun stuff. I love this house and the neighborhood. It has a great yard I can't say enough about it. I have an amazing friends who have offered their Mother in Law suite for J and I to rent. It's 2 bedroom 1 bath which is perfect for us!! We will share the kitchen with them which is totally fine. We have agreed that we are going to take turns making dinner for what is going to be an extended family! They have a daughter K that is a little over a year younger than J and they get along great so hopefully this works out for a while for us. I know that I can't live there forever but at least until school gets out and the summer is over. Once school starts I hopefully can find my own place hopefully here.. If not I have the option to move where my dad and step mom live which isn't far from which wouldn't be bad.

The second is that I finally putting our Garfield house on the market. Thank goodness!! That house has been nothing but a burden since we purchased it. Right now we are renting it and I have learned I am not cut out to be a landlord!

I am finally coming to realize C is never coming home to stay, I will never again hear him pull into the driveway after work. I will never smell his smell in the my house again. All these things still make me very sad. But one day at a time I am getting a little stronger I am a little less sad. I am not quite ready to move on but I am ready to start a new chapter in my life.

This song is totally my theme song right now..
