update

I don't really keep up with this blog anymore do I? There are probably not many who still read it either. But, there are times when I feel the need to update it so let us commence in the updating!

We moved...and here come the water works! Sad, sad, sad. I know I've mentioned this before but I loved living in the bay area and I will really miss it. I complained about a lot of things but evidently I also loved and now miss many things. South Bend is great because Notre Dame is really cool. Seeing my husband reach his goals is awesome and let's face it we were going nowhere fast in Cali. It was fun but I'm a tad more high maintenance than the two bedroom apartment we were living in with no end in sight. Now we live in a two bedroom but it has a full stove and dishwasher, laundry in unit, balcony, two bathrooms so put that in your pipe and smoke it! I'm told this is a temporary living situation since the goal of an MBA is to graduate and move on so hopefully in another year we will have more upgrades to add to our two bedroom apartment/mansion (it could happen right).

South Bend besides Notre Dame....let's put it this way, I'm sure you have a great personality but I'm just not that into you. Maybe it's the crazy humid and hot Summer that's going down over here? The locals swear the weather isn't usually like this, but whenever locals say that I know they are lying and the weather is always hot! That's what happened in the bay area too. "It's only hot for like 2 weeks out of the year, I swear!" Then why have I been sweating like I just ran a marathon with a snowsuit on for the last 2 months? Locals are like protective, proud parents and just can't see the terribleness in their children. That being said my child is actually perfect and always will be, there I said it.

We'll get use to it and I do love some things about this place but I can't think of any right now. I'll save those things I love for the next post.

Onto Summer, our child. She is growing at the speed of light. She can now use 3 sign language signs and can growl when we show her pictures of lions. Future Yale student here we come! I can't believe that last year at this exact time I was so pregnant that it was hard to get up off the floor and I still had another month to go! Now my baby is slowly turning into something else (what do you call a child that's not a baby but not a toddler? tween? No, that can't be it) anywho, she's growing and to prove it here are pictures!

 Her first pony tail. I can't get over that hair!
Pretty dress that Grandma P made for her. Yes, made! We are blessed to have a wonderful Grandma who can sew like no one's business.
