Phantom of the Opera

well Justin and i went to PotO on the 2nd. it was his fathers day present. it was absolutly beyond amazing! we both enjoyed it, though justin didnt like the woman behind us kicking him every 5 minutes. we had front row mezzanaine seats that were great! i really hope we can go to at least one show a year. it was great to get out just the two of us and also to have an excuse to get dressed up! though there was a couple there that made me giggle it looked like they were gonna go to prom! she had prom hair and everything. so long story short best money spent in a long time!

heres a couple pics.

justin and i. yes he wore a 100% wool coat in 90someodd degree heat!

squishy face!

the cast at the end.

the veiw from out seats. you could see everything!

life lessons

i posted this on my myspace but i feel like posting it here also

i stole this off a bulletin by mike. no idea if you wrote it or not but ill give ya credit!

1) Life is constantly changing - resolve to change yourself in order to keep up :)

2) We spend too much time worrying about stuff that we cannot change whether we worry about it or not so... resolve not to worry (do not confuse concern and worry though - learn the difference/know the difference.

3) Stay positive ALWAYS!! no matter the circumstance, it's usually never really as bad as we believe.

4) No matter how hard life is for you, someone is going through worse and that's the truth.

5) If you hit bottom, don't be despondent, afterall, there's only one way to go from there and that's... UP

6) Laugh at yourself often - it's self theraphy.

7) NEVER be afraid to state your opinion - a word of caution though - It's not WHAT you say but HOW you say it.

8) NEVER be afraid to NOT follow the crowd, as a matter of fact, LET THE CROWD FOLLOW YOU. Be prepared, however to be labelled a rebel, b*t*h, etc.....

9) The only person who has to live with you is Y-O-U so live your life in a manner so that you can look yourself in the eyes in the mirror.

10) Based on 9 above, don't place the source of your happiness in anyone's hands but your own. Others can bring you joy, be grateful for that but let the ultimate joy be within you.

theres some good lessons in there!

Getting closer

well moving is getting closer and closer. I've started packing up Michael's room since it seems to be the easiest. We still need to go back to our old house and get the stuff we left and clean it all out. I don't think that will happen till about a week or so before the move. We're trying to find a moving company that will come pack up the house and load it into a truck that he can then drive to Florida. Mainly because I won't be here to help him. I also just started a second job and they don't know I'm leaving so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. I am hoping I can transfer with them but I don't know their policies on that. My general manger at gymbo is leaving and the person we think is taking over knows I am leaving and she's fine with it. Life seems to be taking some funny turns lately but I think it will all be for the better and I think moving will be the best choice ever. So for anyone that wants to keep tabs on the countdown here you go this is the first tentative date
and this is the second


I can't wait I'm getting super excited!

well its finally happening!

were finally moving back to florida!!! YAY! i am so excited. michael and i will be leaving the end of july/beginning of august. justin will be staying till the end of september when our lease goes up so he can stay and build work experience. michael and i will stay with lynda and manny (justins parents) till he gets down then we will get an apartment. i plan on starting back to school this fall and ive decided i want to be an ultrasound technician. i cant wait to move i feel like our life will finally be better and complete. so exciting!!!

First zoo trip!

Michael and I went to the zoo for the first time last Saturday. He had a blast and so did I. I love zoo's and can't wait to take him back! He really loved the chimps and meerkats. There were two baby twin chimps that were just about his age and he got such a kick out of them, it was so cute to watch. We also pet a real live rhino!! Heres some pictures :)

scariest moment ever!

i was changing michael this morning and he was squirming everywhere, which he does so often now. well his hutch on top of this changing table has no way of being secured down. we never thought of this as a problem before because it was back up to a wall and couldnt go anywhere. well now it can! michael pushed it to hard and it came crashing down on him. i thought he was gonna get smooshed. i tried to protect his head as much as possible and throw it over him. well it hit him but not hard he had a little red mark for a couple hours but thats it. hes doing fine and now we have the hutch against the wall like before. it was so scary. i was shaking. he didnt even care he just wanted his nap. i hope nothing like this ever happens again i thought i was gonna have a heart attack.
