Crazy but nearly perfect!

Things have been a bit hectic lately, to say the least! I started a second job a few weeks ago to get some extra money to pay off some debt and to make some home improvements! So far so good, I am enjoying the job a lot…it’s outside and I have an incredible view as it is at Garden of the Gods, so I can’t really complain! I don’t know how quickly I am going to get burnt out on working 7 days a week, but my focus is on that money! D lost his job a few weeks ago, which was good and bad timing as I started my second job, so I was bummed thinking that extra money would go to supplement his loss, but he got approved for unemployment, and that helped out tremendously!  I am back to original plan with this money! I am getting anxious to finally finish my front yard! When I bought the house, the front yard was ransacked and all of the landscaping destroyed! I think that helped with the fact that I was able to get the house because of the fact it was much cheaper….but I am finally going to be able to get the front lawn done and landscaped this summer, so stoked! I am so happy with the random improvements I am making around the house with the help of my awesome mother. My bedroom is nearly complete as I have a new bathroom vanity, new bed set, nice TV, and blinds. I just need to paint and finish up my dressers and it will be perfect! Not only that, but we have the office painted and redecorated, and the upstairs living room looks amazing with the new rug and lamp. I had the unbelievable luck to have won a contest that gave me some great Target gift cards that helped me get a really terrific patio set that I am in love with! I have some great plans for the media room and the laundry room that I hope to tackle this summer as well. Should be fun!

Nothing new on the baby front….got my dr appt scheduled for June 10th and will get a prescription for the meds and hopefully try in July. But we will see. Hard not to get excited, but also don’t want to put the cart before the horse. Taking it one day at a time, but being well prepared can’t hurt! Feeling excited and hopeful for the future. Things with D and his amazing daughter A are going so well! I love that little girl, she warms my heart and brings a smile to my face! I am smitten! It is seriously remarkable how much can change in a year! I remember this time last year struggling with the fact that I was actually divorced. And now, I cannot imagine my life any other way….I am beyond happy and so thankful that I am out of all of that and see now that life is much better this way!
