Lofthouse cookies!

Yesterday Spencer and I went to lunch with some friends out at the Javier's on 7th street. We were saying goodbye to Heidi and Logan and Logan and it was really sad. But, since we were out that way I figured we could try to find the Lofthouse cookie outlet that's out in BDO. After much getting lost and much whining by Spencer, we found it. It is an outlet for the whole BDO, not just Lofthouse, but we only had eyes for the cookies. There was a whole wall of them! And there were tons of different kinds. They were 1.25 each or 1 if you bought 2 or more. So we bought some blue star cookies and of course the classic pink frosting ones. Can I just say heaven? When we got home Spencer and I tried one and they are delicious! Not sure if something was wrong with them or if they just don't get sold but for a dollar I'm all over that! It's really funny now because Spencer knows where in the kitchen I put them so he constantly goes over to that counter and points up and whines. And if I carry him in the kitchen he can see them and will point to them and whine. I think I've created a cookie addict in my child.

Also, he's started getting braver with walking. He will randomly let go and start walking. I think he did his longest walk yet of 10 feet this morning. And of course he loves the claps and cheers and adoration he gets when he does it.

I've taught Spencer how to say Batman. He knows enough now that if I ask "Where's Batman?" he will just point to my shirt, because I have a lot of Batman shirts. Now, I tell him to say Batman and he says Bahmah. It's pretty darn close and I think it is the coolest thing ever that before he says anything other than mom and dad, it's Batman.

Last but not least, I have an interview next week for a school nurse position. I'm trying not to get my hopes up just because I know they want experience, but considering that it's the only phone call and interview I've gotten EVER I'm still a little excited.

Why is life so hard?

It's been 3 months now since I've graduated and 2 months since I passed my NCLEX and I still haven't found a job. It's really discouraging because everyone else I know does. It's really hard to watch the people I graduated with work as nurses on my floor when I'm still just a clerk. Seriously, I could be making twice the amount per hour. The only way I can get a job it seems is to work full time. However, that would require me get some sort of babysitter or daycare. And personally I don't feel like I want to pay anyone $60-$70 a day to watch my kid, because then I would be making less than I am as a clerk, so it wouldn't be worth it. Plus, Jacob already works full time+ so poor Spencer wouldn't have any parents.

Anyone know of any nursing jobs?

Back to School..Not!

As all the school sales start, it's starting to make me feel a bit nostalgic. I always looked forward to the back to school sales getting a new pencil box or crayons or pencils...And of course my favorite was the new clothes and shoes. I would always want to wear my new clothes right away but would have to wait til school started, and then half the excitement the night before school was me getting really excited to wear my new stuff. We would always go to VF factory and sometimes the outlets in Park City. Once I got into middle school and high school, I would get a shirt with some funny saying on it from Rue 21. Some examples were "It's only bad if you get caught" and "Whatever look you were going for, you missed!" Some of my school pictures even have these shirts in them.
It's also making me feel strange too because for the first time in 16 years I will not be going to school this fall. I'm a little sad because all my friends are going back for their bachelor's, but I really didn't feel the need to. It's going to be weird not going to school, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself! I'm already getting bored and the summer isn't even over!
Thanks for letting me go back in time and spill my thoughts. I am, however, looking forward to getting a new planner! And waiting for backpacks to go on clearance so I can get them for 72 hour kits!

Spencer Walks!

We've all been patiently waiting for our little guy to try to walk and today he finally did it! My friend (also my partner) and I were over visiting teaching at one of our sister's houses. We were just talking and all the sudden Spencer lets go of a chair he was standing at and took 3 steps and then sat down! We were all so excited that we stopped in the middle of our conversation and cheered and clapped. I was glad that someone else witnessed it so that people will believe me. Now we've been trying to get him to do it again but the most he will take is one step.

Spencer says daddy!

I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I feel like I want to make some changes to our house. Nothing big, but something like painting or organizing something differently. I've run out of things to organize because it's been done so much at my house :) Anyone have any fun, easy, cute ideas?

Hey, check out my new sewing blog! I made it because I thought it might be fun to sell the things I normally just make for gifts.
