{inspiration: february}

nature is giving signs of spring through sunshine and sweet breezes...spring is almost here. i can feel it.

this winter had brought so much joy, but it also brought an eager anticipation of what this spring will bring.

 i am excited that Brandon is making progress with school. i know he works hard in school and always tries his best at work. regardless of how tired he is coming home late from work, he still helps with taking care of Mae so I can get a break. this month he'll be done with his first semester at sjvc. hip hip hooray for daddy!!!

in two weeks, we'll be moving to our new place. we're happy with an apartment for now. despite the small income that we have coming in each month, I think the only way we can make it once we're on our own is by being frugal. thank goodness to coupon invention! i know things will work out as long as we pay our tithing.

yesterday was Mae's blessing day. She had on a cute, white dress i bought from Gap (the most adorable dress ever-on her!) Brandon did a wonderful job blessing her. Only most sweet words were mentioned and she deserves every word of it.  i'm glad he didn't take Andrew's advise...he wants Brandon to bless Mae so that she can grow up to be a pro-skater. [laugh out loud] On the other hand, I was thinking maybe Brandon should bless Mae so that she'll grow up to look semi-cute like her mommy!? ;D i figure i better not tell him to-it's a bit too extreme.

anyway, valentine's day is this coming Monday. i'm not going to ask Brandon what he's doing 'for me' for valentine's day because he doesn't know. actually all i want is to get a straight 8 hour sleep.

February is beautiful thus far...
