Last night Mercedes and I had a girls night with my mother-in-law Tammy and sister-in-law Hannah. We went to the mall, got dinner and then found the most fantastic deals at Downeast Basics. With it being 6 weeks since I gave birth, my body is in that really weird in-between stage where my maternity clothes are getting too big but my other regular clothes are just a little snug. I've been frustrated with shirts especially. Well at Downeast Basics I bought 5 shirts, 1 undershirt, 1 skirt and 1 dress all for a total of $31.00! I was so so pleased!! You know, I love saving money and often times have a hard time spending it but sometimes you just have to go shopping and when it's a successful trip it sure feels great!
On a different note, last Wednesday when Taylor left for work he came back inside a couple of minutes later and said "Our car got broken into." I said, "WHAT!?" and he said "Yeah the passenger window is bashed in..." He then said that the only things that were missing from the car were some computer memory things (I obviously don't speak technology). Then while he was sitting on the couch talking to our insurance he suddenly went white and realized he'd left his school backpack inside the car the night before. His backpack consisted of a couple of expensive textbooks, half a semester of homework, priceless notes and... his wallet. We quickly pulled up our accounts online and the people took all our money! We were freaking out and calling Chase trying to get the cards closed and talk to the fraud department. They somehow figured out the pin number and reaked havoc on our accounts. To make a long story short, we got the window fixed that day, we have spent a lot of time on the phone with the bank and with insurance and the police. Luckily the Fraud department will refund us the money but as far as the police are concerned they haven't given us any news. Seriously, what is the world coming to?? I just don't get it.
So I absolutely love being a mom. It's what I always wanted to be when I "grew up" and it's even better than I imagined. Mercedes brings so much joy and happiness (and laughs) to our home and it's just great.
Well I think that's it for night but I'll try and post again soon, hopefully with some more pictures. :) Bye!
Yes you heard me correctly. Our sweet little baby is 2 MONTHS OLD today. Although it does seem like she's been with us much much longer, I still can't believe it. She's a very happy baby and always seems like she's just dying to talk to us. She's always cracking us up with her funny little facial expressions whether she knows she's making them or not. We love her more than words can describe! Happy 2 month birthday Mercedes!
