Well today is my last day at my old job and Monday I move over to Ruan 2 building and start my new job. My desk is all packed up and I am just passing the time. It feels weird. Almost depressing instead of exciting. I have some really close friends here that I will really miss a lot. Good thing is I can come meet them for lunch anytime, but it will still be different. Luckily another good friend of mine got one of these jobs too so I won’t be alone over there.
Tomorrow is the big JDRF crop in Ankeny. 12 hours of bliss for me and the gang. I made sure my pink croppin’ shirt was all clean and ready to go. Plus they have a shuttle to the Memory Bound store for my shopping pleasure. I may or may not have forgotten to tell John about that. LOL! Hopefully Steph and I can make it straight there without being tempted by any good garage sales. Tis’ the season.
Drake is doing well. He is funny as ever and I think everyday brings at least one new word or more. He pretty much repeats any simple word you ask him to now. Some of the recent ones are P-U from Aunt Steph and Poop from Aunt Steph. See a trend here, LOL! Also Bubbles is another recent fave. He knows where his belly and tongue are and we keep adding new things for him to learn. Steph has been working on the nose for awhile so hopefully that is another thing he will know soon. Last night daddy went to play poker so we had the night to ourselves. I was sneaking a quick peek at a magazine and then of course he wanted it. I was done so I gave in knowing that he would rip it to shreds. Instead he took it very carefully, smiled and went over and sat on the floor with it. Picked it up just like a book, turned it around so it was the right side up. And then he proceeded to carefully turn every page of it. Looking at each and every article and picture up and down. It was beyond cute and I was impressed. He never wants to sit still for anything like that. Our book time is usually me reading while he runs around and then he will occasionally come grab the book and keep running. We also finally got sand for the sand box. He loves it. He loves being in the dirt. The boy had sand in every area possible. Including under the “chins” bath night!
Well that is all for now. May be a little while before I blog again since I will be in training for 6 weeks. TTFN!
Almost forgot, sweet John surprised me with John Mayer tickets. Kind of. He planned for it to be a surprise, but the morning he needed to get tickets I would be cropping. So he told early but the intentions were great and I got sweet tickets anyway! Love him!
