My Niece

My niece is getting so big, and cuter than ever. She says and does the funniest things. It seems like just yesterday that she was born and she is already a year and a half old! She still babbles, but she can say a lot of different words now. She actually called me a big baby today! It was one of the funniest things ever, even though she was just repeating what I said. When she was still a little baby, I always wondered what her voice would sound like and how she would pronounce different things. Most kids have certain words that they say in a really cute way, and she has quite a few of them. It’s amazing how soothing kids can be. When I’m in a bad mood or sad about something, seeing her it makes all of the frustration go away. Who needs a therapist when they have kids around! She is my first niece, so I will probably always spoil her the most. I am ready to have more nieces or nephews, but I am going to try my best to put off having one of my own for quite a long time. I will stick to hanging out with my niece and enjoying her for now.  

Back to Work

Well, it’s time for me to get back to work after a few months off. I really do not want to get back into the workforce, but I don’t like being broke. I applied to a few different places, so I’m hoping to hear back from one of them soon. It’s so weird because I have been working since I was fifteen, and I got so used to always working and going to school. Now that I decided to take a few months off and haven’t had to do anything besides go to school, work is the last thing I want to do. I have actually been able to go out and do things whenever I want without having to plan around work. But, that is life for you, and it’s something I will have to do the rest of my life so I better get used to it! I just really hope that I don’t go back to working every single weekend. I’ve been spoiled and have gotten to go out every weekend. I am also going to miss sleeping in on the days I don’t have school. But, in spite of all the negatives I will have plenty of money once again!!

End of October

This weekend was a pretty good one. It was definitely a good way to end October. I went to two bon fires, and that is one of my favorite things to do. I hate having my hair smell like smoke for a few days afterwards though.  Saturday was definitely an eventful night. I did not even get home until almost six Sunday morning. I had a lot of fun and even managed to get up early Sunday morning. I hate sleeping my Sundays away. Anyway, I am pleased with how October ended and can’t wait for the rest of November. Next weekend I have a surprise birthday party to go to and the weekend after, I’ll be going to U of I to stay with a friend. My favorite part of November is definitely Thanksgiving though. The past few years haven’t been that great cause I had to work on Thanksgiving. My family always gets together and has a huge meal. There is always tons of delicious food and getting to see all my aunts, uncles, and cousins is a good time. It is always so nice and toasty warm in my grandparents’ house and the smell of all the food is wonderful at Thanksgiving. I am very much looking forward to Novemeber.
