Happy 23rd to Me!

I'm getting to this a bit late, but the 18th was my birthday and I thought I'd get on here and let you all know! Yeah yeah, big deal, it's just another birthday, but I love birthdays and I always have. We didn't do much but what we did do was have some fun. We usually just go out for dinner or go to a movie when birthdays and anniversaries come up, but I'm getting a little tired of the same old routine, so I asked if we could go bowling this year instead. I am sure glad I did. My sister-in-law (whose name is also Melissa, though she goes by Missy) shares my birthday with me, so I invited her and her husband to come along with us. I really wanted to take the camera so we could have some pictures of me making a fool of myself and asked Jeff to grab it for me. He put it in the diaper bag and when we dropped the boys off at grandma's house, it never got taken out of said diaper bag, so unfortunatly, once again, I have no pictures to share with you. I know, I'm sad too.

As for a family update, Jeff has now finally started school up again and already has an appointment to take his nursing entrance exam in November(yay!). I'm am so proud of him and all that he does for us so that we can have a better life. He is a wonderful man and I thank the Lord for him everyday. Jackson is as 2 as ever, but he is definaly improving. Owen is now 6 months old and as fat and jolly as ever, although ever since Labor Day he's been acting a little attention deprived. I think he was a little too spoiled by nanny and his aunts and uncle. So far he's not really interested in any baby food but will happily chew on a Ritz cracker or some mashed potatoes. He's now got 2 pretty white teeth and his top teeth are about to come through any day now. As for me, I'm looking for any babysitting jobs I can get in hopes of helping out a bit once Jeff gets into the nursing program. Money will be tight, so any little extra bit we can get right now helps. Anyways, Owen is feeling neglected, so I better get off here and give him some love. Till next time.
