I Promise I'm Not Dead!

Summer semester has taken over my life! Literally! While Kenzie and Jake are enjoying the pool, I am stuck inside doing hundreds and hundreds of math problems. When Jake and Kenzie are at the neighborhood cook (that happens almost everyday) I am stuck inside writing papers about A Raisin in the Sun! STUPID STUPID STUPID idea to take summer classes. I LOVE laying out at the pool during summer and hanging out with friends WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?

Now that my rant is over with I can fill you all in on life! I really don't know where to start so lets go with New Jersey.

Jersey was fun but really really cold. We had a ton of fun in New York and Jake and I decided that we need to take a long weekend and spend it in the city! So much we wanted to see that we just didn't have time for.

After Jersey school started. I had signed up for three classes and now am only down to two. Summer semester is 16 weeks worth of material compressed into eight. I had signed up for math 99 english 1102 and communications 1100. I went to all my classes for the first three weeks and then decided that I needed to drop communications. That teacher HATED me! I have no earthly idea what I did/said but from the moment she called my name that first day of class she was nothing but hateful towards me. I am working really hard to get the HOPE scholarship and if this women failed me I would not get it. She really had issues!

Matt and Stac graduated. My cuz and I have a very special bond. We have become really close over the five-six years. I am so proud of him he is going to Wake Forest. Even though WAKE is FAKE I will try not to talk badly about it because he is going there! (GO CAROLINA) My little Stacey McKenzie who is basically my sister is moving across the country to SUCKtah! (sorry to those who live and love it there im just a little bitter about her leaving) I am so proud of her as well even though she learned from the best.

Kenzie turned 2!!! Oh my gosh can I please just say I feel like I found out I was pregnant yesterday! My small little blob has turned into a dancing/sentence speaking machine! She is so so cute! We do these cute little tickle wars with her and as she is laughing she says MOMMY STOP DADDY STOP! Her party was a princess theme which fits her well because the child is the most spoiled thing I have ever seen. We rented this really cool castle bounce house and had a castle cake made for her. It was so fun and that girl got so much stuff. She got two pairs of dress up heels (You know the ones we used to play with as kids) and she LIVES in them. She also got fake lipstick/makeup set which she loves almost as much as the shoes. I told everyone to get her books because my child loves to be read too. Its so important for me to read to her because my Mom did it for us kids when we were little. Its amazing how awesome a feeling it is to be doing something for your own child that your parent did for you. I had no idea how much love my parents had for me and now I can understand it because I feel the same way for Kenzie.

4th of July was so much fun and very eventful! We had stuff to do every day and I don't think Kenzie went to bed before 11:00 any night that weekend! I am such a bedtime nazi I think the first night about about died when I realized how late it was and the next morning I had to wake her up at 6:00 to get ready for the town parade. I went into her room and she yelled at me when I turned the light on saying "NO! I SLEEPY!!" Jake and I were laughing so hard. I did get to spend all day Sunday at the pool so I was very thankful for that.

This Wednesday Jake and I are going to PANAMA CITY BEACH (florida) for our anniversary. We weren't going to do anything for it this year but we have both been so stressed with school and work I made the executive decision that this was a much much needed vacation. Sometimes I feel like we get too stressed in our own little worlds that when we are together we take it out on each other. Panama is so needed....and I think we are going parasailing! YEA!

After Panama Carrie and Larry are coming down for a few days so im really excited about that. They come after school gets out so I will be able to hang out by the pool all day with them and have a cute little three week break before fall semester starts back up again!

Ok picture time!!!!

Subway on our way to China Town!

Ferris Wheel in the Toy R Us in Times Square! Kenzie had a blast!

Matt and Stac graduated so we went to Eden! Yes....chopped more than half my hair off and decided to become a blonde again...much needed change!
Kenzie right before Daddy-Daughter pool time! I was inside writing a paper.
Jake was picture taker so he is not in any of her party pictures! I know I should have had somebody else take them....its not like there weren't three sets of grandparents there. She had an awesome outfit change TuTu and shirt were done by this lady I found on facebook and she gave me an awesome deal! Kenzie LOVES her tutu!
