Day 1: New beginings

A new year brings new beginings.

 Today we moved out of my parents back room and into our new apt. 2017 was a wild ride and now there's so many unknowns, but we will prevail with God on our side! We start 2018 fresh with now two little ones and a year full of possibilities

Day 48: Rain Fall

Today was the first rain fall of Autumn! I am very happy.

 I love the sound rain on the rooftops and the smell of wet pavement. 

They say there might be thunder, I say, "Bring it on!"

Day 47: The Dinner Party

Had a lovely time with lovely people. I don't usually come out of my cave, but I was glad I did this time. Good company and good food makes for a happy Natalie.

As always,

Day 46: Ruffled

Yeah, you're probably tired of pictures of the sewing stuff, but I have class, what else am I supposed to take pictures of? Today's task was pretty difficult. We had to do 2-1 ruffles and 3-1 ruffles. It took the whole class to do and I didn't even get to finish :(. Maybe next time.

Day 45: He used the stars to guide his way

Finally got my hot drink for Stargazing!

We had this whole plan for a day hike and picnic, but we ended up being too lazy to do any of it. At the end of the day we didn't want to have stayed at home on a "holiday," so we decided to see the stars. I gotta tell ya, I definitely feel the seasons changing. We gotta remember to come better prepared for the cold next time... 10 layers ought to do it.

Day 44: Aisles of Smiles

Maybe it's because I don't like crowds or long lines, but I really enjoy going to the 24 hr. Walmart. I made a calendar plan of meals for the week and we bought meats and produce accordingly. By the end of our shopping excursion we were pretty knackered.

Day 43: Isn't She Lovely?

Spent the day at the mall with my lovely cousin Claudia. She's a freshmen in high-school now, which just makes me feel old. It was nice walking around and talking about days past. It's crazy how many things she remembers from when she was little, things that seemed so trivial but became memories that she cherished. I'm glad I could be part of her happy memories as a child, and I hope I can continue to make happy memories with her as she continues to grow.
