So another week has come and gone. We are having the best time getting to know Evelyn. She has already changed so much since we have gotten here. She is getting to be so cute and personality is developing fast. To say that Steve and I are smitten is the understatement of the year. She is cooing and smiling all the time and she just loves to be walked and patted and held while she sleeps. (Yes Debby, no matter how hard I try not to, I'm spoiling her ROTTEN!!, and I'm loving it.)
Steve and I went to the campground we were supposed to be staying at for the month and picked up our deposit. While we were out that way we stopped to take a few pictures of the underpass we drove the RV through. Well, I thought it was bad from my seat in the RV, but seeing it from the car and the street, oh it looked even worse. This thing must have been so tight. Steve and I talked about it, if we'd gotten stuck we would have had to knock out a window and climb down to get help. Wait till you see the photos. God drives along side Steve often and I am so thankful for that, because I'm not much help. I just hide my eyes till we are through.
Yesterday I had such a nice surprise. I "wanted" to go see the Star Wars movie. I know, it has been out since BEFORE Christmas and I still haven't seen it. We were so busy before the holidays, then we were getting things settled so that we could make the trip to California, anyway we just didn't get around to going. Well so I was thinking it would be a nice thing to do on my birthday. We figured that Courtney needed a break from us anyway, but don't you know Steve kept putting me off. I was a bit perturbed when he announced he didn't want to go, we could go on Monday. Monday would be so much better he insisted. I wasn't convinced, but hell that means I get to go see Evelyn. So I'm good!!! Little did I know there were schemes being played out. Curtis and Courtney ordered a cake and got a gift card for the movies for me. That was just the sweetest thing. Courtney made authentic tacos for dinner. They were so different than anything I've had and they were so darn good, then they brought out a Tinkerbell cake with candles and the whole deal. Honestly I was hoping my birthday went by with little fuss and no notice. Never in my wildest imaginings did I think about being 55, but heck life is good, I have wonderful family, wonderful friends, and a husband that is second to none. So I guess God is traveling right beside me too.
Did I mention that Courtney and I made a tutu for Evelyn. I didn't think so. We sure as heck did and it was fun. We got glitter ALL over the living room. Steve was having a panic because before we were done we had glitter all over the baby too. He acts like that's a bad thing. She has just had her iniation into the girly girl club. Glitter should be worn proudly, and often. I don't think Curtis was in the door more then two minutes before he wanted to know where all the glitter came from and we had wiped things down vacuumed and dusted after we were done. Lesson learned maybe don't get the glitter tulle next time, oh who am I kidding, these guys just need to learn to live with glitter.
