A New Trip To Visit Family

I finally got Brad to come with me on a trip! We are visiting my aunt, uncle, and cousin in Ohio with my mom, sister, and grandma. It's been rather uneventful so far lol a super long car ride + Cael screaming every few hours + my sister = very irritated travelers lol

Today I believe we are going to the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky. I bet Cael will love seeing all the fishies :)

A great thing happened while we were on the road though! Brad got an email from YouTube to have a partnership with them! That means, for every view he gets on his YouTube videos, he gets a set amount of money. Plus it means ads will be put in with his videos so every time someone clicks on an ad (whether intentionally or not) he will get a share of that money as well. Every so often (I think Brad said after he accumulates $100) YouTube will give the money to him :) This is a really big deal because it means he's gaining recognition in the YouTube world. I'm very happy for him and proud of him for making such an accomplishment! I love you Brad! <3

Well I'm going ot head off here so I can wake up said loved man and shower :)

If you want to visit Brad's channel, the link is here! Or you can go to YouTube and type in "TheGoveta" and search for his channel. He has lots of videos of his competitive Pokemon battles and a playthrough of Pokemon Ash's Quest (they are super cool!). There's even a couple battles with me in them! Go check it out!

Weekend Post...The Result Of Procrastination And Forgetfulness

Cael has started so many new things, I don't even know where to begin! Of course, that's my fault for not posting as regularly as I should :/ Oh well.

To Cael, anything on the TV and anything new to Cael requires the question "Spider?" and Brad and I are not sure where this came from. We know for sure that he has seen spiders on one of the video games that Brad plays and in a book of "action songs" which has the Itsy Bitsy Spider in it, but we have no idea why he insists on asking if new things are spiders. It's pretty funny though! And he says "No" all the time now. If I ask him for a bite of food, he hands it to me then snatches it back and says "No!" with that goofy smile of his. And if he doesn't want something, he says "no" instead of screaming his displeasure. I have to say, I prefer no over screaming lol

Well, Brad has finally done the impossible... He convinced me to get my own Runescape account. And I'm not doing to bad with it, surprisingly. I've got level 20 in my attack, strength, and defense skills (which is pretty good considering how quickly I got it). I just really like fishing and slaying :P

Brad has a couple of friends over tonight so I'm going to watch them play Little Big Planet :)

Goodbyes Are The Hardest

Well, one of my favorite little girls from daycare is moving away to Rhode Island. Today was her last day with us :( It was so sad, she gave me a hug goodbye and she looked up at me with her big, cute smile and says "I love you!"

I hugged her again and had to leave the room before I started bawling... I cleaned the room to distract myself and said goodbye again when she, her mom, and her older sister left.

I don't know how I'll make it through the weekend now. Cael's not coming back until Sunday and I might not ever see Abigail again :( I'll miss that sweet little girl.

On the plus side, we have a new friend in our room :) She's very adorable and amazingly well-behaved for a two year old! And she is beautiful. Like the kind of beautiful that makes you do a double-take and stare lol her mother is the same way.

Hopefully, if I don't act like a vegetable tomorrow, I can get all my cleaning done in less than 24 hours :) I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also planning on rearranging some furniture and organizing the things that need it. Luckily, we don't have to worry about packing up again. Brad and I had talked about finding a new place (duplex or house) so we don't have to deal with loud neighbors any more, but we couldn't find a good one in our price range. I don't mind staying in our four-plex for another year. It's in a nice neighborhood and the only really bad thing about it (besides one of our neighbors) is the train that passes right next to the building.

Well, I'm going to get off so I can read my Nook :)

The First Time Is The Hardest...

Well, just as planned, Cael is spending a weekend at my mom's house with my family...and without me :( I'm not gonna lie, I cried last night when we went to bed, today when I packed his bag on my lunch break, and 5 minutes after we left Columbia... I think I'll feel better tomorrow though. It's kind of like that homesickness thing when you're at summer camp. You cry the first night, but after that you're too busy to notice you miss home. I have plans for the whole weekend. I'm going to clean like crazy and go shopping. I'll go swimming, go on walks, and rearrange furniture in the house. I'm not going to give myself time to worry about it or be sad that I can't hug and kiss Cael whenever I want to.
I can do this...just give me a night to get the crying out of the way, and I'll bounce back tomorrow
