Goodbye Wedding Dress

So I decided to go ahead and sell my wedding dress. I didn't want to preserve it and have it sit around in a closet for years, so I sold it. And I don't think, even if we have a daughter, that she'd want a 20 some odd year old dress. Besides, one of the most exciting times of planning the wedding is picking out THE dress. Anyway, I didn't realize how hard it would be to part with MY dress...and how little I would end up getting for it.
I sold the dress for $120 on eBay (mom paid $600 for it new), which is pretty sad to begin with. I found a good sized box at Uhaul, but it turns out that big ol' box was "too big" and there was an extra charge to ship it. I expected to pay about $20 to ship it, since that's what the eBay wedding dress listing people told me. Turns out I had to pay $45 to ship it. Adding $6 for the box left me with just under $70 of profit. Sheesh. That just made it even sadder. My dress was worth way more than that in my eyes.
But goodbye my beautiful wedding dress. You served your purpose well, and I hope you make your new owner feel as beautiful as I did.

So, yesterday I was digging through my purse and came across my dad's old watch face. It's one of those digital ones. I had been throwing it in my purse whenever I switched purses, just to have it in there, because it would beep every now and then and fondly remind me of my dad.  It didn't have the right time and I didn't know how to change it, but that was okay. I pulled it out because I noticed there weren't any numbers on it.  The watch had finally died.  I'm not sure when exactly, but it had, and sometime this year for sure. Mind you that my dad passed away 9 years ago on December 22nd. I wasn't very sad when I realized the watch had stopped. I just kind of had the feeling of "aw, that's too bad."  Because I guess I realized at that moment that the watch wasn't going to keep me close to my dad.  It's just a watch. And now a dead one at that. I have been thinking about dad a lot lately, as I always do when the holidays come aro...

28 Weeks and Counting...

Hello all! Well, I'm 28 weeks along now and time has been flying!  A couple things in my life have been ending or will be ending soon. I quit my job to stay home with Bri and our new baby girl.  J has decided he'd rather me stay home and work overtime a shift or two to cover my paycheck. So here we are. It was sad to leave my kids and my friends at work, but the time for me to leave was coming soon anyway, and I was ready.  I thought I was going to be an emotional mess on my last day, which was Friday, but I did pretty well. I did cry but not too badly and I felt a peace about it all as I left.  The guy who is taking my place seems nice and like he'll fit in well. Plus, the kids like him so that makes me happy. Anyhow, my last class of my masters degree is coming up this week.  I will finally be finished! Hallelujah! It's been four years and I'm so ready. My graduation is the first week in May and my family is coming into town so that will be fun! :) Things are ...
