Friday night my mom and step-dad said they were going to come in to the new Target on 5600 west. I didn't realize it was open and I was excited so I told them I'd meet them there. They had a late start coming in, So I went to Kohl's while I waited for them to Journey down to SLC. While at Kohl's my friend Rach called and asked what I was doing. She was going to take Liam to the Taylorsville days and wanted to know if Ev and I would like to go. Which would work perfectly since my mom was bringing Ev in! I was worried about hwo long Target would take but my mom doesn't know how to read JULY 29th not JUNE 29th.. so..haha it worked out.
taylorsville days was fun! I ate some yummy funnel cake, we saw PONIES! They are SO freaking cute! Then we went to the booths.. where I found a cute shirt and hat for myself (which I was going to kick myself for buying because I NEVER wear hats) and another ruffle romper and a cute headband! In the same gray color scheme..
Then the next day we went shopping with Rach and Liam. The day had a rocky start and I seriously wanted to throw in the towel before noon. but it ended up a great day! We went to gateway mall..which is oddly deserted now thanks to city creek! but nice because there wasn't a ton of people to get around. We shopped for a bit and I ended up having to buy shorts at forever 21 for $10 because I made the mistake of wearing pants.. yeah. Thank God for cheap forever 21! then we headed of to Applebees for lunch. Our little hooligans terrorized the place! Screaming, tossing baby snacks EVERYWHERE. Ev spilled a drink.. luckily water and not a lot.. damn kids! haha I left a good tip.. Liam even climbed on the table. After that we called it quits. haha
Later that night I had a baby shower to go to for some friends of mine. They are having a little girl! So of course I bought a freaking cute cupcake outfit for them! I had one similar for Ev just in pastel colors. Too bad Ev is too big for this stuff! I miss having a newborn sometimes :(
the shower was fun, I saw people I haven''t seen in a LONG, LONG time! Ev loved them all! It's so nice to be around old friends! I didn't realize how much I missed them until I saw them!
Then today we had my great grandmas 90th birthday! I didn't even know she was 90! I thought she was like..87 haha. She's in really good shape for a 90 year old lady! She lives on her own even! She does great! Ev loves her too! It was nice to see family and spend the day just hangin out and eating! haha
Then after that.. I yet again went shopping. Rach and I have been on the lookout for matching 4th of July stuff for Ev and Liam and could not find anything that we really liked that were in the right size. They had these pajamas on sale at target which are my favorite to put Ev in! They come with 2 pairs of jammies you can mix and match, So I decided to look there. No go.. but old navy was right next door and they just have the plain old flag shirts. They are a classic and CHEAP! so not only did I buy Ev and Liam shirts.. I bought Rachel and I shirts to match them! Cheesy I know! haha, But I am EXCITED!! Bring on the 4th!
but a quick little thing I wanted to talk about is.. Friday at work we have these things called "rise and shines" where the director of our department talks about stuff. Usually things we need to work on, things were doing good at, ect. This time They brought up how they want us to feel good when we leave work so we can go home to our families and be happy! They talked about how a bad day at work affects how we are to our families and that most importantly we need to appreciate our families and love them. A lady chimed in and talk about really appreciating your children. She started crying which made me cry also. I'm so overcome by real emotion especially when someone is crying over their child.It made me think of Ev and how much I love her. How much my day improves when I come home and play toys with her on the floor. How I can lay there and she has a ball climbing on me. I appreciate that little girl everyday! who else would make my day that great? No matter the stress, no matter the worry, I always have her to see me through it! Where would I be without her? WHO would I be without her? I appreciate my little lady for all that she is, all that she will be. Life is so much more with her. Everything has more meaning and more love. I feel so blessed when I think of Ev because I am blessed. No matter the pain, no matter the hurt and the struggle.. It brought me to here and I'm happy on this path. Even if its just Ev and I..because we are all we need. :)
