Oops, over a week. my bad.
Lindsey is coming this week, I'm pretty stoked. Gonna take her down to Garden of the God's to do a small shoot {{escittteeedddd}!! and Saturday night we're going to go downtown! wahooo!!!
had a good weekend at work (definitely not because I made money, because I didnt), but because I got a lot of positive feedback from the managers. Brian, thank goodness, was not working at all this weekend, so it was stress-free. Mike Martin told me I need to work more often because "I'm a good worker, and he can always count on me." which was odd because I was sure he didn't like me. and then when I was doing my check-out Elka said, "I need to tell you something." Never comforting coming from a manager. she said, "You have become an absolute JOY to work with, I actually look forward to working with you more than other servers now." Wow, wasn't expecting that from her either. It was nice getting such positive feedback, especially since I had been questioning why I was working there still with the way the employees get treated, but now I know it's all Brian. UGH.
This semester is finally over, YAY! I managed to get all B's. GO me! now I have about a week before summer classes start (shoot me now). I have a spanish class that is only 5 weeks, and 5 credits! EEEK! it's gonna be intense. Plus two other classes.
June will be busy. I'm doing senior pictures for jessica and her friend kameron. christina's wedding, and picking up an extra class. oi! but i'm excited that once I get paid from christina I can order some standout prints for Jayden's room. =]!!!!!!! I found an awesome site (WHCC) that has some great prices and products!
Jayden is big...ger.. boo. but he's also more entertaining these days. It makes me SOO sad when he knows i'm going to work and starts crying when I go to leave. breaks my heart, but it's only a couple nights a week, and a momma needs her time.
Tomorrow I'm heading down to Castle Rock to go to the outlets to hopefully return his shoes, and maybe get him some new stuff. maybe that's why i shouldn't go. haha. but I have to do that, figure out books for summer school.... write fitness 19 to cancel membership, check application status at metro... (sorry for the laundry list, otherwise I'll forget).
Ok. gonna go play with lil man while he's happy!!!!

Homesick for HOME
So I never updated on my trip to California.
We didn't really do much. Jayden was a dream on the plane both ways, he just got a little fussy towards the end, but that's probably because he got bored.
I saw my grandparents. They look so frail these days. I was scared to let my gma hold Jayden because I was scared she wouldn't be able to handle him (he is pretty "jumpy" these days). My mom and I went over there for dinner a couple nights, which was nice. I made cabbage burgers for them one night, and they seemed to really enjoy them, which made me happy.
It was really good to spend time with my mom. She's probably the person I miss the most about California.
I went up to Oceanside a couple days. Wednesday I went up to the beach and some thrifting with Emily. Then again on Thursday. We went to BJ's for lunch, then some shopping, and then got my AWESOME haircut. I got to go out with Jessica, Emily, James, and Alfie that night (and after Ryan closed BJ's he came out too). We stayed up until about 5:30 taking about the most random things. Helped me realize all that I was missing, and what I'm not missing.
Friday we went to Mission Valley and ate lunch at Ruby's, then went to my grandparents and then to the park to take some family photos. I was a littl dissapointed because everyone was late, which made lighting terrible, so the majority of my pictures have a nasty shadow on them. I got *some* good ones, but nothing I'm terribly proud of, they're just kind of bleh. But regardless I'm going to post them. =]
We went out for pizza afterwards, which was nice. Got to chit chat with the family for a bit. Jayden was a peach. =] We went home, put him to bed, and then I went out for a drink with Tom. It was good catching up, and it's kind of funny to me how little he has changed. Honestly, I'm glad that the things that happened did, I'm so much happier now than I was, or would be. I guess the grass really is greener.
On Saturday I headed home. It sucked because the whole week I was in San Diego, AJ didn't get called to work. Then, Friday night, he got called for a two day trip. Nate picked us up from the airport and took us home. AJ got home around noon on Sunday (Mother's Day), with flowers and a card (saying that when I want a massage to let him know and he'll pay for it). He took me out to dinner later that night too.
It was good to get away for a little bit, to catch up with old friends and see my family, but it was better to be home with AJ and my kitties.
