Hey Everybody, I know it's a little late, but welcome to the year of 2011 in my blogging! It has been a crazy fast few months since I last wrote you last year. I don't really have that much to share as of yet for this year, but I'll share what I do have/know.. The first thing that comes to mind though is the birth of my newest God given nephew, Wesley. He was born to my very dear friends, Austin and Amy, on December 21st 2010, at 7lbs, 11 Oz.. I know I'm probably biased, but he is the BEST, and my most favoritest baby EVER!! :) It's so hard not to love him so so very much, or smile every time I look at him. I am so completely honored and blessed to be his Aunt Dooley, "Lovin'!" is for life little man! Mini *Pounds* and ~Swiggles!~ to you!!❤
This year in February, I turned 25 years old. It was my best birthday to date, besides being born of course. :) I had a bowling party that was a lot of fun, and for the first time ever, everyone that was invited who confirmed showed up, so, that in itself made the day extra special. I also got just what I asked for, and that was that all my gifts be from the heart, and I loved them all! I have reminders of that great day all around me in my house now, everywhere I look, so that always brings a smile to my face. As of today, (a month and two days later from my party), I even still have my helium balloons and flowers that were given to me, that's priceless! :) The greatest gift though was something that probably only makes sense between me and one other person. This year was the first birthday my forever best and favoritest friend, Austin and I, were actually able to celebrate/share together in the same room, and in person, for what has almost been in the last 8 years of knowing each other. Due to life's circumstances, we have always only been able to celebrate it together from afar, by sending cards and gifts, so that is why it will forever be land marked into the very vaults of my heart. He will forever and always be my true guardian angel and everyday hero, with such love to you buddy!! ❤
Now here we are in the third week of March, and there are only a few events that really stick out to me out so far. First is the fact that I'm looking into going back to school, for once, that's very self explanatory and to the point. Next was the return of my boys, the Black Apples, to town for their spring tour on March 5th. :)!!! This year was also actually in celebration of their first record, which is and was AWESOME!! Ziggy and I are so very proud of our boys!! :) While at this year's show, the other band performing was the Wire Faces, who also lived near the boys and I during our "Summer of Love," as Ian called it, so the whole thing was like one very awesome old "purple house block" family reunion! It was so fun! I took charge and enjoyed and was very honored to be both bands' Merch girl. I loved every minute of it, and getting the shout outs during their performances. I never knew just how much they cared about and or valued me. It meant the world to know just how much, more than they'll all ever know. ❤ In the end, a dream came true, and I got a signed copy of the record from the boys!:) I so LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, it's so giftedly awesome and fabulous!!! I'm so not even kidding, if you ever get the chance, go to oragamivinyl.com and buy one!!
On March 10th, my good friends Christina, Joy, and I went and saw Christian comedian Chonda Pierce perform, and it was a great, fun, and very hilarious time!! :) If you also ever get the chance to check her out/look her up, I highly recommend it!! :)
Last but not least, with the help of Disabled Resource Services, and my dear friend Christina, as of Monday, I now have a new power wheelchair to help me get around town for distances, and short errands, I'm so excited!!.. I just have to get used to the thing since the joystick control is super touchy, but I hope to master it very soon!! It has been dubbed Grease Lightning by my best friend Kendrie, and so now all I need is a helmet with flames on the sides, some ski goggles, and I'm ready to buckle up out of the atmosphere... Vegas here I come!! JK!!... Or am I?! lol. Weee!!! :)
