fresh starts.

Well, March is starting to wrap up here. I feel like all the crazy business is starting to slow down. We are taking Granny to the airport today. It's really sad for everyone. It's so nice to have her here, and Aurora loves her so much. It just sticks that we can't live closer. Honestly, I don't think we would be happy back in Pittsburgh. I miss our families so much, but we love it here so much. It's so difficult.

With all the events and visits coming to a close here pretty soon I just keep thinking of a fresh start. I think in life you can hit the "freshen" button as many times as you need too to get going again. This past quarter has been going very poorly in my classes, well, my math class. I can only hope that I get through it. I did pretty well in my Photography class and I feel like I learned a lot in it. Math has always been my downfall. This exact class is one of the main reasons I never finished college the first time around. I'm crossing my fingers for a C at this point.

I'll have finished a year of college after these classes are done and I can't believe it. I can't give up now, I've been doing so well. I cut down to part time due to the baby being on the way. I think it really is for the best. It might take me longer, but that's okay. Classes stress me out enough and I have so many things I want to focus my time on now it's hard to juggle. I hope I can still manage with the new baby.

My Fresh Start list:
- Take special time with my family.
- Enjoy the one on one time with Aurora.
- Prepare for a new little arrival.
- Maintain a B average in my classes.
{only if I am successful at the previous 4}
- Start an Etsy shop.
- Be involved in more art events (but only when I can.)


I don't want to give up on my little Etsy journey, I feel like I have a lot of pressure in my life and maybe the timing isn't perfect, but I've been waiting too long to do this to stop now. It's been my goal, and it's really what I want to do. I'm not giving up.

Here's hoping!

P.S. I totally screwed up my appointment date and we find out TONIGHT if we are having a boy or a girl. I blame the pregnancy on my total lack of brain function!

Valentine's Day Lunch @ In Pockets

WARNING: Photo Overload!


Yesturday we celebrated Valentine's Day together. Marc's office used to be in Historic Downtown Chandler. He used to eat lunch at this little place called In Pockets all the time, and I was super jealous, because he always raved about how good it was! Since we went there I have to tell you, it really is amazing! It's kind of has a bistro feel to it. They make great sandwhich and salads. They also do wedding pastries. It was sooo yummy!!!!!

After lunch I had to do some portait photos for my photography class, and of course who did I call on? My adorable family!
