July Family Update

To start this one off I’d like to say Graysen is doing a 100% better. I got her home and after her nap her fever was non-existent, but then it came back that night but not nearly as high. For about three days it was on and off from 101 to normal. Still not sure if it was teeth, or a possible virus like the doctors thought it was. I just know she is doing better and that’s all that matters!!

Graysen is now a pro at getting into everything!! The other morning I heard a loud noise in the kitchen, and then I hear “Momma me hunry (hungry) Help pease (please)! I go into the kitchen and she has learned how to open the fridge and get things out. So she had taken the sour cream out and set it on the table then went to grab “daddy’s juice”, as she proceeds to tell me “Uh-o momma, daddy juice..Dadda, dadda, daddddda!!” haha! That’s beer for those of you who don’t know what Momma’s and Dadda’s “juice” is! She really likes to “show” you her emotions now. She will tell you Happy! And start laughing, then she will say Sad and pout her face, and then mad is her favorite, she will cross her arms and look down and look at you with a very dirty look! She practices the mad look in the mirror every day! She loves to get ready with me in the morning, she stands on the toilet seat and wants to brush her teeth and hair when I do, and then she lifts her arms up for deodorant, and she will sit as still as possible for you to put “make up” on her! She is such a joy, just keeps getting better!

As for me, I’m working on looking into different colleges. There is one college that I was very interested in but didn’t look into it much because it was a bachelor program and I wanted to get done with school before there was a chance of us leaving or before Brandon got put on a ship. Although at this rate, I’m going to have to suck it up, the chance of us staying here is very high, so we’ll just having to figure out things when the time comes about him being on a ship and me being full time in school. Right now I will just keep working on getting classes done that I know will benefit me in one way or another. I decided to continue into the fall full time. It’s going to be tough, but I need to do it and get as many classes I can done, it will only help! So for right now, one step at a time!

This weekend I went to Myrtle Beach SC with a friend. It wasn’t a leisure trip but it was still fun and relaxing. One thing I have missed about living off of an island is the ability to just drive… travel even if it’s a shorter distance it’s nice to get away from your home! Our 4^th of July was nothing special, but it was very relaxing. Brandon and I just hung out on the couch all day! Graysen laid with me and watched movies, and then would play and entertain herself (that hardly ever happens!) and it was very NICE. We had a bbq that night, and I’m very glad that we didn’t make plans to go out because it rained all evening!

Well, that is our little beginning of July update! Thanks for keeping up!
