Catch Up




Well, since Oscar doesn't have access to the internet readily, I have the exstatic pleasure of updating our blog. (just now figured out how to do this) So to catch up on the last 2 months:
*December we had a wonderful Christmas. AdaBelle got lots of toys, a bean bag chair, tons of movies, and clothes. And little Ocho got lots of clothes, afterall, he is a baby. We spent Christmas Eve at the DeVaux's with Pam, Micha, and Madison and Christmas Day evening with the Floyd's, Bell's, McIntosh's, Cruz Collodo's, Weatherford's, McNearney's, and McFadden's.
Oscar was jobless from December 26th until January 14th.
I found out in December that I was eligeable for graduation with an AA degree. Doesn't do anything, but still feels good to have graduated with it.
*January 14th Oscar was hired as assistant manager at Arby's (WOOOHOOO!!) and seems to love it! We celebrated our 4 year anniversary on the 30th and stayed home to watch Music and Lyrics. My parents watched the kids.
*February 3rd we blessed baby Oscar and had a huge blessing circle: Oscar, Pap (my dad), Grandpa (oscar's dad), Grand Dad (my grandpa), Everette (our good friend), Joe (our good friend), Dane (my brother), and the bishopric. and February 4th Oscar got his first paycheck, (even bigger WHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!).
I will celebrate my 24th birthday on the 20th of this month and hopefully will be able to have a family get together. (yes, I like presents!)

So that's some catch up for the past couple months, maybe I'll get better at this posting thing!

Love everyone!

Every Woman

ANGELOU'S BEST POEM EVER

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a youth she's content to leave behind....


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...


A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect..but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...
