i've been thinking a lot about what my next steps in life are going to be. i know i want to go back to school to become an interior designer. that part i know for sure. i know that within the next year or so i want robbie and i to get married and try for another baby. yes. i said it. but that is only after we get married and after robbie graduates from school.
we are moving in april. into another apartments, not sure which ones yet. we were going to buy a house but we decided that for right now, it's too much for us right now. with the time frame that we are in. we do however need a bigger place. i don't care what floor or how big the kitchen is (i've been trained to work in 2 feet of space. teehee). what i mean by space, is i want lia to be able to run around without the "no nos" everywhere. i feel like the smaller the space, the more there are. we have had all of lia's toys in our living room and we only were in her room to get dressed and to sleep but today i moved all of her toys in there. now it doubles as her bedroom and her playroom. i have to say, all though her room is pretty crouded, lia loves it. once i put her princess tent, her princess chair, tv, and all her toys, she was like a wild woman. getting everything out and dancing and playing. i love that it's all behind closed doors and we don't have to stare at all of it all day. we have our spotless living room back, just like the old days when lia would just lie there and not roll around or move anywhere. i hope we find a place with a balcony. ugh. i would love that!! i wanted that with the apts we have now, but they gave us a top floor that didn't have one unfortunately. i really want to grow my own herbs and be able to get fresh air without the whole complex staring at me. haha if you get what i'm saying. if i could be honest, i don't care where we live as long as it's safe. i feel safe in the ones that we're in now, but we just can't stay here. it's way too cramped for us. our second bathroom isn't even used. it's another closet for us. that means time to get out.

bedroom and playroom in one.

i gotta tell ya, we'll be moving in the beginning of april and then we are going to haul booty to get everything done before we go to hawaii on april 30th. i swear, nothing would be worse than to come back from hawaii and have to clean or unpack boxes. it'll be a nice rest after a stressful move, i think so anyways.
oh i have fabulous news. i am throwing my gorgeous friend hailee a baby shower. she is due in august. oh i can't wait!!! i was the first person she told when she found out and i beat everyone to the punch by throwing her a baby shower before anyone else could claim it!! i have a feeling it will be even more darling than lia's birthday party, which was seriously too cute. (i still need to get those pictures, to show everyone) i'm going to do her's as a farmhouse style brunch. lots of vintage touches... super yummy foods and games. who doesn't like brunch?! hello...everyone loves it. i have so many fun ideas. i am beyond excited to do this for her. she just started showing and i gotta say, she makes me miss being pregnant. so i'm so lucky i get my juice from her ;) love you hai!! :)

this is my inspiration for her party ;)

lia is little miss thang. she has now officially became a diva. she is obsessed with being the center of attention. she even loves to jam out, arms and all to Madonna. she has a fake laugh, which she believes is real. hahaha it's so forced. so much so, that her hands tense up like an old man with arthritis! seriously... it's hilarious. she gives kisses more than ever. she knows that every time i pick her up, i expect a kiss. she gives more loves and hugs too. kisses on my cheek during snuggle time. oh you better believe i'm soaking every bit of that in.

she holds my hand.

i get my smooches.

she's too adorable. her cuteness is just too much sometimes.
