4. Time with friends!
Derek has been on night float for the last two weeks, so the evenings can get pretty quiet/lonely around here once Shelby is in bed. My sweet friend Angela came over Wednesday evening to keep me company, and we ended up chit-chatting until one in the morning! Then on Thursday evening I had a phone date with my best friend from my teaching days in Virginia, Sarah. Of course, our phone calls are never short. ;) So Thursday ended up being a late night for me, too! By today, the late nights have definitely caught up with me...but it was so worth it! I am so thankful for these friends.
3. A Good Report
Since Shelby was referred for Early Intervention at her 15 month check-up with the pediatrician, we had been meeting with her "service coordinator" once a week to work on language/verbal skills and to keep an eye on the other areas of her development. After Shelby's informal evaluation back in April or May, we graduated to only meeting once a month. {You can see that post HERE.} Well, Shelby's service coordinator came for our June visit this past Wednesday, and Shelby is now at 24 months or higher in ALL areas of development! YAY! So not only are we all caught up, but we are ahead of the game! Such a wonderful feeling! We are SO proud of Shelby! While her service coordinator was here on Wednesday, Shelby randomly performed her ABC's and counted to ten. Miss Melissa quickly turned to me and said "You know an almost two year-old should not be able to do that yet, right?" :)
2. Bop's "Cupcretes"
Bop's is a local frozen custard place we have here in Biloxi that we absolutely LOVE. We went to Bop's one night this week and instead of ordering our usual concrete, we decided to try their "cupcretes," which is their rendition of an ice cream cupcake. I have only had ice cream cupcakes from Cold Stone in the past, and Bop's cupcretes TOTALLY blew them out of the water! They were seriously to die for!
1. Anniversary Date Night!
Tomorrow marks five years of marriage for us, and tomorrow also brings the end of night float for my sweet hubby--so we are CELEBRATING! Derek & I have a date night scheduled for tomorrow evening, and we are so excited! We have been looking forward to this all week long!
I am excited that I made your blog! I LOVED talking to you, too! We so need to do it more often because we could talk forever and ever! I miss you and cannot wait to see you in a month!
