It's been quite awhile. I'm sorry. Now, let's move on! Life happens, right?
We have been in Guam just under 6 months now. Nicholas is walking and talking, and has stolen my heart over and over again. We are STILL unpacking. I am convinced that it's just part of the military life to not get fully unpacked until you are about to move again.
We have made some wonderful friends. They have made life on this itty bitty island so much easier. It's great to know people that have kids around our little man's age. He loves having little playmates that he can cut loose with :)
The island is in love with him! People stop us constantly to say how cute he is, and sometimes even take pictures. (We actually had a line of Japanese tourists waiting to take a picture with our little blue-eyed, blond haired baby.) I know every parent thinks they have the cutest baby, and we are no different, but it is so funny to see the locals go nuts over him. It never occurred to me that his features would be so unusual to them.
I have recently started baking custom cakes for some new friends on the island. It started with me bragging about my success with Nicholas' birthday cake, and now I have one cake order under my belt, and another one that is sure to be a blast. It turns out that I had the perfect first client. I have people giving me heads up for orders that will be coming my way over the next couple of months, and I could not be more excited. Baking has always been fun for me. A soothing, stress reliever. So, if I can make some extra cash by playing with icing....WOO HOO!
I also have FINALLY registered for classes! I am officially a college student! School starts in a week, and I could not be more excited. I literally almost started crying when they handed me my schedule. I have waited so long to go back to school. I feel so proud of myself for not giving up. If you have been playing with the idea of going back to school...or hell, STARTING school...go for it! You won't regret it.
Well, Mommy Duties are calling to me.
TTFN.
