July First(s) - Sparkle

Hooray for a new month! I'm pretty excited for it. Especially because new things happen this month. For starters, it's the new fiscal year at work, so things are kinda slowing down but mostly just getting back to a normal pace again. Also, I have been slacking on ab workouts and just doing cardio. John would be sad. SO I told myself July would be when I started them up again. It's gonna suck. But that will be great haha. July is the month I start watching the Marvel movies. That will happen soon because it needs to. Hopefully, this weekend! And, thanks to Barbara Dunkelman and Meg Turney, I am going to to a July photo challenge! I don't have instagram so I think I'll just follow along on here! The list is here if you are interested.

Day 1 - Sparkle

Baby's Steps

CRISTINA HAD HER FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL (summer program) TODAY! She looked so freaking cute. And her backpack was so huge next to her! She had lots of fun, especially with her best friend Ava. They ran to each other and played :) And Eric said she seemed very happy when he picked her up. She even napped. Ugh! So proud. My baby girl. Oh my heart <3

Also THIS IS SO EXCITING AND CUTE

Baby's First Disney Movie

Reason 339: THE MONTH OF GROUNDING IS OVER. And we watched her very first movie. I thought Cristina should start with a princess movie. I offered Cinderella, but that was not on Netflix. Karla offered Sleeping Beauty, which was also not on Netflix. We eventually decided on Pocahontas. I'm pleased with this decision. It's kinda fun to think about who her favorite princess will be. And who her favorite prince will be!

Watching Karla dance with Cristina to this song made my heart soar (somewhat inside joke).

Full of Firsts

Reason 334: Hooray for restoration of faith in my customers! No creepy men today, YAAAAY! (The fact that this even needs to be celebrated...). However there was one gentleman today who stopped and talked to me. He told me he admired me because I was always smiling and positive, and he said I was really good at dealing with customers. That SERIOUSLY flattered me. Also, there was a really cute guy that came in, and he asked for my number! That's never happened! That's never flippin' happened! Never in my life! Let's be honest, I probably would've given it to him if he weren't flippin' 26. But I trusted my initial judgement and went with the "I'm 17" lie. And he was so sweet! Like he was really polite and like.. meh. Things that may never happen again, but I'm glad they happened today :)

 

At one point we must talk about the work crush. 'Caaaaause that's a thing LOL I'm a mess.

Swoozie Drew My Life

Ignition

Reason 57: FIRST GAME. I started today feeling like crap. (I'm still not over yesterday's disappointment. I dwell. It's not good.) But son, as soon as I got in that car, I felt amazing. I just needed that change of scenery. And going back into DC felt so relieving. And then the park?!? OMG. The field in person was beautiful. The crowd was so great. We lost but it was really all about the experience for me. I had a blast. I am now here, refreshed and ready to face new challenges. Emily is back, so I have company. I'm content. And can't thank my darling friends enough for being there for me.
