Updates....

So, it's been a long time since I actually posted updates. I suppose I should start with my apartment. Things are still going great, no real complains about the apartment itself, but the landlord and the other tenants are another story. The first few months here we were lucky enough not to have anyone living above us. It was nice, all we had to worry about was being quiet enough not to bother our neighbors downstairs. However, that changed in January when they moved in. Turns out, they are a young couple who like to throw parties at least four times a week and like to vacuum promptly after each part at 2 in the morning. If that doesn't cue us that they are home then the stomping up the stairs does. It almost sounds as if a pack of wild Clydesdale Horses are walking up the stairs. Not to mention they enjoy keeping the window in the hallway open during the middle of winter. Or when they smoke int he hallway instead of walking the ten extra feet down the stairs outside. Oh, and so many more things are wrong, but I think I'll just end it there.

In happier news, I have updates of my gorgeous nephew. He's doing absolutely wonderful. The last I heard he was up to 16 pounds and is starting to get his first tooth. My sister-in-law Stacey said she found his first little tooth poking through. Good news is that it's not really bothering him... yet. Right now he's just sticking whatever he can in his mouth, including my fingers as well as his own, and insane amounts of drool.

In this pictures he's working on the crawling thing, but  mostly he's just pushing himself along in a sliding motion. But he's working on it.

He's playing in his exersaucer, really enjoying the sounds and reaching out for things. And not to mention sticking a few of the items in his mouth.

In other news, my brother and his wife are finally having their first child after almost 11 years of marriage. I am extremely excited about that one. They found out the gender a few days ago, a baby girl is on the way and her name will be Hayden Elaine Graves. Elaine after my grandmother and it happens to be my mother's middle name. We are taking a trip to Wyoming at the end of June for the birth. I've already bought her cute clothes, and things to romp around in. I wanna make her a blanket. You know, something I can add on to every year, but my brother said that a bunch of the older ladies he works with are going to be making blankets for her. So, who knows what I'll do about that. I think of something. 

I ended my last semester with an A in Psychology, a B+ in History, and a B in English. But then again, my English teacher was lazy and taught us nothing, it even took her a few months to grade our works. I'm fairly certain she left a few things ungraded. I'm in my second semester of college and it appears to be going somewhat okay. My history professor is nice enough but he tends to ramble and I'm not really learning much of anything. We just had our first exam on Tuesday and I'm hoping I did okay. I wish we had some sort of homework to counter anything I might get on a test, but sadly we don't. Three exams for this class and that's what our entire grade is based on. I hope I"ll do okay, but again, we shall see. English is going good. I'm actually learning a lot in that class and slowly writing better. I'll get there eventually. Our first test was yesterday that I think I did okay on. Plus, we had our first journal check of the semester and I got a 100% on it. Which makes me happy. I got an A on one of my papers and a B+ on the one before that.

I think that's all for now. I'll try to post more often and stay more updated. Maybe next time I'll have pictures of the apartment after being painted. I am so tired of having staring at white walls.
