Working Title: Pettiness is a Disease, so Go Get Checked!

I haven't really been posting much on here because people like to take what I say/don't say and twist it suit their own purposes. I find it a little amusing really because instead of said people coming to me, as an adult they go run to my father and try to start mess and rumors; or they try to drag my cousins into shit. Its really quite ridiculous, and childish and pointless. Grow up. Move on. I've always found it so...annoying that so many people in my "family" have nothing better to do with their lives than to talk much shit about me and my family. It always comes back to our ears, from the comments about my brother's sexuality, to the comments made about me, to the way they talk about my father and mother. It always comes to light, everything always does.

Moving on to more positive items. This class has proven to be a huge insight into the mind of the two year old. We are working on a group project which is actually kinda fun, if not tricky to be doing online. My teacher has also been extremely instrumental in giving me some ideas to help Ez with his cognitive development.

Thanksgiving was pretty awesome. I spent to the front half of the day with my family before I went over to the in-laws homes. I had a lot of fun with Sr. and his wife A, she is such a sweetheart. Then we went over to Miss Liz's house and the bulk of the cousins were there just hanging out watching football and eating pie. It really was a blessed day. I'm so blessed that God has added onto my chosen family. We will probably be spending part of Christmas with them as well. I don't really mind because they always make me feel like a part of the family. They are just cool ass people.

I went to a fashion show with my cool aunt and my cousins. It was super freaking fun. It was the first time in awhile that I've been away from ezra for a few hours. Some of the outfits I was like noooooo, but then they had some things that were just beautiful. Beyond beautiful and regal, just wow. It was fun to hang out with my cousins though. We've all been so busy with our families and school that it was nice to just BREATHE and laugh and relax. I never realize how much I miss them until I see them. And have I mentioned my cousin has a beautiful smile? Honestly, I love this girl so much she has helped me to grow and mature. I spent some time with my other fave this past weekend too. I feel like the boys are all growing so damn fast. C2 is as tall as me and he's only 12!?! Like stop growing dammit lol I love going over there and seeing my extended family. We watched this hilarious movie and made dinner together and chased kids all over the house. It was so nice.

I took shorty to see the Xmas lights last night. I love seeing his face, he gets so excited and squeals. It was pretty awesome seeing three generations doing something, my dad started when we were kids. Its the little things that form traditions. I can't imagine not doing this every year. I go several times, with my folks, my STL cousins, my Phx cousins, and this year I'm trying to get babe to go. They have a really cool star wars house that is friggin awesome. People were humming the death star theme song as they walked past haha Nerds are us!

Babe keeps asking what I want to do for my birthday but I have no clue. I know this birthday will be hard for my family because it is the one year anniversary of my grampas death. But I refuse to be sad on my birthday. I know we will do cake and ice cream with my cousins/aunt after church that Sunday. Chan, Eden and Jo will probably take me out to dinner that weekend too. But I think I just want to spend some time with him, maybe watch a movie(star wars) and go to dinner or take the baby to the mountain. I really don't care as long as I'm with the ones I love. That's all that really matters.

In the next few weeks I'm going to be working on my end of the year post. 2015 has been a year for growth, removal and progress. I'm so excited about it. I know that 2016 is going to be ever more awesome. AWESOME!!!!
