Back to School!

Back to school for Baby Mitchell tomorrow. Well actually he isn't a baby anymore! I can't believe that he will be a senior this year! Time flies. I will post pictures tomorrow from the first day!!

On another note, one year ago today was when I found out that I was pregnant with Connor. Has it really been a year? I wish he was here with us! My goal this weekend is to get plants for the cemetery. I don't like how he doesn't have anything. I just need to figure out what will go well up there and plant them with Brett's help of course!

Ok off to bed. I have had a really bad headache all day. Didn't even go to yoga tonight! Will try it out on Thursday. Need to get up early tomorrow to switch our license plates to Massachusetts! After tomorrow we will officially be MA residents!!!!

Have a good night!

Love,

Erika

Another Fun Weekend!

I love weekends! Who doesn't!!!! We had a good weekend. Weather wasn't suppose to be nice but it turned out to be a beautiful weekend! Friday night I picked up a shift at the restaurant that I use to work at. Saturday morning was spent running errands and then at the beach in the afternoon. Saturday night we went to my Godfather's house for dinner. Everything was so good! I made homemade chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. They were wonderful!! Today my good friend Andrea from college came to visit! We went to my uncles pool where it was beautiful. We had a blast!!! Tonight was just Mitchell, Brett and I for dinner, so I made grilled chicken and corn on the cob. We then went for a nice bike ride around town.

I love Sundays! I start working tomorrow, well actually its just orientation but I'm looking forward to it but have anxiety about it too. Ok so this is a quick post since I have to finish filling out paperwork and then find something to wear. I went shopping this past week because all my work clothes were maternity and I haven't lost all the weight yet so I can wear pre pregnancy clothes. It sucks!!!!!!!! But love getting new clothes!!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Have a g'night and I will update in the next couple of days about my new job!! Wish me luck!

Back to Reality!

Back to reality on Monday. I got a full time job working at my old job before I moved to Georgia. I'm looking forward to it. Just wish that I could have waited a couple more weeks or maybe a couple of years!!!! Someday I will be able to be the stay at home mom I have always wanted to be.. I just wish it was now with Connor.

I love being in Mattapoisett and I hope Brett loves it too. I feel that this move has been great therapy for me. I don't always have the time that I had in Georgia to think about things. Here I'm busy and there is always people around to keep me occupied. My mind still races of what ifs, what if Connor was here, what would I be doing. Would we even be here? I hate that all of his stuff is in storage except for one bin that I keep with me. I miss seeing his crib all set up. I hope someday it will be put to good use. I know Connor would like that. I miss him so much and my heart just feels so heavy at times. I miss going to my support group. We found one up here but missed the August Meeting so we will have to wait for September.

We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary this past Sunday. We had to drive my sister back to school with my parents in the morning, but then Brett and I came home so that we could go out to dinner. We had a very nice dinner at Not Your Average Joe's. This weekend we are going to go to Newport to celebrate. We were going to go back to Martha's Vineyard where we had our honeymoon but thought we should go somewhere different. As much as I enjoyed our 1st anniversary something was missing, actually someone was missing, our Baby Connor. He was suppose to be here. Our wedding night is actually the night we conceived Connor. Brett thinks it was our honeymoon, but I know deep down in my heart that it was that night. I can't believe that it has been a year since then. Time flies.

Ok so I have been rambling and I'm all over the place. Time to make dinner! Have a good night!

Summers in Mattapoisett are the best!!!

There is nothing like a sunny day and knowing that you will be going to the beach! That is the one thing I didn't like about Georgia, is that you had to drive 5 hours to get to a beach. Here in Mattapoisett it is only a walk across the street from the house.

It's a busy weekend! I worked last night at a local restaurant that I worked at before I moved to Georgia. Luckily I got right back into the swing of things, but my legs are hurting today!!! Today is a beach day, but running errands this morning. Just have to wait for my Papa to get back from his bike ride and I'm off!!! Carly (my sister) leaves tomorrow to go back to school and we are having a party for her tonight. I'm making the dessert, haven't figured it out yet but I'm thinking some type of cobbler. I hope it comes out ok because I have never made a cobbler before! Wish me luck!

Tomorrow is our one year anniversary. Can you believe it? I can't! It feels like this year has been a blur, oh wait it has!!! Yesterday was Connor's 4 month Angel Anniversary and every month gets better, but it still sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy that people recognize it. It means so much to me! He was is our baby boy and he will always be here with us!! I really need to get flowers for him this weekend and plant them, but for some reason I'm having a hard time with that. Ahhhhh!!

I'm sorry I'm rambling, but I have one more thing to write about! My best friend had her baby two weeks ago and I'm so excited for her. He is so cute. I thought it was going to be really hard to see him, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have actually seen him twice. I just wish that Connor was here because they would have been best buddies just like me and my friend!!! And I just want to thank my friend for being so understanding about the whole situation. She has made it so much better than she will ever know!

Ok I'm done! Time to get dressed and get my day started!! I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Finally!

I finally have time to write in my blog. I have also just figured out how to get my pictures from my camera on to the computer.

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. We have been in Mattapoisett for almost 2 weeks now. Brett started working today and I have been helping out at my Mom's office. We are starting to get into a routine which is good! I'm so glad that Brett started working today, he was starting to get bored being at home all day by himself.

Here are some pictures from our move from Georgia to Mattapoisett. It was a stressful and hot time. The movers never showed up, so my Dad and Brett had to do everything and then once they were done we started the 16 hour drive which turned into 26 hours because of the truck and that we couldn't go any faster than 60-65. That doesn't seem bad, but it was! I think it took us at least a couple of days to recoup from the trip and haven't looked back!!

My last ride home from work! The Flowery Branch Water Tower!

We were waiting for the Movers who never showed up!

The truck slowly getting filled up! By the end we had things jammed packed in there!

Ok my computer is being stupid with uploading pictures so I'm going to stop here. I hope you all have a g'night!
