Visit's, Car's, Class and Becoming a Demon!

I love the day's I get to pick Amanda up from her visit with Justin.  She is always full of energy and just wants to be with me.  That makes me feel sooooo good!  I enjoyed this last pick-up day because I got to visit with Justin's mom and two sisters.  I think that is one of the main things I miss about being married to Justin; my time with his family.

I am always amazed at just how smart Amanda is and how well she remembers things.  She is a virtual treasure trove of stories and information, it never ceases to amaze me.  Her latest go-do for me has been her "Team Umizoomi Car".




The "Team Umizoomi Car" with 25+ years of dirt and dust.

 


A clean "Team Umizoomi Car"

 

If you are my friend on Facebook, you probably have seen these pictures.  This car is one of the last things I have that my grandparents gave me when I was a child.  This car means a lot to me.  I am excited, and sad at the same time, to be fixing it up for Amanda.  I know she will enjoy getting to drive it, but it is hard to let go.  Please check back for more updates as we work to restore this car.

I am actually getting do do more crafts as well.  My dear friend and former youth group member is having a baby very soon!  She has asked me to do the letters for his room.  I may make this a career!  I also have another project I am working on that I think is going to be pretty cool.  I will post pictures of that once it is finished.

Tap class is going well.  I love dancing.  I am actually going to tap a duo with my teacher at the next recital.  I am pretty excited for Amanda to get to see that.  I missed our last wind symphony rehearsal due to Amanda coming home that day.  Our first performance is May 1st; Concert on the Lawn at Tarleton's Langdon Center.

Speaking of Tarleton, I have sent away for some information from Northwestern State University in Louisiana regarding their online Bachelors Degree program.  NSU was where I wanted to go when I graduated from high school.  I wish I would have...but things didn't pan out and I am really glad they didn't.  I was stoked to find that they offer the same degree online that I was working towards at Kaplan.  I am going to try and persue that.  I would love to graduate as a Demon!

I am glad the beautiful weather is back.  It really makes me happy to be able to play outside with Amanda.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
