No more of this garbage!

I'm so excited that in a few short days, Taylor wont have to be woken up by a giant garbage truck right outside her apartment window that lets out an exasperated sigh when it parks and then that grinding mechanical sound when it reaches its arm down to pick up the large metal trash bin and then the rattling clanking sound of the bin as it is repeatedly banged against the truck, become louder and louder as the garbage is released into the truck because the bin becomes emptier and hollower. Then the grand finale: a thunderous bang as it is plummets back to the concrete ground. Did I mention I'm excited to move into a house? Yay!

After years of full-time work and full-time school, here comes my favorite part of all... FULL-TIME MOMMY. It was a long day for Taylor who came up on stage to receive the diploma with me, but she was so good the whole time.

C-ya CSUN!

I spent years of trying to pass math classes just to get out of Pierce college for my associates degree, then on to CSUN for my Bachelors degree. The time has finally come. Yay!

Taylor tells Daddy "I love you"

4 month old Taylor barely woke up just after Adam left for work so we sent him this video. If you listen closely, you'll hear her say "I love you". Genius I tell ya.

Sigalertary

It was a Friday evening and the notary was on his way to sign the time sensitive loan documents to our new house. Adam who calls me his "sigarlertary" often calls me to check sigalert.com to help him choose the least congested route home. The notary was supposed to arrive at 7:30pm and at 7:25pm, I receive a phone call from Adam. "So.... not good," he says. "Traffic?" I ask. "I'm the traffic," his downtrodden response declared. My busy hard working husband forgot to fill the hungry gas tank of his GMC and there he was neighboring the fast lane on the 405 freeway at Sunset Blvd with traffic flowing all around him except for miles behind him because the 405 was his new parking spot. AAA took 30 minutes to assist him, but that was better than OnStar's hour quote. That was the longest 30 minutes I have ever felt. What a blessing to find out that he was safely moved off the freeway and nobody rear ended him and nobody else got into an accident because of it. It's not everyday that Adam has his own traffic alert on sigalert.com. I had to show the notary so he would understand why the long delay!
