Emma has become such a character! I LOVE IT!!! <3

YAY!

I have just three updates for today:

• I LOVE listening to Emma talk every day and hear her say new and different words!
• I have a new job at Abercrombie!
• I have it all figured out now! :D

Life Update.....

School is going pretty good so far. Although, accounting is kind of kicking me in the ass a little lol. But overall I am liking Southeast Tech better than USF by far.

Emma has finally gotten over her week of being sick. Oh man! I have never seen her as cranky as she was last week while she was sick. But she still made her mommy smile :)

Jiwoo is finally done with Driver's Ed, well after her test tomorrow, so life has calmed down a little in that area. Her birthday is also coming up this week. That's pretty exciting! (For her that is lol.)

That's pretty much it for now.

I HATE ALL MEN!!!

UGH!!

All I have to say today is that i screwed myself over. I am so STRESSED! I need to find a healthy way to deal with all this stress.

Emma is one AMAZING fit thrower! :) She is so much better than her mom ever was at it. I love it! Finding a babysitter is craziness! I never thought it would be so difficult. Another thing I want to say is that I am tired of being screwed over by the government. Ugh!

My photography studio is moving along really slowly. I finally found a guy to kind of mentor me. But still the racking in the money is not happening yet. Oh the stress just keeps piling up!

She's Arrived!!

My foreign sister has finally arrived back at home! I do not think I could possibly be any more excited about this. Although, there is no way that anyone was more happy to see Jiwoo than Emma. In all the 13 months that Emma has been here in my life, I have never seen her act as giddy and smilely and as happy as she did when Jiwoo walked through that airport door. From the minute Emma saw her, she was all smiles until we got home and constantly kept giving Jiwoo kisses. Jiwoo recieved more kisses than I get in a week in just an hour after she got here. Needless to say, Mommy was a little jealous. Lol...

In other news, I am currently working on getting some business cards made for my photography studio. Also, my photo shoots are getting to be more often. I am a little overwhelmed and very excited about this. I will be the first to admit though, that I get nervous before every photo shoot that I do. I'm always worried that clients will not like how the photos turn out. But i guess that those are just the "new professional photographer" jitters.

More school stuff on Thursday. More orientation for college and I get my laptop this week. I can't wait to start school. I was not expecting that I would actually ligitly miss school as much as I do. It is definitely a strange feeling. But super excited for everything to get rolling on Monday! :)

I make bad love life decisions. I need some standards. When I set these standards though, I need to make sure that I don't give in to something that doesn't meet them just because I'm tired of being single. My new way of thinking and I'm hoping that this works this time. I don't need a man but if one appears, he has a checklist to clear first.

Still Here........

Well I really do suck at this whole blogging thing. Hahaha.... So here is a little bit of an update for you all.

Work is going great! I have been working for over a month now and I am enjoying my job. There are many people that work there that are wonderful and fun people to work with.

Emma's first birthday was AMAZING!! I had the best time. I can't believe my little girl is getting soo big. Time is going by so fast! It does not seem like she should be one already. She is such a blessing to me though.

Jiwoo comes back home in a couple weeks. I can't wait!! Emma and I are both excited. I'm just curious as to how Emma will react to Jiwoo when she returns. I hope she doesn't totally pull away from her because that will make Jiwoo feel so sad.

411

So I have been pretty slack on updating my blog lately. It has been about two months since my last posting. Well here is a little 411 on what has been going on.

Emma's birthday is only a week away! I am super excited for it. I can't believe that my baby girl is turning one already. Time flew by so fast! She has also started eating table food more frequently. Her appetite has gotten much larger to the point that her jarred foods are more like snacks now. It is so exciting to watch her grow up and change. I absolutely love it!

I got a job!! Finally someone has let me get farther in my job search then just an interview. Actually, when I had my interview with JcPenney, they offered me the job right there at the interview. Which saved me from days of agony waiting to hear from them on whether or not I had gotten the job. This job came along right on time too because my money that I have left is just about all gone. I feel so much more less stressed now that I have finally gotten a job. Thank god it has finally happened! Lol

School is all set up and ready for the fall. As sad as it might be to say, I have really missed school. I'm glad to be going back this fall and I think that what I have planned for the next three years is going to be great. I can't wait!

Also, I have started taking my photography more seriously now. My parents went out and bought themselves a brand new camera because they were tired of their digital cameras breaking, and this camera is amazing. I have been using it and playing around with it quite a bit. I have been playing around and editing my photos on the computer more too. Working on making everything more professional I guess is what you could call it. Now I just need to get the logo figured out. My mom and I have been tossing around ideas. I came up with the name and she has been helping me with the look. It's much tougher than I thought it would be. If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know.

Ahhhhhh!

One minute Emma is playing by her swing while I'm watching Fringe and the next, she is climbing the STAIRS!!!!!! She is growing up so fast!!

..:::Here are a few new pictures:::..

I'm not too sure about what I should write about. I figured I should write something though since I have not been on in a long time. Well, life is life and I AM READY FOR SUMMER!

..:::And here is a video:::..

Start to a very LONG day!

Well my day is not going to turn out the way I wanted it to. I am definitely not going to get anything I need to do done today. My little lovebug is very sick. She has a runny nose, can barely breathe out her nose, has a cough, and is refusing any sleep. Last night, we were up every two hours just for her to cry for about 20 minutes and then we went back to sleep. Today is going to be a long day!

.::.Summer Dreams.::.

This is probably one overly ambitious dreams for me to do this summer because of everything from the last couple months but hey, who knows what could happen. Well, Friday I will be looking at a few apartments that are near the house with my mom. I am stongly hoping to be able to move out this summer with one of my friends. There's a very likely chance that this might not be able to happen this year since I have been out of a job for a couple months. But if it's suppose to happen, then somehow it will. I will admitt though, I am super excited for the possibility of being able to do it. This is something that I feel like I have been waiting to do forever. Man, my independence is such a pain in the butt sometimes. Lol!

Emma! My little lovebug! She now has a mouthful of teeth and they are still coming in strong. We bought teddy puffs, a cereal like cherrios, for her now that she has all these teeth and she abolutely loves them. Snack time is much more fun and entertaining now that is consists of more then just a bottle. Oh, she is growing up so fast! I am so excited to celebrate her first birthday! :)

Yay! I can't wait to start going back to school in the fall. STI here I come!! Lol... I am so excited for everything that is to come in my life. I am totally anxious!

On another note, Emma is not having such a good day. Actually it's been more like a few bad days lately. It is seems like my little angel is coming down with something. She has a little cough, runny nose, and she actually had a little bit of a bloody nose today. Oh and let's add to why she's been cranky those 4 teeth that she is cutting right now. My poor baby girl :( Hopefully she starts feeling better soon.

Outside the Box....

I think it is about time that I start thinking outside the box when it comes to looking for a job. Everything is a whole lot tougher than I thought it would be.

In other news, Emma got her new carseat! She is a big girl now! :D

Craziness!!

Call me crazy but I am going! I have decided I am going to go back to school. Who ever thought the day would come where I said that I miss school? HA! Yeah right! But honestly I am pretty excited about going back this time. I actually know what it is that I want to do and I have a plan. Plans, they are a life saver! So, hopefully this fall I will be enrolled back in school.

Update....

Well Emma is still working on her teeth. She is much more pleasent this week compared to last week though. I have started taking her to great grandma's house once a week now so she can get use to being over there again since sooner or later I will be going back to work. It's taking awhile but she is warming back up to great grandma and being over there. The time has come for Emma to switch from the infant carrier to a car seat. She is a big girl now and definitely too big for that carrier. Needless to say I am very happy about not having to carry her around in that carrier pretty soon. It seems to get heavier by the day.

Yesterday was my interview and it seemed to have gone pretty good. Although I am still in awe that the owners who are opening this coffee shop are two guys and a girl all under the age of 25. Honestly, it makes me think of that tv show. Anyways, within the next week or two I should be finding out about the job. In the mean time, I'll still be looking for a job because you never know what might happen.

I royally suck at making decisions. I'm not a big fan of change when I don't know what to expect. Sadly, there are quite a few slightly large decisions I am going to have to be making in the very near future. Honestly I am not looking forward to this, so my procrasting side is going to show itself when the time comes to make these decisions. Who knows, maybe they will be easier then I'm expecting.

Teething Monster!

For awhile there, I was wondering if Emma was going to have any more teeth coming. She got her first two teeth when she was around four months old and we haven't seen any action since. Well that all changed this week! Now she has three maybe four teeth coming in. My poor little girl. So needless to say, she has be somewhat of a crankster this week.

As for me, the job hunt is still on. I do have another interview on Monday though. So I am pretty stoaked and definitely looking forward to that. Hope it goes well!

A Little About Me....

My name is Jessi. Last year I graduated high school and currently I am not attending college. However, I do plan on attending college when the time is right to pursue my dream of owning a photography studio. I have the most amazing daughter I could ever ask for! Her name is Emma Christine. Right now, I am spending my time at home with her while I am looking for a job. I love spending time with my little snuggler, so it is definently going to be hard to go back to working full-time once I do find a job. Now just a warning, I am not much of a blogger, so don't be too disappointed when I don't update my blog every day.
