2010 in a nut shell

i haven't been able to get on here in a very long time... 2010 was eventful but yet boring at the same time. in July i gained full time status of the love of my life, miss rae. in march we moved in with Lindsy in a small house in Princeton. i am still working in the optical department. i found a new day care lady, who evalie really enjoys seeing. she continues to spend Monday with my mom, my mom loves her gramma time. it hasn't been easy but some how i manage to hold everything together, i am so lucky to have the support of my family and friends. i haven't heard from evalie's dad in over a month now, i still don't get how he can go weeks without seeing her. the very thought of that breaks my heart. evalie has now learned a wide variety of words, her favorite of the moment is no. "would you like some juice?" "NO" "can i have a kiss?" "NO" "are you being crabby?" "NO" i can't help but smile. she's been very busy, getting into everything, having dance parties in the kitchen, and learning 'what's this' to whatever it is she's pointing at. it amazes me still how smart she is, and i am looking forward to her two year appointment in march-i know hard to believe she will be two!

Evalie and I at christmas time

I have a lot of plans for 2011, i just have to figure out what i need to do to get them accomplished. lindsy and mike got engaged over christmas, which means i need to find a new place to live. the thought of living on my own terrifies me, i have yet to have my own place. with this only 9 months away i need to figure out where i want to be and what job i need to find to afford living by myself. my other goal is to get things finalized with custody of evalie. i fear that her father will try and take her away from me again, i would fall apart and i dont want it to be like it was. having her only every other week. i would miss so much. but hopefully i won't have to worry about that. also to update this a little more often than i have been, so until next time....
