The last little while!

i've been planning on going to school for so long and it's finally here! i'm so excited and rather than going part time i have decided to go full time at night, so that i can keep my job that i need anyways! i'm a little sad that's i'm going to miss a lot of time with robert by going down this road in life but i very strongly believe that it will benefit him in the long run, and my best friend is going to be taking him while i'm at school, i'm such a lucky girl! so lucky to have everything i do! so i'm going to study really hard and try to clep out of a few courses and then go from there! Ahhhh i can't even explain how excited i am and how great of a day i had yesterday!!!haha i have a school girl crush on my best guy friend and we can't seem to get enough of each other, daycare went down over 100 dollars a month because robert is turning 2, work is going fantastically and i now have amazing benefits that are 100% paid for by my company and life seems pretty wonderful!!!... FINALLY huh! BTW here is a funny pic my brother took of robert and myself at the mall on Saturday!

YAY!!!

Sooo, yesterday i got an email about my fafsa, student grants! and i got it, i'm not sure exactly for how much but i will receive but it will make a huge difference! i'm very excited and it just makes me that much more greatful for the changes that i am making with my life! i couldn't be more happy! I have decided to go in to the dental field to become a DDS so if anyone needs a super cute and very good dentist about 18 years from now (because that is how long it could possibly take going part PART time) look me up!

Blogging!

okay i haven't blogged for.... well along time since i was at my dad's place back in may! i've been going through a lot of really big changes the last few months. my husband and i are getting divorced, and it was heart breaking at first, or at least i thought! i let something happen, i lost myself in the relationship, i left LEIGH behind and changed almost everything about who i was in order to be what i though a good wife was. not many of you know the detail of what happened, and that is as it should be, but i've been changing and it's a really good thing. i've found the Leigh i love and love to be! i'm strong again and can rely on myself for anything i need, and it's so nice! nice to not "NEED" anyone for anything. the people i spend my time with are the ones i choose to surround myself with because i value them and feel that being around my "FRIENDS" adds to me and who i am. for the friends i have lost over the last 3 or so years i'm sorry, and for those of you who stuck by me thank you, i love you, i'm back for good!

South Carolina

Robert and i have been in south carolina all week and we have been having a good time. wednesday we went up into north carolina to the cherokee indian nation since it is part of our heritage and then into tennessee. it was fun and a good trip here are some of our pics from the drive.

And of course!

just like any other little boy... he just had to pick the scab! yuck! it was kinda funny to see him doing it though, i wouldn't have thought as young as he is he would pick a scab. ehk. i don't know what happened to it though but i guess i could only imagine. either he ate it(yuck yuck yuck), or it is somewhere on my carpet waiting to be sucked up. i think i will go and pull out the vacuum tonight!

I remember being a kid!

the christmas right after i turned 6 i got my first 2 wheeler bike, however i didn't know how to ride it. luckily by brother josh knew and was very excited to teach me. we practiced and practiced and i had it the first day. i was so excited and felt so big. josh and i had decided to ride on up to my granny's house. somewhere along the way i lost control and crashed. as i lied on the side of the extremely non-busy road screaming that i knew i was going to die, josh went home to get my mom. it's funny thinking back to when i was a kid having a skinned knee was the end of the world to me. i wonder if it was just me i am a little dramatic about most everything, or if it's a girl thing??? Hmmm? anyways yesterday when i changed robert's diaper i noticed he was bleeding! he got his first skinned knee! funny he never cried i didn't even know anything had happened. what a brave little boy i am so proud of him. one of the first GOOD signs that he's not 100% like his mama.

My First Time

so i took robert to get his hair cut quite a while ago, and the girl butchered his hair, and i mean it was awful so bad that she didn't charge us. so over this beautiful easter weekend i decided to take a wack at it my self FOR THE FIRST TIME. he went from extremely happy and excited to absolutely terrified if less than 3 minutes. i must say it did turn out okay though much better than the "professional" who obviously didn't know what she was doing. maybe i should go into the biz...
