Hi everyone! So it's been a while and I reaaallly wanted to update. First off, Kevin and I got our own apartment! We moved in the weekend before Halloween, when it snowed (it hasn't really snowed since... this weather is wacky). That was pretty stressful, what with painting, buying stuff to put in the apartment, etc... Anyways, the apartment belongs to Kevin's sister's boyfriend. He was having trouble paying his mortgage (he owns the building), so Kevin offered to move in, and Sean (the owner) move to the basement attached to this apartment. We have been doing well, groceries are expensive, as to be expected with a man with a huge appetite. The shower in the basement has not been finished though, therefore Sean has to come up to our apartment to take a shower. Not the best, but I can't complain-the guy's giving us a place to live! Sean and Jess (Kevin's sister) are planning to move to Brigantine, NJ, where Sean has a shore house, around September, when Kevin's best friend Jim is hoping to rent out the basement. I think by then the shower and kitchen should be installed down there.
And now about the light of my life. Ava has been crawling everywhere and getting into everything! She got some new, big toys for her first Christmas, which was so much fun (I made Christmas dinner!). She loves them. She's getting a little bit closer to walking... cruising furniture and using little baby walkers. She even stands by herself for like 3 seconds.
And I can't forget to mention that Ava will be turning 1 in 19 days! I cannot believe it. When moms say time flies, they mean it. I feel like yesterday, I was holding her in the hospital, nursing her for 3 hours straight (oh, that was fun). Her birthday is on Superbowl Sunday this year, so we'll be holding her birthday party the day before at Kevin's mom's house. I will have to make her her own personal cake/cupcake though, because she's allergic to milk =(. I feel so bad, there's so many good things that other kids can eat, that she can't. Hopefully she'll outgrow her allergy by the time she's older. I can't imagine being a kid and not being able to eat Oreos with milk.
Oh, and guess what?! Kevin proposed!!!! He asked me to marry him on the night of our 5th anniversary of him asking me to be his girlfriend, when we were 13 and 15. Oh, how we've changed. But we've stayed together and now we're getting married on November 3rd of this year. It's crazy, nobody believed me when I was 14 and saying I was going to marry this guy, and now it's happening. I always knew I would marry him.
Anywho, I should get off this computer... I'm dead tired, because Ava's been teething and is awake half the night, screaming... I should take a nap while she does. Hopefully I'll update soon!
