An Update, some pics & a ta-ta for now! - *Got long....sorry*

MyLuvBugs wrote: Oh gosh....so many amazing things have been happening lately. We're starting to feel like 2007 is really going to be a good year. I'm hoping that's not a jinx.

Our business is going very well. We have our first bridal show this weekend, and we're meeting with an SBA counsellor tomorrow morning to hopefully finalize all the legal paperwork. My dream is coming true ya'll. I'm just so happy. Now we just have to dig ourselves out of this giant debt we're in.

Steven is working all the time. It's hard, and he doesn't really like a couple of his jobs. A lot of stuff was promised to us that hasn't happened (for instance health insurance), so he's feeling a little upset that we moved all this way for "nothing" as he likes to call it. But it will all work out. I'm sure the higher powers have a plan for us.

Lexi is growing like a weed!!! She's going to be crawling here in a matter of weeks. She's already getting up on her hands and knees and rocking back and forth. Take a look:


It's really cute. When she tries to move her legs and arms she just face plants into the carpet. LOL But she's just growing and growing. Here's another from a couple days ago. LOL I love the look on her face.


Lorelei is such a wonderful big sister. She loves to play with Lexi and is trying to teach Lex her ABC's (even though she doesn't quite have them all herself ) She's got a little bit of impetigo on her face right now, but it's going away. And she got a hair cut this morning. I'm just so amazed at how vast her language is getting. It's like every day she learns a new word or two or three. Here's a couple pics from a week ago.



So if you've made it this far, you've gotten the update and the pics.....now it's time for my farewell, I suppose. I've decided that with the business and the kids.....I just don't have time anymore for certain things. Plus, there are some people on here that just seem to like drama. Sorry, but right now my personal life has enough drama and stress, I dont' need it on here too. It also seems like in the last few months (especially the last summer) a lot of people on here forgot that an opinion is never wrong....just different. No one person's opinion is better or worse than anyone elses. Just wish some people on here would realize that.

Anyways, I won't close my account or anything, but I'm just not going to be coming on here any longer unless absolutely necessary. I hope all of you that are pregnant right now have gorgeous healthy babies and safe & easy labors. Those that are trying to loose weight, I wish you the best of luck at acheiving your goals.

If any of you would like to contact me in the future, just send me a PM. I'll check on here one last time on Friday, and I'll get you my personal email and myspace info. I do hope that some of you stay in touch. It's been a privilege getting to know you all. Take care!

Calimama replied: Aww they are so adorable!!! When you were talking about Lorelei teaching abc's it reminded me of a time we were grocery shopping and we heard this little girl saying " A L B T Z X YAAAAAAAAA" and her mom said something to her and she screamed, " NO MOM. IT'S RIGHT NOW HUSH." We'll miss you and I hope you pop in every once in awhile at least. Good luck with your business!!

C&K*s Mommie replied: Ericka, the girls are gorgeous! What wonderful precious pics to have of them at this stage in their life.
I hope things continue to work out for the best for Steven, you obviously have trust that it will and surely he could use your positive vibes right now.
Stay in touch, don't be a stranger!

Good Luck to you and your family

CantWait replied: Erika, sorry to see you go. I myself haven't noticed the drama around here lately, I actually thought it's been quite calm

All the best and I look forward to seeing you around in the future.

Best of luck with all of it, the business, Stevens jobs, and I'm so proud of you for going for it with your own dreams


You are absolutely right, I'm sorry you've been misjudged.

I'll be talking to you soon

I'm sorry to see you go, but you know what is best for you and your family now. I will miss your posts and hope you'll keep us updated from time to time.
