Yes, it's been a long time since I've posted. It's been craziness in the Shugan household!! I started my new job almost 2 weeks ago. It's been very busy and these 2 weeks have flown by but I'm enjoying myself. It's weird getting used to the way a company does stuff when you're used to doing and saying certain things (policies & procedures...even answering the phone!). Adam is almost done with school (knock on wood) He submitted the final draft of his thesis and is waiting for his final grade. He applied for a couple of jobs here in Gainesville. Now that he is done with his thesis he is going to apply elsewhere. We have both been looking for jobs for him around here but there's not a lot open. We kinda knew that this would be a possibility. We'll see what happens. I'm not making plans for anything besides what is happening this minute and within the foreseeable future! We still haven't been able to go to Disney with our passes. I was sick and so we weren't able to go, we were going to go this weekend but the part time person that works weekends is no longer employed there so that didn't work out. I told Adam, by the time we get to use them they will have expired! We are talking about going next weekend but I'm just gonna wait to even try and plan it! Don't wanna jinx it. The weekend of April 24-25 Adam's family will be in Chicago for his cousin's bat mitzvah (we'll be staying at their house to watch the dog :/ ) then the next weekend is Elliot's graduation in Tallahassee. Adam is definitely going, I'm not sure if I am. It depends on if I have to keep helping out on Saturdays.
We talked about renting a house. We found one right across the street from my friend Kristin. We really liked it and it would've been awesome to live across the street from Kiki and Benny. In the end, though, we decided to stay where we are. We would've had to pay deposits and all the jazz. Plus, if we do end up having to move we don't want to have any issues with getting out of a lease. At least if we do need to break our lease, we already know the breakage fees where we currently live. That makes it a little easier. Plus, I don't want to move again unless it's to a house we are either buying or a rental house we plan on staying in for the next few years...
Sadie is doing well. Her allergies are crazy right now but she is in great spirits. They had a "yay Sadie's walking" party for her at daycare (their idea). I made mini cupcakes for the kids and asked them to take pics. We took her to the butterfly garden on Easter and she had a GREAT time. She loved all the birds and butterflies. It was kind of crowded, so we'll have to go back some other time. I told Adam we should've gotten married there! It's so neat. Other than that she's just been playing and being a silly little monkey. She has been pee peeing in her potty. Not consistently but a lot. I think It'll be easier when she goes to the 2 year old class. They don't potty training until that class at daycare.
Well, I'll try to post again soon. Luckily not too much exciting stuff happens to us. I hope we'll get to go to Disney soon!
Yes, I know, there are a lot of pics from this weekend. Photobucket is being weird again so I just posted them all like this! Saturday morning one of my best friends (Jenn) had her baby shower. Unfortunately I only got one pic of she and our other best friend Vanessa. The baby shower was so much fun. It was so great to see Jenn open all of her wonderful gifts and see her mother (who is such a fantastic woman) and laugh and have a good time. Right after the shower, one of my other best friends (since high school) got married!!! Kristin and Benny had their wedding in an airplane hanger and it was so awesome. They put everything together themselves and it looked fantastic. She asked me to do the flowers, so I made her bouquet, 2 boutonnieres and a pomander flower ball. They turned out pretty well. The wedding was super fun too. Sadie enjoyed playing with Benny's daughter Ciara (they've played together before). Ciara was pushing Sadie around in her stroller and taking her on walks and dancing with her. It was so cute. After the wedding we just came home and hung out. Today we just ran a couple of errands and enjoyed not having anything planned. We took Sadie to the museum and walked around. Other than that today was pretty uneventful. Although, we did get to have breakfast and dinner with Adam's mom and that was really nice. We haven't seen her in a few weeks so it was nice to catch up (and talk about Grey's anatomy, which we both love!). Sadie is in bed now and Adam is watching tv. This week will hopefully be low key and then next weekend is a long weekend. And (Mom, don't forget) Thursday, a movie I am VERY excited about opens!!!! Mom and I are going to have a girls night and see it. Anyways. Hope everyone has a great week. Loves.
So...today when Sadie woke up, her hair was plastered to her face with snot. She had a huge rat's nest in the back of her head and would not keep in the pig tails I kept trying to put up. Sadie had her first hair cut. It's a little shorter than what I wanted but it'll grow. Now, I know some of you out there are thinking 'oh, no!!', but I think, for the summer, this will be better for her. She is so hot natured and won't keep her hair up. We needed to do something. She seems to like it. She kept shaking her head around to make it fluff and smiling. We forgot the camera when we took her to get it cut. But, we went to my Dad and Carrie's house this afternoon and got some pics. They bought a turtle sandbox for her to play in at their house. After she played in that for a while we went swimming. We ate some delicious burgers on (Dad grilled) and went for a walk around the neighborhood. It was nice. I feel like I need another day off. I worked 6 days, off today and work 5 this week! I am tired. I have a baby shower and wedding this upcoming weekend and am making the flowers for the wedding! I am really excited about that. Work is going well, busy, but well. Adam is applying for multiple jobs every evening all over the country. It'll be interesting to see where we end up. I have tons of pics to post from last weekend (when we went to Disney, again, and Epcot). But, I'm not sure if I'll get them posted tonight. I wanted to get these up since she looks so cute with her new hair do! Sadie has been sick with a sinus infection. She was sick last weekend at Disney and Epcot but she mostly rode in her stroller was carried or was on a ride so she did fine. As soon as my insurance kicks in we plan to take her to see an ENT doctor. After thinking about it and talking with both of my parents I am convinced that she wouldn't have so many problems with breathing if we had her adenoids and possibly tonsils) taken out. From what I've heard, I had the same problems when I was her age and the procedures greatly helped me. I also want to talk to them about her ears. She still falls over easily and looses her balance and if you watch her you can see it's her equilibrium. She just has too much fluid in that little head. But, hopefully we will get that taken care of soon! I love that kid to pieces. Well, I will try and get those other pics posted. Loves.
Wow! what a fun Sunday! We went over to Cresent beach and St. Augustine today. Luckily it was kind of overcast so it wasn't too hot, it was nice. Sadie had tons of fun playing in the sand. The water was a little cold but we sat down in the very shallow area and played a little. Adam and I played pro kadima and Sadie ran back and forth trying to get the ball. We only stayed at the beach for about 3 hours, then we went in to St. Augustine. Admission to Castillo de San Marco is free this week and I haven't been in a long time; Adam had never been. It was really neat to see all of the history. It's amazing that the fort has been there so long and withstood so much. Sadie had fun running around. She went through this little door into an old ammo room (it was part of the tour if you wanted to crawl through). We saw them set off the cannons a couple of times and looked at all the neat stuff. It was a blast. After that we got some lunch and walked around in the old town. Sadie even got some of my ice cream. We got home about 6:30 and kind of just relaxed. Sadie went to bed and we start the week all over again! This coming weekend, Adam and I are staying at his parents to watch their dog. The whole family will be in Chicago for Adam's cousin's bat mitzvah. Unfortunately we are not able to go so we get to be on dog sitting duty! Maybe we'll do something fun next Sunday! Nighty night! Loves.
