Life Lately

it has been hectic for the Rickels lately! Lots going on, but all fun stuff ;)

This past weekend was packed full of family birthdays! My birthday, my SILs, my nephews, my FIL-- we had one big family lunch to celebrate us all! And my nephew had his 5th bday party Saturday at Monkey Joe's! After his party me, and two of my SILs went to see the Katy Perry (everyone says i look like her, i just dont see it!) movie...no lie. and it was AMAZING! haha I know it sounds so corny, but it was so good- makes me want to go see her live like asap. It also had some footage backstage, interviews, talked about her divorce- literally had us tearing up. Who knew a Katy Perry movie would be such a tear jerker!? Afterward we downloaded her CD and now all 3 of us are enjoying her to and from work ;) oh seester time, gotta love it!



This week is turning out to be a busy one! We're trading my car! Getting myself a mom mobile (no no, not a mini van, NEVER!) -- I love my TSX but theres just not enough room, Adelynn's car seat barely fits in the back and theres not much room for anything else. We found a 2007 CRV in great condition, and the price was right! Heres my new mommy car:


I'm so excited to have more room!


Also this week, garage sale! I'm working on getting everything together for a big yard sale on a weekend (don't know which one yet) but went ahead and started posting pictures/prices of stuff on my facebook- best idea ever! I've sold quite a few things by doing that! So this week/weekend I'm meeting up with different people who are buying stuff from us. Excited to get some extra money!

OH! Random side note: got my journal in the mail and LOVE IT. it is so beautiful and I cannot wait to start writing in it! She also included the sweetest little note, and a free book mark! the book mark is BEAUTIFUL as well. loved the whole experience with her from beginning to end!

We have a pretty fun weekend ahead of us too. Friday we are having a cook out with 4 different couples- hosting it at our house, and I'm super excited. Its so nice to have couple friends to see/hang out with on a regular basis, and I really hope we start doing it more and more! Saturday we have a couple errands, and that night the Bakers are coming in to town! Nick, Claire, Lilly, and Brynn! They are staying with us Saturday night, for Adelynn's baptism on Sunday! GLAD we are finally getting her baptized, I wanted to do it a lot sooner than now but oh well. Sunday at 12:30 we're baptizing her at St. Stephens- the church I was converted in, church we were married in, and church Joey was raised in :) I have both mine and Joey's baptism gowns from when we were baptized as babies; I tried mine on her last night and it fits PERFECT and looks so pretty on her :) It made me a little teary! Super excited to see all our friends/family and finally get our baby girl baptized!

Work has been insanely busy but thats good, means business is good and I have a job! I still miss my baby every single day but its gotten easier. I just soak up as much time as I can with her on the weekends. Life has just been busy, but I take every opportunity I can to be lazy and just enjoy time with Adelynn!

and now, i leave you with a couple adorable videos of my sweet girl (talkin to daddy, super baby, and peek-a-boo!)
