Almost Halloween... and turning a new page :-)

I can't believe it's almost the end of October.. already! SOO much stuff has changed in the past few months, and I'm pretty excited to be facing these changes.


Emma has grown leaps and bounds, and I'm more proud of her today then I was yesterday. Today Emma will start daycare full time. I'm nervous, but she's as excited as ever. She told me yesterday.. the BEST part of going to daycare is she gets to take a nap!! But yet at home, I had to bribe her to sit down for two minutes.. weird! HAHA!


The reason Emma will be going to daycare full time is because I finally entered the 'real' world and got a full time DAY shift job! As bittersweet as it is, my last day at Waynesboro was on Friday. I will deffinitely miss the ER staff that I've grown to love, but I know that this will be a good change. A hard adjustment, but a good change none the less. I have the first day jitters -- hence the reason I'm awake at 0428 and I dont have to be to work til 8:30. As long as I remain positive, I'm sure I will make this transition smoothly. Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay? :-)


James and I changed the custody arrangement around, and I'll be filing an addendum to that this week, along with our divorce papers.. FINALLY. As much as I hate 'failing' at something, I'm so glad I was strong enough to stand up to him and leave him. This divorce deffinitely will be celebrated. :-)


Hmmm.. what else.. I met the most amazing guy the other night. It was kind of crazy. Plans fell through for my visit to the Williamsport KOA Haunted House and I was complaining to this guy Zack (that I had never met) that I wasn't going to get to go and yadda yadda yadda. Next thing I know Zack called and said he'd take me, did I want to meet him or him pick me up. So I gave him my address and he came and got me. He was the sweetest thing ever. There wasn't much in the way of akward silence, and he even opened doors for me. I wasn't so sure about the whole haunted house for a first date thing.. but it seemed to go over pretty well. It gave us a reason to laugh and pick on each other (okay, him picking on me more than anything -- but I'm a good sport!). After that we headed to BreakAway II's for a couple drinks and to talk some more. Then we came home and watched Nightmare on Elm Street. And the date ended with a promise to see each other again. :-) Pretty good first date if I do say so myself!


What's to come? Wednesday is trick-or-treat at the Mall, so I think I'll take Em to that. Thursday's Waynesboros trick-or-treat, so we'll participate in that. Then it'll be Thanksgiving before ya know it..and Christmas not too long after that. My lease is up in the house in January at which time I'll be moving back to my parents house. Long term temporary move. I'll probably be at my parents house until I'm done school. No biggie... Lots is happening in our lives right now. And they're all good changes. :-)


Oh and a few pictures from pumpkin carving experience...



Until next time ♥
