Happy Thanks-forgiving!

According to Matthew, yesterday was Happy Thanks-forgiving day! :) Hope everyone had a great time with family and friends. Our dinner was very good.

No Black Friday shopping for me at crazy hours of the night, I'm not into all of that, I can't stand the craziness!

Matthew's Mommy is Getting Married




That's right. I'm getting married. Matthew's dad, Sean, and I have had a bit of an off and on relationship for about 7 years now. He has always been around when I have needed him. He was there when I got the diagnosis for Matthew's mild Autism. He was also there when I didn't get the diagnosis and had put Matthew through some rigarous testing. He's been there for birthdays, holidays, movies, conferences, other various doctor appointments etc. I always told myself, I can do this on my own just fine, but a little help would be nice. I had decided that I would NEVER put Matthew into another man's life. He is too precious and special to me. No other guy would ever understand my situation. I have never dated anyone else since Sean I originally broke up before Matthew was even born.




So during the fall of 2009, Sean and I decided we would be together forever, one happy family. Matthew loves spending time with both of his parents. He has really come a long ways with Sean in his life as well.
Sean proposed to me with Matthew at his side on March 17th of this year and we are getting married March 17th, 2012.

Summer Happenings






Over the summer, we were fortunate enough to take 2 mini vacations during the break I had between Summer and Fall classes at school.






First we went to the Omaha Zoo on August 15th, and then we went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on August 21st.






Both Matthew and Phoenix had a great time at both. They really enjoyed the big zoo compared to the zoo we have in Sioux Falls.






Matthew was not scared to ride the SkyFari thing they have at the Zoo either, which looks like a ski lift and takes you about 30-40 feet above the zoo.





Phoenix also had the opportunity to take a picture with Cpt. Jack Sparrow! :)
