update stuff

So, I haven't posted anything on here for a long time. Probably because I forget I have a blog!! I only check it when someone asks me if I've read their blog or not. That's when I remember I have one, too! haha....
The biggest update right now is that we've moved in with Mark's family to save money. It's not the funnest thing, or what we ever wanted to do, but if we ever want to go anywhere else for school (which we DO!) then we had to do something. It took me a while to pack the apartment because we weren't sure if someone would be able to take it on that short of notice, but someone FINALLY did and at that point we had 5 days to get everything done! ha ha... Since Mark's got school and work, he wasn't able to help out much with the packing part. So time consuming! We took at least 5 carloads of stuff to DI. I'd say about 15 garbage bags full of stuff, and a couple pieces of furniture that wouldn't sell. I sold a few things on www.craigslist.org, though, and earned some money that way! We've got everything here in our bedroom, so we're a little packed but it's not too bad. Titus has his own little corner with his crib that's blocked off so he can't see us. Good thing there are 2 doors to the bedroom so he thinks he's in his own room.

Titus now has 4 teeth. 2 on the top, 2 on the bottom. His top teeth are SO far apart you could probably fit another tooth in there. I'm not sure if that's normal or not, but it's sure cute. He looked like a jack-0-lantern this Halloween. He's getting SO big!! At his last appointment, he was 22.5 lbs and 29" long. That was a little over a month ago, so who knows how big he is now! He's got a bigger carseat now and he loves it. We can't wait to turn him around to face forward. He has to much fun exploring and getting into everything. He really likes socks... that aren't his own. When he finds socks on the ground, he picks them up and plays with them. A new favorite toy! He would rather have bare, freezing feet than wear a pair of socks, and quickly taught himself how to take them off. That's been fun.... I think we've lost a couple socks already this week somewhere between here and upstairs!! He still isn't walking. He walked a lot before he got sick, then he was sick for 2 weeks and hasn't really walked much since then. I don't mind too much that he doesn't walk yet, I just don't like that he stopped progressing. He'll get there, though!!

Mark and I are both donating plasma so save some money for Christmas and for our saving. It's actually not too bad! I thought I'd be a wuss and cop out after once, but it wasn't bad. I don't mind doing it, and $50 extra buck a week is nice! $100 if we both go do it twice a week. I'm saving lives and getting paid for it!

I'm getting excited for Christmas already. While packing and cleaning the apartment to move out, I listened to a really good Christmas CD and got in the mood. I love Christmas and everything that comes with it! I've already done some of my shopping because I'm so excited. I wish Christmas was once a month. :)
