Don't Stop Believein'

Ahh, I know that like everyone and their brother loves this song, but I just have to put it out there that I love it too! I do love the original, Journey is amazing! - but there is just something about the cover by Glee Cast that is just intoxicating! Speaking of songs, another one of my latest favorites is "No Yo Me Doy Por Vencido" by Luis Fonsi I added the video for you to enjoy! For those of you that do not speak Spanish it translates to "I do not give up" :) Pretty much story of my life.

Yesterday was Father's Day. :) Dominic's first. Ahh, it was very sweet. I spent the day/afternoon with my dad, and then when Dominic got off of work we spent the evening together. It was so nice! And, I had lamb for the first time - delish! :))

Today I talked to my cousin Georgia, she and I are probably the closest of all my cousins. And I love it :) She's the one who took me to England/Wales/Ireland for my 18th birthday. Anyway, we are going to see Harry Potter together! yay! It's basically tradition.

Today was the start of my last Summer school class. It doesn't seem to bad, actually it's quite refreshing after my last one! (rolls eyes) And the prof is so sweet, she's actually making an effort to get to know us, and she loves hearing about our lives :)

Tomorrow I'm going to get a mani/pedi - so excited! I haven't been in quite a while! Dominic's mom gave me a nail gift certificate for Mother's day, and it's about time I put it to use. I want to get my toenails really cute, not sure what, but some cool, crazy pattern, or a bright, fun color is what I'm craving. These are pretty cute :)

So I Took The Weekend Off,

I thought I deserved it, seeing as it was my first Mother's Day! Oh, and it was a great one! I had such a nice time with my family..and I love that I am a mother, it's such an incredible feeling :) My brother, Matthew, made me the sweetest wall plaque, which he painted himself. And he wrote a card that said "I know you're not my mother, but you are a great mother to Kaelyn, Happy Mother's Day!" awww, makes my heart melt :))

In other news, I start school tomorrow, I have my first ever online class, which should be interesting, and I've got Spanish 4 nights a week. Blah. lol. I am excited about my Spanish class though, I'm minoring in good ol Espanol, so it shouldn't be too difficult. The online class may be a toughie though, it's History..and me and history go together like peanut butter and pickles...

Today Dominic and I heard a REAL laugh from Kaelyn, it was sooo sweet. Last week I was playing with her and she had little gurgles and giggles, and I was soo excited, and then today Dominic and I were playing with her and I tickled her and she laughed and laughed...oh it was precious. I think both of us were on the edge of tears. She's incredible. End of story.

Well, that's all for tonight I suppose, I've gotta be up early to take care of my little stinker

till next time ...xo.

Mother's Day is coming up!

I am going to blow my mom's mind this mother's day :) I got her the cutest Coach charm bracelet, and she is totally obsessed with that brand right now. Score: Tori 1. Anyway, as for Mother's day, this is my first! That's so exciting. Although Kaelyn is obviously too young to help me celebrate, I am going out to lunch with the moms in Dominic's family, and I am really excited. Yay!

In other news, Kaelyn laughed for the first time yesterday! I have yet to get her to do it again, but I was tickling her and she distictly giggled twice! Oh the joys of having an infant :) I know it's odd, but I feel very proud of her when she smiles or laughs or even holds her head on her own. It must be hard, having a body and not knowing how to hold it or what to do with it. But she is growing and learning so fast, and it just makes me proud.


I've been really missing Dominic lately, it seems like he's always at school, and although he's had his work hours cut back, I just still feel he's not around enough. That said, every free moment we are together, and I thank God for that. I just don't want him to miss out on Kaelyn, like I said, she's growing so fast.

That's all that's on my mind for now...who knows when the next post will be

Til next time...xo.
