They are home!....Finally

Something you should know about me, I hate when plans change...or in this case, planes. Why does that have anything to do with this post? WELL John & his daughter were flying home Sunday, they were supposed to be making it home by 11pm John called me after they had been flying from Phoenix and said "well, we landed, in Phoenix" WHAT THE? I thought he was tricking me for a minute, or that maybe I lost track of all his flights... He fell asleep, but apparently after they had left Phoenix, and was MINUTES away from the destination they decided to turn around and go back to Phoenix. Are you kidding me? Wouldn't you just go to your closest destination if you were having trouble instead of flying all the way back. I mean really? Why? I was so frustrated, and so was he. Anyway, they ended up getting home at 2 AM on Monday, and poor John had to work at 5 AM.   The next morning I woke her up and took her to her Grandma's for the day Surprisingly, she was really comfortable with me, I was so glad When I picked her up that day she greeted me with open arms & a big hug She had made me all these cute drawings and notes I might of teared up a little while reading them So sweet! After her dad got home we went to the park She hates pictures & it was hard to get a good one here's one of the many failed attempts (she wanted to hold Chance) but I finally got her to smile for this one Isn't she beautiful?        That night I realized how different our life was with a kid We didn't come home & sit on the couch and cuddle, we played dolls & had bath time We didn't cook one dinner, we cooked two John & I didn't fall asleep together, I laid next to her until she fell asleep which wasn't until about midnight, so I also realized that our time is now her time.   The amount of time we sleep What we eat Where we go What movie we watch When I get to give my fiance a kiss after a long day It's all up to her   and honestly...I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm sure it will get more challenging, yet more rewarding The night ended with her saying "Jessica, I hope you'll be my step-mom forever" I should have recorded that for the days she might hate me... haha I love John, but both of them together are the best thing that's ever happened to me.   I'm so blessed to be a part of their lives. We only get to see her so often, but I will cherish these moments we spend together as a family I love being her step-mom

Highlights of the Kirk's weekend

This weekend went by way too fast, like most do, but we enjoyed the beautiful weather that god has blessed us with!

It was 70-80 degrees all weekend with a slight breeze so I tried to spend a lot of time outside.

Down the street from us is a walking park, I wanted to enjoy the weather so I took our dog Chance for a little "mile" walk. 3 laps is considered a mile at this park, and my dog was about to give up on the 2nd lap. Hilarious. Poor little guy...

I tried running...and realized I still hate it, and I'm too out of shape.

Chance also hated that idea...

Anyway, I got a little picture happy with my iPhone, everything looked so beautiful!!
