Valentine's Day Surprise

Valentine's Day this year was the best one ever. I woke up in the morning to having my dad tell me that my sister had her baby. And to my surprise it was another girl. Now I have four nieces and one nephew. Her name is Adelise Joy and she was born at 4:32 am on Feb. 14, 2012. She weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 inches long. I saw her for the first time the next day and she was adorable.

When I got to work that day the time clock told me, "Happy Anniversary." I was three years at my job on Feb. 14, 2012. I can't believe it! And my raise went into effect that day too so that is a plus. I worked a short shift that day and got off at 3pm.

After work I went  home and starting getting ready for a fun night out. I went on a double date with a nice guy I'm dating and my dad and his girlfriend. We had dinner at a nice German restaurant called The Rathskeller and then went to a Valentine's Day Dance and Concert with the Indianapolis Jazz Orchestra at the Athenaeum downtown. We danced, listened to live jazz music, and had a great time.

It was definitely the best Valentine's Day ever. And the next day was pretty good too. I took my three older nieces to the Children's Museum with my aunt. We had fun exploring the new Mr. Potato Head exhibit, a few other exhibits, and playing together. I even treated everyone to ice cream after lunch. When we went home we all got to visit the new baby and all took turns holding her.

Since then I've been busy working and helping take care of my brother who had his wisdom teeth taken out last week. And I've gotten back into the diet for the most part and I've been exercising more. Last Sat. I danced for three hours while playing a dance video game at a game night at a friend's house. And last night I worked out for an hour at a gym with a friend. Yesterday, I also cooked greens and made bean burritos. So I'm getting back on track with my health again.

I will try to keep my updates on here coming at least once a week if not more. But you know how life can sometimes get crazy. And when it does that's when I try to slow down and then write about it. So here's to living life, dancing, dieting, and then writing about it. ;-)
