Today marks three years that Paul Walker passed away. It hasn't exactly gotten any easier. I know what some of you think, I never met him. But I didn't have to. His death affected me regardless. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. Though, I do have a tattoo for him that I see a lot. We miss you, Paul!
Now, on to happy stuff. Erik and I have been together for seven months now. The longest relationship I have ever been. Hopefully, it'll be the longest ever. I'm pretty confident in it. He still seems to like me, so I think I have a shot. I don't know, though. It's his choice. I hope he likes me enough.
Next thing. I think the promotion has been going well. I'm still pretty nervous about it. I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up though. I was told I would get keys in about two weeks. But, I'm not sure if I will be ready by then. I was, also, told that I need to break out of my shell a little more before I fully take on the position. I think I can be "mean" when needed. I guess stern would be the word to use, really. I'm just not 100% sure I'm going to be good at this. I know I can do it. At least, I can do it in the morning, the closing shift on the other hand. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Nov. 20, 2016
Day 10 of having this horrible cough. It's starting to hurt more and more each day. I've barely been able to sleep. Though, last night was the best sleep I've gotten in awhile. I'm hoping it'll go away soon. It's supposedly not contagious, but a lot of people have this. I'm thinking it started out as allergies and just kept getting worse thanks to this wacky weather we've been having. Maybe I'll actually go see a doctor and figure out what is going on with us. Dad thinks it's something in the house. He may be right. Guess we'll find out.
In other news, there is nothing going on. The promotion is going well, I think. Mia doesn't seem to be enjoying it. She gets upset every time I drop her off at the daycare and whenever I pick her up. She screams and cries whenever she sees me. The day care keeps saying it'll get better. But I'm not so sure about that. I know the next few days will be hard. Work has me closing one night and opening the next morning. Mia hasn't been without me at night before. Also, got most of my Christmas shopping planned out. Haven't bought very much, but it's all in wishlists and all. That way, I can easily buy it all on payday. I just have to do some shopping at TSC then I'll be all done. I'm actually really excited for this Christmas. Mia will actually be able to participate and this is the first time I've ever had a boyfriend on Christmas. It's kinda exciting. And, I'll actually have money!

Post 100!!
Look at this, everyone! Post 100. Thank you to those that have been here since the beginning. I know there may not be many of you, but I know there are some. So, to update on how this blog is doing. I have had a total of 3,638 page views since I first started this blog. Most are, of course, from the US, 3,319 views. The place with the second most views is France at 132 views. Then we've got Russia (46), Ireland (37), Portugal (37), Poland (10), Mexico (7), Ukraine (7), Australia (6), and Germany (6). I know there were other places that aren't listed because there are 31 page views not in my list. My first post was on August 27, 2014. I have now had this blog for over two years. You have been with me since announcing I was pregnant to now. Of course, I will be discussing Amelia shortly, as well as a few other things. I just wanted to say how proud I am of this blog. I originally started this as a way to make money and stay home. But, seeing as I've had this blog for two years and I've made 58 cents. It ended up being a way to get things off my chest and not have to write in a diary.
Now on to Amelia. She was supposed to start day care on the 26th, but she got the stomach flu instead. It was a rough few days. She just had to pass it on to everyone. Her, then me, then Mom and Dad, then Michaila. Thankfully, it was over within three days for all of us. She started day care on the first of this month. So far, it's been pretty good. She doesn't like it when I leave her, but the person who runs it says it only lasts about 10 minutes before she starts playing with the other kids. I normally have to pick her up during nap time, though. She doesn't like that very much. Soon that'll change though.
I finally got a promotion at work. I am now a Team Lead at my job. I am so excited but very nervous. I'm actually more nervous than anything. I don't want to mess anything up. What if I don't do well? That's what keeps going through my mind. I think I'm ready for it, but I don't want to disappoint anyone. There are some people who stuck their necks out for me to get this position and I don't want to disappoint them. I know I can do it, I just don't want to mess it up. That's the biggest issue. Besides needing a babysitter for the weekends and weeknights. Thankfully, the weekdays are taken care of. There are so many good things about this that even out the
bad. The raise, the benefits, more hours, sick days, and vacation days. I could, possibly, afford to move out. I could actually afford a good Christmas for Amelia. (And Erik).

Lastly, Erik and I finally hit six months of dating. Still not sure if it feels like it's been longer or shorter than that. Either way, I'm happy and I love him.
