Grandma Visiting!

Here is a picture of my son with his Grandma and one with my husband, my mother in-law, and my son.  She came and visited us for only a week. She lives in Texas with her husband and their youngest son. They couldn't make it down here this time. She was so amazed that we could watch fireworks so closely for the 4th of July. She said that she might make it a tradition to come down every year for the 4th of July since she had so much fun. And she said, maybe next time she will bring her youngest son because he loves fireworks. We were happy to have her visit. Shawn rarely gets to see her so it was really nice for him to be able to spend some time with her. We will be seeing them soon for Thanksgiving. We are planning to fly up to Texas and visit them. They have a tradition where everyone in their family fly out and meet up at some one's house and has Thanksgiving dinner. Shawn has not been able to meet all of his family on my husband's side so that will be very cool for him. And I haven't either so it will be nice for me too. :) 

Be Aggressive!

I guess I have always known that I had a low self esteem and that I don't give myself enough credit for the things I do. I always think that I am not any good at anything and don't usually get praised for my work. I have to say that since I have had my new supervisor at my job for about two years, she has complimented and praised me more often then anyone has ever done. She also has been very honest with me. Today she pulled me in and we had a talk about some things she noticed and wanted to inform me. She wanted to let me know that she did see how hard I worked and that she noticed that I I was a team player. That made me really happy to know. She also wanted me to work on somethings like being more aggressive and assertive with my decisions at work. I tend to question myself and others because I like to make sure I cover my grounds so I don't get in trouble. I guess that is a weakness and an area I need to work on. She did bring up a good point that if I wanted to get promoted, I would have to have those qualities and be able to handle situations on my own. So that is going to be my new project. I am going to work on being more aggressive and making decisions without questioning it unless I really don't know the answer. I will start carrying myself as a confident and assertive person. It will be hard but I really do want people to see that I am capable of handling anything. I don't want to be looked at as a person that doesn't know what she is doing and is not a strong person. So I will be working extra hard and will be researching on how I can change myself. Wish me luck!

How Exciting!

Well, I just found out that my mother in-law is coming to visit us for a week. :) We have not seen her since my husband and I got married. So we have lots to catch up on and she will have some time to spend with my son. And also, my brother in-law will be in town and his girlfriend is coming to visit from Washington. So we will have a fun weekend ahead of us. We are planning to have a BBQ on Friday for the 4th of July. Haven't decided on what we will do for the weekend but I'm sure it will be fun. I will take lots of pictures and post them up.

Oh, the OC Fair is going to be here on July 11th! Hooray! I am so excited. I love the fair. We go every year. I mostly like the food and shopping. My son likes the rides. My husband likes the food and the rides. I think he even likes the shopping. Hehee :) Cant wait to go!
