that familiar itch

Oh blog, how I've missed you so. As I wrote on my twitter the other day, my fingers have been itching to blog. I actually have quite a bit to write about. I'm not sure if it will all fit into one post; I may have to make a two part entry.

I guess a good place to start will be about my keyboard. About a week ago I ordered a keyboard from Walmart and it FINALLY came yesterday morning. I've already learned Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the main chords for the song 'Who Am I to Say' by Hope. It's the song I'm going to play with Sara before she leaves to go to the air force. I am so extremely excited to finally be learning to play the piano. I've been wanting to learn for years now, but I lacked the motivation. I actually have a goal set now. I'm going to try to learn the basics before my birthday in December, because when I move out Brandon and I are going to form a metal band. I'm actually very excited about it.

As for this past week, I spent Wednesday - Friday at my mom's house. My sister Emily and I went to the midnight premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. It was lots of fun, but also sad. It's basically the end of an amazing era and a huge part in my life.  I'm happy I got to spend some time with my little brother and sister. I don't get to see them very often and I feel like I'm missing everything in their lives. My baby brother isn't much of a baby anymore. He's so smart and he thinks independently. I was shocked. But I guess that's what happens when you don't see someone for a couple month's at a time. Once I move out and I have a car, I'm going to try to go visit them at least once a week.


Today was amazing, as it's the first day in seven months that Brandon saw his daughter Scarlett. She is absolutely beautiful and she looks just like him. As of right now, her favorite toy is the singing cow and the singing seahorse. She loves the pears and cinnamon baby food and isn't quite fond of baby cereal. She is very mellow for an infant and hardly cried at all today. She got fussy for all of 30 seconds and Brandon gave her the pacifier. As soon as it was in her mouth, she fell completely asleep - right in his arms. It was so amazing seeing him be a father. To see him be apart of his child's life after seven months of having to fight for her.
