Little Miracle

As I promised I am writing one final blog before I head off to California in the morning. I should be finalizing my packing, but what the hey why not blog instead. This will have to satisfy you for over a week since I won't be back in Ohio until next Wednesday evening.

So lets get into the weekend....Friday was a day off for me and I spent it going to lunch with my sister, to pick up some clothes I wanted to borrow, and dropping some lunch off to Ando while I waited for a dub to be finished. I needed something dubbed for work so I asked Ando to do it for me and he obliged. After finishing up with Ando I came home to work in the yard a little. I also needed to clean the house, but it was supposed to rain on Saturday so I figured I could clean the house then.

That night Mo had graduation and Jenster was getting her hair cut by her sister. I wanted it to be a pretty low key night since we just had two bar nights in a row and we did with a grill out between the three of us, Teed, Ando & I. Everyone went home early as well.

I was awoken Saturday morning by the sound of my phone ringing. It was my parents telling me they had some bad news about the reception hall we picked. They went out to put the deposit down on the hall, that we were told was available May 16, but when they got there the guy told them it was all booked. Why would he tell us it was available numerous times when clearly it wasn't. Why can't people be more organized and know what it going on? Ando and I had to go back out to look at another place they have on the property that is older and stands alone. This is not what I had planned for my Saturday at all. I wanted to clean the house, but I guess not.

When we got out there we had to wait for the guy to show us the place for quite some time. By this point I was so annoyed with the whole situation I just wanted to get it over with. There were some differences between the two places, but what were we going to do at this point. It wasn't bad enough to start the whole reception shopping process over again. We decided to go with the place and make the best of the situation and what we have. No comments on how bad this place it, we will class it up a little to make it perfect. There is a little patio outside that a few people at a time can enjoy. We are going to put some tables and decorations out there as well. I hope some people use this area.

After a crazy morning that I wasn't prepared for I did get some cleaning in before having to head to work. I hate working Saturday nights and don't know how much longer I can take this situation. I hope we hire a part-timer soon so I won't have to work so many Saturday nights. I didn't even do anything on Saturday night because I was so frustrated with work. Ando did make me play a little Grand Theft Auto IV on the new XBox 360 so I got to beat a few people up and run over them with my car. Who knows I may even stick with it and have a little fun playing a completely ridiculous game.

Sunday Jenster, Ando and I had planned on going on a bike ride at Miami Whitewater. We got to the park around 11:15 and headed for the 8 mile loop. Well, actually Jenster had to go to the bathroom first. And then Ando put sunscreen on so he needed to wash his hands. I felt like I was on an outing with my kids. Just kidding guys!

No one wanted to lead the pack so I took it upon myself. I don't know if I went too slow for everyone, but no one else wanted to lead so it was the pace we had. When we finished Jenster had a message on her phone from Teed about them heading to the hospital. Ando and Jenster couldn't get signal in the park so I called Teed on my phone. Mo's water had broken earlier in the morning so they headed to the hospital to have a child. Teed had frantically set up the crib in the babies room and put some sheet on, but that is all that got accomplished before they went to the hospital. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

The three of decided to head to Mo and Teed's house to try and set up a few more things for them so they wouldn't have so much to do when they got home. I felt like we couldn't do as much as I wanted, but I also didn't want to step on any toes and set things up wrong or not how they wanted. I guess any little bit helps right. Sorry, guys if we over stepped or you don't like how we set up the rest of the furniture or divided the baby clothes and supplies.

Little baby Taca was born around 9:30 pm, 6 Lbs. 3 oz., I guessed it wouldn't be till 10 am the next day, Jenster had 3 am and Ando was the closest with 11 pm that same day. Teed called to tell us just before I left for my soccer game. I wasn't in the mood to go to the game, but went anyway. It ended up being a good game because we won 7-0. I also won't be able to go to the next two games because I'll be out of town this week and at a graduation party the next.

It was a fun weekend, except for the work part, and a little one joined our world, three and a half weeks early. I hope you all enjoy the pictures of Taca and me holding my first baby. Yes, I held Taca everyone and didn't even drop her.

I got to hold a baby for the first time; No little one on the way for me.
