I still think of her as little. Like when I look at clothes for her, I’ll pick something up that’s 3-6 months or something and think it looks about right, until I hold it up to her. She’s just not a baby anymore. 
And she’s looking more and more like Chris everyday.
Chris has been out of town so we’re doing all kinds of things to take our minds off the fact that he’s gone. We went to lunch with Ma and Da at Olive Garden yesterday, and then had shrimp on the barbie with Grandmommy and Grandpa for dinner. In between eating, we strolled the mall. Gracie collected some neat things, including mints from Mont Blanc, 2 Clinique lip glosses, a sample bottle of Curve perfume, and three lollipops from Lancome. I don’t know why, but people are just drawn to her and feel like they need to give her something. Of course, she is happy to oblige.
Today we took all the tokens we’ve been saving and cashed them in at Chuck E Cheese. We didn’t eat there, we just spent an hour and a half playing games and winning tickets. Then we came home for grilled cheese. I’m cheap. But it was super fun.
Tomorrow we’ll be having a tea party with Ma at a tea room. Gracie’s already excited about picking out a pretty dress to wear. I love, love, love the fact that she’s so girly. And Thursday night I’m going to the SPA with my young breast cancer survivor group! Aaaaah, I’ve been waiting FOREVER for Thursday to get here! Massage, wine, snacks, facials, etc for $5! I’m so excited!
OH– I forgot to tell you all! Chris got a new job! He starts next week at Dell! So hopefully he will just absolutely love it and make better money too. Which is good, because we’re going to have to start digging ourselves out of this medical-debt mess my cancer left for us. But…I’m alive. We can’t forget how fortunate I am, because some people are not so lucky.
Well, that’s it for today. See ya!
