I have this friend

So I have this friend, let's call her Shmebie. She is a good friend. Problem is, Shmebie, she disappeared on me a little while ago. I call her, even leave messages for her but she never answers her phone, never returns my calls. She doesn't even email me. I miss her dearly. I want to know how she is. I want her to know that I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without her. I know she was right, believing for so long. If only she could see me now, see what I've become. I know she'd never leave me again.

Shmebie, if you're out there.. Please email me, please call me. I think of you often. I miss you. I want to hear your voice. I need to know you're okay.

Sincerely,
Gekkha-Kahn

Hello, old friend

Wow. Has it really been 6 months? Have you all given up on me? I don't blame you. Hopefully if you've given up, something will bring you back and you'll see I'm here.

So much has happened in the last 6 months. London turned 4 in February, Adelaide turned 2 in March and Porter is currently 7 months old. On the day Porter turned 7 months he sprouted his first tooth! He's always been a very vocal, chatty baby. Quite some time ago he discovered how to blow raspberries and it continues to be one of his favorite things to do. He absolutely LOVES attention and gets so excited when people talk to him. He is rolling around like crazy, scooting himself all over the place and flirting with the idea of crawling (emphasis on the word idea). It seems like it might be a while before he crawls though, and that is okay with me. Keep them immobile for as long as possible! London loves making Porter laugh and Porter just adores his older brother. Everything London does is funny to him. And Adelaide, she just wants to do everything her older brother does. So far London doesn't seem to mind but I know he will soon. She will at that moment become the annoying little sister her mother once was. Adelaide is also a great big sister to Porter. She is starting to want to help give him a bottle and feed him his baby food. She's going to be a helpful big sister! London has also been enrolled in preschool (YAY!) and will begin in September 3 days a week, 3 hours a day. At this point I'm more excited about it than he is.

As for me, well, I'm just going crazy, one kid at a time. I cater as much as I can, which hasn't been much since November. But I do have a job coming up on May 20th (for about 70 people). I'm excited to be working again! I also will be making the cake for my friend's wedding in July. That I am totally stoked about. I've really been wanting to get into cakes (mostly specialty cakes for parties, I can't handle the pressure of weddings!), so this is a great start in that direction! I also have officially named my company (Sweet Girl Catering - after my sweet little girl) and my website should be up and running within the next couple days (thanks to my wonderful husband). We're also working on new business cards and brochures. Sweet! In the next year I'll also be catering a cocktail party of 30 people. I donated my services to a local elementary school's auction. It guarantees me some work, can't beat that (plus, you know, tax right off!).

I'm also getting way more involved in our church. God has been calling me into doing something with our women's ministries, exactly what we'll have to wait and see. I'm just excited for God to use me in the lives of those women. He's already started some things happening and they've been such a huge blessing to me. It's an exciting time!

Gabe keeps super busy as our church's worship director and teaching guitar lessons. He consistently has 40-45 students. As hard as he works, he plays with our kids as much as he can and gives me the breaks I need. I'm one blessed girl.

So that's the jist of it. I want to post some pictures and keep this bloggy-blog more updated, so make sure you're checking back regularly.
