no longer a mommy :(

yesterday i gave cooper over to her new daddy. i'm really sad about it but i just really did not have the time to spend with her that she needed and deserved. the guy seemed pretty nice and i think it'll be the best thing for her. i'm such a ninny and started crying as i handed her over to him. it was weird coming home later that day and not having her race to the door to meet me... agh, but besides that it was a stupid day yesterday and i'm glad it's over. anyway, it was the first day back to class for me after spring break. can i just say i'm so ready for summer??
marlee gets married this friday! yaaayyy :D so i'll be down in florida (AGAIN!) this weekend. but i'm excited. can't wait to see my dress all put together. annnnd i'm excited to ride back home with austin and laura. 5 whole hours with my lovely friend who i haven't spent much time with in wayyy too long!!

march!

for one thing, i'm really sick of being cold. so hooray for good times weather this weekend!
for another, last weekend was a terrible one. i went to charleston to stay with tara for the night and felt like a scared mother for the first time in my life. i brought cooper with me and while we went to publix i put her in her kennel and left her in the garage. i felt kind of weird about it and thought maybe we should close the garage door. anyway, she ended up getting out of her kennel and i had somebody call me (i.e. drunken neighbor from new years) asking if i had a black lab named cooper. worst feeling ever. so anyway, saturday morning i drove to florida to get fitted for my bridesmaid dress for marlee's wedding. i love the geralds so of course that was nice being there. but on my way back home, before i even got on the interstate, i got in a wreck. i was paying attention to cooper and didn't see the person in front of me stop. excellent. of course i was shakey and crying anyway bc i know how terrible getting hit is but when we pulled into a parking lot i saw her go to her backseat and pull out a baby. i lost it and started bawling. by the time i finally got back on the road to go home i think it took me about an hour to actually calm down. ugh. so now i have an awesome $150 ticket and $500 deductible to pay. sooo that's fun.
anyway, i'm ready for spring break. although, i'm not really sure why bc i'm working 8:30-5 every day. but it'll be nice i guess...
