Year Stats

Evelyn had her year doctor appointment today. Can you believe it? A year already? Here is a rundown of her stats.
Height: 30.5 in, 89%
Weight: 19 lb 13 oz, 51%
Head Circumference: 43.5 cm, 15%
Her birthday was on Saturday and we had fun during the day just me and her hanging out. That night, Andy, E, and I went to the Utah State Fair and had fun going to some shows and eating food we probably shouldn't, but justify because you only go to the fair once a year.
We had a family party on Sunday to celebrate her and Andy's birthday with my family and my grandparents. Evelyn was a crankpot because church is during her naptime, which means she doesn't get a nap normally. She had fun with her little cupcake though and she stuffed it in her mouth. It was adorable. She got socks, pjs, clothes, and a teddy bear.

Andy had his birthday two days before Evelyn's. He had to work that day, but when he got home, he opened presents and ate a dinner I actually made for him. Go me! He got movie passes, deodorant, money, and Swiss Cake Rolls. We're pretty lavish with our gift giving around here. Ha. I hope they had good days, because I love them both a whole bunch.

Maybe I'll get around to posting pics. Maybe...

A Poem by Andy

The Car Lot

Once upon two months, so dreary, while I slaved so weak and weary

Over many curt and jaded customers, beckoned to my showroom floor

While I prodded, nearly begging, suddenly there came a dreading,

as if all my dreams were heading, heading out my office door.

Only this and nothing more.

Ah, distinctly I remember it was on a Chrysler fender

Where I pointed out the ding that made my customer uproar.

Eagerly, I wished the morrow, vainly, I had sought to borrow

from my happy place to harrow, harrow up my pride, now sore.

For the rare and radiant placement in an office with a door.

My nameplate here, forevermore.

And the stressful, sad, uncertain rustling of each credit application

Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before

So that now, to still beating of my head, I stood repeating,

Three bankruptcies and four collections, zero down, and you want more?!

"You will never get approved, take your kids, return no more."

This is it, and nothing more. 

Presently my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer,

Dave! said I, or Morgan! Truly your forgiveness I implore

But the fact is I'm not happy, so my future I'll be mapping

Elsewhere where I'll keep my conscience and my ethics past the door 

Onto a brighter future waiting, for the job I won't be hating

And to the dealership I'm saying, "So long sucker's!"

"Nevermore."
