We are nearing the end of February and it's still been a rough year. We've had some good things, too though so we've tried not to dwell on the negative and scary.
February 2nd we were at one of Alaina's indoor games in Fenton and Declan texted me that he had gotten pulled over. Apparently when the police officer ran his plates it didn't show as registered to him. He told Declan he needed to go to the DMV to get that straightened out.
I did the kids' taxes at the beginning of February and Declan's were rejected. The social security from his W2 didn't match what the SSA had on file for him. To be fair, the last digit was really difficult to read. So we had to make a trip to the SSA office (so fun) and get that straightened out, have his employer update their records, and print a new W2 with the correct SSN.
Pat went to court for the incident with Dipper and paid the fine. We got our fence and Dipper was confused at first why he couldn't see any of his "friends" when they barked. They put the fence up so quickly and it's so nice, I must say.
There were some things that happened with Pat's work that had us a little worried but we're trusting God and continuing to do the right thing.
My birthday was wonderful. I took the day off, had an eye exam so I could get more contacts, got a free Starbucks drink, free Chick Fil A, and a free cookie from Crumbl. I read most of the afternoon and then all 4 of us went to dinner at Tony's on Main Street (thanks Uncle John and Tammie). It was so nice to all go out to dinner together. Afterwards we stopped by my parents house and had cake with them. Alaina was sweet and made, iced, and decorated my birthday cake all by herself! I was given gifts from Pat, Alaina, Declan, my parents, and Pat's dad and step-mom. It was just a really great day and I am grateful to have that time with family <3
We visited a new church, Alaina visited a new youth group, we've watched countless indoor soccer games, and we even watched the super bowl this year. Overall it's been eventful but I'm glad to have my family by my side through it all.
