Good morning. Another birthday has come and gone, but before we get into that, let's look at the week. Wednesday, Mia and I hung out with her BFF from Smarty Pants Olivia. They played soccer, did some chalk drawings and overall, had a lot of fun. Her brother plays real nice with Mia as well. Early in the week, the local paper, the Waukesha Freeman would interview her for contributions from her Sweets & Treats sale. She didn't really want to talk much, so I did most of the interview. Later they called Jill in hopes to get more from Mia. Thursday, she was published on the front cover! We were so proud and the woman who did the article and interview was quite impressed that this little 4-year old wanted to raise money for HAWS humane society. They even contacted HAWS to ask about the day she went in to donate. The HAWS employees raved about how sweet she was, and amazing that she was able to raise that much money selling treats. We sent out a few to some out-of-state family to share her article.
While taking our new kitten Marie, Remi and Mia to the vet solo, I got a call from the Milwaukee Torrent owner, Andi Davi. Any time I hear from him, it's always some good news. He wanted me to come up with a quick ad for a Spring 2016 friendly game Marquette vs Torrent. He also went on to tell me all the fun things that are coming soon for the team. He's a big optimist which is absolutely great. Friday, Mia FaceTimed with her friend Olivia. They had plans to hang out, but her bro got real sick so they did the best they could talking over FaceTime. It was pretty cute. Friday, Jill's parents were in the area looking at some houses. They found some real nice houses and hopefully they can find one to get an offer in. Saturday, Jill and her Mom went to the Farmer's Market while Mia and I hung out. For some reason, she woke up at 5:30AM! I haven't a clue why, but she played with the kitty before laying on the couch watching Full House. I attended the first meeting with The Flood members. The Flood is the Milwaukee Torrent's supporters group. We discussed merchandise and putting together packs and kits for fans to purchase for a good price. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to the next time we meet. It looks like we'll be quite busy getting things put together. While I was gone, Jill did a photo shoot with Mia and her kitty. The pictures turned out real nice. Later, Jill made a delicious fresh stir fry for my birthday and blonde brownies. SO good :) My parent's came over later with my sister. My sister got me a pirate Minion and my parents gave me a gift card to Stefan's. Jill's parents, her aunt as well as Jill gave me some cash to contribute towards a 1/2 sleeve tattoo. I had hopes of starting it this year, but after going over the cost of what it'll be, I'm going to wait till next year to save up the money for it. I'm nearly at $200, so I've got a good start. I watched the Chelsea vs PSG game on Youtube before my family came in. It was a tough game, but we took them down in PK's. Courtois, our Belgian keeper got the final goal defeating the Paris team. Sunday, we went to the zoo with some friends before I worked 2-10 (actual birthday) Wednesday, we'll get to hang with my best pal Jay and his little guy Caleb. I haven't seen either of them in so long, so I'm truly looking forward to it. Later, Mia will have her last day of swim and the other parents are allowed IN to the pool area to watch. Very excited about it. Not sure what are the plans for the weekend yet. That's all for now. Thanks for reading.
