FAMILY UPDATE:
Malakai has been going through some emotional struggles. It's hard for me to really know how to help him when whatever comes out of my mouth upsets him. Even when I'm trying to be nice. :/ haha Oh well. I'm trying to be there for him and all those feelings he's trying to work out right now. He's so loving and empathetic. (Besides when it involves toys and other kids ha!)
He's trying to figure out how to show his feelings but it always comes out in anger and screaming. I've read multiple websites that have tips on how to deal with an emotional child and only one has seemed to help. I'm very grateful because I'm still trying to figure out how to show my feelings, especially in my marriage. It's HARD WORK.
Khalil just turned 1 last month! I can't even believe it. Seriously, I know I am always saying that. But the having a child the second time around is just.. different. It goes by SO much faster because you're constantly busy, feeding someone, changing someones clothes. I am just in shock about how fast that one year went by! I am so grateful because she's so big and smart and loving. She says at least 8 words and actually understands them. Da-da, Ma-ma, Pa-pa, Kai, Hi, She also seriously says Hallelujah (mostly tries to hahaha it's so dang cute though.)
Divaunte and I have been going through a few little (feels big) trials. I'm so grateful for them though because we're getting even stronger than we were before. Marriage is hard work and if you're not careful it can slip out from under you. It's so crazy but I love it. He's my best friend. I get to literally go everywhere with him! I'm never alone, never un-hugged, never "goodnight"-less. He is really something. I got blessed big time. Also, he is taking 3 classes and working full-time. I can't even imagine! How awesome is he?!
Last but not least, me. I have been taking Chemistry 1110 and Sociology. I LOVE SOCIOLOGY. Those kinds of classes are my favorite. My Chemistry class has been Hell though. My teacher is so rude when I have questions that I've literally been torn between continuing and withdrawing. My heart is pointed at withdrawing even though it makes me feel a little crappy. The way my teacher "teaches" is not teaching. It's telling us the concepts and then jumping straight to more complicated problems of that concept without any basic knowledge. I really wish I was book smart, but I'm not and it doesn't come easy at all. Anyways. My depression and anxiety has come back a little ever since this class started and I don't like it. So peace out Chemistry. I'm going to go focus on Virginia Beach living. :)
