You have no idea how stressful it is trying to look for a better place to live in a small town.. for a family of five. Tonight I've been continuing my search online for a rental around town that is cheaper and more reasonable for the price. That is aside from all the goodness in today. this morning, I finally got to see him. We hung out here at my place and the atmosphere was so casual. By the time he came, I had chocolate-chip pancakes ready for him. When we were in the kitchen, everyone started waking up and we all crowded in the kitchen. He gets along well with my family, especially with my brother, which makes me exceptionally happy. I greeted my mom for her birthday and my brother cracked jokes every now and then. Acknowledging religious differences, I didn't want Jacob to feel uncomfortable. We didn't have decor all over the place or anything, so that was a little more settling. It really makes me happy inside that he get's along with my family - even my dad! Pa doesn't say anything bad or negative about him and knowing my dad, it's a sign that he accepts him. For the majority of the morning we watched shows about plastic surgery and fat camp, cuddled on the couch, arm in arm. Goodness, that was hilarious! I'm very comfortable with the idea of spending a casual morning doing nothing with him. 
As the day went on and he had left, my mother's celebration continued to grow. Afte
r a nap, I went with the sister to buy a card and candles. For everything that we've been planning
for her birthday, I've been choosing options that would make her feel younger. For example, at the store, I wanted to find a card that said Happy 15th instead of a mature, elegant car
d. Make her smile, yknow? This has been the first year where I really put in effort to give her a great birthday, showing her that I love her. Last night, I made the cake. Today, I had everyone write a little message in the card instead of just signing their name. I really hope she enjoyed how this birthday turned out as I am with this entire day.
