Bieber Fever

By the way, Harper just loves Justin Bieber.  Her favorite song is Baby.  I am not really sure how it all happened.  At one point, she asked me if Justin Bieber was a real person.  (Yes, Harper.  Justin is a real boy.)  Harper rocks some of his t-shirts, owns a singing Bieber doll, has watched his videos on Youtube and runs around belting out his songs...every day.  I am not complaining.  We recently rented his movie Never Say Never and let me just tell you:  It is a MUST see!  No joke.  It is a remarkable story about a very talented little boy, raised by his young single mother.  The movie made me laugh, sing and cry (yes, cry.)  There is so much I love about this story.  At the end of the day, it isn't just about Justin.  It is about a teen mom doing the best she can.  It is about grandparents loving a little boy regardless of the situation surrounding his birth.  It's about a young manager with little to no experience believing in the talent of a twelve year old boy.  It is also about a little boy who has a dream and never gave up.

Harper and I have The Fever.
We are Beliebers.
It's true.

Harper's World Is About To Look A Whole Lot Different....

No pictures this post.  We got a new-to-us computer and I am still learning the ropes, plus...we are packing to move in just four short weeks!  After almost a year, our house sold and we found a house in Fulton.  Just in time too.  I think Chris had grown tired of the long commute both physically and mentally.  I got a taste of the single parent life, which I had grown tired of.  So off we go...

Harper finishes up Pre-K the day before our scheduled closing.  This phase of our lives will be bittersweet on so many levels:  leaving Rochester and Harper moving from 'pre-school' to real school are really just for starters.  Those who know me well realize that I have grown to depend on the accessibility of certain cultural outlets.  I fear for my sanity in a place that seems to lack everything except a stagnant economy.  Fortunately, our new home will have plenty of yard (over one acre!) and updating (built and decorated in 1984!) to distract me for a little while.  Maybe, just maybe, I'll enter the workforce again.

Skies the limit!  Pictures to come...
