Novi's New Room
Well two weeks flew by, and it was my time to be in Chicago again. Work was so hectic the days went really fast and I needed a weekend away from Albion and all the stuff going on. I have been working on things for the WRGLC Board, my Fraternity District Formal, and some OutSight Consulting, not to mention being busy at work. So these weekends are a great break and change of pace.
This weekend Tamara was moving into a new place, and now Novali has her own room. So she was excited about the move as well. Being that I have moved once a year for the past 6 years... I know how much of a pain moving can be... but it was fun being part of the excitement of moving. I help keep Novali out of the way, and also moved my share of stuff as well. Here is a weekend recap.
Friday I arrived a little late. I was wrapping up work and getting things done to be away for three days so I hit the road a little late. The trip started out well, Speedway gave me free hot dogs... and I got a good price on gas at my Indiana border station. Good luck from the start. I got there and she was getting ready for bed. We played a little, then I read her a bed time story (I love you this much), she said her prayer and went to sleep.
Saturday was fun... Novi got me up at like 7:15AM and we started playing. She put on her TV shows and started to dance. So I took some cool photos of her dancing around.
After the dance party she tried on the shoes I bought her. Last weekend Heather and I found a couple good deals on some Kenneth Cole shoes for her... she now she is stylin'. I got her a pink pair of summer shoes, those are for her birthday and I told her we would get her a new dress as well. The other pair is a cool pair of black tennis shoes that have velcro so she can put them on herself.

While watching TV, she said she had homework to do and took out her laptop. | 
As we packed the cars, she slept before going to the new apartment. |
All Saturday was spent moving things to the new place. Novi was a big help and always offered to carry things. I had fun helping out as well, and wanted to do some cool things for Novali's room. Once the place was well settled, and the dinner hour arrived, Novi and I ran to Target. I got her a Hello Kitty Lamp, a little fun bin, and a small round decorators table for her to put things on. I wanted to get her a poster or something... but none at Target. Then we got some pizza and crazy bread and had dinner at the house. It was a relaxing night and I got to read her a story again (Chapter One - Snow White) and she went to sleep. Once she hit the hay I went out with my fraternity Brothers Vic and Rey. One of the Gammas from MSU was having a party at a club in Chicago. So we went out, wished Allison well, danced a bit and hangout. I didn't stay out late cause I know Novi would wake me early...
Sunday Novi woke me up before 7AM! We had some breakfast watching Madagascar, we both worked on our laptops. I was not able to stay late cause work at Albion is calling my name. I have to prepare for my trip to Honduras, I leave next Monday, right after Formal weekend. I am excited, it is a great trip, but it is stressful leaving since I have to help prepare the students and wrap up work so I can be gone for a week. Anyhow... in my short morning we still had fun. Novali did her first pout and went into her room and shut the door and refused to come out. It was funny... I kept knocking on the door and she would say "Go Away... ". They grow up so fast... |
Her room! Her bed. | 
All her toys... Dora Playhouse. |
Her own closet and shoe rack. | 
Her new Hello Kitty lamp. |
Now back in Albion... the drive back was not fun, snowed most of the trip. I made it back and got a lot done tonight. Have a good week everyone! |
