Chapter 24

      I get to go hunting for a new place, because we need an extra room for the baby girl. We find one we really like that has four bedrooms. More than we need but if were buying a house why not get extra rooms. I'll never know if we're going to have another baby down the road. We put a offer on it immediately. We go back home and remember we have to go to the store for toilet paper,  shampoo & conditioner. So I go by myself to Walmart and get a little more than needed.

  Arriving at home Ella is asleep on the couch and Xander is sleeping in the recliner. I smile because I love our little family. I go put everything away and go lay down at Ella's feet. I put on the movie 'home'. and laugh the whole time until him almost dying, i cry my eyes out. Xander wakes up and brings Ella to her bed and he comes back down stairs to watch another movie with me. He orders Chinese food and watch the stupid movie he picked.

  The food arrives and Xander pays and gives the guy a 5 dollar tip, we lay the food out on the coffee table and start stuffing our face. Ella wakes up and it's around 10pm. So I go up stairs and lay down with her. I put her to sleep and get the bath ready because my stomach hurts. Xander heads to bed and I'm up all alone. I grab my phone and little at baby stuff, cause it's an addiction. I drain the water and turn the shower on, and wash my hair and body. Once I get out I brush my teeth and head to bed.

Xander looks so comfy but he's taking up the whole bed so I tell him to move but he doesn't so I start pushing him. He wakes up and flips out cause I woke up him, but hey at least he moved. I plug in my phone and go to bed.

**dream**

"Aubrey Lily Wright!" I tell.

"I want a cookie though mom." She says on her tippy toes trying to reach them.

"After dinner sweeting." I say.

"Can I have two after dinner?" She asks.

"If you have enough food for all that food." I say I take out the stake and Aubrey helps make the dinning table. She runs to the living room and tells Xander the foods done, but this house isn't the house we looked at. I know I'm sleeping but I'm still dreaming so I look around and the house is beautiful.

Xander comes to eat and I put the mash potatoes on the table with green beans and the stake. I make Aubrey's plate cutting her stake and then mine. We go around the table before eating and say what happen today that made us happy and a moment that was upsetting.

"My happy moment was eating with my wife and kid, my bad moment was I was in the grocery store and someone walked right in front of me in line and was super rude." Xander says.

"My happiness was I get to have cookies after dinner, and my bad time was i tripped at school and scratched my elbow." She says I look at the elbow it's not a big scratch so after dinner I clean it up so it doesn't get infected.

"My happiness today was a old lady payed for my nails because my card wouldn't work, my day time was my nails already chipped." I say and they both laugh.

I wake up to my wonderful dream and tell Xander all about it.
