Happy Holidays!

I ran out of time for Christmas cards so in lieu of getting some fantastic mail, here it is!

Gma and Papa

I kind of forgot about these photos until Gma called me yesterday asking about them. Aren't my grandparents cute! Just thought I would share that with you :)

sleepy

i can't ever seem to go to bed on time :(
today at lunch i felt like someone had shot me in the ass with a tranquilizer not because my butt hurt or anything but because i had to fight off sleep that badly.
and now it is 1030pm and i'm still on the computer.
i need to go to sleep earlier.
soon.
maybe after new years?
probably after i'm 60 years old.
poo.

One Year Ago Today

I promise to stand with you and not against you

I will be honest, patient and forgiving

I promise to be your friend, to laugh, smile, and cry with you

I will not be afraid to compromise

I promise to trust you in all things

But most of all I will always care for you and love you.

One year ago today I married my Max. My wonderful Max. Not a day goes by where I don't thank my lucky stars that I got such an amazing husband. I love you Max very, very much. :)

8 Months

I think Axton's growth spurt happened last month... he definitely seems to have simmered down in the growing department. He was head down at Caitlin's last doc appointment so he is getting ready to come out! Caitlin has his room just about ready and we are very very very ready to meet this little fella!

ass bank girls :)

Oh how I love my ass bank girls :) I miss them so much you have no idea! Today we met up for some supper at B-dubs to catch up and it was wonderful! I really love these ladies. Except for the 2 in the front, we were all very very very close coworkers and I'm so glad we have stayed in touch. Shauna (the one in front on the left) was a customer at the bank and JW of course is JW! I'm so happy that I found such good friends like these girls :) They really are very special to me.... *sniff* They also said I would never put this pic up since it takes me forever to do anything but haha, here it is!

cute as a button!

I'm probably pretty prejudice but I have got 2 of the cutest nieces around. CUTE!

Miss Audrey Maria

Age: 1 month shy of 3 years old

Miss Stella Anne

Age: 1 month (1 week in this photo though :) )

smells like...

Yesterday was kind of rough because I was not feeling so well. I went home after a long day at work (without JW :( ), ate some supper and took a bath. I mean a real long bath. I have to catch up on all that time without one! Max finally kicked me out of there so I got ready for bed and finished my book. I came down to say goodnight to my honey bunny and what does he tell me?
M- You smell like sick
J- What exactly does sick smell like?
M- (something like) not good
I didn’t realize that sick had a smell? I know that when you are sick and you haven’t showered or bathed in a while you can develop the smell of a sweaty lazy person but as I just got out of a delightful bath with some nice female smelling bubble bath, I wouldn’t believe that I smelled bad. I guess perhaps Max’s brain invented a smell that only he can detect that is associated with being ill. I still love him. Even if he said I smelled like sick.
