Birthdays Are Fun

This is my dearest grandma. My only grandma in my family still living. She celebrated her birthday yesterday and all of our family came down to celebrate with her. It was super nice and super hot too. I'm telling you now that I know I am not going to like this Texas summer this year, I can feel it lol.

Anywho I wanted to make sure I got pics of everyone! This is a big deal. We don't get together often so snatching some pics was a priority lol.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love my family. I mean it probably goes without saying, but I love them very much. I've known all of these crazy people my whole life! Kendra wanted to be in almost every picture, that is why you keep seeing her in random photos lol.

It was all fun until I had to go to work and start my new job. Boooo lol. I always have to leave for work. Ah well. Better luck next time.

Milestones + Walking Dead Update

I was so proud of my lil sis walking across the stage last night to receive her diploma:

That extra small person on the track stopping to take a picture on the track, that is my sis Mercedes.

We all went out and had fun taking pictures and talking. Some stuff made me laugh though. Like the speeches the valedictorian and salutatorian make. I don't even remember what the ones from mine said 5 years ago. Omg I feel so old when i mention how long it's been since I have been out of high school.

This really brought back memories though. I almost wished I was back in high school. Seeing everybody in there awkwardness, not being so dern shy. It's hard to believe but I didn't say too much to anyone else except my besties when I was in high school. The besties would have you believe otherwise and tell you I was a loud mouth that forever talks lol. I smile and wave to anyone and everyone now. Coulda used that back then ugh!

Walking Dead Update

I am on the 9th episode of season 2. I didn't realize there were more than 6 episodes to this season like the last one had. I am super glad there is more to it because I want to see the outcome of this group staying on this farm any longer. It's like trouble follows them or something. And if Rick doesn't stop helping people I am going to scream. Every time he blames himself for hurting someone or he thinks he owes them in some way, he has to have the whole group wait on him while he goes to find/save/do something for them. So guess who doesn't like Rick (raises hand!) lol. As for Lori, I can't believe she took all of those pills trying to kill the baby. She redeemed herself when she threw them up and when she finally told Rick about her and Shane! Best decisions ever...maybe lol. I am up to the part where Rick and Shane were getting rid of this person that Rick had decided to save and then send him off (pointless if you ask me). Oh yea and my husband caught the last 3 episodes I watched so he is in it too! Yaay, Walking Dead buddy!!

Summer Time!!

I remember in grade school when days led to the last day of school and little me was so excited to finally be out to sleep in and not worry about homework. The best part was hanging with friends all day every day. Oh those were the days, now even when it's summer I have the work grind to look forward to. Joy. Well today is lil' sis' last day! She had her awards ceremony the other day and I watched her win perfect attendance and A honor roll. Can we say dedicated smarty pants lol.

You see that razor scooter back there? I know you do. Well she got that for perfect attendance. I was like "Say what now!!??" I remember getting a thin piece of paper for attendance like she is holding above, and that is it! Last year she accomplished the same thing and got a bike! I wish they had come up with this stuff sooner! Oh yea and that camera sitting on top, I gave her that for her picture taking for the bucket list. Little bitty has already lost the charger for it so I might have given her that a bit too soon! lol.

I plan on taking some shots with my DSLR this weekend. I will show you guys how it all turns out :) #excited

Movie Night With Guests

Who here went to see Fast 6 over the weekend? Let's just say I didn't know that just came out on Friday...lol. We had a triple date on Saturday, my husband and I :)

Dinner and a movie was the game plan. It was fun, me and Jer never go out on double dates so it was a nice change of pace. Oh that is my husband, by the way, with all of his "manly" facial hair lol. I love it!

These are the others, one not pictured because hubby was in the way and refused to move so I could take my random pic (ugh) lol. They are our cousins actually and we all had a good time making inappropriate jokes at the table while a middle aged guy from across the room kept looking at Brittany. Awkward..

Fast 6 was super good, excuse my horrible english. It was totally worth the 7 bucks and the mile long line we had to stand in to be seated. And the ending: OH MY GOSH! I almost want to say "how could they!?" but I am going to stop right there. I have a nasty habit of giving away movies and things. 

Double/triple dating is fun. I don't see why we didn't do this a long time ago! We are all getting together again today to celebrate Memorial Day! I am definitely grateful for soldiers helping keep our country as free as they can. The MD sales aren't so bad either lol. Happy Memorial Day peeps, I am gonna start it off right with a little Walking Dead (gotta catch up)! Peace out 

Me and My Lil Sis + Our Bucketlist

This is my littlest sister, literally my sister in law, and she became my little bestie when she was 3. Well guess who is 8 now and still wants to hang out with her buddy! Alyssa is always down to hang with me because I actually play with her. I love kiddos and how their minds work and she surprises me all of the time.

This is us as at her school eating lunch. I haven't done that in a while but when I did she was always so excited.

She is a goofy little individual. I am not sure what I would do without my little buddy.

So we came up with our own little bucket list for the summer and I thought it would be a good idea to share it for anyone else looking for a challenge this summer. Vacation officially starts next thursday and first on our agenda is the lake! She has a little puppy and we thought it would be a great idea to take her's and my doggies to have a good time in the water and soak up some sun ourselves.

Anyways here is our agenda:

 We are actually substituting slow dancing with midieval times instead since we aren't exactly a couple lol.

Defo can't wait to get started. Its so funny, Alyssa actually put them in a certain order and that is why the lake is first. We will see how this all goes. Hopefully we can finish em all in 2 months (Ha! That is super sad if we don't)

Sometimes I Wonder

As it goes I am the biggest wuss ever. I don't do bugs, spiders, or things that fly (yes birds flapping their wings too close to me freaks me the hell out lol). It usually starts and ends with me shrieking like a crazy lady and hiding until the thing that scared me is killed or goes away. I think there could be one big phobia occurring here. I kind of hate that I am like that but so be it, keep the bugs AWAY from ME! Along with creepy, crawly, flyee things, I don't usually handle scary movie type things well either. So I can't explain to you exactly why I pleaded with my husband to watch this with me:

I've heard alot about it and was definitely not up for it when it first came out. But I have wanted to start a new season of something to watch. I have survived through the 4th or so episode now and I like it thrills and all. It's so slow paced at the moment but my friends tell me it will pick up. The zombies are super creepy looking and I had a little trouble sleeping at first. But I am in it now and won't stop until its over!

My husband refuses to watch anything that has to do with zombies, which is why I had to plead. He says there are too many movies about em and they should just give it a rest. I am honestly over the vampire stuff and am enjoying the change of pace. If a zombie apocalypse did happen though, rest assured this chick would probably be dead at the get go. Lol it's horrible I know but the truth is the truth. So lets hope this doesn't happen.

What isn't slow paced in the show though is the drama. From the get go the main guy is having issues and things get a little crazier by the end of the episode. I hate to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet but I think this is what has me hooked. I have a thing for drama type stuff on tv, like most americans it seems. I will let you know if I stick with it or not. I'll call it my walking dead update. I may include spoilers next time though! Things are getting quite interesting.

Testing, Testing, 1,2,3....

I'm just stepping my little toesies in the pond of blogs again. Seeing where this will lead. Things are much different now since the last time I typed  on the internet.

I am officially 20 times an aunt, with another on the way:

Experienced being a maid of honor:

Changed jobs yet again and on the verge of another one: 

Even bought a new doggie:

Zeus is the new addition to the family, our now 6 month old great dane. He is work, let me tell ya! But it is an experience that I am having a blast with at the same time. Charlie is glad for the company too. Little bitty is the dominant too, it's hilarious to watch.

I will really get into this blogging thing in my next post, for now I am just working on customizing it :)

Peace, and roast beef!
