How it all just melts away.

So today i'm driving home, thinking about how my next blog should be about the road rage that all but consumes me because it seems like 90% of the drivers that I encounter on my adventures home do NOT know how to drive. (And I'm talking about the simple things such as: left turns must always yeild unless otherwise posted or directed by a traffic signal!) Did I mention that this rage "all BUT consumes me?" Yeah, ok, I lied. Hello, my name is Mandy and I have a road rage problem......

Anyway back to the point of my blog, I pull into the driveway and I see my punkin' walking to the mailbox with her Meme and Poppie. I stop and ask her if she'd like a ride, and from there it all just melts away. We play outside for awhile, swing, check on the strawberries, blow out the dandilions and love on ole' noah (he's our horse of a dog.) Funny how she's able to take to me to a completely different world every afternoon. Its nice to come home to that, no matter where home is.

On a different note, I think I have my boyfriend talked into going to my grandparents for Easter! Yes this is a big deal. Why? Because after 2 years of dating and loving this man, I can count on one hand (without using my thumb) how many times my boyfriend has interacted with my family. I guess I better explain that one. In his previous longterm relationship, his inlaws....well he likens them to satan's spawn.... LOL needless to say his dealings with him have left him skittish and shy of the inlaws - even when they're not technically inlaws (such as our case). But alas 2 years later and well, the only family he's met of mine are my parents, and I'm beginning to think the rest of my family is starting to question my sanity and his reality :o) Keep your fingers crossed for me!

She's growing up.....

Way too fast!!! It was just yesterday that I was only finding out about my little miss Sarah.... now she's almost two and hamming it up for the camera. Where o where did my little baby go????

As promised, below are some of her easter pictures - there are more on facebook (or will be). We took her to my favorite place: Portrait Innovations. Where even if you go in with a budget in mind, you will still break the bank. This piggy bank is shattered - but well worth it! And after several bribes, we got some great pictures. Enjoy ;o)

Coming soon! - I promise

Wow, its been forever since I've posted! I dont even have our snow pictures up! But the good news there is that the camera and the cord have actually made it to my car, now I just have to bring them in and upload them.....

Also we got the Easter pictures taken, finally! Thats a feat when your almost two year old isn't in the mood. But we got them done, now I just have to remember to scan them so that I can post them. We have the cd of them but they're never as pretty because they don't have all the "special effects" on them, so be patient. I promise they're all coming to this blog soon ;o)

Ok, go ahead and say it - I'm slacker. I know. But for those that are interested I do have a few posted on facebook - that should count for something right?
