1. The only thing standing between me and going to Ireland is
Another year of vacation days. This year most of my vacation was sucked up by trips to Arkansas and for the wedding (Not a bad thing mind you….I’d just like to “get outta here”)My dream trip is Ireland & Scotland. Ever since I saw that movie P.S. I Love You I’ve been dying to visit. So, hopefully next year we can take another international trip. I just love visiting other countries and discovering new cultures. I’m quite addicted to House Hunters International. Now all I want to do is see God’s creation and discover the world 🙂
2. I don’t have to be perfect to be
Anything. Nobody is perfect. Dear Lord I know I’m not. If you think you are then you are dreaming or drinking….or something! Everyone is created equal and the only one who is perfect is God Almighty!
3. I would improve my hairy legs by
Getting laser hair removal. If it wasn’t so DARN expensive. I would love to have silky smooth skin without having to do a thing. I hate shaving, especially because it’s summer and I just don’t want to bend over in the shower dang it!

4th of July 2014
I hope you all had a great 4th of July! It’s getting SOOOO hot here in Texas and this chick just isn’t too keen on the hot weather and pit stains. Like, I could totally live up north and be content year around.
Ter-Bear came to see me at work Friday 🙂
I made a red, white, and blue cake. I hate to cook…but LOVE to bake! The cake was ginormous and I ended up throwing half of it out because it was sitting in the fridge all weekend.
The cake:
I ordered Connor a Batman costume because he’s been begging for one. I think this set was like $8 bucks on Amazon.
Connor also had a little 4th of July parade at school and it was so cute!
On Friday our sweet friends Bree & Nate invited us to their house in the country to shoot fireworks. That was so much fun! I think the boys had the best time!
My kid is the one with the perma-hands-over-ears in every picture. Super weenie.
So blessed to have another year to celebrate! Happy birthday America 🙂
Land of the free…Home of the brave.
Oh, and Connor got ALL his hair chopped off! I may be in a bit of shock right now, but it’s great for summer. I’m missing his little mop head though. Ha ha! But…it’s hair and it will grow back! It’s so funny because he keeps running to the mirrors in the house and looking at himself and rubbing his head like “who is this???”. Silly kid.

WELCOME TO WEEK 26 OF FINISH THIS … your co-hosts are LISA (Coastlined), JEN (The Arizona Russums), BECKY (The Java Mama) and NICOLE (Three 31). The link up instructions are simple: answer the prompts in a post on your blog. Then, add the post to the collection list using the link below. Next week’s prompts are located at the bottom of this post.
1. It’s never too late …
To chase your dreams! You are never too old, too poor, or too busy to try and better yourself and do something you REALLY want to do! If you want something bad enough do it and quit making excuses!
2. I compare myself to others …
Too much. It’s hard not to compare yourself to others in this society. Eventually you just have to reach a point in life where you don’t care and live for yourself. Someone will always be smarter, prettier, and more successful. But- nobody is perfect. Do what’s best for you and your family and you can’t imagine how satisfying that is. Once you start living like that you can do anything.
3. My personality is …
I would say bubbly. I’m a pretty happy-go-lucky person in general. Yes, I have days where I’m just tired and depressed and are frankly BLAH. But everyone does….I enjoy each day and try to live it the best I can. I’m definitely a people person and love socializing with others. Although I hate having attention directly on myself, especially in front of others. I know that sounds weird….but it’s true.
4. I can …
Squeak. It’s a family talent. Maybe one day I’ll “vlog” it. I dunno….it’s just a funny little sound you make when you press your lips together. I’m also a very artsy person. I love graphic designing, crafting, and photography among other things.
5. I embrace change …
Oh change is hard for me. I find a sentiment in everything that makes change hard. But I’ve found that as I get older change is easier and is bound to happen at some point. So, there’s not much else you can do besides go with the flow!
Apparently Grumpy cat and KStew don’t embrace change???
