a good read.

if you're feeling rather bored, & perhaps wanting to get inside my head a bit, check out this blog post i stumbled across the other day, that made me feel a lot better about how different i am.
so while my friends are busy saying things like, "when in the world are you getting engaged?" or "how come you & luke never want to have kids?" i'm thinking "why do people feel the need to ask? why do i have to explain myself?"
& yes, unless there's a SERIOUS accident, there will be no babies.

my mother.

happy mother's day to my hero!

she is the greatest lady on this planet. she works so hard for her family, and is always putting other people before herself! my mom is such a blast..she loves roller coasters and sky diving as much as i do! we're both adrenaline junkies. this photo was taken almost exactly a year ago, at the styx/foreigner/kansas concert. i owe her for my love of awesome classic rock! 

love you mama bear. happy mother's day!

mama's back!!

my cute mama got to check this off her bucket list last week..

[also on my bucket list..therefore i was extremely jealous.]

but now my mama is back from her cruise...thank heavens. i miss my mom when she is gone..and not just because i have to try my best to clean, cook, and carpool [how does she do that?!] but also because i miss having her around to share the funny random things that happen throughout my day. my mom is definitely amazing and i am so glad she is back!

and look what she got me from jamaica!

probably the coolest t shirt ever. she knows me well.

my mother.

is one of the most beautiful women on this planet.

and she does so much for my family and i... without ever expecting anything in return.

i would love to be just like her when i "grow up".

happy mother's day!!

to her as well as the other amazing women in my life.
