pretty ladies

last night i finally took the time to take our family christmas pictures.
you know how some families send out pictures of just their kids?
yeah thats me...except iam not sending these anywhere..well maybe to a couple people just as a joke!
so here is my hilarious collection of what i got!

she was not pumped up.

at this point i realized tate had positioned herself perfectly in the back ground.  SCORE

but it seems tate can not keep her eyes open

full shot!

she looks like a sleepy baby

cute girls

love this one

love

they are both goobers

she was so cooperative.  i did not expect her to just lay down and sleep

so i just kept snapping

i swear i was not forcing her

how can you resist that face

had to zoom in on tate hiding behind the presents

without her crazy headband

christmas puppy

she was over that thing

look mom i will pose now!

ADORBS

i tried making them sit together.  Tate was not having it!

me and my pretty lady

ahhh Mr D.  took this one., HILARIOUS

now if that doesnt put you in the christmas mood i do not know what will ;)

dueces

bundles of JOY

so through the posts i have been very uncertain where iam supposed to be in life...in jobs

well i think i know.

all i want...more than anything else in the whole wide world
is to be a stay at home mommy

now some may say this is lame
other say wow your lazy

but truthfully...i just want to raise my children!
i want to be a mother!

i wish i had something to announce...but i dont
iam trying to convinve mr d...a dog or a child. 
i think iam losing on both :)
but i think for now iam OK with that
yes i really really want a baby...but am i really ready?
probably not so much!

only time will tell!

me and baby nephew Jacob!

love me some bundles of JOY

honesty

so i know i have been a little absent on this blog here lately...and now i go and post 2 posts in one day.
dont hate me :)

so for the last while i have been seeing this quote on pinterest...

I whole heartily believe this.

you see...back in the day (high school)...i didnt exactly have life figured out.  (nor do i claim that i have it figured out now)  but i have made alot of progress...so you see here is the story

coming from a tiny school and merging with other schools i went into high school with one friend!  literally.
it was like going to kindergarden all over again. i made new friends and such.  and it was ok.  i wouldnt say i was ever pumped up about life.  but i put on a good front.  so junior year hit and all hell broke loose.
my friends group was turned up side down.  i was making all new friends and it was...well....weird.
alot of things went on that year that iam not exactly proud of.
but i wouldnt change them
senior year was even more change, i went on a new medicine and i lost alot of weight, suddenly i was somewhat popular...and even got voted most outgoing for my senior class.  (something i never thought would happen)
but all those years i was trying my best to be a strong, and literally NEVER cried.  i had other outlets...but no tears.
i had amazing people in my life who would listen to me for hours.
graduation hit and i literally thought my life was over because i was leaving my two best friends behind...and moving to a new state without any friends or my boyfriend (yes me and mr d are high school sweet hearts)  (precious i know)
well once at college my life flipped once again... i swear to you i cried everyday.
i think i finally realized i didnt have to be strong anymore
what was the point of being so strong all the time...
so there were tears...all the time!
i blame being strong so long, and the fact that i had such good friends to hold me up...even though  i didnt always realize it!!!

that was a large dose of honesty people

a little catch up

well since last time not a WHOLE ton has changed. 
except..i quit one job...(go me)
i now only work at the hotel..no longer to be yelled at by 3 year old girls (THE PIZZA GIRL IS HERE)
lets be honest i found that highly embarrasing when i have a college degree.  truth
other news in my life...we went to texas...total spur of the moment trip. 
it was a good time and i love traveling...but houston texas is a bore!  *YAWN*
but here are a few pictures i took on that trip
