So, an entire pitcher of hot tea may in fact be too much. I know blasphemy.
I love days filled with Paris on the Platte, stories, lots of tea, silliness, a Miss.Christine Goldman and one of my favorite families.
"I didn't mess up our wedding but, you thought I was gonna"-Jeffie
"Hillary this may be the closest thing to a drunk dial that you will ever get from us"-Heather Good
"Is something in there? I mean that's a very large carrier to have without anything in it."-Random guy at Starbucks (Not to mention I was either missing a baby or completely nuts because I carry around a car seat and toys without a baby)
Who knows....
"You only do one shot, unless you are Mike O., in which case you would do several"-Rob M.
Its not funny. I am serious.
"I think I get less effected by vodka than by beer. Because, wait..."-Tara W
Seriously, if I ever get married it is not going to be about the ring. Give me a plastic ring, or a yarn ring, or a twist tie bread ring I don't care. Its about the person I am marrying and not the object.
"I need to find a hobby. I think I am going to take up burlesque dancing"-Jessie
"So, part of the deal with us being married is that I never have to make my own lunch. But, I do other things really well like make the bed"-Jeffie

"Okay what color do you want your room? (no answer and continues) Pink, okay I am on it"-Nicole Goldman (It's nice to know I have a place when I come back with people I adore)
"That's very sad for Kacy"-Jessie
If I was not going to be married before than I am absolute
ly never going to get married now due to crazy stories from the Gayles.
"I hate grumpies"-Miss. Christine Goldman
"Me too!"-me (in a super powerful way)
"Jeff's going to be a stay at home husband. Not a stay at home dad...just a husband"-Katie
"I want to wear pretty dresses and take them off"-Kacy
The Gayles have the cutest house and they are adorable.
"I knew your face was going to do that"-Miss. Christine Goldman
"So, I am just going to lay it out for you Hillary"-Jeffie
Katie has a slanket....yep. Also, she may have made me try it on...may have...
"Do you want one of these?"-Katie (referring to
the slanket, and addressing Jumping Adhesive Grasshoppers)
"Because, this one is mine"-Katie
"And, in fact this one is so much mine that if I want to wear it you have to give it back immediately"-Katie
"Now, I have scars on my toes because I had a freak dog accident"-Kacy
"It was a diaphragm spasm"-Miss. Christine Goldman
Looking at a picture from they're wedding in the chapel from above....
"Can we find you?"-Jeffie
"Here I am"-me
"What that's not you, your hair looks dark there it's not blond"-Jeffie
"Jeff, my hair is not blond"-me
"Well, its kinda"-Jeffie
"Her hair is brown"-Katie
"Okay"-Jeffie
"There will always be women in rubber flirting with me... "
Sometimes I wish that I could just fast-forward through life a few years. And, be a little older, and done with school, and working, and be married (if that's going to happen), and have children. The funny thing is I say that but, I would not even want that a little bit. Each moment is an adventure. Each step of life is exciting and is building and growing me as a person. I just wish I knew where I ended up. But, at the same time I don't and it would be so boring if I did.
You deserve so much more. Please turn and run away.
"Don't count it out. But, don't sit here and wait"- Miss. Christine Goldman
"We stalked you in the Aspen Grove parking lot"-Kacy

He is so big now and it is so unbelievable. I am sad I am missing the little things.
It doesn't get any easier.
Stupid cold feet. Not like scared of doing something cold feet. But, actual cold feet.

I have always loved this....
Being judgmental involves looking down on people. I may have strong opinions and I usually offer them. But, I do not judge people. Whatever works for you and makes you happy is great by me. As long as you do not hurt me or the people I love.
Fowler...yep, Fowler.

"Are you sure my sister wants to talk to me?"-Shona (my sister)
"Yes, why wouldn't she?"-mom
"Because I am a little drunk"-Shona (she was, and I will always)
"Love isn't based solely on appearance or constantly giving each other attention. It's about having a common interest or dream and working together to achieve it. If two people or two things in love are too preoccupied with each other, they would never move forward. True love produces something and so it propels you toward the same direction." - The Little Prince
So, yeah.....A 2009 wrap up blog is on its way...but, I need to reflect a bit more on that. Thank you for being in my life and thank you for being you.
