Wow, I haven't posted in over a month.  I've barely been checking Xanga or LJ at all!  It sucks, I miss all my internet friends :( :( :(  To make up for it I am apparently giving you the longest post ever.

Part of the problem is that I always have tons of pictures I want to share, but my computer is old and it takes forever and ever to resize and ( Read more... )

It's Thanksgiving weekend recap time!

Thanksgiving was crazy with the running around.  We had Thanksgiving turkey lunch at Carlos' family's house, and Thanksgiving turkey dinner at my mom's.  At Carlos' house I took pictures of Mirage to show you how fat she has gotten, but I still have to resize them.

I was going to go down to the Cottage Thursday ( Read more... )

Yes, I know the 4th of July was over a month ago.  Yes, I know in my last two entries I was all "OMG I UPLOADED A TON OF PICTURES SO I CAN POST A LOT."  Yes, I am a slow liar

On Monday we'll have been in our house for a month.  All we've really done inside is fix up our room (paint, new doors, new floor, furniture etc).  But I have had fun out on our deck!!

We had beautiful weather on Sunday and Monday.  Too bad I spent Sunday inside working on our room/at Home Depot, and Monday at work.  Now I am in Phoenix, and it is HOT.  At least it isn't 118 like last week.  Tomorrow it is going to "cool off" to 99.  Stupid desert.  I probably won't bird because of the heat.  Yes, that is more of an incentive to ( Read more... )

I've had these Cottage posts typed up for at least a week and that still hasn't made me post them any faster!  Wtf??  I was back down there Saturday and Sunday this weekend so I'll have more pictures eventually.  It will probably take me a month like these did

So yeah.  Engagement is weeeeeird.  We've talked about it for so long and it's been unofficial for a while, I guess, so it doesn't feel too different.  But maybe it is just so different I can't comprehend.  I don't know.   It's obviously a big deal to everyone we know, though, especially our high school friends it seems hehe.  Thank you all for ( Read more... )

Ok.  So.  I took about 300 pictures in 3 days at The Cottage for Memorial Day weekend.  I love having a digital, aka not wasting film.  But I get the feeling that anyone who goes places with me hates it, since all I do is take pictures

Thank you sooooooooo much everyone for all the congratulations!!  I am going to try to be good (for once) and come comment back.  I've been horrible at that lately.

I feel the need to point out the following things:

• If it wasn't for college tuition funds that our parents had set up for us and that we hadn't used, plus borrowing a little money ( Read more... )
