I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you (the reason, hoobastank)

holy cow. it's been a while since i've updated this thing. hee hee!! i've thought about it for a while, and links start piling up...and then it seems overwhelming to do it all at once. how about an update today and links and pics next time?? okay, deal!! :)

i feel like i've been super busy the last few months. not a weekend went by when i wasn't doing something. which is always good...it's always fun stuff...but it's been a lot lately. may was full of birthdays which always means eating out at favorite restaurants and a nice full belly. horray!!

last weekend, my cousin stacy gave birth to her second child, landon thomas-wayne. i got to be there and hold her leg as she pushed him out. it was an incredible experience, and totally awesome. he's such a cutie, too. i got to see him again yesterday while i was at caitlin's high school graduation party. he's still so little!! he did open his eyes for me for a bit. i think he's going to look like his mommy and act like his daddy...totally opposite of what their first child, sienna is. hee hee!!

after i witnessed the birth, i had a wedding to go to!! michelle (who shares my bday) got married the same day. i missed the ceremony (which was in spanish) but made it to the reception. it was totally beautiful and michelle looked amazing. it was such an awesome day!!

yesterday, i helped my aunt at my cousin's graduation party. i think the final count was 130 people. it was great because there were a few people in the kitchen with me, helping out...making sure there was enough food, refilling stuff, baking stuff, cutting more, cleaning up, whatever. my aunt did go out and buy like 70 plates to match the whole theme, so we had to wash those as they came in dirty. they never ended, and i swear people used them again and again and again. hee hee!! but it was fun even though it was a long day, and i'm glad that my cousin (sister...hee hee!!) got to enjoy her party and talk to everyone, and so did her mom. she was so proud, and so am i!! go bears!!

luckily, i did get to take a quick break once i got all the food ready to go and everything washed up so i could play with sienna for a moment when she arrived. poor girl (she's almost 3) didn't have a nap in the car and was a little tired and fussy with all the people there. i grabbed her and a plate of fruit and went outside and chilled for a while. seriously, 5 people came up to me and told me that i was such a good mother. it was funny because a few of them i knew...friends of my aunts and stuff...and they still thought that sienna was mine. hahahahahahah!! when i was holding landon, i got the same thing. which is sort of expected when you're rocking an infant who's a week old, i suppose. but still...i'm not a mother!! just like my rant from a few months ago, i'm sorry. it's just so ironic. i get carded when i go to bars, but it's natural for me to have a kid or two. arg!!

anyway, i'm excited because this weekend is the blink 182/no doubt concert and after that, i'm camping at the lair!! i'm very excited to get a week off...it's only been a year since i've had a vacation!! woohoo!! all right, that's my update for the moment. like i said, i'll do links and pics later. night!!
