Just thinking...

Before the wreck I was "dating" a guy, for six months. I really cared about him wanted to spend as much time with him as possible. His little girl was adorable, I loved spending time with her even though it wasn't often. I thought he felt the same way towards me and was just scared to admit his feelings, but in the back of my mind I knew he was still in love with his ex wife.

Even though I had strong feelings for him, I had a friend a close friend who was a guy. I would say he was my Dr Phil and he would say I was his Oprah... we talked about anything and everything, about my relationship about his kids and his ex wife, about work, home life and we would chat for hours either on the phone or through text messages.

When I got into the wreck, I lost both of them. The guy I was "dating" went back to his ex, was together raising their kid and welcoming a newborn into the mix of things. My "Dr. Phil" came to the hospital every day sometimes twice a day even though I couldn't talk, was in a coma he still came... then his visit's started to trinkle off from every day to every other day for thirty mins or so.  The day I came home is the day he said he couldn't be my friend anymore. I broke down... after everything he said and did it was a waste of my time and his energy.

I miss his talks and his laugh... I miss it all.

Maybe it was best that my wreck happened, it showed me who my true friends are... Those who pretend and those who are true.

My uncle has a saying.. "There are friends for a season, friends for a reason, and friends for life." who are you?

Destin.Florida Part One

I left Ohio County at around 2 pm heading to Bowling Green to meet up with my Aunt, two cousins and their friend and leave from Bowling Green. We had a slight delay which worked out in our favor. We left Bowling Green at midnight *Sunday* and headed to Destin Florida.

We arrived in Destin Florida bright and early at 9am. Weew what a ride, it felt like we would never get there and guess what they wouldn't let us check in until 4pm what are we going to do until then.... the picture above is our condo spot named Ariel Dunes II we are on the 21st floor the view is amazing.

See I told you the view was amazing this is from the "back door" which is where I am currently sitting typing this listening to my cousins talk about anything and everything. Well my computer is about to die so I will continue this later on with Part 2.... I wonder how many parts to this vacation will become part of my forgotten blog?

One Cookie + One 10mth Old = 2 Cute!

The 10 month old I am speaking of is my wonderful nephew Lucas, this child seems to eat ALL the time. From his baby food, formula, cheerios, crackers, graduate bites, cookies, and banana's. For a small child he sure does love his food...

My step dad LOVES oreo cookies, and since he loves them he figured food boy Lucas would enjoy them to. After giving the cookie to Lucas and we monitored him so he wouldn't take too big of a bite...after tasting the cookie he had to think for a second if he liked it or not and let me tell you it was a very short second.

So we figured it was photo time, his first oreo cookie, see his little hand is covered in oreo chocolateness while the other is stuffing the cookie into his face...

Yummy!!! Nothing like a chocolate mess face, hands, shirt, and walker everything seemed to be covered but why clean him up when he is still eating, he managed to eat both sides of the cookie and leaving the cream center for the last.

Being a fast little booger in his walker he was going for the camera, I guess to get rid of the evidence that he ever had a cookie, but the evidence is all over him it's screaming "I JUST ATE A OREO COOKIE FOR THE FIRST TIME." See the cookie juices running down his arm?

"Mommy, I'm done!!" Who could say no to this face? who could honestly say this isn't cute? The little monkey sure loved his cookie, next time maybe we should strip him down to his diaper?
It was bath time for Lucas!!

Through My Eyes..

Kentucky State Bird

Mom and I was talking about how cool it would be to get a picture of a cardinal with the snow, right after we agreed it indeed would be awesome this little guy landed on the porch.

He posed for me, or perhaps was wondering what I was doing. =D This is truly a beautiful bird, no wonder my grandmother loves LOVES loves watching them.

His side profile is just as good as the front. Don't you think?

But after a few shots he decided it was enough and flew off. I am so glad I had my camera in hand. I am still very sick of the snow.

Maximus....

MAXIMUS **MAX**

I got my baby Max in May of 2009 for an early halo removal gift, a new step in life. He will be a year old in May oh my how time has flied. It seems like just yesturday when I would hold him like this. On his back in my arms like a real baby. He even slept on his back in bed with me, although he snores I loved him all the same.

My nephew Lucas was born in April of 2009 so my sister had her baby and I had my 'baby' but the funny thing is, Max thought this was his bouncy seat. He would crawl in it when Lucas wasn't in it, curl up in a ball and sleep for hours until we made him get out. Then Max got to the point he wanted in it when Lucas was in it. What a bad habbit to break! Weew it was some work. The only reason he doesn't get in it now is because he is too big.

Max gets time out's like any other naughty boy, we would tell him "Max, box" and he would look at us like we just took his favorite rope away. But what kind of punishment is this?? Sleeping peacefully?!? He is so silly. =D

Max eventually got bigger ::sniffle sniffle:: and stopped sleeping on his back, so he started sleeping on his side. When I would leave my blanket on the couch he would crawl under it and snuggle up and sleep. How cute!

Since Max knows Momma is a photographer and knows she loves snapping pictures, he likes to pose for me. If your wondering he is a boxer/beagle mix. I have a picture somewhere on my mess of a harddrive ::blushes:: where he is winking at the camera. What a stud!

Although I love my Maxie, I do have homework I have to complete, and on time so at the times he wants me to pet him and play with him is usally when I am up to my eye balls in something else. So one day he decided to protest and lay his head on my computer until I pet him and loved on him. He is extremely spoiled. Can you tell?

Kentucky Snow

Oh how I am sick of this snow...It may be beautiful to take pictures of but it has got to go.

It's been cold and windy. Can I have summer now?

It's not just the snow it's the rain that comes with it which freezes everything.

I hope the groundhog is wrong and we have spring extremely soon.

I bet those who live in warmer states are laughin so hard they are peeing their pants. I mean c'mon already I want to wear tank tops and arthritis to stop hurting 24/7.

Now that I have ranted and raved about the crappy Kentucky weather...I'll end it here and cuddle up with Max.
