We made it.
I have so many pictures to upload from the drive up. Such cute things to talk about and yet I have no energy!
With that being said I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow morning and I need to repack and shower like no one's bussiness. Yet, all I really want to do is get sucked into blogger and read. Before I let that happen I'm going to exit out otherwise it will be 2am I will still have nothing accomplished!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

We Have A Winner
Thank you everyone who entered in the giveaway!
I wish I could give everyone something for thier kids...
because kids are my biggest weakness!!
The winner is...21
(sorry for the blurry picture!)
and the 21st comment was Jennifer at Crazy Shenanigans!
Congrats girl!
I leave tomorrow for Virginia. Hopefully, never to return to Pensacola. Never say never though. Currently the Coast Guard has us in Virginia for the next 4 years. I have been allowed to take the laptop with me so that I can keep up with reading/recording blog life. Well I don't think that's really the reason E is letting me have the laptop but that's my reason. :)

Facebook is a crazy thing
All this happened before I met my husband...
In high school I dated this one guy for a couple of months(Boy 1). He was way more serious then I wanted to be so we broke up. Clearly he was bitter after that. I didn't blame him I would have been hurt had it happened to me. We weren't really on great terms after that.
Because it was high school I started dating another guy shortly after that. Who I adored. He was just simply amazing. Had my family not moved and I not met E who knows what might have happened. But we did and I am a better person being married to E.
Anyways my relationship status with these guys isn't really what I want to talk about. It's theirs.
Boy 1 pretty much hated Boy 2 because that's who I dated next. Understandable. Jealousy is a big ugly green monster that can take over anyone. The two never spoke and did not hang out with the same groups. Never. Ever.
Now we are all friends on facebook...funny how that happens. And Boy 1 often talks to boy 2. WTF.
Why does this bother me. I really couldn't tell you. Perhaps because they don't talk to me and I am a selfish person. Or maybe because boy 1 really made life difficult while I was dating boy 2.
Perhaps it's the fact that I ended up breaking up with boy 2 for E. Therefore they had some common ground to bond over. No matter what I think it's weird.
Doesn't that happen a lot on facebook though. We become friends with people we weren't really even friends with in the beginning.
I feel better now...just putting it out there. :)
