Sorry for the neglect...

May you take this as a token of my apology.

One of the loves of my life

Don't knock the Ipad till' you try it cause it pretty much rocks my socks off.

" Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in"
-Katy Perry "Firework"

Put your paws up little monsters!

Madonna of our generation, or just over all impressive performer? I say both, I don't think people really realize what an artist Gaga really is, from playing the piano, the guitar, dancing the entire time, singing live and maintaining a good pitch and tone is astounding. I don't think many people can get past how "weird" Gaga is to actually listen to her message and why she does what she does. She knows she is a freak show and last night all the freaks were out and she locked the doors so she said. The interaction she has with her fans is something that lacks in most arena concerts and in most performers, Gaga really appreciates everyone and makes you feel like you are in a more intimate setting. Calling people out on their costumes, t-shirts, and picking up and wearing or even eating what fans threw at her. Her message of self acceptance, self love and just being an individual is a powerful message and reaches ages. I saw people as young as 9 and people as old as late 60's dancing a long and being completely enveloped in the journey to the Monster Ball. If you ever have the chance to see her live take it, you will walk out having a lot of appreciation for a real artist, have some laughs, and walk out feeling pretty inspired. I've seen people from Timberlake, to Kanye West, to Britney Spears and this show is almost all of them in one .... minus the auto tune.



These are a couple of my favorite songs of hers. I think she changed about 8 times and even wore an animated moving dress that almost looked as if it was breathing.

Lazy Sunday

A giraffe, some elephants, and a monkey penis

I am a planner, and tend to be a lil' anal retentive about planning. If you know me, you know this is true and I'm sorry if in planning mode I have bitten your head off. (ie wedding morning at Kim "It's my wedding" moment) In my marriage I have accepted the role of planner of events and such and tend to do it often, but the world turned upside down and Travis took it upon himself to plan an entire outing for me and it was a complete surprise. He booked the train tickets, and compared prices and planned his lil' heart out and I am/was so proud of him.

He told me I had to be up at 6:30 cause we needed to leave the house by 7:30 and no later and he said there is no being tardy. So hopped in the car and drove us to our first destination. I love taking the train and Travis has never been on a train so him planning this aspect was great no need to worry about who is driving (which is a constant battle in our marriage) or any traffic. By this time I was starting to get an inkling of where we were headed since the ticket said San Diego. He ended up telling me we were going to the San Diego Zoo which was awesome cause I haven't been there in forever and I love that place. We took a taxi to the zoo and had a great day walking around that monstrosity of a place. I forgot how giant it was and just how much walking that place entails but oh so worth it.








So proud of him for planning this outing for me and even more surprising me with it. It seems as the years go on you really do learn more about your significant other and truly go through phases where it almost feels like we started dating all over again and you just want to spend as much time with them as possible. This outing was a nice lil' reminder of why I love him and why he is my best friend.

Sooo When are ya'all gonna have kids...

This to me has become one of the rudest questions someone can ask. Since Travis and I have gotten married it seems as almost instantly as you say "I do" some overbearing family member is asking "so when are you going to have kids?" Why do we have to decide, why can't we enjoy each other first. And it seems as the time has passed the questions turn almost hostile and you hear them a lot more. "Why haven't you had kids yet," and at this point in my life it infuriates me. I myself have asked that question of other couples in relationships and I regret doing so, and probably will never ask again. You/I don't know a couples thoughts/feelings/ or even circumstances for having children and trust me now being in the situation I am in that line of questioning stings every time. Much like the feeling I get in my heart when I see a cute lil pregnant woman and the thought of the chance of never being able to experience that feeling. So the next time someone asks me "When are you going to have kids," my response shall be "When you let me borrow your uterus and ovaries thanks!"

Only time will tell and if it's God's will it will happen but for the time being hug your children, cherish those 9 months , and if you want we are free to babysit.
