It's been so long...
I can't believe how long it has been since I wrote on here, so I decided that I would finally take the time to do it.
Today marks mine and Mike's 2 year anniversary. It is hard to believe it has been that long since our weddding. It seems just like yesterday I was screaming at the bagpiper to not start playing yet, swearing under my breath at the stupid DJ, listening to All that she wants is another baby during dinner, and Liz almost pushing Mike through a plate glass window. But I have to say, the last two years have been wonderful. I know I often give Mike a hard time, but I couldn't ask for a better husband. He would do anything for me and I can't even begin to explain how lucky I am to have him in my life. I know he is going to be the greatest dad...maybe a little protective, but loving and supportive...just as he is with me. I can't wait for the first time he holds Addison. I think he will cry like a baby...and I will hold it over his head for making fun of me for all of the things I cry at. Addison already has him wrapped around her little finger. I am sure he will turn to mush everytime she looks at him!
As in other news, I had a message today saying my c-section is scheduled for Sept.14 at 8am. A possible birthday? Hopefully this is just an early scheduling plan for "just in case" but it makes me a little nervous to have it in someone's planner that this could possibly be happening. Whatever is best for Addison, that is all I care about. I just wish my dr. was a little more normal!

Happy Inauguration!
This is almost a week late, but Kristin sent me this and I thought it was really cool. After an intense screaming match with Molly about our new President, I Pledge to support my beliefs, but respect others' opinions at the same time. I will also try to love everyone even if they do/say things that I totally disagree with. So for all the Molly's out there, here is my pledge even if you disagree with our country's decision.

The things I am learning
I am beginning to think about the things in life that are really important. Obviously family tops the list. But second are the friendships I have. I am learning a lot about the definition of that word as well. I often catch myself starting stories with "a friend of mine"...but is everyone that I come in contact with, that I see more than once really that? Definitely not. Do the people who I have been friends with from when I was younger still know who I am? Or do they know the person I was in grade school or high school? Are the people who I see everyday at work and occassionally may hang out with at Sundance or In Laws the people that know what my pet peeves are or all my family members' names? Definitely not. Are the people who call to ask if I want to do something but are in no way willing to drive ALL THE WAY TO ANTIOCH truly wanting to hang out with me? Definitely not.
I am stealing one of my true friend's New Year's resolution. I am only surrounding myself with genuine people. I will take the time to tell those who truly care about me how much I care about them...and appreciate them. Sure I will have those people that I will hang out with every once in awhile and those who come in and out of my life as they please. I will not shut people out. But waste my energy and time on people who don't put forth effort...who don't really want to know who I am...those who follow the rule of "out of sight, out of mind"...they don't get to affect me and make me feel like I am not worth it. I used to think it was important to have as many friends as possible. The more, the better. But I am beginning to realize that is not true. If you have too many, you never get to really know them...and they never really get to know you.
So thank you Mike, Mom, Stacy, Kelly, Allison (and all of my family), Kristin, Amy, and Jen for being those people who dig deep to know me. To get me. To know my petpeeves. To know what makes me happy, sad, or laugh. Thank you for making me feel worth it.

what's goin on
So....you would think after the New Kids concert, i didn't have a life. Nothing to write about?? Or maybe it is I have been full of fantastic fun stuff I haven't had TIME to write. I am gonna go with that ;)
First of all, I have been really busy trying to be the best Antioch Sequoit fan I can be. I have been perfecting my cheers, kicks, and hand motions. I have also been working on keeping myself from running onto the field and jumping out of the bleechers. This has not worked out very well as some people may have seen on t.v. I can't help it. I am loving every minute of this football season for Randy. I hope he sees that his family loves him so much that they sit through rain and bitter cold weather to cheer him on. I know we are sometimes embarrassing, but there is no other way I would want to spend my Friday or Saturday night. And I mean that truly. I love you Randy and I am soooooooooooooooo proud of you no matter what happens this Saturday...Now like the sign says in downtown antioch - go kick some ass!
Since the last time I wrote, I have visited my favorite hang out - Sundance Saloon. There is nothing like a little country music, the toothless mayor, sweaty men, and some liquid courage. Spending the night line dancing away for some reason is my idea of a good time. Oh yea, and imitating the twins is fun, too. I will one day be a rockette.
I also watched my first UFC fight while hanging out with Kristin. I picked who I wanted to win by figuring out which one had the smallest amount of cauliflower ear. Yum!
We have a new president!!! well....soon. I will always remember sitting on the couch bawling my eyes out clutching Renaldo when they announced Obama won. I hope Renaldo always remembers this moment, too and grows up realizing he can also become whatever he wants to be....well not really. he can only be a bunny. but, maybe he could be a braver bunny?
At school, there is always funny moments. Today I had a 4th grader ask me if I knew who the New Kids on the Block were. I said why of course! And why do you? She didn't answer, but instead began to sing EVERY WORD to Step By Step. She is my new best friend.
Well I must go. Guinness is barking at my reflection in the window right now. For some reason he won't just listen to me when I explain that it is me. It's like he doesn't understand English or something...

I WILL LOVE THE NEW KIDS FOREVER!
Well mom, I bet you never thought that comment would be so true! This past weekend I went to the best concert....ever. And this is not sarcasm haha.
To think so many years later I would be attending my first ever New Kids concert. The whole time I kept thinking how cheesy....yet how wonderful the whole idea was. To look around and see thousands of women (not girls) singing along to all of the songs, fist pumping away, and screaming like crazy with the sight of "THE LETTERS" was so interesting to see. For the first time in a long time I thought of nothing else but what I was there for...to see 5 of the most handsome men perform their old and new songs. For the first time in a long time I was not stressed about school, thinking about what I was going to teach at Sign class, worried about money, or all of the other everyday issues. I enjoyed every second of that concert. I sang my heart out. I danced. I screamed. I did not faint. But I was 8 years old again...or 13 years old again like when I tried to revive NKOTB.
I am happy that they stuck to their true identity. Jon is still a dork that never looks up. Donnie still is gangsta. Jordan still shows his abs minus the rat tail. Danny still looks like a monkey...but can break dance like crazy. Joe still fashions his smiley face leather jacket..and according to Lisa and many other women, is still the favorite.
Their music is still cheesy with lyrics like "Yea I'm like Swazy" or "Gotta know if you're mad at me before Gray's Anatomy".
They still allow their fans to wear oversized buttons. (Nothing like "the buttons and the pins and the loud fanfare!")
They still sing their oldies but goodies...with only minor dance move changes.. let's face it, their not so young anymore.
It was great to see my sisters having a great time, too. And everyone else for that matter.
Who would have thought an 80's - 90's group could make my day, my week, my month, maybe even my year :)
