.Belated Congratulations.

Since it has been FOREVER since I have posted to my blog, I would like to take a moment and give a belated congratulations to one of my best gal pals, Ms. Brittney Parker on her engagement to JORDAN!!!!

It is totally about time. And incase you have been living under a rock, he propoed to her on Christmas Eve and they are getting married in August! YAY! :)

.New Moon.

Yesterday morning I woke up and by the way i was acting, you would have thought that it was Christmas. The long awaited day had arrived. NEW MOON was coming out in theatres at 12:01! Here on the wonderful OBX it does not take much to get us excited. There were "tailgating" plans and everything...yeah, I know we are soooo cool.

Anyways, we finally get into the first theatre at 9:00 to watch Twilight.....HOW EXCITING! This was so much fun, we all got to sit together and have a good time except for the ladies sitting behind me. Before the lights were even dimmed, these old, drunk Cougars behind me were straddling each other and being so loud and annoying. As the movie began they were hootin & hollering and making moaning noises but suddenly not even half way through the movie it stopped!!! Curiously I turn around and this is what I see....

They passed out!!!!!! So of course I reach for my camera and snap a picture, not realizing just how bright my flash was. HAHAHAHAHAA everyone around me saw and started laughing. I'm really surprised they did not wake up!!!!

While we are all enjoying the first movie, every tween within a 50 mile radius it seemed was lining up in the lobby for New Moon....we all assumed that since we paid twice the money and are seeing two movies that we would at least have an advantage. OH NO!!!! Let me just tell you that we had to go to the END OF THE FLIPPIN LINE. Yeah, that's right1 I was so pissed.....in fact I am still pretty angry to be quite honest. And because we had to go to the end of the dern line we had NO WHERE to sit once we finally got to the theatre. So us being the geniuses we are, haul ass across the hall to other theatres and then the people who work there come running at us..."you have to stay in the your designated theatre!!"

My drunk, pissed off ass of course freaks out on the poor employee but you don’t mess with twilight fans! The kid is pointing out 2 seats here and 3 seats there and telling us too bad we have to split up and all the available seats are right up front....if I wanted to get a crink in my neck I could have stayed home. I wanted to sit up top with my damn friends!!!!!!! Finally we get set sitting somewhat near each other and it’s so uncomfortable. It was soooo hot in there and I dressed in my comfy sweats thinking it was going to be cold in the theater like it normally is and I was frying.

Needless to say, two of my group left and then, just what I predicted was going to happen, I FELL ASLEEP! (Note: it was not a deep slumber, more like nodding on and off)

Midnight is waayyyyyyyy past my bedtime! I was chugging energy drink and everything. BUT it is not like I haven't read all of the books. I knew what was going to happen. It's ok though. I have it downloading right now, in HD so I can watch Edward and Jacob go at it every night!!!!

Let the countdown to Eclipse in June 2010 begin ;)

.Pumpkin Fun.

Last Saturday we had a pumpkin carving party with our friends Stephanie and Matt and their son Tristan. Unfortunately, Silas slept through the whole thing but woke up for some pictures with mommy and daddy's pumpkins!

Tristan, Quinn's Pumpkin, Silas, My PumpkinMe and My Pumpkin

The Headless Horseman

Can't wait till Saturday! It's Silas' first Halloween and even though we are not taking him trick or treating he has a cute little costume/outfit he will be sporting as we go and visit some family members!!!

.Baby Shower.

Saturday, March 28, 2009 was my baby shower and I must say that it was a great turn out. You see, I am a complete control freak and like things a certain way, which is normally my way or no way. I made a 5 page outline of how I wanted my baby shower to go. This included what food I wanted and from where, the games we would play and of course decorations. I gave this to my amazing best friend Stephanie who did a fabulous job translating my ideas into the real thing, with the help of my mom and sister and Quinn's mom.

First of all, I must be a little cocky and say that my invitations were the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi. I had the idea that I wanted to make them look like tickets to a UNC Basketball game since I was having my shower during March Madness. Quinn being the talented artist that he is took my idea and created an adorable invitation for me!

Thankfully, UNC did win on Friday night or else Saturday's party would have sucked just a little bit since all of my decorations were Carolina blue and white. Quinn's mom got me an adorable basketball themed diaper cake and of course the food was to die for.....YUMMMM! :)

After food and games it was the best time of all, present time!!!! Thanks to mine and Quinn's amazing families and friends we got everything we could have asked for and more! Quinn's aunt gave us Alex's changing table and a stuffed animal that was hers as well, which coincidentally is a monkey which matches the whole nursery theme. I can't wait till he gets old enough and we can explain the importance of his monkey stuffed animal to him.

So I guess now all there is left to do is wait around for lil' dude to make his debut.

Kickin Summer 08 Off The Right Way

Ahhh, the beginning of summer and it is feeling GREAT! This weekend was the start of what I am foreseeing to be a great summer :).

Friday night Britton was in town and of course that always means a good time, Lacie girl, and chicken and brocolli stuffed crusonts ;).

Saturday was be-you-tee-full and it was about damn time!!! Me, Stephanie and Ashley laid out all day by the pool. It was nice till me being fed up with my disgustingly pale ass lathered up in oil, then about an hour later put on a coat of TB lotion with bronzer and then about the last hour of laying out put on more oil. I got sooo much sun and I am stoked to not be white anymore! While we were laying out, Tristan was taking his nap so afterwards I ran upstairs and woke him up. He hated me, but I did capture some cute pictures!

And yes, we did give Tristan a pony tail. Haha.

After a long day in the sun, we had a major grub out! I made some delicious cheeseburgers, steamed shrimp, pasta salad and washed it all down with Jose, Korbel and Bud...nice combination, I know. Haha. After we got all fat and happy we headed out of colington and to Jordan's to "pre-game". We got a nice "buzz" and headed to Barefoot's where we met Krista, Jed, Anthony and Jordan. Gooooood times!

Basically, I am just so glad that I got to spend some real quality time with my girlies. I miss them so much and if this summer is anything like what this weekend was, then I definately cannot wait!!
