My beautiful sister's wedding!


I have spent the last week adding pictures to this post! There are so so so many to choose from that I loved! This is my sister Rachelle and my new brother in law Kham's wedding two weeks ago. She was a BEAUTIFUL bride, the ceremony was amazing, the weather was perfect and of course the company was marvelous (and the best part!)








He really shouldn't mouth off so much....

Sisters =)


























All in all the day was amazing and I am so happy for the new Mr and Mrs Thanadabout! We couldn't be happier to welcome Kham into the family officially!!

Oklahoma 2011

Well I am back again and this time blogger decided to oblige me and actually upload my pics so here's a look at our trip to Oklahoma last month...
The weather was so nice while we were there and Stetson really soaked up the sunshine...
It was Skylar's birthday while we were there and he wanted to watch a basketball game at a sports bar so me, being the wonderful wife that I am, took my hubby to Hooter's for this birthday! I have to admit I will go back--they had the best shrimp EVER! Skylar even rode the "Sassy Pony" around the restaurant because he was the birthday boy! Oh and the old man is 29 =)
Our biggest day out was spent at the zoo. We went there last year too but this zoo is HUGE and you cannot see it all in one day! As you can see, they had special parking for facebook fans...losers. We had to walk a couple blocks to get in because we aren't cool enough to be FB friends with them!
Here's Stetson getting away from Teigen at the jungle gym...priceless.
The alligators were all that Stetson was asking to go see and they did absolutely nothing but lie there and breathe. Plus, because of all of the weeds and such, Stetson couldn't even see them all because of how well they blended in so he was pretty upset.
I think his hat says it all.....# 1 dad....
This little money (literally) was HILARIOUS! He played and played on this swing and then he would jump off and go cuddle his parents for a moment then run off to play again! Adorable.
Just a gorilla.
The "other" Griffin fam. So cute!
My cute boys and I waiting to get on the train at the zoo.
and still waiting....
Another day Stets got his first professional haircut. I wouldn't go as far as to say that he was "good" for the lady but the mission was accomplished anyways!
We did some lounging while on vacation too and needless to say, it was much needed!
We had a campfire.
Oops another zoo pic. I'm not sure how he got way down here but he's adorable so he can stay.


and we spent a few days at the local park soaking up the sun...

I still haven't figured out where the blue all over Stetson's face came from during the airplane flight home but oh well, I guess that's what little boys do! We had a wonderful vacation and it was so nice to get away even though I had to take my study guides and a couple textbooks with me! We probably won't be going back to Oklahoma again anytime soon because the Griffin clan moved back home for now and hopefully they are here to stay!

Procrastination ROCKS!

So basically right now I am doing anything and everything possibly to avoid writing ANOTHER paper for my psyche class! I love writing but this semester is beginning to make me HATE it and this particular paper I already feel like I've beat it to death because we have to write a section at a time and hand it in and now I am on sections four and five and I can't possible imagine what more I have to say about this subject. Hmmph. So while I am procrastinating I decided to post a few new pics! I had Spring break last week and we were able to fit in a few fun activities and head out to Oklahoma for four days as well to spend time with family...



Ok well there's been a change in plans! Blogger is refusing to upload anymore of my pictures so I guess that is a hint that it's time to write my paper so check back soon for OK pics and PS these above pictures were taken outside of my in-laws' beautiful home last Tuesday before Megan and Adam's wedding. I am so happy that Spring is on its way!

Oops I did it again...

Yep, I fell off the face of the blogging world AGAIN! What can I say but that right now life's tough and it's impossible to find time to even run to the bathroom let alone to blog!


I have to take a minute to say how grateful I am for the close friends going through the RN program with me because they are my saving grace and I don't know where I would be without them. There are so many days in my life right now where I have no idea which way is up but luckily I have these friends on my speed dial and they can set me straight anytime day or night. Love them. Lots.


People mean well when they call and ask how I've been but little do they know that these days my life consists of feeling like I am a D- mother, F+ wife and a B student...and that's on a GOOD DAY. I've hit a couple brick walls this semester I wasn't expecting but I'm trying my best and am getting through. There have been MANY times lately that I wanted to reach through the phone and slap someone when they ask why I haven't called lately....


It's hard being gone from my little family so much but I have a wonderful husband who is always so good to step in and pick up the slack these days and I can never tell him enough how much he means to me. Love him too.


On a positive note, I have already made it THROUGH midterms so luckily I am on a downhill slope and I can see my summer vacation right around the corner...and let's not forget that GRADUATION is in sight now too!!! It's about damn time too.


If you are thinking right about now that I don't sound like my usual self...well, you are absolutely right. I can only burn the candle from both ends for so long and I have about reached the end of my rope but I know I can do this and one day I will look back and forget the blood sweat and tears I went through and hopefully remember only the good times I had during school.


And hopefully when I am finished...these two boys will remember who I am and still love me too!
