Hi, Meet Blue

2008-08-18T17:27:00.000-07:00

Here's Blue Spark. You may call him Blue, or Spark, whatever suits you best. I will call him Blue. He's the newest addition to the family. We wont have him until mid September, but I'm already going nuts over this little guy, ask Dean. But can you really blame me?!

Breaking Dawn Review

2008-08-06T05:39:00.000-07:00

So I finished reading Breaking Dawn a few nights ago, and I'm pretty upset about all the hate SMeyer is getting for it.
I loved it.
You gotta admit that this was the ONLY way to make everyone happy... yes there weren't any fight scenes, and the Edward/Bella moments were cut, but so what? This story made they're whole life worthwhile. They all got what the wanted.
Besides, need I remind you this story is all fictional?!?! Stop hating on Nessie! I'm just happy Bella got to experience something she would not have had the option to after she turned. I even liked Bella in this book, she was much more mature.

Anyway.. just my 2 cents.

P.S - Reply to comment in previous post.: I love you too! So much, my Edward/Wolfe.... whatever you prefer. <3

Just so you know...

2008-08-01T05:41:00.001-07:00

I've been waiting for this book for months!!! I know I don't post that often, but just in case you're wondering what I'll be doing for the next couple of days..

SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

2008-07-23T05:49:00.000-07:00

My Road Trip layout (See Below) won the Reminisce layout contest for their new amazing lines. I'm so excited, I'm still in shock :oP You can check out the official post here. I'll be back to post later, I'm speechless right now...

Reminisce Road Trip Layout

2008-07-17T18:02:00.001-07:00

Here's my newest layout. I used the new cute road trip line from Reminisce. I had so much fun making this and reminiscing the great memories Dean and I shared during our trip to Amelia Island. I can't wait to scrapbook more of these pictures!

P.S - Sorry I haven't posted in a while Wy :oP

Celebration Pie Festival

2008-04-20T17:09:00.001-07:00

Porche 911 Carrera . The only car that has captured my mind...

Celebration, oh come ON!!!!

Beer belly showing, face is glowing after readin Michio Kaku...

Dood, its awesome

Super Fly!!!1

My Michio Kaki

So, Celebration...Community of the riches, full of cultural events and life in European style. Simply, beauty. The Pie Festival was great. But since they were offering slices and not only samples, you got full instantly. From banana, apple, strawberry, raspberry, french silk, peach, lemon and many chocolate pies the only direction you can take s either the toilet kneeling or sitting down. Luckily we knew our limits: went for a walk and came back after. It was great except for the heat that gave our back a layer of moisture between the shirt and skin. Gross...

But we had fun...Did we baby? She says that we did!! You better believe her!!

AND WE DO NOT EVEN LIKE PIES...

Ash and I in Full Sail's Backlot!

2008-04-12T10:02:00.002-07:00

It took two years for me to give Ashley a tour of Full Sail. How crazy is that!??! Anyway we had a lot of fun.. Maybe we'll try a photo shoot or something here some day :P

Pumping gas at the fake gas station.

Freaked out in the ghetto.. When in doubt secure your purses!

BOK Sanctuary

2008-03-28T16:51:00.000-07:00

Hi, its Dean. Ta-Da!!!!!! As you may have noticed Adam and Eve returned to the Garden of Eden. A gentleman was kind enough to offer to take a picture of us together after seeing us suffer trying to hold the 5 pound camera wih one hand and take a picture with a short selection of fingers. At least we will be featured in a Fort Myers magazine Weekly Vacation or something like that.
Genius at work. Two rebels trying to capture a moment in time. That is what Mari is about. Capturing memories...Hin -hint-Scrapbook
Itchy and Scratchy Show....Secret passage way to this perfect picture taking place...
After running down a hill...She thinks that she has won a Cup....
At the end of the day...Peace and Im OUT!!!!
No comment...
I give you my rib and you put barbecue sauce on it...
Baby don't "leaf"
Casting for Garden Security Guards..In front of Japanese Lantern....(Mirror image-not intended)
Beautiful Swan. Mari at her best...

Either way, we had lots and lots of fun, walking, sweating, laughing, touching snakes, almost feeding squirrels, taking pictures, seating through 35 minute "bell recital" ( Not Joshua Bell-see previous post) and eating food made by 80-year-olds...A little piece of Heaven on Earth and we have experienced it..Have you?!!!?

Joshua Bell Concert

2008-03-24T19:47:00.000-07:00

Dean and I were able to attend Joshua Bell's Concert with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. It was fun to see him and hear what he can do, the audience kept asking for more. He even did 3 more songs after the end of the concert, I guess you really cant say no to thousands of clapping hands :-)

Photography Class with Milton Heiberg

2008-03-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

Wynett, Eeileen and I went to an Intermediate class held by Milton Heiberg. It was a lot of fun and I think we learned all we need to know to start playing with our cameras and become pros. Below are some of the pictures I took in the backyard. I can't wait to take his advance course!

Cool Room stuff

2008-03-15T14:10:00.001-07:00

I was so excited to get this wall mount from Ikea. Dean and I put it up on my bedroom wall. It's not finished yet, but I think its a pretty cool concept. I really like how its turning out.

Amy and Ryan gave me 2 of these silver racks from the yard sale. It was very nice of them... I love them! My stuffed animals look awesome on one of these!

Amy's Yard Sale

2008-03-15T13:43:00.000-07:00

**Amy and I at her previous house's yard sale** - we were exhausted by now.. so please don't mind our appearance :-P

I'm glad I got to help Amy and Ryan during their yard sale today.. They had tons of fun stuff, including many Star Wars toys, and lots of nice furniture, some of it really hard to pass on. Really, if I had the space I would have totally gotten some for myself. It was fun though, I had never worked, or been at a yard sale before; so it was a really nice experience. But man, some people are CHEAP! We let Ryan do most of the pricing and all of the haggling. Apparently we're no good at that lol.

Overall, I'm always happy to help. Especially someone like Amy and Ryan, they deserve that and so much more.

Rock Climbing

2008-03-01T18:03:00.000-08:00

Today Dean and I went rock climbing. It was, as most of the things we do, an interesting experience. We didn't take any climbing pictures cuz there were a lot of people and we were just starting out, but I promise some fun pictures next time we go (we got the "rock block" so we'll be going there again sometime soon. :-) )

We learned quite a few things today... one of them - things are not always as easy as they look.

I am SO happy I got to do this with my honey. It's a sport that I actually enjoy and am ok at it ;-P.

There's several challenges ahead of us, but whats life without them?

Things you gotta do at least once -

2008-02-26T06:14:00.000-08:00

So I've been thinking, and there's just some things in life you got to experience - hence my pierced tragus :-P.

I'm going to start up a list here of these things/activities. I'll keep adding to them as I think of more :-). Don't worry, this list will not include doing drugs of any kind or smoking cigarettes, I'm strongly opposed to that.

Here we go -

Go Skydiving
Learn to drive a motorcycle
Get a tattoo
Go Zorbing
TRY to snowboard
Ski
Climb a mountain - even a little one
Swim with a dolphin - I've done this before but I want to do it again :-)
Be a member of the audience in a TV show - how cool would that be?
Learn to ballroom dance
Go camping
Scuba dive
Run a marathon

This is all I have for now... It's a pretty solid list though, don't you think?

Summer Lovin'

2008-02-23T21:33:00.001-08:00

I LOVE this page, if I may say so myself :-P

I fell in love with this paper as soon as I saw it. It's as if a vision had come to my mind with some waves and some surfing penguins. Aren't they adorable?

I was so excited the whole time making this, just ask any of the croppers :-)

Crate Paper - Static

2008-02-23T21:27:00.000-08:00

Made this sample layout for Scrappy Boutique using only ONE sheet of pattern paper (double sided).

This is one of the upcoming Crate Paper lines that Stacey ordered from CHA. When she asked for some single sheets so she could make a layout with a "coming soon" sign this is all she got! (It's the cool blue one and the creamy one)

So here's what I did with one sheet of pattern paper. Thanks for looking :-)

Pierced Tragus it is!

2008-02-20T07:57:00.001-08:00

So I did it! I still can't believe it. Whoever knows me knows that this is a big deal for me lol. I just woke up one day and said.. I wanna pierce something, I figured its something that you just got to experience at least once in life (I got my ears pierced in the hospital a few days after i was born so those don't count) plus if I ever get tired of it I'll just take it out.

It was a very interesting experience. I mean, imagine me (dressed as above) walking in a tattoo place. funny sight isn't it? Anyway, Dean was with me the whole time and it was really nice to experience this with him. You're also probably wondering how bad it hurt; to be honest, it didn't. The guy kept asking me if I was ok, and I'm thinking "is he doing anything?" lol. I couldn't believe it wad over so fast! Hopefully it'll heal fast too, it feels kinda sore right now.

Now.. I gotta be honest, I'm not a fan of the ring its way bigger than anything I would want there lol, but in 6 weeks (I know it sounds like a long time but it'll go fast) I get to change it for a tiny little gem, I think it'll be super cute! Right on time for my graduation!

It was an overall fun-different night.. we went to the movies after I got this done and watched Jumper :-)

Funny Day

2008-02-20T07:21:00.000-08:00

Crazy day.. Are you ready for this?

So we decided to finally check out Old Town Kissimmee and we were kinda disappointed. I dunno what we expected to see, maybe they were too high, but it wasn't the "old" we were expected.

Then we drove by celebration, nice town, but not much to do.

We were then trying to find a close by mall to see if I could get my tragus pierced. And OMG we ended up in the Osceola Square Mall. Now I wasn't looking to find not FL Mall or Millenia, but lets just say that it was more like a strip mall. There's nothing wrong with that, just not what we were waiting/wanting to see.

We headed to Prime or Premium Outlets right after, whichever one is the one on Lake Buena Vista lol. Our day was starting to look up.. But it was so hot we got cranky after a while. Not to mention we discovered that Claire's does not pierce your tragus...
*Pictures above were taken here*

Millenia Mall here we come! I dunno in how in the world we thought we were gonna find a piercing place there, but we went anyway. We walked around, had a good time and I ended up buying this really adorable shirt at Macy's that was 40% off.. SWEET! :-D

We were starving by then... So we headed home and went with my parents to Costa del Mar, this peculiar Spaniard restaurant, ate some good "paella" and some awesome dessert.

Then I got sick.. :-(

I warned you it was a crazy day!

Valentines Day

2008-02-20T07:08:00.000-08:00

Isn't he a sweetie? He showed up on my doorstep with all of this!
The balloon that sings, some flowers that I smell every day when I wake up, and every night right before bed, a home-made light thingy (the heart next to the flowers) like the ones you buy at Disney but MUCH better; you press the middle button and then it lights up all over in the signs that say: I love you, I need you, I miss you, etc. It's the sweetest thing ever. And to top it off, cuz this is how awesome he is, he had a little jewelry box on my door's railing with a "rock" - more like those brown things you find next to sidewalks lol- inside (from Good Luck Chuck, signifying that he wants me forever). He just never ceases to amaze me.

So it was a good night.. we ate pizza while watching Rain Man, made that comic strip below and watched lost while munching on the chocolates I forgot to mention above :-P

I guess it was what Valentine's Day is supposed to be about. Full of love.

Twilight - Official Cast Pictures

2008-02-19T08:42:00.000-08:00

So.. if you are a reader, you gotta read Twilight.

Its about love and vampires, but mostly about love. Anyway, I'm excited cuz they're making it a movie! I doesnt come out till late, late this year, so there's not much to say about it.

If you're not a reader just wait for the movie to come out.. Hopefully it'll be as good as the book.

Here's the official cast pictures for the Cullen's family (the vampires with supernatural abilities)

From left to right:
Emmet, Rosalie, Esme, Edward (Main character), Carlisle, Alice (My fave) and Jasper.

I'm morphing HA HA

Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Dean and I had fun today.. few more pics to follow. But I wanted to post this right away, we made it together, his idea, my knowledge of photoshop, and our creative inputs.

We had to compromise quite a bit, but we're pleased with the result. It's our first comic!

Big Tree Park

2008-02-12T20:20:00.000-08:00

Dean and I spent Sunday together.. It was exciting to have the whole day to ourselves. We went to the Flea Market at Sanford (Don't even get me started on that. Let me just say I don't plan on going back!) and after to the Big tree Park. It was kinda small but nice. There were two cool - looking trees and one of the is the oldest in America! Then we watched Good Luck Chuck - Funny movie I tell ya.. Overall it was a great day!

Dean's getting eaten by the camera tripod/spider! YIKES!

Big tree number one - I believe this one is the oldest one. Cool isn't it?

*no comment*

Big tree number two - this one is the companion of big tree number one. How sweet...

Isn't he handsome? This picture is adorable, no matter what he says :-P

And then there's us.. being silly as always.

2008-02-12T20:11:00.000-08:00

Wynett, Eileen and I went to Disney Magic Kingdom last Friday. It was so much fun! we took tons of pictures and rode on several memorable rides. I'm glad I got to do this with them. I sure hope we get to hang out again some time soon!

Riding Buzz Light Year! I think I kicked their butt! :-P

Wynett fell in love with all the pirate stuff at Disney, we didn't get any but we have the pictures for the memories..
I don't remember where we are here.. but it looks like we're having a blast!

OH! the teacups.... I don't even know what to say about this.. They really didnt know what was coming, I told them to hold for dear life but I don't think they believed me ;-) I'm pretty sure they both enjoyed it though, we couldn't stop laughing.

Think Pink - Go Green

2008-02-12T20:03:00.001-08:00

Ash's Birthday Present

2007-11-21T19:59:00.000-08:00

This is something I put together for Ash's 20th birthday present. Everything is mounted on a medium white canvas. I wanted to make something cute and practical she could hang in her room and used daily. She really liked it, hope you do too! :-)

Untitled

2007-11-20T20:46:00.000-08:00

This is a piece I worked on today, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It was my first attempt to do something like this. I would really like to make a series... we'll see.

The first image is the finished piece, the second image is what I started with. Hope you like it!

2007-10-26T06:08:00.000-07:00

This is my final art project.. I took the papers I designed and made a composition! I really like how it turned out... hopefully the teacher will too ;-)

Paper Line Design

2007-10-22T19:46:00.001-07:00

I made these for a school project, it was the most exciting thing I've made at school so far, I'm very happy with the outcome. I can see me doing this for a living.. Every piece is 100% original. Hope you guys like it! :-)

more challenges!

2007-10-07T20:09:00.000-07:00

so this is what i did today!! and even though it was cool to get these done.. i am NEVER spending a whole day in my house.. AGAIN!.. those of you who know me.. will understand. I like them cuz they are totally different from each other, and the best part is that now i got 4 layouts for the journal done! Cant wait to do more!

What's your fear?

2007-10-06T10:00:00.001-07:00

This the first challenge I've ever done! Its part of my "This is me" journal. I didn't know how to start so I decided to go with something I was definitely sure of... bees freak me out!

Flower Shirt Design

2007-10-05T14:23:00.001-07:00

This is the other shirt I designed for Scrappy Boutique.. I think this one is my favorite one lol.. its hard to pick though.. they are like my babies :-P

Circle Shirt Design

2007-10-04T17:47:00.000-07:00

This is my friend Wynett wearing/holding one of my own designs! how exciting! Scrappy Boutique wanted to carry a shirt that was original, different and had a scrapbook feel... thats when I came into place! It was so much fun designing this shirt, and to be honest it was super exciting and stress free, considering that Stacey (my very first client lol) gave me total creative freedom. I'm really happy with the outcome, and can't wait to see the other design!

Doesn't Wynett look adorable?

Thank you, Stacey, so much for giving me this opportunity, you have no idea how exciting this is for me! :-D

and remember... Create Dream. Scrapbook.

Capture the Memories

2007-10-02T10:07:00.000-07:00

This was pretty much all we did on the trip... j/k. but seriously, i think we had a silent agreement, he would take pictures of me, and i would take pictures of him. I loved it!

Stone Mountain Hotel

2007-10-02T10:05:00.000-07:00

We absolutely loved this hotel!!! the view was awesome and the company even better! I wish to have many other opportunities to share something so beautiful with him.

3 Year Anniversary

2007-10-01T21:25:00.000-07:00

just us..

me finishing the table, getting all the delicious food ready!

more of us..

my baby right after reading his menu card.. ;-)

For our 3 year anniversary my baby and I decided to do something different.. so I planned a romantic dinner with candles, a chocolate fountain and tango dance lessons.. we had a really good time, it was different, fun, delicious, and definitely romantic..

Puppies just make you smile!

2007-10-01T21:04:00.001-07:00

Dean and I went to the puppy store this morning, we had a blast! Sophia and Krull are just the most adorable puppies ever, it took us forever to decide which puppies we wanted to play with, but for some reason we kept going back to them. Getting a puppy is definitely one of our long-term goals, we both love them - obviously.. lol so hopefully we will be able to get one.. or two... soon. Even though it might not be Sophia, or Krull, they will remain in our memory for being a big part of an important decision that will impact our future... we want puppies... together.

Name inspiration - How to lose a guy in 10 days (Princess Sophia and Krull the warrior king ;-P)

I've been tagged!

2007-09-12T19:02:00.001-07:00

Amanda tagged me and here are the rules: I must post the rules, then list 7 random things about me and then tag 7 others to do the same by leaving them a comment.... I'll think about 7 random things about me but I don't really have anyone to tag, so here it goes...

1) I love reading scrapbook magazines, but I don't think I've ever used a layout for inspiration... I dunno why, I always love them but it seems like I never remmy them when I'm actually working on a layout. Maybe I should save some money on those subscriptions lol

2) I hate leaving phone messages, I always feel like I'm gonna say something stupid and its gonna get played over and over again... it's happened. :-S

3) I can not stand the Florida's summer heat.. hate it.. it makes me feel like I don't wanna do anything outside...

4) I love romantic things... dates... actions.. anything that includes my honey...

5) Unlike most people, I don't wanna be rich, have a big house or have no responsibilities. I think life is about making what you have work and be happy with it. I want to be able to live comfortable and afford all that my family needs, I know its not easy, but thats ok with me.

6) People that drink to get drunk piss me off. enough said.

7) many people consider me a mature girl.. perhaps a little too much.. I have gotten the "you act like a mom" comment quite a bit... i dunno how i feel about that lol

Road Trip

2007-09-06T14:07:00.000-07:00

This photos were taking sometime within the 12 hours we were driving to Stone Mountain.. It was fun and different.. but unconfy at times lol.. by the way check out the cute car!!! I made it! lol

Just me..

2007-09-06T14:02:00.000-07:00

I found this picture in the 1500 lot i had from all the Tennessee pictures.. and I just thought it was so fun! Dean took it spontaneously.. and thats what i love about it.. it just expresses how much fun it is for me to spend some time with him no matter what we're doing.. :-)

My new hair!!!!

2007-09-06T13:58:00.000-07:00

This is it... Its so different but so much fun!!!! my hair hasn't been this short in over 5 years so its definitely a challenge lol.. but I love it!!! Fun..Fresh.. and well Short!!!!

Flower Garden

2007-09-03T18:34:00.000-07:00

My baby and I at the Harry P. Leui garden. It was pretty and fun, but way too hot!

I can't wait to visit again! Next time we'll bring the big camera, sound recorder and video camera.. but we'll do that in winter!!! hopefully there be some bloomed flowers then as well..

New Glasses

2007-09-03T18:31:00.000-07:00

He looks so adorable!!!! I cant wait to scrapbook these pictures, my baby had to get glasses :-( but he just looks so cute.. I can't help to love them!.. I think he likes them too!)

I Hope You Dance

2007-09-03T18:29:00.000-07:00

Funny story this is.. Dean wanted to take me to ballroom dance class he found online... so I was all excited and up for it!! funny thing is when we got there we realized that it was a senior center and we couldnt find any open doors to go inside.. so we wondered for a little to see if anyone would show up.. and to our surprise some people did... but not people in our age group.. actually not even a little close to it lol.. anyways you just had to be there!! it was so much fun.. but we decided to leave, it was starting to get way too unconfortable.. when we were close to my house my baby told me to pull over next to this lake, next thing i knew we had slow music playing from my car and we were "dancing"! it was so much fun!!!!

I used Basic Grey - Mellow for this layout

My Hotel Story

2007-09-03T18:20:00.000-07:00

I really hope Dean likes this one!!! I used Cosmo Cricket - Be good. and Tre Jolee's letters.

Heres my space.. I don't really do much work here.. too small :-P but its the space I use to collect all my scrapbook supplies.. I'm sure all you scrapbookers out there can relate ;-)

Pretty Door

2007-08-27T18:03:00.001-07:00

This is my bathroom door.. I know.. I know.. I must be nuts.. well I am, but I actually think it turned out cute. I did this out of a whim, one day I decided I wanted to do something different while I was taking a bath.... I guess the door was the first thing I saw, therefore the first thing to do!

at Chilis

I think this layout speaks for itself! it was a fun date with the sweetest guy.. We went to Chili's for dinner right before going to an Italian Concert at the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra.

Rainbow Falls

2007-08-24T19:59:00.000-07:00

This layout was really fun to make!!! the border is chipboard, so I covered it with green paint, then sanded it, distressed the edges with gold paint, and stamped several different designs throughout it. These pictures were taken on our way up to Rainbow Falls at the Smokey Mountains, Tennessee. I think a lot of then could make great screen savers!

Melting Pot

Dean doesn't really like to celebrate his birthday, but I'm like the total opposite way, so its really hard for me when his "special" day comes around cuz I hate to impose presents or activities... it is HIS day after all...so I decided to take him to the Melting Pot for dessert, he LOVES chocolate and I had heard excellent things about theirs... the definitely stood up to our standards!

For this layout I used Junkitz paper, cut all the circles to make the heart and position the pictures kinda like a collage. I also cut some paisley's and arranged them to look like a flower on the lower left corner. The letters were cut by me and doodled as well.

We love you Spidey!!!

2007-08-24T19:50:00.000-07:00

So this layout was one of those you buy the paper for before you even take the pictures... we love Spiderman and I knew the movie was coming out so I figured I would take some pictures and and use this cool paper...It worked out great, we ended up going to see it at the IMAX with my parents and had a really good time. I cut the pictures like this for the first time and I was freaking out!!! I'm happy with the way it came out and how it gives the illusion of 3d space.

My name on my door

This was another fun project, I did this with some of my favorite people at a staff crop we had at Angela's house, her husband cut out all of our names out of wood, so we all got together to decorate them with our favorite colors. Of course I used pink and orange :-D.

Towel Holder (?)

2007-08-24T10:00:00.000-07:00

To go with my Pink and Orange room, I also have a Pink and Orange bathroom, it apparently pays off to be an only child lol... So I got a white towel holder at target and decided to make it my own by painting it and adding ribbon and flowers.

Pink and Orange Vase

2007-08-24T09:57:00.001-07:00

Another decoration for my Pink and Orange room! Got the vase at target and decorated with paint, prima flowers, making memories flower, paper, ribbon and my trusty white pen!

"I miss you" mini project

2007-08-24T09:47:00.000-07:00

I hadn't seen Dean in a full week and I really wanted to let him know how much I missed him, so I went and got him "300" the movie, some tasty sweets and made him this little card holder. My inspiration was a Disney photo envelope (the ones they give you when you buy pictures at the park -- Courtesy of Bette) I kinda went ahead and made my own version of it and decorated the front. Velcro was used to secure the flap and different sized cards were placed inside the envelope. I think he was surprised, and happy to know I was thinking of him all week.

Songs that make me think of you...

This was a little something I made for my honey for Christmas. I used a scrap CD for the cover and then cut circles out of card stock for the body. I had a lot of fun making this altered project, and now we both have fun looking through it.

Congrats Card

2007-08-24T09:34:00.000-07:00

I made this card for Dean's Graduation. Simple but cute, it kinda opens both ways, a little from the bottom and a whole lot from the top lol.. He just loved his congrats card!

2 and a half years of love!

2007-08-24T08:46:00.000-07:00

This book was made out of regular card envelopes (Thanks to Amanda Torres for instructions and inspiration.) It was a lot of fun to make, Amanda, Amy's Amanda, and I went over to Amy's house and worked on it all day... I think we all did a great job. I used pictures I had with Dean since we started going out (Thats why on the cover it says 04 lol) it was fun to remember some of the great moment we had from the beginning of our relationship, and how we had changed. I also used My minds eye - Magnolia for this project.. I love this line!!!

Deja Vu Pre-Screening

2007-08-24T08:42:00.000-07:00

Full Sail was giving out free tickets to see Deja Vu's Pre-screening. I'm so glad we got there early.. it was packed! This layout is very simple.. used My minds eye - Magnolia, Hambly rubons and some doodling!

Me and my baby..

2007-08-24T08:39:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love this picture!!! It was taken right before Dean's graduation, It was so hot outside, but that didn't stop us from shining bright!! Mostly my baby after he got his diploma and award for his communications class. I'm so proud of him... I think it shows.

Me as a "Cowgirl"

2007-08-24T08:34:00.000-07:00

Horseback riding was so much fun!!! I was looking forward to this throughout our whole trip to Tennessee, and let me tell you.. it was worth it!!!! I cant wait to do this again some time! Dean almost didn't come along with me and my dad.. I'm so glad he did, even though "Old Oakie" was slow and stubborn I think he did enjoy the ride.

My much loved paint can
