Is It Just Me Or....

Does everyone know certain people that are hard be around? What really strikes me and upsets me are the people that say one thing but do the total opposite. I guess the proper word for them would be hypocrites?? Sorry guys, I just need to get some things off of my chest; it tends to bulid up quickly!

Yesterday was Richard's memorial service. It was very nice; we had a lot of people show up and I think that made my great grandma very happy. We had great food and the weather was nice. Perfect day. Tomorrow I'm taking my great grandma out for a little while. I think we might go to Goody's then to eat lunch. We need some alone time together.

Today is Lauryn's birthday party. I'm super excited about it! I made Lauryn's gift this year and I really hope she likes it. Yeah Casy, it's the same thing I got Emily. I can finally post these pictuers becuse I know Danielle is busy getting ready for the party and won't have time to see this!

Happy Birthday Lauryn!!

R.I.P Richard

Today my family lost someone. I'm sure you all have read about my great grandmother and how close I am to her. Well her husband Richard, who I've known almost my whole life, passed away today. It hit me hard because my great granmda really loved him and he took care of her. They laid down for a nap earlier today and we think he had a heart attack. My grandma, who is 95, is taking it well. I went over there today to make sure she was ok. He will be missed. My day has been pretty droopy.

Wordful Wednesday-Yeah We're Flooded

So lucky me, I was in the path of that big storm that came sweeping across Kentucky and Tennessee. We got TONS of rain ALL weekend. The Kentucky Derby ran on Saturday, yeah it was nasty and muddy. I didn't have my camera at work with me but I did have the handy dandy iPhone. So I got some pictures of the water as it started rising. Our parking lot is pretty much all the way flooded, but we weren't sent home. (Not cool).

This is Kentucky River, yesterday around 12:30.

And this was my parking lot this morning. That is my white car on the right. Around 1:00 the water was covering where my car was and still rising. We had to evacuate the parking lot and park in another parking lot. I walked more today at work than I ever have!

That over there is Buffalo Trace Distillery and the back parking lot to another building by mine. My agency has three two buidings and this one was pretty close to being under water.

Remember that ramp from the first picture?? It's gone.

Remember that cute little bench from the second photo? It's gone. So all this happened within about 24 hours. I can't wait to go to work tomorrow; not.

I ♥ Faces Week 18-Then & Now

This week at I heart Faces, the theme is "Then & Now". I thought this picture would be great of my dad. It's him from 1967 and then 2010. He still makes that face he is making in the first photo! Super funny! Enjoy!

My First Photo Session...

Yesterday I took Lauryn's 2nd birthday pictures. It wasn't really a professional photo session but it was the first time I had taken pictures of someone for a purpose. I was so excited! Of course Lauryn was great! So here are some of my favorites, I haven't enhanced any yet, these are the originals. Let me know what you guys think; I love feed back. If there are any things I could change or work on let me know!

I had to throw in this one of Rylee!

Recappin'

Shew I hope you guys are ready for this one! I had to make a list on my phone because I have so much I want to tell you all!

Do you have someone in your family that you're close to and they're your best friend? I do. It's my great grandmother. She will be 96 this year, yes I am very blessed to have her in my life. I used to stay with her during the summers and even as I got older I called her everyday and still went to visit her. But here lately, I have slacked. I've been so busy with work, school, and baby girl that I haven't made time for her. I do feel bad about this but I won't let it happen again. She loves when I just call her, but today Rylee and I made a visit over to see her. It was great and Rylee kept saying, "Hey Mawma". I got some great pictures of the two.

On top of having a great day for Rylee and me; Aaron had a great day too. He got registered for classes for the fall semester. He's pretty excited and I am too.

I am going to need some help figuring out what to do with my hair. This is the longest I have ever had it but I don't know if I want to keep it long or cut it short, since it's almost summer. Plus I'm not sure about the color. I'll have a couple of pics for you guys to look at so I know what will look best. Until then, have a great night!!

I ♥ Faces Week 17-Smiles

Heellloo!

This is how I spent my Thursday night, watching Aaron perform. Rylee loved it too! She kept wanting to go up to him screaming "DADDDDY".  Then she went to the bathroom and had to announce to everyone there that she "pooped", so her and I had to leave. Ahh what a great age!
