Hello Beautiful

So I was just looking on the internet at cars I cannot afford

. . . kinda a favorite passtime of mine. . .

and found this.

Someday it would be nice to have one. HA HA HA.

. . .I'll keep dreaming. . .

Cause this one is used and 3 years old, and its still 43,000 buckaroos.

Maybe I should just be grateful for what I have.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Life is good, I am happy.

Here She Is! . . . Introducing Miss Mariah Elle McLaws

It has been too long since I last posted, BUT I think you will forgive me after you see this. . .

I mean, after you have seen her. . .since I don't think most of you have!

So here she is. . . Miss Mariah!

These were taken with my phone, so they aren't super clear, my apologies.

7lbs and 20inches

She loves to stretch, it's so stinkin cute.

Grandpa

(I wish you could see the pure bliss on his face when he's holding her)

Grandma

It is so sweet when Mariah cries and my mom picks her up, because she almost immediately stops crying.

Our family couldn't be happier. Honestly. . .we love her SO MUCH and can't get enough of her! Welcome girlfriend! We are so glad you are with us!

*yes I added two new photos.

Pain

My life lately has consisted of PAIN.
Not ordinary, "Oh I have a headache" pain,

but some real sucky, " I feel as if I might die" pain.

. . . Equation numba One. . .

title: wake boarding

My head + A wake board= Pain

Explanation: I don't really have legit one,

so basically I was going along wake boarding,

being careful to stay in the wake because I cant do anything cool,

and I did a face plant. . . and ate it soooo hard.

Hard enough that somehow the board went behind me,

then over my shoulder to hit me in the cheek.

"Is that physically possible?" you might be thinking.

My only answer is, " I guess so"

. . .Equation numba Two. . .

title: wisdom teeth

my mouth - four teeth = Pain

Explanation: I got my wisdom teeth out.

IV, Laughing gas, the whole shee-bang.

I ate mashed potatoes and ice cream for like 5 days.

Luckily for me I did not swell,

and didn't start hurting til day 5 or 6,

when I started eating real food.

If you would like, since I don't have a picture of the day it happened,

you can imagine me looking like this. . . even though I didn't swell too bad.

This is me a couple days afterwards with my Whole Grain friends.

. . .that is all. . .

Lake Trip

SO. . . yesterday I got to go to the lake. . . FINALLY! I had a blast. I love my friends and our group right now. So fun. My friend, Thomas Hogle, took Vianca, Kristina, Jason, Clayton, Fletcher, Lane, and I out to Saguaro for a bit of fun in the sun.

I didn't attempt wakeboarding yet, but maybe next time.

Yesterday, I basically conquered the tube. . . and gave myself whiplash haha.

Here are a few pics of our adventure. . .

PS: We went to Los Taquitos afterwards and let me tell you, it has never tasted so good.

We were starving, and it just hit the spot. I ate my burrito like a savage.

My Girls! . . .well, two of them.

Our Captain (aka: thomas)

Clayton, just chillin.

I asked Kristina to pose with the sunlight so perfectly behind her,

and this is what I got. Love her.

kristina, vianca, and me

Vianca and Jason had matching sunglasses, so I took a picture of their twinner-ness.

Fletcher on the tube

Lane and Clayton after getting thrown off. . . you can't tell, but Clayton is pulling up his pants in this picture hahaha. . . he informed me of this when he was looking at my camera.

I had so much fun and I am looking forward to more amazing lake trips this summer with my friends, slash learning how to wakeboard.

Good Times

My reading as of late has consisted of this:

and this:

When I opened the latter to begin reading, I found this:

It was probably one of the greatest nights ever. Ryan is the best cause he didnt even read Harry Potter and he came with me. Seriously when I found it I laughed for like 5 minutes. I love and miss my best friend Ry Dix in Croatia.
