Wait....Your Baby?

It's been fairly common knowledge for the last several years that I absolutely ADORE Mustangs (like the car...not the animal). When I was 11, I wanted nothing more than a brand new, hot pink, Mustang convertible. A year later, I decided that a nice canary yellow Mustang GT was much more my speed--take note, I still get goosebumps when I hear that lovely engine roar to life from some nearby parking lot. At the ripe age of 13, I decided the vintage 'stangs were my favorites. Specifically, 1967, pink. In case you haven't noticed...I was obsessed with pink for a good majority of my preteen and early teen years.

Well, by the time I was 14, I had given up any hopes of ever getting my own Mustang. It's fun to dream, right? But it just wasn't realistic.

Hm....I was right on one account. I still don't have a Mustang....but my big bruh does! My awesomely amazing grandparents bought Jared a car! How awesome is that!?

No, it's not mine, and I can live with that. The important thing is that I get to drive it. *evil laugh* Ah my minions...my evil plan is unfolding so perfectly.

As for me...I've gotten over the idea of my dream Mustang...I've decided to focus on the far more realistic idea of a completely restored '67 Chevy Impala....black of course. Is that too much to ask? ;)

My Momma and I....

....are having a COMPLETE BLAST figuring out photography! The last few days we've been able to take family pictures for two of our family's friends, and its just been so incredibly fun!

I never realized how much I enjoyed photography...but lately, it's been an incredibly enjoyable thing for me. As a matter of fact, I decided to start up a photography page! The link is on the top of this blog, but you can visit it here. I'm so excited for you all to drop by and let me know what you think about the pictures I've gotten so far!

On another note...do you ever have those strange experiences that just make you laugh your head off, and then they end up being inside jokes for years? Well, I've got one of those.

(...a bunch actually, but that's not important right now.)

OCTAGON!

Yes Mom...I know you're reading this, and I know you're laughing. Everyone else...I know you're all wondering what the heck is so funny about octagons. Well, nothing is funny about octagons, but the other night my mom and I got on a roll with playing weird made up dice games. At one point, we were seeing how many rolls it would take us to get a Yahtzee (5 dice of the same number). At first, we were just counting normally, then that got boring...so we got on the floor and my mom started using different words for each number (e.g. uno, twa, thr, quatro, etc. etc.) So, we were chuckling then, but for some weeeeeird reason, the thing that made us laugh hardest was when she said "octagon". I mean, we weren't just laughing...we were rolling around on the floor, ribs aching, tears flowing, unable to breath, laughing. Why???????

????? I honestly couldn't tell you. I think the rest of the family thought we were going insane...but anyways. It's a good memory right? So, I leave you with this epic and incredible video of awesomeness.

The Best Things in Life Aren't Things...

...but the greatest thing about life is that God even cares about that! I just can't quit marveling at the idea that Christ knows and cares so much that He even arranges the extra little things for me.

You know what my Heavenly Daddy did for me?

He gave me Star Trek Voyager season 2...what's more, at an affordable price. I know so many of you simply cannot relate to that particular topic, but I have to tell you, that pretty much made my weekend. I found it in the middle of the Wal Mart electronics section. For the longest time I just stood there, staring with mouth agape at the DVD pack that held many of my childhood friends and memories. I was literally shaking as I hurried to finish up the rest of the grocery shopping with Mom so I could get home and revitalize my inner trekkie. Oh dear...it felt amazing.

So...I kinda sorta forgot about Short Answers again today. *sideways grin* But I figured instead of canceling altogether, I would just post all of the questions for YOUR kids to answer, and I'll post my brother's answers later on. Sound good?

...Good, cuz it's happening. heehee.
