Poison Ivy!!!

It's growing in my backyard AND on me! :(

(must finish my homework then I will come back and post a long awaited update and a revamp this blog!)

Must be the Year of the "Bird"

Belmont 2009 "Summer Bird" was the winner! Loved it!
There's always next year, Calvin!

Kentucky Derby 2009

WOW! That is all I have to say! Mine that Bird was phenomenal!!! (Not to mention the pay off at 50-1)

I so wish I had enough time in my day to update! Maybe I will just have to make time soon! Finals week at Cameron is the first week of May so hopefully I will have time before summer school starts. Oh yeah! I'm graduating in December!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

I will leave you with a pic of me living life in the "fast lane".
I'm the "dog" (driving the SUV) getting ready to chase the "rabbit" (dodge charger) during my week long law enforcement tactical driver training class. We had a BLAST!!

Renaissance Style

E's class had a field trip to Dallas this weekend. On Friday they went to 6 Flags and then Saturday they went to the Scarborough Fair, Renaissance Festival, in Waxahachie , Texas. I had to work on Friday but I decided to go to the Saturday event. I drove down to C's house on Friday afternoon. We spent the evening at a restaurant visiting with his friends. Good times! On Saturday we drove to Waxahachie and had a great time. I was so excited to get a chance to take pictures. With work and school being so demanding lately, I haven't had the time get my camera out and play in a long time.


Leather handbags and tissue holders.... kinda creepy yet sooo interesting!



We also saw some very interesting individuals!


My favorite picture from today has to be the Elephant and the Bald Eagle. (I don't know why, but they are)

We also saw a few things I could have done without and it will take a while to erase them from my memory (don't ask). Let's just leave it at some things are better left unseen.

All in all it was a very fun day! I learned alot about the Renaissance Era, including the fact that I am so very glad I didn't live during that time!

Love is in the air!!!

He asked me to marry him!

Finals week

I am beginning to wonder if I will EVER graduate!

Every day night sounds

What I have to listen to every evening around bedtime!

Oh the joys of living on the edge of a military installation!

Burrrrr

As soon as I thaw out I will update! It's just too dang cold!

Mooned

Still loving my new lens I got from Christmas... I can't wait for warm weather so I can out to the mountains. This moon pic was taken 01/08/09 at 6pm from my driveway :o)
