1. Bangs. Right after Emma was born, I got bangs. I had been wanting bangs for quite a while, and clearly was not going to commit to them while preggo. I loved them for about six months. I HATED them for the twelve months it took to grow them back out. I recently sent my friend Caroline some old pictures. After she received them, she sent me a text asking why we had ever allowed her to have bangs. The great irony is that one of the main reasons I got bangs was because they looked so cute on her! I maintain they looked cute on her regardless of what she says!
2. Getting Gas. I hate hate HATE getting gas. In the nine years I have known my husband, I can count on one hand the number of times I have gotten gas if he is in town. It’s awesome, and a reminder that chivalry is not dead.
GO MARKERS!
3. High School Mascots. I saw a bumper sticker this week that boasted of the Terriers… When I hear ‘terrier’ I think little yippy dog. This image does not strike fear in the heart of any opponent… however, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. My high school mascot was The Marker… short for The Hallmark of Excellence.
4. No more free weekends. We are currently scheduling into January. In case anyone is interested in plans… Every year, right after my birthday, things get crazy busy- the holidays, family visits, etc. It is great to be in such demand, but a little frustrating at the same time.
forgot to use this on my birthday post and it is WAY TOO CUTE to not use… so enjoy!
5. My Birthday. I finally had to accept that my birthday is, in fact, over. We decorate our mantle with cards as the occassion arises- Valentine’s Day, birthdays, etc . I took down all of the cards (and put them in my card box in the attic. I have every card I have ever been sent, including cards my mother received when I was born). Now my mantle is bare =(
6. Gangnam Style. How can you not love it? Emma LOVES this song! One of the reasons I think she loves it so much is because her father is AMAZING at replicating it! Enjoy!!
The Markers! Haha, that’s such a funny mascot to have
And I’m in love with Gangnam Style

I liked you in bangs. I thought they looked adorable.
One of the best photos I have of you is with bangs!
Thanks for linking up with Super Sunday Sync, we’re glad you stopped, hope to see you next week!
It says something that the school mascots I’ve had have been Bandits, Bison, and Cowboy Joe–A cowboy. Think I live in the west much?

Yes, I would never ever guess you grew up in Florida!
Love number 2! I think I’ve only had to get gas twice since I’ve been married! So nice. Oh, and I love Gangnam Style! Seriously, I’m obsessed.

Good for you- I think it should be part of the vows that husbands get all the gas!
Oh, my gosh, “So big” is too cute! Bangs, gosh, I haven’t had them in awhile and your friend looks adorable!!
The Buckeyes, guess, that isn’t all that intimidating but don’t tell a Buckeye fan that LOL

thanks… hubs hated the bangs. I liked them, but they were way too much upkeep. As for mascots- I also went to Indiana University… Go Hoosiers?!
I really want to try bangs again but I’m totally too scared to do it. I chicken out every.single.time. You totally rock them!
Ok, so my Emma totally loves that song too! She can head bang and jump with the best of them. HA!
