Where did the time go?

Whoops, I turn around and I've missed another week. Where does it all go? "It" of course referring to time, last week, last month, last year, I blink and it's been a lifetime.


Last weeks theme's were all about matrimony. This may King Man and I will celebrate 5 years! Five, I can't believe it.


On the the pictures, or some of them at least, I still haven't quite caught up. While the topics themselves have to do with marriage, my pictures are about where we are now, what we've done as a couple, and about the wedding day itself.


Blue: This is a picture I took last Monday while we (King Man and I) were at Epcot, enjoying our Christmas present to each other, year passes.




Lucky: So many items are considered lucky, horseshoes, four leaf clovers, a rabbit, or more specifically, it's foot. Luckily, we have 4 rabbit feet.




Tie the Knot: This is the cake topper we had on our cake, I thought it was fitting, since we were both young uns' on our wedding day.



Rings: My engagement ring and wedding band.




White: A picture of a picture. This is a frame given to us for our wedding, the picture inside is me, getting ready for the ceremony at my Parent's house. On top of the frame is my tiara. What can I say, it was a royal affair.



Borrowed: As in, borrowed from my wedding day. :) Me and my Dad.

All in One

Okay, so I owe all of you an apology, classes start and I immediately leave you all in the dust. I am truly sorry. :(

Coincidentally, Princess B and I had a playdate with some good friends on Friday and all of the themes that I missed for the week got covered in the pictures that I took. I just love when the universe works in my favor that way.


So here they are:

Peaceful

Black and White and In My Neighborhood (Get it, the park was In my neighborhood. Ha!)

Two

Next week, I promise I'll do better, especially since I'm the one who picked the themes. I have to get my stuff together.

Historic

Okay, so today's theme is all about "Historic" and once again it got me thinking. What is something I consider historic and by that I mean old, or so I thought?

I was looking around my house thinking, what do I have that's really old when it hit me that maybe I'm thinking about this wrong. Maybe instead of something that's already historic, I could take a picture of something that will be historic, or a part of my history, someday.

So here it is, the last 3 textbooks i'll need for my last semester at community college. At the end of this semester I will be done with my Associates degree, one more step up on the way to my castle.

In honor of Monday

Okay, so I skipped a day, but it was for a really good reason, I promise.

I went to bed early, I know, I know, WHAT? You call that a good reason, but I do, because Princess B slept horribly on Sunday night and I was dragging all day, so I slept.

In Honor of Monday, here is my picture for "Trash or Treasure", I chose treasure.

Although this may seem like an ordinary coffee table, I swear it's magic. Well, not magic for me of course, but for Princess. We bought it from Ikea on Sunday and it's already been, a tea party table, a fort, an animal hospital, a dollhouse. The possibilites are endless and so, it is a treasure.

I have to say that the best part of this treasure for me was the $20 price tag, GO IKEA!!!!

I think I'm warm, I think I'm warm.

At least, that's what I keep telling myself. It is cold, and I know, I live in FL how cold could it be. Um, really cold. This morning as my family and I passed a neighborhood, we saw kids playing in icy grass. Icy grass is a very strange sight.


I'm going to be honest, I didn't take a picture today, I know, shameful. I did take one yesterday that matches today's theme though, so I'm going to use that one.


The theme for today is Winter. Yesterday Princess, King Man and I were headed out to Ikea and it started to sleet? for lack of a better word. It wasn't a lot, but it was there. I was in shock, I mean, I'm in FL, what the heck? When we drove through Dunkin Donuts the employees were in shock at the site of the sleet on our windshield too, lol.


I took the picture below as were sitting in the drive through lane at Dunkin Donuts, I'm inside the car and took a closeup of the hood of King Mans truck.

What am I?

My goodness, what a big question. What am I?

I am so many things, wife, mother, student. Most of the time this is enough, they are the titles I use as I go through my everyday life, when I meet someone new, this is what I tell them. Although true, there is so much more that makes me, me!

What am I? I am a collecter, a romantic, a writer, a dreamer.

I collect tea sets, yes tea sets, miniature ones and some big, I have since I was little.
There is something so dainty about them, one day I hope to display them around my living room on small shelves.









I am a romantic, spontaneous trips, walks in the park, dessert with King Man while Princess B is in bed. These are the romantics I'm talking about, thank goodness I'm married to a man who is just as romantic as I.










I am a writer, what an outlet writing is for me. I've been journaling for as long as I can remember. The picture below is a book I wrote during 4th and 5th grade at a writing workshop I took over summer break.









I am a dreamer. I dream of traveling the world, visiting Greece, Moracco, Tuscany, all 50 states. I think without dreaming, I wouldn't have pushed myself to go back to school. Part of dreaming big starts with the money to do it, and that starts with actually having a career.


So there, that is some of what I am, there is much, much more, but honestly, I don't think I can define myself in just one blog post.

Upside Down or Inside Out

What a day! Although my picture is in no way directly related to the topic above, my day was.

I ended up not needing to help with the big unpacking again today, so I decided to keep Princess B home from school and take her with me on some errands. Drive through at the bank, fine, trip to the store, not so fine.

As soon as she started whining before we even entered, I should have been warned. She spent most of the time in the store trying to randomly grab for one thing or another and complaining she wanted to get out of the cart. Not too bad, so we leave, and as soon as we hit the parking lot, she runs.

Let me just say, she runs much faster than I expected. Into the parking lot she goes with me in hot pursuit, by the time I catch her, we have an audience, lovely. I pick her up, she's screaming, flailing, making a scene and still people stare. Why? Why the staring? It doesn't help the situation, and my little drama queen just feeds off the energy.

:Sigh: So, I tossed her like a sack of potatoes into the car and away we went. We went back to the same play place as that we went to on Wednesday, I couldn't trap myself in the house with her All Day LONG! Afterwards it was off to pick up my husband.

The evening went much better, I'm happy to say. Dinner at my parent's house was followed by game night. I love games, I wonder though, how many families actually play board games anymore? I know people buy them (I'm one of the crazies shopping on Black Friday), but do they play them?

We played Apples to Apples Junior, a very hilarious game I have to say, my Mom plans on buying the adult version this week, should be interesting.

My photo today is all about the spirit of drama that Princess seems to be endowed with. You can read it in her eyes, that expression of, "Na, na, you can't catch me!" My little girl is certainly one that keeps me upside down and my emotions inside out on a daily basis, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
