Time is flying

I can't believe it is already June. School is out and the year is almost half over. Time sure does fly. Why is that?? When you are a kid in school, summer is the longest time. Feels like half a year. And the school year itself feels like an eternity. Once you graduate the years get shorter and shorter. It's amazing how that works. I wish I could slow it down a bit just so I can take it all in. I don't wanna miss a thing. (Do you hear Steven Tyler??) I have this upcoming birthday...according to mom's myspace, there are only 31 days left. (Woo hoo cuz that is the start of my vacation!) But man, I can't believe there's gonna be a 4 in front now. I will probably have to move up a box on surveys...how I hate that! I won't be 30 something anymore. Wow...it went so fast! And kids. They grow so fast too! How does that happen??? I look at Taylor and find it hard to believe she was smaller than Tristan is when I got her. Now she's very womanly and turning 15 in November. Tristan is a little man, growing each and every day. Surprises me with something more grown up each day. One day they are a baby and the next, they have boobs. Tristan keeps asking when he will have a beard like daddy. I tell him mommy can't even think about that but he will have one someday. I dunno...I guess that's why I like photography. I can take pictures every day and when I look back I have a story. And it makes it so easy to remember the little things.

Yesterday when I got home I found a new patio table, chairs and umbrella on my patio. It is really nice but I'm not sure we really had the money for it. But we have it now. Too bad we didn't have it for Tristan's party. We have wanted one since we've moved into this house. So I guess it's about time. It's been almost 9 years. Can you believe that??? My 9 year wedding anniversary is in December. We will have been together for a decade overall in December.

Side note...George Clooney is on Jay Leno right now. Can you say hot???

Oh and today, I showed off my new cousin Sneezey Louisey to my friends at work. How cute is she??? Red hair! I just couldn't believe that new pic they posted. So now I think Laura and John need to work on some video clips for us.

We have a lot to do for our vacation still. Need to rent the rent-a-car. Guess we are going to get a van. Got our new portable DVD player in the mail today (free gift for signing up with the satellite TV). So now both kids will have one. Taylor will have the lap top and Tristan will have his PSP. Isn't technology great?? I have to get my hair cut and colored. Wish I could throw in a quick lyposuction job but guess that is out of the question. j/k Taylor got her hair colored today - it looks really nice. Got rid of that black finally. The boys need to spiff up too. Don't wanna scare Tina. Chance's new plan is to make a short detour to Gettysburg on the way. I've got my PA native friend checking on how feasible that is. And of course, I'll visit with Tina about it too. I still can't believe I will have 2 whole weeks off and get to see her. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I'm gonna be worse than the kids. Are we there yet???

We saw Stevie Nicks last week. AWESOME concert. She sounds so good live. It was an old geezer show...Chance and Taylor couldn't believe people sat down later in the show. But I had to remind them their stamina isn't as good as it used to be. Stevie was great whether you were sitting or standing. Taylor enjoyed it too.

Guess that's all that's rumbling around in my head right now. It's getting late and I need to rest. I work the late shift tomorrow so I can sleep in an extra 45 minutes. Woo hoo.

Catch ya later.
