Well I guess we will start with an Ant update. Hes about to graduate kindergarden. Im about to be a mom of a 1st grader. :( Hes getting so big now. Hes over 4 ft tall and weighing in at about 65 lbs(hes on a restricted calorie counting diet dont get me started on that). Last week we went to the introduction meeting for tiger scouts. This should be interesting the boy cannot be more "ewww mom theres dirt on my hand" lol. This weekend coming up we will be doing an over night at the scout camp. Another this should be interesting since last summer I brought him camping and he screamed till 11:30 at night cause he didnt want to sleep. There will be a bon fire and he loves those but cannot have smores anymore. So that means mom cant have a smore either. :( O and heres the first day of school pic I promised:
Next I guess will be my craft update. Thats always a fun subject for me. Well I've organized and put aside my scrapbooking. Yikes I cant beleive I actually said that, but yes its true I put most of it away. All with easy access of course lol. Ive found a new love of jewelry making and am apparently pretty good at it since I have been selling peices since the start. This jewelry making started due to the fact my boyfiend, yes I said boyfriend but we will get to that in a little while, is allergic to metal and I wanted to make him a necklace for xmas. So I took myself down to ACMoore(I know bad idea right hehe) and looked around the jewelry section. Well I found hemp and then I saw the rest of the section. Thats all it took I was hooked lol. So I made him some hemp necklaces and a hemp bracelet, manly ones of course, and on I went to make myself some crazy dangly earrings cause anyone that knows me knows I love wild earrings. Wore them to work and the girls loved them they asked me to makes some and so I started making earrings. Well as any craft goes I had to grow with it. I then began making bracelets and necklaces mostly silver some gold. I also learned the art of wire wrapping and make rings as well. Here are some quick pics so you can see what I've been up to:
Well I guess the last update should be the love life lol. Cant believe I have one again. And as usual its filled with drama and lots of it. You remember that wedding I went to and photographed. Thats were it all started. Like I had said before the wedding went as well as can be expected and since I was having problems with a guy who just doesnt understand that hes a complete douch bag with the way he treats me I drank WAY to much. Well at least I think that 15 shots of tequilla and two wine coolers is to much lol. Well in my drunkin stuper I met my soulmate. Yep I said it soulmate. His name is Jeremiah (I call him JD tho). Get this it was my friends (the one getting married) son. I dont remember much after I started drinking but I do remember I did think he had a nice ass. The whole next day, while recovering from the worst hangover of my life, I kept looking out the window in hopes that I would be able to "run into" him. No luck with that. I never got to see him before he left. Being the nut that I am I found him on facebook thru his moms page and friend requested him. Isnt it obvious he accepted lol. Apparently hes pretty shy cause I had to do the chasing on this one. I kept trying to make coversation with him. It wasnt easy at least he didnt make it easy lol. Eventually I got him talking to me to the point we spent hours on the phone. It was like being a teen again.
Anyway on October 6th right before my trip back home to spend time with my friends (including the douch bag) we made it official. He was my boyfriend finally.
Well as of last week we have been together for 8 months. I love him more than I ever thought I could love someone. I never thought I could give my heart again so willingly but he has it and I know its safe with him. I dont think that I've ever thought about the future so much with anyone. We've talked about our future. Everything from kids, marriage, where we would live, what we want to do. We've talked about dream houses and everything. I am one lucky happy girl. The biggest problem is the 1500 miles in between us. Ya I know yikes. Talk about long distance relationships. We seem to be working this out, well the best we can at the moment. He says hes in love with me and tells me all the time how much. Its just hard cause I'm stuck here and hes well hes stubborn as a mule and wont move here (yet ;)) I have a trip planned to go see him this summer that should be fun. So you should be getting an update from me while I'm there the first week of August. Heres a couple of pics of my prince.
Well it getting late so I'll wrap this up. My boy is growing, my crafts are changing, and my hearts singing. Till next time. Love from Maynard.
I saw the previews for this the other day. Damn I needed a cold shower after that commercial!
