Worth It

My clothes all smell like a camp fire

The scale has tipped in the wrong direction

I overdosed on birthday cake and bubbly

I may have fibbed about my birthday and was included in on a stranger's 50th birthday champagne toast at the restaurant we went to for dinner

My wallet is aching from my over expensive but completely amazing massage

Despite it all,

Vermont Weekend was totally worth it

This Week

It's cold. Like Bone Chilling Cold. Like 12. Degrees.

("I want my mom!" said in whiny 2 year old voice)

In order to avert my attention to the icicles forming around my nostrils I turned to baked goods and bubbly.

That's cake. In a mason jar.

And mini champs. Seriously?

All wrapped up for my home girl's 30th birthday which so happens to also be

our Annual Vermont Weekend

(hurrah!)

I'm planning on handing these out on our Sleigh ride.

You heard.

But just as you are about to get jealous, just remember..

it's 12

degrees

So we're even. 

2013

Happy New Year!!

Doppleganger

Did I tell y'all the news that I have a doppleganger?

It was brought to our attention by one of the hubster's friends.

I was all excited because one of my favorite past times with the hubs is figuring out who people's celebrity doppelgangers are, particularly dogs to humans.

(Like Hub's German Shepard looks like George Clooney)

 I know super weird.

Hubs is pretty terrible at this game and declares everyone a different ethnicity to our friend Lexie. Example: "Look at that girl! She looks like an Asian Lexie!" You get the idea.

Anyways! Back to my doppleganger, I was hoping it would be an A-list celeb or a Victoria Secret model (hey a girl can dream) but instead it's this chick....

Do you see it? I kind of do.

She's the B-list celeb that can be watched as the annoying Ex Girlfriend in cinematic master pieces such as 'Shes Out of My League'

Never heard of it?

There's a reason for that.

Womp Womp.

Paddle Through It

When I was home, I took a kayak tour.

Look who was my guide.

Brother!

And look who else was there.

The moms and the sister.

We were super pumped about it.

Brother impressed us with all of his knowledge on the tides, birds, fish, and all the history of the place we call home.

What a smarty pants.

The real treat was the sunset.

Are you loving it?

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

 

Ahhh.

There it is.

So gorgeous.

Did I say that was the real treat? I'm sorry I lied.

This was the real treat.

Watching sister get stuck in the spartina grass.

Did you know that was spartina grass?

Kayak tour knowledge in your face!

She's alright.

She paddled through like a champ.

Lately

I got to go home this past weekend to attend this little angel's Baptism.

Did I tell y'all I'm the Godmother?

Cartwheels ensued over that one.

Her nickname is Doodie Doodie Doodie.

 I'm obsessed with her.

While at home, I also got to see this one. You know her. I'm obsessed with her as well.

(Brother was there too, but that's a whole other post on his big kayaking tour)

 

We currently have no power again due to Frankenstorm....

Hmm this feels familiar.

It was the same weekend last year we had no power due to the October snow storm.

Why did I leave the South again?

Below is the Hub's Hurricane Supply.

Roses to the fact that he purchased not one but two boxes of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch

(that boy truly loves me as he knows PBCC is my kryptonite)
Thorns to the fact that most of the food he bought requires electrical appliances such as a stove.

But let's revert back to the fact that I have two boxes of PB Captain Crunch to eat and all is right again.

 

October 11th

(the hubs and i doing our best 'Zoolander' )

 today happens to be my 4th wedding anniversary

i think i'd like to go back in time and pat myself on the back and whisper,

 'nice job, well done'

and let myself know:

this handsome fella is going to crack you up every.single.day.

he's going to bring you flowers at work for no reason at all

he's going to cook you dinner, like all the time

he's going to let you make the house an obscene temperature of cold so you don't get hot at night and he has to sleep under 8 blankets

he's not going to give you crap about shopping too much

he's going to be willing to go on fun adventures with you, try new places and new things

 he's going to give you that big hug you need at the end of the day

or your space if you need it

he's going to go on ice cream runs at 9:30 at night because you have a sweet tooth

he's going to be your biggest cheerleader and your most fierce protector

he's going to let you be silly and ridiculous and love you for it

he's going to do everything he possibly can to make you HAPPY

and you are going to experience a love like you never thought possible

Happy Anniversary Daniel James,

you have exceeded my expectations in every possible way

Loving you,

Bee
