Trey's World

There's this boy
who colors the whole world.
He colors it in all the shades of a perfect rainbow.
He adds laughter where there's sadness.
Gives hugs when there's tears.
He warms up the coldest of nights
and brings cool breezes to hot summer days.
He has the spirit of a champion
and the heart of a saint.
He's funny.
And smart.
And grateful.
And he has to be the most humble human I've ever met.
And with just his smile, he makes life worth living
for anyone that knows him.
It seems like just yesterday he was born.
He came early.
He couldn't wait to start his party!
Or to make my life as his mama the best life I could ever dream of!
Happy birthday to my guy.
Mom loves you!

Brides and Bras

Frankie's cousin got married.
Is that not the most beautiful bride you've ever seen?
Seriously...glowing.
Weddings are fun, aren't they?
You get dressed up.
You drink wine.
You pick a dress that you can't wear a bra with.
Don't shake your head.
Listen...
Here's the deal.
Fancy dresses, unless you're 74, which I'm clearly not,
require you to go without a bra.
I should've been a hippie.
I sorta hate bras.
I like how pretty they can be.
You know the matchy kind with the lace
and coordinating panty.
But if I were to think of a time of day I'm happiest
it's when I take that dang thing off.
Remember friends, I wear one for 18 hours.
(do they still make that brand bra...I seem to remember
a commercial)
You could, I suppose, go with a
strapless concoction but if I were Pope
strapless bras would be accepted as penance.
They are horrible and fall down.
Or they have some weird silicon tape that digs into your
rib cages requiring two weeks of recovery.
Here's the other thing...
Weddings require dancing.
Sometimes weddings require riduculous dancing.
imagine me, doing the chicken dance
with the strapless bra around my ankles.
I did.
Imagine that.
Tit (ha) didn't happen because I didn't wear a bra.
And because what God gave me, my children took away
I now must buy my dress a size smaller so everything is
held in nice and tightly!
I won't embarrass you and put a picture of me showing off
the non bra dress. I might make you blush.
But notice my smile...
Don't I look happy?
Weddings (and braless days ) do that to me.
Congrats Donny and Katie.
May the road rise to meet you....

Me at the wedding....I'm dressed up and drinking wine.
I didn't cut anyone's meat.
Tell anyone to stop talking with their mouth full
or escort anyone to the potty.
Weddings are fabulous.
Adult weddings....divine!

Eddie's House

Date Night.
Plus two of our favorite people.
Makes for an awesome night.
We spent some time at Eddie's House
and if you've not visited, GO.
It's amazing.
The food. The atmosphere. The chef.
For us, it was also the company with a wee
pinch of mac n cheese, peanut butter cheesecake, chicken legs...
MMMMM.
