Happy.
Here's why:
- It's Friday.
- Free lunch at work.
- Tonight I'm having a girls' night out. Woot woot!
- Tomorrow we're going shopping for bridesmaids dresses (for Ashlee's wedding)!
- I had a judge brownie yesterday and I'm still salivating.
- It's not raining and it's above 70 degrees.
- The Proposal and Year One come out today. Which means lots of drooling while watching the first movie (since my boyfriend Ryan is in it), and laughing hysterically during the second one.
- Did I mention that it's Friday?
What makes you happy? Or pissed off, for that matter?

Cool mom
She made like 5 new headers for me to choose from for my blog. I picked this one up at top to start with, since it's so flattering. Isn't she awesome and super talented? The answer is yes, my friends. She is.
I promise you I will update with exciting new stuff, soon. I still have Hawaii pics, Kennedy's dance performance, and her birthday party. However, for now my computer at home is being a tool. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next day or so and then I can spend hours upon end updating my blog.
Until then, you can all read my mother's blog and any others you see on the side of the page over there. I promise you will be amused.

Princess Kennedy
For the first 3-4 months of her life, she cried. A lot. The poor thing had colic. Many of our sleepless nights were spent driving around, swinging her car seat back and forth, back and forth, back and forth... ripping our hair out... trying to get her to just stop crying and go to sleep.
But after about 4 months, she was an angel all the time. And slept through the night every night.
She learned her first sign (sign language) by the time she was 8 months old ("milk").
Took her first steps when she was 12 1/2 months.
By the time she was 18 months, she knew about 50 different signs. However, when she started speaking more fluently, she decided that was so much easier than signing, so she stopped using sign language.
She loved to "read" stories to herself, make up songs to sing, do all the cute little baby things, laugh a lot, and of course everything she did just melted my heart.
Today she turns 5. Whenever I see small babies I have such a hard time believing that Kennedy actually used to be that small. She's growing up too fast. WAY too fast.
Here are just a few things I love about her:
I love that she says "Mom? I love you." at least 5 times each day.
I love how beautiful she is. Although I'm going to have to ugly her up before she hits adolescence. (Braces/head gear/glasses...)
I love that she makes friends so easily- wherever she goes.
I love how wild her imagination is.

Fish
Second of all, read this:
So the cool thing about the place in which we stayed on Oahu is that on Saturday(s) they take you out on a boat to a sweet reef and let you snorkel for like an hour and then they take you to the sandbar, which I've told you so much about. And it's all included with your stay. Sweet, right?
So here are some pictures I just had developed from my disposable underwater camera.
Btw- the quality of disposable underwater cameras kind of sucks, just so you know. The colors we saw were actually 100 times more vibrant. The coral was gorgeous and bright. And so were the fishies, of which we saw hundreds.
See? This picture is deceiving. It looks black and white. I promise you that we saw color.
Up until this point, Justin was a snorkeling virgin. He totally loved his first time.
Me? Not a first timer. I've explored the deep blue a time or two. But this was by far the best snorkeling I've ever seen.
Fishies!
But the highlight of my snorkeling experience was when I saw this.
He was about 4 feet away from me.
And then, probably because of my stench, he slowly floated off in the opposite direction.
See ya later, little fella. I love you.

Onward and upward.
In the meantime.
I just kept waiting for him to pull out his wand and broomstick.
I'm so looking forward to having a double-income. Student loans suck.
And I have even more good news, if you can stand it. Kennedy ALSO graduated!
This is her dancing to one of the songs.
And here is one of the songs for your enjoyment :)
My little baby is growing up. It scares me. Kindergarten- here we come.

Small taste.
I promise that I will get around to posting lots more about the trip and other goings on. But for now, here's a little taste to keep you interested and tide you over.
And the tastiest piece of all?
Mmmmm. Yep. Nothing better.
