Elise's day at the Zoo

FANTASTIC SHOW! I'm so glad I jumped for the tickets. I was in love with GreenDay in highschool but never got to see them live. This was a show I have been waiting for for a long time!  A clean and sober Billie Joe Armstrong gave such a high powered show. I'm glad that we got to see him in a better place than he would have been before.

A Day At The Zoo

While I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras I missed Lydia's 6th birthday party. I promised her a day out alone with Aunt Erin to make up for it. Today I made good on that and took her to the Zoo.

I think it was a pretty good birthday gift :)

                                               

Also, when did this happen? And how can I stop it?

I'm Six Years Old Today!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: FIRST MELTDOWN!

yeah.
just had the first Wedding Planning Meltdown.
Thankfully it was a small one, contained to AIM with Blake.
But still...God help me.

This came out of it though, so there's that.

 Blake Petit 6:30 pm
    I love you.
    More than anything anything ever.

 Blake Petit 6:37 pm
    You are my heart.

 ErinPatricia 6:38 pm
    your heart needs like a double cheesburger with fries from wendys and a goddamn six pack and a shamrock shake. that would help. but eating my feelings will send me into wearing a tent on my wedding day so i cant.
    fuck bananas.

 Blake Petit 6:38 pm
    ...bananas?

 ErinPatricia 6:39 pm
    i mean like fuck you, banana. not like a strange new exclamation of anger

 ErinPatricia 6:39 pm
