Happy 21st Bro!!

Our baby bro is a "man" now! Well, Kode would say otherwise! ;) :) :) Yikes Brayd!... you're still that lil' guy I remember years ago!!! Time just flies, eh?! Hey!... well, enjoy the younger years! Because after some time, responsibilities catch up and life becomes a challenge with having to be an adult dealing with new experiences and trials!! LIVE IT UP!!!! ;)

We Love you and Miss the crap outta ya! :) LOL!.... Can you really miss someones crap?! I dunno!... that phrase just sounds weird! :) Anywho, we love you bro! Can't wait see you and get some Brayd-ee hugs!! ;)

This is my new "Do" by Jan Van Liew! She is absolutely FABULOUS!!!! LOL! And!... she uses "fabulous" as much as I do! ;) :) :) She's a "fire" woman (literally!... flaming orange/red hair!!!) with quite the wild personality! Oh, I just LOVE her!!! :) It's kinda fun to have a hairstylist with famous clientele do my hair!!!.... I get to hear some crazy stories! ;)

Thought of the day:

You may feel like dwelling on your limits or your fears. Don't do it. A perfect prescription for a squandered, unfulfilled life is to accommodate self-defeating feelings while undercutting your finest, most productive ones.~MS

Coronado Babe-0-licious Kristin!!!

OH!.... and Brock! LOL!... Sorry! ;) :) :)

Thank you Brock for coming up with a master plan to visit Coronado, Cali!!! You are Brilliant!! See!... because that meant I was able to see my Gorgeous and Darling Best Friend!! And we enjoyed a Fabulous day walking the beach, shopping, dinner and best of all watching your lil' buddy entertain himself outside the restaurant! LOL!
No!... Really!... We thoroughly enjoyed and loved seeing you guys! Like Kristin said, "It was like a breath of fresh air!" I definitely second that! We wish so much that you were closer! :)

W-H-I-T-E-L-E-Y'S

WoW!!! It's been some time since I've taken a sec and written down some thoughts!! Life just gets too busy, eh?! THAT is when I realize I need to slow down, take a deep breath, gather my thoughts and reconsider priorities in my life!
So! Family came to mind, as they always do! I'll tell ya!... There is a difference in being seperated from your family by cities! But!... by states is a whole different story! Those who are in the same shoes can truly understand my feelings!
Here are a few pics I took of the WHITELEY family while we were visiting during Christmas break. Now! I have unlimited amounts of practice to do and am working on my patience with the whole process of taking photos! It's just hard work! But, at least I have a few treasures framed and on display... with a big smile, pride and joy! I Love You guys!!!... I miss and Love all of my fam and friends! :) ;) Here's your peek into the beginning of a pro! ;) Hee, Hee!!!
AND! I want to say Happy Anniversary to my BF Shauna & Andrew! Shauna!... 10 years putting up with Drew?! How'd you live?! Ha, Ha! You're both the BEST!!! Love you guys!

Doesn't Get Better!

Geez!... it just Doesn't get Better than this! Seeing my Best Friend and Disneyland makes for a perfect fit!
I've gotta give it to Drew though! He tried to accomodate to my schedule for 2 months in hopes to get Shauna out here by surprise. I'm sorry to say that it didn't work! But!... a Christmas vacation for them was good enough for us!!!
It is so refreshing and pleasant to see those you love!
Shauna~ Thank You for loving me unconditionally!!! Our friendship definitely goes beyond our lifetime!! Our friendship has always been solid since the day we met! And!... of course it just gets better with age! :)

The "Fabulous" Smith Fam!
