This is from Saturday, April 26. We went out to dinner for Julie's birthday and I met this nice young fella, Stephen. After knowing each other for 5 minutes we were married and lived happily ever after. Ok, until he left about 30 minutes later, but it was a wonderful whirlwind romance.

Sunday, April 27th. I got home from my weekend away and my dad had picked some wildflowers to put in my watering can that I bought specifically to be used as a vase. I love it! I'll have to get married in the spring so that I can have a bouquet of wildflowers as my bridal bouquet. So cute!

Sunday, April 27. We went to Granny's for lunch. Keri and Danile came down and Daddy and Daniel were rearranging some logs that my dad is going to get cut up. I was out in the field petting the cows and loving on them when the worst thing in the world could have happened. I was backing up to get out of the way of a cow that is known to push other cows and people around, when I felt the squish. Oh yes, I stepped in a pile of poo. Now, like an idiot I wasn't wearing my usual boots or tennis shoes in the field. NOOOO, I was wearing my flip flops. I don't even want to talk about how I almost threw up. Luckily, it was just on the edge, but it was just enough to make me want to cut my foot off. Ick! Monday, April 28. I had to make a scrapbook page of my class for a scrapbook we made as a school for these people who came to check us out and give us our accreditation. Fun times. It definitely makes me wish I had more time to scrapbook. Which reminds me, I have a scrapbook I need to get finished!

Tuesday, April 29. I had on a different outfit than this t-shirt all day. We had to dress up for these people who came to check out our school. Anyways, it was very interesting because I saw Mr. You-know-who when he was picking up his kids. I was running into the office to get a snack before my break was over and he was there. He said hi to me and I said hi to him, then he came over and gave me a great big hug while telling me that I looked very "sweet today." Ok, he nevers comes by to say hi anymore but then I get that? Men are so freaking confusing. So, this is my "sweet" face. We had a nice 5 minute conversation and that was that.

Wednesday & Thursday, April 30 and May 1. I don't remember doing anything extraordinary. This has been a common pic at the house of " Englands. That is my dad's dog chilling in the swing asleep. Sophie LOVES to lay with him on the swing.

Friday, May 2. So I challenged my kids that if they ran at least 400 laps at our Fun Run, then I would dress up like Junie B. Jones, which is a book characters. So here I am, in all my glory. You wanna talk about getting some looks on Friday, I got them. It was fun though. What's sad is that I owned everything except the shirt prior to creating this look.

Saturday, May 3. Today was a super busy day. I went to Julie's nephew's birthday party. It was so fun. I have never been to a birthday party for a kid as an adult where there were actually kids there other than the birthday child. It was interesting to see the little ones playing. After the birthday party, we went over to Andrea's house to get ready for April's bachelorette party. Julie and I had made April a fiesta hat fit for a bride because she loves Mexican food so much. We were proud! We had yummy mocktails and finger foods, played a game, opened the "gifts" and just talked. It was so fun. I love just hanging out with the girls, catching up, reminiscing about old times and talking about what could happen in the future. Plus, they love American Idol so I get to talk about David Cook. Yum!
Sunday, May 4. To go with my weekend o' parties. We went to another child's birthday party, my 2nd cousin Maggie Moo. She recently became the older stepsister to the two girls in this picture. They had fun playing outside, jumping on the trampoline, blowing bubbles, and throughing a hoverround disc. Quite entertaining. I love kids. It almost makes me want to have one someday. ALMOST!
