You Went Camping with a Baby?!




Yes, I did, and he rocked! This is my blog so I can brag all I want. :) He was awesome! He barely fussed! We had a great time; we wished we could have stayed longer. It was a lot of work for just a weekend, but I am so glad we went. We went with our dear friends: Cheri, Chris, Nate, Monique and Simon. Acadia was absolutely gorgeous too, and the weather was pretty good too. Friday night it drizzled but nothing serious.


Some highlights for me were:


Spending tons of time in the car with my best friend Cheri and singing and talking and laughing.

Making wonderful memories with such good and dear people that mean the world to me.

Seeing the beautiful scenery.

Having a bird land on Monique's head.

Listening to my friends sing around the campfire.
Russ' invention of Sm'Oreos.

Spending the whole weekend with my son.


(And I don't know why I can't seem to put photos in my blogs randomly---why do they always stay on the top! UGH!)

Me Me

I've been tagged by Cheri to complete the meme. So here it goes!



What is something you'd love to say to your younger selves of 2, 5, 10 and 15 years ago? (Doesn't necessarily have to be the same thing each time.)



Two years ago; I was 28 - Don't get discouraged. You will overcome your health issues. You will learn from it. You will teach others. Embrace this experience to it's fullest.

Five years ago - I was 25 - Don't use your credit card...don't use your credit card....don't use your credit card. Remember what your mom always use to say---if you can't pay it off at the end of the month, don't use it!



Ten years ago - I was 20 - Don't get your heart set on teaching. You may not be going in that direction, but it will be okay because the experiences you are having today, will help you out later in life in many different situations.



Fifteen years ago - I was 15 - You are skinny! You are not fat! In 15 years you are going to be wearing much bigger clothes...so stop feeling bad about yourself.

(Typically you tag people to do this...Kate, I am tagging you. Maybe you will get started to blog after all!)
