Crawfishing!!

Well I have been begging my family since we moved up here when I was 8 to go crawfishing. I LOVE to do it and they taste so yummy! Not to mention it's like comfort food since I grew up on it. So I finally convinced my family and we went up the day before the 4th to celebrate. It was really fun! It was so nice to just relax for 5 minutes! Here are some pics of our day!

I think that face says it all! He's got it bad, and that ain't good! :)

It was really funny, after everything was put on the table, my parents and I totally dig in. Greg grabs a potato and then some corn but I notice he will hardly touch the crawfish. So I ask him whats up and he says that he doesn't know how to eat them so I peel a couple for him and he ate like 2 of them but after that he just wouldn't even touch them. He is so funny my little/big chicken! So big and strong in some ways and such a girl in others! He'd shoot me if he knew I'd written that but as a good friend of mine likes to say "Often times the truth is devastating" :)

Happy Anniversary !!

    So Our 5 year anniversary is this friday.... 5 YEAR. I guess in the long run 5 years isn't that long but remember how when we were kids 5 years was an eternity? Well somedays it can feel that way still but for the most part I am enjoying my life with Greg. Yeah we butt heads but what married couple doesn't? When we do it never lasts very long and we usually end up laughing at each other because we're both acting stupid. I've been doing alot of thinking as this anniversary comes up in regards to our relationship and looking towards the future and I have to say I'm excited.
     I'm excited to be going through the adoption process, i'm excited to have a wonderful home that we get to work on and make our own, I'm also excited to be going back to school to get into family therapy which i know I'll love but most of all I'm excited to do it all with Greg by my side. He makes me feel like I can do anything and hopefully I do the same for him. This past five years has gone by so fast that I feel like if I blink 5 more will go flying by and I won't even know what happened!
    This year we are going to Vegas and staying in a nice hotel and hopefully if I can talk Greg into go see Phantom. I have been wanting to see it SO bad. My mom and I went to see it when we went to New york and it was Amazing. I am excited for a break and some much needed one on one time. I have to admit I'm looking forward to good food as well just because I can't help myself :) I will try to take as many pics as I can and update when we get home!

AWAKE :)

So I am sitting here and it is 3:30 in the morning and I wish more than anything I could sleep. My brain is so wound up that sleep seems impossible. I have SO much to do tomorrow and I think I just keep stressing about it. I know things will go like I want but if you know me at all I wig until things are over. THEN I can relax. I am talking of course about Melanie's 40th B-day bash, Tomorrow is my prep day and I guess I might as well go and get a head start. It's nice at this time of night maggie is curled up next to me dreaming of something far away. She keeps making a sucking sound, it's so cute. Greg is sleeping which is nice to know. He has to many sleepless nights, I worry about him so. And then there is me. The eternal night owl. I used to be before I got married ,  I've tried over the years to go to bed at a normal time but unless I'm sick or drugged I usually struggle to sleep. I guess I should go clean my kitchen or something. I would go hop on the treadmill to wear myself out but then greg would probably think there was an intruder and shoot me or something... so maybe I'll keep myself alive for a few more nights... :)  Well I think I have rambled long enough.
