When melissa's butt & my butt could fit on one toliet seat at the same time

Holy cow It's almost been a month since Lissa was married :) I really didn't realize how consumed I had become by lissa's wedding until it was over & I felt akward talking about anything other then cream linens, chocolate brown dessert boxes, White rose petals, photobooths & my reoccuring nightmares that the chocolate fountains would explode onto Melissa's dress putting us all in to tears. No nightmares came to life that day, everything went smoothly and The Bride was absolutley stunning. My only regret is that I could not put into words how absolutley amazing she is, what a huge role model and confidant she has been through my whole life, How proud I am of her & That my life would just SUCK with out her in it.


Melissa has been my best buddie, partner in crime & someone I have looked up too since I was itty bittty. A few things had to change when we got older like sharing the toliet sit because our butts have now tripled in size(tear), playing with barbies from morning til night because we had to eventually get a life and trading in our power wheels for real cars (even though melissa still drives like she's driving a power wheel)The pne thing that has only grown stronger is our bond and relationship :) I am so happy that you found "Your One". You have grown into a beautiful women & I am so proud :)

Reaching Our Allen"ness"

Mike & I had an "Owen Wilson" Weekend. We watched alot of his movies ie: You, me & Dupree, Marley & Me, Wedding crashers Etc... After this weekend I feel that a big whole I had in my life has been filled. I have been enlightened by all of his characters and will now use his inspiring words and teachings in my everyday life experiences. When I come to a problem I will now ask myself one truly important question "What would Owen Do?" LOL. No all joking aside..It was a really great family weekend. Mike & I did have a few "Ah-ha" moments & have vowed to find our Allen"ness". My new favorite line is "I'm off like a prom dress" which I need to be careful about saying since the real meaning to it..is not a good one :) and I have come to the conclusion that our family will be refered to as "The Allen-Brew" From now on! Since we plan on having a team full of kiddies, add "us" the crazy parents, Our twinkie dog who eats everything & our crazy hamster on crack put us in a pot add some love and you get a pretty nice Brew going on :)...
Mothers day was such a great day. It reminded me again of how important Family truly is & when it comes down to it.. its Family that surrounds you, watches you grow, supports you, loves you, see's you through your crazy moments, Family is HUGE :) So join a family TODAY ! I Heart my Family.

We're off like a prom dress :)

Well, I finally caved to Melissa and Beth's constant "You should get a blog", "You should be blogging"nags...Thanks to their help and loving advice... here "We Are". I keep using "We" since the blog will be to keep Friends & Family up to date with the happenings of My Family: Mike, Ashton, Drake, Sweet Cheeks and I. I have to say I am plenty shocked that I decided to blog. If there were two groups one named the Blogging bloggers and the other named the Chit chat chatters. I would definately be put in the second group:( I am more of a long winded talker then a writer :)
Ashton is my Lovely baby boy...he's two and hates being called "baby". He's my independent mommy's boy. Michael is my loving, hardworking, incredibly kind husband. Drake is our loving, jumping, attention begging, eats everything, yellow lab AKA our Twinkie. Sweetcheeks, not to be confused with Ruby our mouse who passed away from overfeeding (Yes I overfed her), Is our winter white hamster. She is incredibly sweet and so talented. Just last week she ran so fast in her wheel and then out of nowwhere she became apart of the wheel and did like five body spins, Like whole spins completly around the wheel. I haven't seen her in it since. We should sign her up in nascar because she is the fastest little hamster in a ball I have ever seen. she literally was going so fast that the lid flew off Amazing <3
Whats new In Our crazy life :) Well we have moved back to the Bay after Two beautiful years in Nevada (Tahoe, Heavenly mountain) Michael has gotten a new excellant paying , wonderful benefits job in Concord that we could not turn down . We are currently staying with family while in the middle of finding the perfect home to call Ours. It is definately a change from our intimate condo in Nevada but never the less it will be all worth it in the end :)
