Yippee!

Happy Birthday to Dustin today! Happy 5 year Anniversary to us tomorrow!! I'm excited we have fun things planned. Stay tuned for pictures and a play by play! :o)

Lauren goes to Law School

This past week was filled with reunions and farewells. The receptionist at our law firm had her last day because she was leaving for law school. She's got more ambition than I do, because law school is definitely not up my alley. She came back after her last day to have lunch with our "

lunch crew". Lauren was my buddy at Cooley (where I work) so now, I have a void. We would go to lunch together, have arts and crafts (shh, our bosses don't know that! Plus, it was all in good fun to help celebrate co-workers birthdays!) time together. We really had fun together. I know that Lauren has bigger and better fish to fry than Cooley, but it doesn't make it any less sad that my buddy is off to San Francisco!! I'm excited for her and I know that she'll do great things on this new endeavor of her life! Good Luck Lauren!!

BTW - I don't know what the heck happened to this post, and I don't know how to fix it!!

A little bit of Plattsburgh comes to San Diego

This past week I received a phone call from one of my old teachers (actually it was a couple, they were both teachers) saying that they were in San Diego and they wanted to get together for dinner. I used to babysit their three kids. Interestingly enough, I actually had Beth as a teacher while she was pregnant with their first child, Zachary. Needless to say we knew each other on many levels, not just in school. Anyway, I digress. They called and said they were in San Diego and wanted to get together. I called them back and we decided to get together on Tuesday. I met them at their hotel and then we went to a fish and chips restaurant near by. Their kids have gotten so big. Their oldest is going to be 11 next month and the youngest just turned 7. Sheesh how time flies!!

The kids were so big and self sufficient! I wasn't used to that at all! It was great to be able to see them, and visit with their parents. They had just gone to LegoLand and they had their new Lego toys. They wanted some funny pictures as well as serious! I'm glad they took time out of their vacation to visit! It was good to see them!

Lily and Her Idiosyncrasies

Idiosyncrasy - a mode of behavior or way of thought peculiar to an individual

Example - Lily

Lily has many many quirks. She loves to be in the middle of things. I have many pictures of her in between everyone so she can be right in the action. This is why she loves to lay all over my laundry. Dustin and I had done laundry over the weekend and hadn't folded it yet so it was sitting on the love seat (had it been on the floor Lily would have been nesting in it). When I came home from work yesterday the wonderful husband that I have, had already folded the laundry and put it in piles on the floor. I got home went about my normal business and Lily was laying on top of the piles. One of her true loves, is unfolding (with her teeth) the piles of laundry that I (normally) have spent folding. Well last night was no different. She was laying on the pile using it as her bed (don't ask me why she thinks it is more comfortable than the couch), and then we were getting ready for bed. I sat down on the floor and started making more distinct piles out of the clothes and Lily decided that she was going to lay down right in the middle of what I was doing. Nothing different, but this time I got a picture! Needless to say, I think I need to lint roller all of our clothes.

This is what we call a "Sister Mary Lily". From the time that Lily was a few months old she has always done this. She loves to walk behind my curtains, comforter, sheets, anything that hangs down and then sit down with it on her head.

Her last idiosyncrasy is recent. I don't have any pictures at this point in time, but I will post more later!

To be continued...

The only Judd not covered in hair

Well, this is my first post! I have finally given into the blogging world, thanks to my in-laws! To start off my blog I will introduce you to my family! To warn you, I am the only one in my family that can't produce enough hair in one day to warrant a drain-o run to Walmart!

Exhibit 1

Dustin, my husband that always keeps me laughing!

Exhibit 2

Lily Billy, the princess of the family

Exhibit 3

Booger Bear, the biggest teddy bear you will ever meet

Hopefully I will be able to keep our family and friends informed and somewhat entertained through blogging. I am a bit of an exclamation point over user. Sorry about that!
