Long time no see!<br />
I'm making a comeback. I promise.<br />
Here's the thing. Since getting my iPad last July, I haven't been using my laptop very much. And I hate blogging on my iPad. So no laptop = no blogging.<br />
Anywho... I'm back, if only for this one post. At least it's a good one.<br />
<br />
Nate -<br />
Happy Father's Day! I hope you've had a great day - from finishing your kitchen to spending all day with Paisley to playing soccer (and scoring! and winning!) - I hope it's been perfect.<br />
I just want to take a quick second to say thanks.<br />
Thanks for being the absolute best daddy to our sweet baby girl. She adores you.<br />
Thanks for working hard so I can stay home with her - you don't know how much this means to me.<br />
Thanks for loving us both unconditionally.<br />
Thanks for putting up with me and my crazy (this includes, but is not limited to, driving 15 minutes to Chili's just to get one small container of sauce that they forgot to put in our order and going to 3 different Braum's (I don't know how to make this plural?) to get me a chocolate mix while I was pregnant.).<br />
Thanks for reading books, being silly and dancing with Paisley.<br />
Thanks for letting me be me and for loving me in all of my sweatpants, bun and no-makeup glory.<br />
Thanks for taking care of us - there is not one thing we need other than you.<br />
<br />
You are the most important thing in my life. I love you more than you will ever know, and I know Paisley feels the same way. When Paisley was born, we had been together 8 years and I didn't think I could love you any more than I already did. Seeing you with her when she was just minutes old - my love for you exploded. Paisley is the luckiest little girl in the whole world. There isn't one thing I could ask for that you don't already provide. You are everything I have ever wanted, and everything Paisley needs.<br />
I know I don't say thank you enough. Know that I will never feel like you understand how much we need and love you. Know that we are forever grateful for you.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And just a few of my favorite early pictures ...<br />

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in my life - especially my dad (who I am fairly certain will never see this, as I am sure he doesn't even know what a blog is) and my father in law (for raising Nathan to be the perfect father/husband)! I love you both!!Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-39859110562286639692012-03-01T10:21:00.000-06:002012-03-01T10:21:37.944-06:00Photo February - I. Am. Done.I know I said I was going to post each picture on the correct day for the rest of the month, but 2 nights ago Paisley got sick so all my attention has been on keeping her happy and comfy. I did take the pictures each day, I just didn't get to post them.<br />

Since she was sick, I put on some Band of Horses to keep the mood mellow - no shaking her sillies out or hokey pokeying. BOH is one of my very favorite bands - if you don't know them, you're missing out. Big time.<br />

This is the print on the glider in my living room. While shopping for baby furniture, we came across these amazing gliders and I kind of had to have one... If you've sat in it, you know why. I spent many nights in that chair during the first few weeks of Paisley's life. It's green and wild and doesn't match a thing in my house, but I think that's what makes it awesome.<br />

Yes, I realize it says "photo" and not "photos," but this is my blog so I make the rules here. I couldn't pick from these two. They're both on my fridge and they're both great. They were taken on graduation day (which is why Nate looks like a graduate), way back in 2009. I love the black and white one for the obvious exposure reasons (it was taken with a film camera), and the bottom one is us in front of our house in Stillwater. Photo credit goes to D for both of these.<br />

My husband has awesome handwriting. He went to school for Landscape Architecture and they teach you to write this way. His handwriting is better than mine (unless I'm trying really, really hard), so he is always stuck with addressing any and all cards, sorry babe.<br />

I hate unloading the dishwasher. Like, really, really hate it. I have recently learned that my mom also hates this chore, which would explain why it was always given to us as kids. Veerrrry sneaky, mom. I would much rather wash all of the dishes by hand (which I do a lot of the time), but when I tried to initiate the "hand washing only" rule, he said no. It's not like he unloads it anyway! I'm kidding, of course. He loves to unload it. And I'm sure as soon as Paisley can handle it, she will love it, too.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-40231109421949116972012-02-18T20:54:00.000-06:002012-02-18T20:54:55.709-06:00Photo February... playing catch up.Photo February, day 18: Drink<div><br />

</div><div>I love wine and tequila, I'll drink vodka and scotch, I can tolerate a beer, but my heart will always be full of gin. I more than love gin. I really, really love it (that's a lot, guys!). My default drink, one that I can drink at any given time with any food, in any setting. It's very versatile. It's easy and it's yummy. Most importantly, I can't drink it without thinking of one of my very favorite people in the whole wide world, the very fabulous Jamie, who left me for a beautiful life in Colorado (she says she reads my blog every now and then... we'll see! call me if you love gin, Jamie!). Anywho. That's it. </div><div><br />

</div><div>One day while shopping, I came across a super cool giant old school timer. The sand is bright green and it's super cool. It lives on my fireplace and I love it. (I made it black and white because I took this picture late in the evening and the light in my living room is awful and orange (not that I don't love orange...) but there was no saving the picture)</div><div><br />

Lame, I know. This is one of the phones at Baby Gap. I don't have a cool phone at home to take a picture of. Again, I know it's lame, but at least I made it super artsy by making it black and white!Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-16673440930215707652012-02-15T08:58:00.000-06:002012-02-15T08:58:46.925-06:00HeartPhoto February, day 14: Heart<br />

This is obviously NOT the sun. There was no sun to be seen in Edmond (or Tulsa) that day. It is actually a street light in downtown Tulsa. Kind of looks like the sun. Kind of a sucky, terrible picture :/<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>This is the front door at Pancho Villa in Branson. It was a cute little mexican restaurant that was recommended by a local. He called it Pancho Villa, like villa... village... 2 Ls, the American way. We aren't quite sure if he was right, or if it was Villa, the Spanish way, like the guy (Pancho Villa). Either way, it was good food and good margaritas. Another terrible picture - it was dark outside and I was using my phone.<br />

I am not a fan of self portraits. Other people are good at them and don't look like losers. I, for one, look like a loser in them. Am I just supposed to smile? Do I make the duck lips that seem to be so popular on facebook? Anywho, this is as "self portraity" as I get.<br />

These are my new cowboy boots. Until Saturday, they belonged to my grandpa. He and my grandma are downsizing into an assisted living apartment (apartment?) and asked all their kids and grandkids to come over and see if we liked/needed/wanted anything that isn't going with them. I told D to try them on, but they were too small for him, so I put them on and got me some boots! They are a mens 6 1/2 and are a little big, but they are perfect and super comfy. I love, love, love them and I am so happy to have them.<br />

No long explanation on this one. I covered these letters in yarn and they are currently on my fireplace until someone hangs a shelf up for me. They are super cool and I love the colors.

Dwelling Spaces (the most rockin' store in Tulsa - if you haven't been there, GO!) sells these awesome buttons, and every time I go, I simply must get one. I think at any holiday, I receive at least one, usually from D. He shares my appreciation for these buttons. I'm glad. I have them everywhere, but these are on my camera bag.<br />
p.s. I know I am a day late posting this. I took the picture yesterday, I swear. I'm no cheater. I worked last night and when I got home, P was wide awake. When she finally fell asleep around 11:30, I had no desire to post the picture. And heads up, Nate and I are going out of town today and I am not taking my laptop. If I can figure out how to upload pictures onto my blog from my iPad, I'll gladly post. I make no promises though. I do promise that I will take each picture on the correct day. Again, I'm no cheater.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-92049792475223644402012-02-06T22:41:00.001-06:002012-02-06T22:42:54.731-06:00DinnerPhoto February, day 6: Dinner<br />

I actually made a good dinner (spaghetti, green beans, garlic bread, cinnamon apples) tonight, buuuut... I was too distracted by the 18 month old who kept signing "more" and cramming bread into her mouth to take a picture of it. I kind of enjoyed the bowl of popcorn more than the spaghetti (hey, it came with m&ms and tequila) anyway. The drink I was enjoying was a Paloma -tequila, grapefruit soda and lime juice with a salted rim.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-63268962695111330152012-02-05T21:47:00.000-06:002012-02-05T21:47:01.527-06:0010 a.m.Photo February, day 5: 10 a.m<br />

Where have you all been!?! I, of course, have been right here, blogging my heart out for the past 2 months. Ha! I'm kidding. I haven't been here in a looong time. But I'm here now. And I'm not leaving for a while! (maybe?)<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago, a friend had the brilliant idea to have a blog-a-thon. I think I immediately said no... because, well, who are we kidding? It has been in the back of my mind since then, making me wonder if it was something I could actually do. This morning while I was on Pinterest, I came across an idea....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM4glRTY6sXDzr7ET7j1e14d8sJ_YVfo38Pj-NKFMJq5v5nM4KAZWrphNkwUVMXvdzMSDwGnnoLTNxou30wiE39yEeCRpIApT7i0nKlySbThG__QLKALs-o0Pz1x_Psk0lSQmCvS-WQD0/s1600/photofeb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM4glRTY6sXDzr7ET7j1e14d8sJ_YVfo38Pj-NKFMJq5v5nM4KAZWrphNkwUVMXvdzMSDwGnnoLTNxou30wiE39yEeCRpIApT7i0nKlySbThG__QLKALs-o0Pz1x_Psk0lSQmCvS-WQD0/s320/photofeb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Now, I know I have tried the "photo a day challenge" before. I obviously did not finish (unless it was just a 3 month challenge - if that's the case, I nailed it!), but I actually think I can do this one. The main reason I quit last year was because I was bored/tired of thinking of things to take pictures of. I'm going to give it a shot, so bear with me.<br />

It brought tears to my eyes because it rang so true and I know every O-State alum who reads this will feel the same way. <br />
A big thanks to Cody Stites, who I don't know, but after reading what he wrote with such passion for OSU, I know I'd like.<br />
<br />
<b>Orange is that day that you moved into the dorms as a freshman with lines for the elevator. It’s meeting those friends that would stick with you for life. It’s remembering those dorm buildings, even though they may not be there anymore.</b><br />
<b>It’s wearing orange the Friday before the first game & every Friday after that. It’s KURT BUDKE, MIRANDA SERNA, Barry Sanders, John Smith, Garth Brooks, Mike Gundy, Eddie Sutton… it’s you and me. Orange is putting your arm around the shoulder of the stranger next to you to sing the Alma Mater. It’s making the switch to saying “Power” instead of “Orange.” It’s remembering Lewis Field & admiring Boone Pickens Stadium. It’s knowing that it’s left hand up to make an “S.” Orange is when it’s good for a Cowboy First Down and Ten. Orange is Pistols Firing – Touchdown Oklahoma State. It’s “...O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Oklahoma STATE” no matter where you are when the state song is played. </b><br />
<b>It’s the big smile on your face when you walk past the orange fountain. It’s going back to the place you worked in college & remembering it as the best job you ever had even though it paid the least. It’s a cabinet full of Joe’s cups. Orange is knowing that it’s time to go home when you hear “New York, New York” or “Shoulda Been a Cowboy.” Orange is the one you tried to let down easy & the one you’ll never forget. Orange is wanting to get out of Stillwater for four years & spending the rest of your life wanting to go back. </b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Proud and Immortal,</b><br />
<b>Bright shines your name.</b><br />
<b>Oklahoma State,</b><br />
<b>We herald your fame.</b><br />
<b>Ever you’ll find us,</b><br />
<b>Loyal and true.</b><br />
<b>To our Alma Mater</b><br />
<b>O – S – U</b><br />
<br />
Hearing the words "OSU" and "plane crash" in the same sentence, again - for the second time in my life, completely breaks my heart. It wasn't fair 10 years ago when it happened, and it's not fair now. I didn't know either of the coaches or the couple flying the plane, but I do know that anyone who made such an impact on such an incredible university must have been pretty special. My heart aches for their families. I know that the whole OSU family is sending thoughts, prayers and lots of love their way.<br />
I know we will never forget and I know we will get through this. We always do. Because we're Cowboys. Because we are Orange. <br />

This would include, but is not limited to:<br />
<br />
<b>-good tv </b><br />
Some old favorites include Friends, Seinfeld (by the way, I typed "sei" and my super smart iPad automatically typed Seinfeld for me. brilliant), Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Sex and the City. New favorites include New Girl (have you watched this? it's television genius), The Big Bang Theory (I know, I'm kind of late to the game), Little Einsteins and Olivia. (I'm thankful for those last two because they got Paisley out of her Mickey Mouse obsession).<br />
<br />
<b>-my electric blanket </b><br />
It was 63 degrees in my house this morning. That is unacceptable! I guess if I have to put up with another Oklahoma winter, at least my bed will be warm. <br />
<br />
<b>-Pinterest </b><br />
If I need to explain this to you, you obviously aren't on pinterest. I don't know if I should feel bad for you because of what you're missing, or if I should be a little jealous of you because you don't waste hours of your life away looking at delicious food, awesome houses, clever solutions to every day problems, easy DIY ideas and funny pictures of kitty cats. Seriously, get on pinterest and find me. I pin some great stuff. <br />
<br />
<b>-My iPad</b><br />
Because, how else would I be able to feed my pinterest addiction? Except... on the iPad, you can't have a "pin it!" button, so if I want to pin something I'm limited to pinterest only. Is there away to fix this? Can I have both my iPad AND my "pin it!" button? <br />
<br />
<b>-Coffee </b><br />
I realize that coffee is not a "modern luxury," but I'm still thankful for it. I *think* I've mentioned Starbucks in my last two posts?<br />
<br />
<b>-My phone</b><br />
So I can text and send pictures to Nate all day while he is trying to work. He, however, is probably not thankful for that. <br />
<br />
<b>-Donuts and the library</b><br />
Each Tuesday morning, Miss P and I meet April and Andy for donuts at the best little donut shop in Edmond (like I'd tell you which one. we don't want it to become crowded!), which is owned by the nicest Asain ladies who love to see the kids. They even give us a few extra donut holes each time! After that, we head to the library for "lap sit." I'm not sure of what the term "lap sit" means... But we go to it. And it's fun. <br />
<br />
-My warm bed, a full pantry and fridge, a nice car, so much laundry that I'm never caught up, fun toys for Paisley, hot baths, blankets and socks and hoodies (I hate winter), a good job, Nathan's great job that allows me to stay home with Paisley, my wonderful family, great friends, the most perfect husband and the most incredibly precious baby girl. I am extremely lucky and very thankful for all the little things that make my life easy.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-42122427363398804102011-11-10T22:29:00.000-06:002011-11-10T22:29:44.381-06:00Thankful Thursdays (part deux)In the second installment of Thankful Thursdays, I am thankful for a few random things. No theme this week, just a few things that make me smile every day (which I suppose would make my theme "things that make me smile every day...")<br />
<br />
I am thankful for...<br />
<br />
Sonic (vanilla diet coke, in case you ever want to surprise me)<br />
Starbucks (but I covered that last week)<br />
My animals<br />
Warm, fuzzy blankets<br />
Slippers<br />
Country music<br />
The great state of Oklahoma and everything in it (well, almost everything...)<br />
Footie jammies (on Paisley, not me. they are so darn cute on her)<br />
Cookies, chocolate cake and leftover Halloween candy<br />
Glazed donuts<br />
TOMS shoes <br />
Pinterest<br />
My job at baby gap<br />
The clothes at baby gap<br />
Seinfeld<br />
OPI nail polish<br />
My favorite pair of gap jeans<br />
A good hug from Miss P<br />
Kitties curled up on me while I sleep<br />
My Kindle (bonus points for a good book and a full battery)<br />
.....<br />
<br />
I'm bored just writing this. Jeez, I'm sorry if you've made it this far. (Why are you still reading? You must be a really good friend. I'm very thankful for you.)<br />
Apparently my thankfulness and creative writing juices peaked last week. <br />
Bummer. I'm sorry. I will think hard for the next 7 days and make up for it next week.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-3692639956407877782011-11-03T20:40:00.000-05:002011-11-03T20:40:14.319-05:00Thankful Thursday (part 1)It seems like my Facebook news feed has been full of happy, thankful people lately. I have enjoyed reading everyone's, and as much as I'd like to do a daily Facebook "thankful update," I'm just not a daily Facebook-status-updater. So, instead of stealing that idea from all of those people, I stole this Thankful Thursdays idea from Brittany, the star of The Johnson Family Circus (sorry, can't link to it on my iPad) and super mom of 3 under 3. So, thanks Brittany!<br />
<br />
I am a very thankful and grateful person, even if some of you only hear me complain about stuff (sorry April, Lindsay and Autumn...). <br />
<br />
Today, I am thankful for my wonderful parents. As I write this, I am at Starbucks (look at me, blogging at Starbucks on my iPad. I'm very trendy.), currently hiding out from my 15 month old daughter. Don't get me wrong, I love her more than life itself.... But she has recently started an evening wild streak, where she is literally running in circles and jumping from the ottoman to the chair and chasing the dogs and squealing with glee anytime someone says anything remotely close to "no!" (including, but not limited to, "paisley, stop" "paisley, please sit on your bottom" "don't eat that" "please don't touch the tv" and "don't touch Lucy, she bites!").<br />
So, thanks to my dear parents (who (whom?) she charms time and time again), I have enjoyed a nice hot caramel apple cider at Starbucks. Amazing how much an hour away and one hot drink can totally turn your day around! This one hour has *almost* convinced me that if I moved back to Owasso, I could do this regularly! So could Nate, but I think he was convinced that we needed the help about 14 and a half months ago. <br />
Also, I'm very thankful for Starbucks. I don't feel like I need to go into detail here. <br />
Also, I'm very thankful to have wonderful in-laws. Seriously, I hear some horror stories and I can't imagine having anyone better.<br />
That leads me to the rest of my extended family -all of Nate's siblings and their families. I love that in my family, it's just Nate and me, D and Autumn and my parents. I also love leaving the quiet house to the big family with kids running around, the boys playing ping-pong and basketball and the girls sitting around chatting it up. I seriously have the best of both worlds. <br />
Since I touched on everyone else, I guess I should say that I'm thankful for my wonderful brother. He really is pretty great. He's fun. He's cool. He's got a great house and great cats. He is a great dresser, a good writer and has good taste in drinks. And I love his girlfriend, Autumn, who (whom? I need to learn when to use that. Remind me to ask D) I am very thankful for... Okay seriously, I'll stop. But each time I think of someone, I have to go one person further (from Autumn, I'm thankful for her sister, April, who keeps me sane some days. From her, I'm thankful for Lindsay, who is a great new friend. Speaking of new friends, I better mention old friends, too. I'm very thankful for the Schnorrenbergs(all three of them!).)<br />
<br />
So, let's sum it up here. I'm thankful for my parents, Nathan's parents, his siblings and their families, my brother, his girlfriend, Autumn, her sister, April, her friend, Lindsay, and Zach and Staci (and baby Harper!). Oh, and Starbucks. <br />
<br />
But most importantly, Starbucks.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00791128666099690246noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127496233290025084.post-34815609896901416972011-10-26T15:37:00.000-05:002011-10-26T15:37:46.349-05:00A Word of Advice<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sometimes it really IS better to pick your battles. </span><br />

<br />
Okay, Paisley is 1 plus 1 month. So sue me.<br />
<br />
12 month Paisley facts:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>She weighed in at 18 pounds, 4 ounces, which puts her in the 5th percentile for her weight. She is up from 17 pounds, 11 ounces at 9 months.</li>
<li>She is 29.5 inches, which puts her in the 50th percentile. Up from 25.5 inches at 9 months! Way to go P! </li>
<li>She is done with bottles and done breastfeeding - I made it one year! WooHoooo!</li>
<li>She is eating anything and everything we give her... some favorites include PB&Js, grilled cheese, any pasta, peas, green beans, shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, any fruit.... just the usual baby stuff. I am yet to give her something she doesn't like. (Must have gotten that from Nate.)</li>
<li>She is sleeping through the night and is down to one 2 hour nap each day.</li>
<li>She is still just rocking her 4 teeth - 2 on bottom and 2 on top, complete with a gap.</li>
<li>She is <strike>walking</strike> running.</li>
<li>Her favorite show is still Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I am trying to get her into a more girly show, which brings me to my next Paisley fact:</li>
<li>She is somewhat of a tomboy. (and yes, just for the record, that did hurt to type.) </li>
<ul><li>She doesn't like headbands (and can't wear bows - damn hair.)</li>
<li>Her only friends are boys, who have taught her to be very tough. Seriously, the girl hardly cries. </li>
<li>Like I said, she isn't really into any kind of girly shows/movies. The only thing she will sit down and pay attention to is Mickey Mouse (and Jimmy Fallon, but who can blame her?). I know you probably think I'm crazy - but it really is kind of a boyish show. </li>
<li>She recently learned "touchdown!" - I'll add a picture of that - its pretty cute.</li>
<li>The only orange I could find on short notice was a cute little jersey. They had a little cheerleader uniform, but it was lame and I couldn't do that to her. The jersey is cuter - I'll make her wear a skirt with it. I just bought her a black tutu - that'll be perfect!</li>
<li>I have bought her many stuffed animals and many lovies, hoping she would become attached to one. She does have one white rabbit (whose name is white rabbit - creativity for the win!) who she cuddles with, but only in the car and at naptime/bedtime. She is yet to find anything else that will do... except for one thing. She has recently become attached to a leash. Go ahead and read that again. Yes, I said a leash. As in a walk-your-dog leash, except she doesn't walk Lucy. She just carries her leash around all. the. time. I plan on posting about this soon - once I get more pictures. I can't lie, it is pretty cute.</li>
</ul><li>She loves to talk - her favorite thing (?) to say is "tik-a-tik-a-tik-a-tik-a-tik." I realize that if you haven't heard her, you have no idea what sound I am trying to spell out for you. If you have heard it and can think of a better way to write it, please let me know. I need this for her baby book. Sometimes it sounds like "duck-a-duck-a-duck-a-duck" and sometimes like "chick-a-chick-a-chick-a-chick."</li>
<li>She is slowly winning Lucy over, cheerio by cheerio.</li>
<li>She is still a very happy and easy baby. She wears me out, but I love (almost?) every minute of it. </li>
</ul><div>Enough with the boring stuff. Here are some pictures from her birthday and her party.</div><div><br />

My deepest apologies. In the next week or 2, I am going to try to buckle down and bring the people what they want!<br />
I know you're all dying to know what we have been up to. I will eventually get to Paisley's 1 year post and her birthday party post, I promise.<br />
