My *New* Photo Album

Here I am on a fine spring day...blah blah blah!!...Seriously though, here I am at Saturn of Raleigh checking out some newer model SL2's.

Still looking....
I think I'm showing off more for the camera than anything. No I think I'll take this one... (I really did end up with an SL2!)

What can I say? Saturns rule LOL

May god have mercy on your buckeye souls...I'M IN OHIO!!!!
I don't know what was going through my messed up head but I decided to come visit my family in Ohio this year hahaha
Anyways, this is me and my cousin Brandy. She's crazy. No I mean more than I am.

Here is my son Cody. He's 5 this year (2000) That is my sister Ashley. Don't ask why we're 20 years apart in age. But I think it's rather cool my sons aunt is younger than he is!

Here's my little guy just taking it easy at my mothers house. What do you expect when your family only gets to see you every couple of years and overwhelms you with "come here!" or "go there!" or even "why do you spend more time there than here!?" Ugh..exhausting.

This is my little neice Illana. This was my first time seeing Illana in person, and I have to say it was very exciting! She's a real funny baby..one night when she was real fussy I decided to hold her and fuss along with her. Only when I did that she seen my tongue ring and found it to be incredibly amazing. so much so she stuck her WHOLE hand in my mouth to figure out what in the world it was! Icky! Baby hands in my mouth!

Here is Cody again. One thing I boneheadedly forgot what just how incredible cold it is in Ohio in the wintertime. I brought his jammies along from our chilly North Carolina winters. That just wasn't enough! The next day I went out and bought him these thick ones and here is he posing for the camera!!!

This here is Cody when he was a week old. One of the joys of being a new parent is taking your baby out for their first pictures. Unfortunately I didn't get his pictures taken in the hospital..ya know? Where you are given the option of purchasing them? With Cody I had an emergency cesarean under general anesthesia and ended up with a real bad fever afterwards. I was never really coherant enough to agree to purchasing pictures :-(

Here is Cody when he was 7 months old. We just got in from the airport in Dayton Ohio from flying his daddy out to the Navy. At the time of course I was totally bummed. Cody really helped to cheer everyone up! This is one of my favorite pictures of him being a silly baby.

Here is Cody with my ex monster in law Dorothy. I have to say one of the best parts of my divorce was freeing myself from this psychotic witch (Amy! Get ahold of yourself!) Whew! Anyways, I think this is a cute picture of Cody :-)

I lived in Virginia Beach Virginia from 96-98. During that time we had the hardest time getting Cody accustomed to the beach and the sand. You would carry him to the sand and go to set him down and he would curl his legs up so his feet wouldn't touch the sand. It was a site LOL Here we were actually able to get him to go in the sand. It was a rare occurance and this picture is worth millions. (no not really)

Here I am with my dog Toby. What? Why you looking at us like that? Oh. The bone? I had a craving! Goodness, don't kill me over it! Just messing. I was just being silly for the camera.

This is me in front of my apartment in NC. It was a rainy and blusterly day. Gloomy. Yuck. LOL

This is me when I was a monster...I mean teenager.

This is my cousin Angie and I when we were younger. This was called the "Toy Room" at my Grandmothers. Yes it was a disaster in there. That was the one room in the house that noone would even bother cleaning. No sense anyways..it would just get messed up again LOL Let's just say, if they filmed Toy Story here it would have been more like Armageddon on the asteroid than in a childs toy room.

This is my sister Ashley.

Ashley again...

....and again...

...and again...nope...this is me. Yeah, this was me when I was a baby.

LOL Here's Ashley...and my cousins Katie and Betsy.

This is Christmas morning in 2000. That's my dad, my step mother Christine and...you guessed it...Ashley...LOL

This is my dad and Christine when they were just dating. She lived in California and he lived in Ohio. I thought Marty in Georgia and me in NC was bad.

This is an old buddy of mine, David. He was stationed with the jarheads...I mean Marines in California. That's his friend Stefani.

This is my big "brother" DeWayne. We've known each other for YEARS. He's always looked out for me and has always (tried) to keep me in line.

Here is DeWayne with my childhood friend Heather. We were friends all throughout elementary through high school and beyond. Imagine my surprise when I talked to her a few years out of high school and she tells me her and DeWayne once dated. Talk about haha!

This is Eric (right). He lived in Raleigh and had quite a bit of money from what I hear. He wanted to date me for the longest. I really liked him, but for some reason I wouldn't give him a chance. But we ended up being cool friends.

This is Eric again....

TOUCHDOWN!

This is Scott. I think I had the hots for him a little. We hung out alot but just never dated. Just seemed better as a friend than a boyfriend. We write each other once in a blue moon. He even has the 2 cool dogs. He called them the "Hounds".

Scott again...

And again!

Guess who?

yeap...

it's Scott

These are the Hounds.

This is his house.

This is Ilana again...LOL how'd she get in with my friends? Wild child...

This was a girl I knew for awhile when I lived in NC. I think she was a stripper. Yeah, that's it.

Two of my favorite cousins again...Katie and Betsy.

This is Monacca. I think she's moved to California. Her and I dated the same guy...just not at the same time. Who would know her and I would become buddies? LOL

Here's another one of my old buddies. I have no idea what she's up to nowadays.

These two guys were cool buddies of mine a few years back. I still keep up with one of them, the other moved to Indiana. Poor guy LOL

This is Nikki. She was such a sweet girl. Last I heard she was living in West Virginia. I don't know which is worse? Living in Indiana or living in West Virginia. Have you ever tried driving through WVa?

This is Zara. She was a blast. We knew each other for a short time through some mutual friends.

Have you seen this man? Used to talk to him alot but then we just stopped. Don't know why. I know he lives in Austin now. Oh well.
