Excited about his new spiderman jammies 
Fun with cupcake rings!
I have been super busy getting ready for Chase's 3rd birthday party tomorrow! I finally got a second to sit down and thought I would do a quick post. I had a great Valentines day with my two guys, I will post more on that later. Right now I want to focus on Me Ra's new photo contest L-O-V-E and encourage everyone to not only check out this months contest but Me Ra's blog in general is awesome. I was the winner of the first contest and won a great prize. I havent entered any of the other contests but I really enjoy voting on them, and love to see people win such great prizes. So go over to Me Ra's and vote on the next winner! They will win Adobe Lightroom, super cool software which i'm still trying to learn how to use ;)
Okay back to party preperations!
Here's my winning photo of Chase and Calmerin at Bob's Cornfeild and me with my prizes!
Falling in love is amazing but even more amazing is being able to fall in love with the same person over and over again. As horribly cliche' as it sounds relationships have many seasons. This is especially true the longer your with that special someone! Some seasons are fruitful and full of slendor and others are dry feel baren and sometimes hopeless.
After ten years together Chris and I have been through many harvests and many droughts yet we always come out together, sometimes barely ;) but never the less intact!
This last year has been the best of all our years together and hopefully we will continue on the path of growth, support and love. It's hard not to love a man that does things like this...
A single rose left in my car as a surprise in the morning on my way to work. Great way to start the day!
Or my other favorite... xtra hot non fat vanilla latte waiting on my nightstand when I wake up!
But even better than those awesome surprises is everday hearing i'm beautiful and the constant reminders of how much he loves me!
Happy Birthday Princess!
Here I am posing with the check I won from 92.5 in their "Show me the money" contest, $100 Buck-O-Roo's baby! I've never won anything on the radio before but this time I had a feeling I was going to win. The station had been running promos for week's so when the first day came I was on it! I e-mailed and text'd my name in and listened patiently for them to call me. The first four hours went by and no "Amanda Mays you have 9 minutes and 25 seconds to call in" but I was not discouraged yet because "up next is afternoon diva Mason". Now for those of you not in the know "Mason" is a talented gal with many a alias my favorite being "Mrs. Strawberry" from the totally addicting best blog in the universe Weddingbee!
For many moons I was obsessed with all things weddingbee. I would keep the screen up all day and refresh every few hours to see if there was any new posts, sick I know but so much fun! Right before Mason called the winning name I thought how cool would it be if Mrs. Strawberry called my name? I mean after all I was there when she planned her wedding for Christ sake! I was there when her cat pee'd all over her favor boxes, I was there to weight in on Poof vs. Sweep (I picked sweep, she went with poof), I was there to comment on her too cool picture's with the pigs on parade and it was I that was there to envy her mashed potato martini bar!
It was destiny that I was to be her first winner, we are so totally BFF's. When I called in .5 seconds later she answered the phone and I was prepared to scream "oh my god your Mrs Strawberry I won a $100 bucks from Mrs Strawberry" but I chickened out and instead said "oh it's very exciting" (in a non excited way) and then proclaimed "show me the money baby!" After being on hold for several minute's while they edited my lame victory screech I heard myself on the radio sounding like an udder spaz! But hey sounding like a tard for all of Seattle to hear is an okay price to pay for a nice check in the mail two weeks later! Thanks Susan!
