Friday Photo Flashback

Happy Friday everyone! It's time to join Alicia over at More Than Words for Friday Photo Flashback, where you grab your old photos (pre-digital), put your scanner to use and tell us your stories! This is my second time doing it and it's so much fun. I have a box of old photos in my closet and it was so great going through them to find one to scan for today. So many memories!

This particular photo of my brother, Jonathan, and I was taken in the early to mid-1980's in Hawaii. My dad was stationed there at the time, which was so cool because all of my mom's family lives there. Jon and I had grown up on the real kung-fu movies. You know, the ones where the guys' mouths move faster than the words coming out of them? At the time, the original Karate Kid movie had come out, so we were practicing our crane kicks outside of a Bob's Big Boy restaurant after breakfast.

I can't believe how tiny my brother was back then. So cute. And oh how time has passed. I must have been around 7 or 8 then. Over 20 years ago. Look how far we've come! Not to mention 2 additional Karate Kid movies came out and now the newest re-make starring Will Smith's son is coming on next month. And I'm going to see it!

Have a happy day ya'll and see ya back on here this afternoon!

Ten on Tuesday

1. Honestly, today I didn't realize that it was Tuesday until about half way through the day. I wanted it to be Wednesday so bad. Heck, really want it to be Friday. I guess that's what I get for not blogging yesterday. I totally messed up my flow!

2. As I'm sitting here doing this, Lucy is sprawled out next to me and she's got bad gas! Peeeeee-yew! I'm sorry I'm putting your business out like that, baby girl.

3. I'm not doing so well with my 40-hour work weeks. Now that I've hit my 7th month, I'm supposed to be following an 8-hour work day schedule. So really, I'm supposed to leave work by 5 if I get to work at 9. I didn't know that the hour for lunch counts too. But it's been four days since I hit 28 weeks and I haven't gotten home earlier than 6:30. It's my fault though.

4. Lucy and I have made new walking friends at the park. We see Aracely and her 4 year old daughter, Isabella, pretty much every night. Lucy loves playing with Isabella. They like to run off together. It's just great to see that Lucy loves playing with little girls. Maybe a glimpse of what to expect when Vaiosina is that age.

5. Aracely was sweet enough to give me two pairs of Old Navy maternity cargo pants--one khaki and one green--that she's not using anymore. They fit so well and are so comfy! I'm stoked. I was going to buy some this weekend, but no need for that anymore. I love having sweet new friends!

6. I got the phone call from the hospital about my 3-hour glucose test lab results. Everything is NORMAL! And thank the Lord. If those people were going to tell me to lay off the sugar, I just might have gone off the deep end!

7. I'm at that point in my pregnancy where my baby is jumping on my bladder like it's a trampoline or something. I have to pee literally every two minutes. I mean, I was totally expecting this to happen, but geez, it's annoying.

8. My friends Chrissy and Melody are going to be here for Memorial Day Weekend and I cannot wait! I haven't seen Melody since the end of 2006. I'm so stoked. I'll tell you guys more about them in the weeks to come.

9. Congratulations to my little brother, Jon, and his fiance, Jolene! They are officially new homeowners and I am so happy for them! Yay! Now, if they would just get married already! Seriously, they've been together for over 10 years! I love you guys.

10. One of these days, I'm going to attempt to put together the glider I purchased for the nursery last weekend. I am so pumped about it. It was the best model they had at Babies 'R Us, and regularly priced for $499.99. I had about $175 worth of gift cards left over from the baby shower and they just happened to have 20% off furniture that day. So I got it for more than 50% off!

Anyway, the weekend can't come soon enough. It's only day two of the week and my body doesn't seem to want to take any more. Is that bad? Well, gotta go. J-Lo is on the George Lopez Show and I wanna see!
