It's Been Crazy Alright...

Sorry it's been awhile, but I've been as nuts as usual. Michigan rocked. We got in Wednesday afternoon, chilled out, tried on dresses, got invitations, met with the church, showed my dad's car in the Dream Cruise, met up with friends, attended a wedding in Chicago and flew out Monday morning.

The rest of last week was spent moving and cleaning house, putting horses in pasture until I have more fence built, getting things together for school, going crazy...

And now I'm back to school getting it all together even more before the kids show up on Monday. Fun.

Also a bit disappointed in my future MIL. She hightailed it out of state with Nate's daughter without discussing the situation with him while were gone. Unfortunately because of it she was unable to meet her teachers, pick up her pony or go to the lake with us on a family weekend we had planned. I'm still hot about it. I totally respect her for all she's done for Nate, but somewhere in there she's forgotten that he is the parent. And it makes me feel like I must not be good enough for her granddaughter either.

So we spent part of the weekend at Lake Navajo boating, wake boarding, water skiing, hanging with friends, bbqing, etc. It was fun and a good break. I finally felt like I was back in my element. I'd almost forgotten how much I miss the water! Supposedly there are pics somewhere so I'll try and get those.

The Dream Cruise was awesome. I'm such a classic car girl. I told Nate this was my wish list.
They just don't make cars this detailed anymore.


Look a little closer at this beauty...


Like the tailpipes?

Check out these beauties. I'd be hard pressed to pick one out for myself, but I think I'd have to go with the '62 Corvette. I'm a 'vette gal through and through...Can you guess which one it is?

And my daddies car. Actually, it's my mommies - but she lets him pretend it's his. It's a '65 Bel Air.

More to come...

Funny I drove a 62 red vette to school when I was in high school! I loved that car and would love another one. :) great picture and I can't wait to see more.

So bummed that I wasn't able to meet up with you when you were in town. Hope you had a great trip and can't wait to see more pics.

My Dad has a '67 Mustang. It's powder blue and really cool. I used to love it when he would drive me to my riding lessons in it! So fun!!

I am glad you had fun in MI!! The good old Midwest....sigh....gotta love it over there.....

Sorry about your MIL. Is she used to doing things like that? Your MIL should have at least had the common curtsy to have her back when you guys got back. I hope Nate talked to her about that.

My MIL was kinda like that. She used to call early in the morning, every morning to make sure my husband got up for work. Then she got really mad at me when I asked her to stop calling. I didn't want the kids to wake up with the phone ringing every morning at 5:30am. Sometimes Common sense lacks in the MIL department.
