fuckin' FINALLY

**people, it took me WEEKS to get all these photos uploaded. i'm talking multiple sessions of blogging. mother-effer, ya'll better appreciate this.**

so, that weekend i was talking about....

i surprised the crap out of my mom. you can't really see, but she's freaking the f out (she thought i was some punk kid hanging out in the outdoor living room at 6:30am)

additionally, did you notice tre's devil eyes?

then i drank 20+ ounces of coffee and drove up to marshall to see my favorite people. all the blonde is shocking (note my supremely amazing haircut - i got it fresh that day. most expensive haircut ever)

this kid is my FAVORITE kid of all time

there are no picture unfortunately of the awesome time i had that night with my very best marshall friends (who don't even need that clarification, they are just awesome friends). we ate nachos and had drinks and i was so so so so so happy to see them all. hello chris & fenner & holly & cheryl & liz & angie & jessica & debra & hammer & dean!

the next morning, i woke up, shook a small child upside down, drank more coffee, and drove back home, so we could celebrate my mom's birthday like this:

i can't even remember what we were laughing at, but it sure was funny.

it felt amazing to hang out with these excellent ladies:

uncle jim says "oh justin bieber? he seems like a cool kid - he really has his act together."

my mom looked great on her birthday.

also, sunday had no pictures, but it was a delicious day of mimosas, redskins naps, pizza rolls, and cookies. oh yea and a flight home to see these great guys:

in other news, we had thanksgiving in town with the till side of the family, including cutest new nephew kyler (gratuitous amount of pictures)

food was great.

baby was warm.

dog was cute.

christmas tree was chopped down and propped back up.

good times.

BAM - you didn't even see that picture post coming, did you?!
