My all time favorite band has FINALLY come out with a new album.
Cold's Superfiction is due out in July.
they released their first single and I love it!
Wicked World.
I absolutely love love love this band, I don't think they've ever made a song I didn't like.
my favorite is Cure My Tragedy, I've always been able to relate to their music, and they don't have to scream or cuss to make it good.

Happy Birthday Carter
Tomorrow is one of my best friends sons 1st birthday Carter Brooks.
I am so lucky to have a friend like Melissa, we've been friends since we were in the 1st grade, I've only seen her cry once in all the years I've known her.
when she told me she was pregnant, on my 21st birthday, I was so shocked, she was the absolute LAST person I thought would get pregnant . I have always looked at her as a sister, someone I needed to look out for, I viewed her as sheltered, pure and innocent, I know thats weird to call someone pure, but thats how I always saw her, like she was the better person, she never drank or partied hard, like I did.. she did good in school, got a scholarship, had a curfew, had a job at a law office..
anyway so 9 months passed and she went into labor, sadly I had moved to texas and couldn't be there.. Carter was born disabled, at that point I don't think I would've had the strength Melissa did, a perfect healthy normal pregnancy and BAM .. something totally unexpected happens.
Carter is probably the most precious little boy I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I know that Melissa is the most perfect mom for him.
He was the first and ONLY baby , my daughter Audrey has ever smiled at.
I am more proud of Melissa than I have ever been of anyone, for her strength, her love, her patience.
I love it when she calls and Carter talks to me on the phone, it brightens my day.
Happy Birthday Carter B
Love you sooo much!!

Mothers Day
Happy Mothers Day!
Audreys gift to me was sleeping for 7 hrs, so that was nice!
I'm so blessed to be a mother, and to be Audreys mother.
she is the most beautiful little girl in the whole world, and so joyful, always smiling and playin.
You really don't know how much you can really love until you have a child.
she's already growing too fast for me!
She's the center of my world, my reason for exsisting.
I love that little girl more than life itself.

It is 2 am.
and I have nothing to complain about, always in my life I've had some obstacle to overcome,something looming over my happiness... not now, for the first time I am stress free, happy, content with where I am in life, Sure I'd like to be getting a bigger place, and I'd like to have my own car but I get to be a stay at home mom and spend every moment with Audrey and I'm complete provided for. Am I spoiled? maybe but I'm not like everyone probably thinks I am.
I'm sure other Roughneck wives have complete access to their husbands money, they go on shopping sprees, they buy themselves things , everyone sees a stay at home mom, especially one that has a husband in the oil field as gold diggers, spoiled or lazy.
thats NOT me. while yes I have access to Justins money, I only use it for food or diapers, things for Audrey and I've never used it without telling him first and after telling him exactly how much I've spent, he doesn't make me do this, but its his money, money he makes sacrificing by being away from his family, he busts his ass on there on the rig, 12 hr days doing hard labor in wind , rain, burning heat and freezing snow.
I never take for granted what I have.
Do I miss having my own money? yes
Do I miss being able to go buy myself new clothes and things? yes
would I trade it for what I have now? no way
being able to be home with Audrey is completely and totally worth it all.
I love cooking my husband dinners and taking care of my daughter.
this is a 180 of where I pictured myself a 3 years ago, even a year ago, but life takes you where you're suppose to be.
and being with Justin and Audrey is the best place in the world for me.

Ccchhh changes
well Justin will be starting on a new rig, he goes to a 4 day training class this week and then probably will head out to his new rig right after, its with a new comapny called Rowan, and its a great company to work for, they have offshore rigs which is eventually what he wants to do.
I'm not looking forward to him being gone for three weeks, but I will like him being back on a two week on, two off schedule again, I like having him home longer.
I got my wedding dress! I almost bought a different one, a short one, then I saw this one in the magazine and had to try it on, my consultant was probably annoyed but oh well it was a bigger commission for him! haha. Its nothing like I pictured myself in at all, but I put it on and KNEW, it was my dress, I felt like a bride, I could see myself walking towards Justin.
We're having the wedding at Justins aunts house , we'll do the ceramony in front of the fireplace using her furniture and random chairs for seating and then have the reception outside, she has a big yard that has a fountain and rose bushes.
our wedding cake is gonna be a Rig cake, something a little unique.
I wanted to do a Brooch bouqet but its just too expensive , and I don't have the time to try and find broochs in order to make my own.
I'm gonna decorate the fireplace with big candles and letters spelling LOVE
for the reception I'm using mason jars for centerpieces.
okay well gotta get Audrey back to bed, and wake Justin up! I have to finish his rig laundry before he leaves!
