Thanks, Marb!
Mary is one of my all-time favorite people from high school and now that we've grow up, she's even more beautiful, TALENTED and amazing. She's been in print and internet ads and even had her beautiful face plastered on a building!!
Also... She was a chicken in Japan.
I remember one night when Dustin and I were watching TV (Lost, to be exact) and it went to commercial break so we started makin' out and all of the sudden I heard Mary's voice. Yeah, She was on a commercial. It blew my mind!
I'm so proud of all that she's done and where she's going with her life. Eeeep! Life is amazing. :)
Hope you all had a great weekend!

As part of my New Year's Resolution, I've been spending this month catching up on all the thing that took the back seat on my blog. Since I'm half way through my 27th year and this series, 26 While 26, hasn't seen the light of day since summertime, I wanted to try and catch up a bit. I didn't complete all of my goals for my 26th year. Oh well, it happens. Nobody is perfect, right? Twenty-six was a great year for me, with the highlight of course being the birth of Roman two days before I turned 27.
I've done a few of the things on my list since I last posted, and thought I'd share them with you.
----->
Number 19, "Get at least one of the phrase tattoos that I've been dreaming of," is something that I am going to revoke my desire for. I, for the time being, have decided to not get any more tattoos on my body. I am a big fan of the beauty in simplicity and adding more lines and colors to my skin, I feel, will overwhelm that. Please don't take this as me saying that your tattoos (if you have them) are not beautiful or that I look down upon you! To each their own, and for me that does not include body art.
Number 22, "Do something selfless twice a month," is a fulfilling one! It breaks my heart when I'm behind someone at the store and they're counting every nickle and end up having to put an item back because they don't have enough. Giving is good for the soul. It can also be fun. Let me just say that you want to be behind me in the Starbucks drive-thru. ;)
Number 25, "Be honest with people," is something that I've really worked on. Sometimes honesty, especially when it you that you have to be honest with, can be a very hard thing. I believe that it's the right thing, though and I've come clean with a few people in my life and it feel so... freeing. If faced with a lie and the truth, choose honesty my friends.
As this post comes to a conclusion, I am hangnig up 26 While 26. I hope you enjoyed the posts and accomplishments that I shared.
From here on out, Bucket List will be the home of my life goals.
With love,
Violet

I heard this song on the radio a few days ago and then again today on the way home from the grocery store.
I really, REALLY like it.
I hope you do, too.

Hi guys! I'm just about to go to bed and since I haven't posted in a few days, I just thought I'd say hello. Total phone post!
I went to lunch with my Family on Thursday... Doesn't Squid look like me Daddy?! Blows my mind. Mom took the second picture of me and my boy. Melt my heart to the core. I had no ideas babies grew so damn fast and I just say that where he is now is my favorite stage so far.
Last night (Friday) Matt & Nat came over and we drank. This Momma was drunk. You may or may not have seen my Instagrams.. That's dangerous, the drunk posting! Goodness. :) I haven't been that drunk in years and totally saved myself by popping three charcoal tabs, a folicacid/B-12 and four glasses of water before bed. We all woke up felling a bit... parched, but after some gluten free pancakes, eggs and turkey bacon, we were good to go.
Natty and I spent the afternoon at Barnes & Noble reading and chatting and snacking and it was heaven! The boys hacked some computer something while we were gone and played some Soul Caliber on xBox. Bromancing kind of stuff, you know.
Bub and I saw the new Underworld at the drive-in tonight and Roman made noise in his car seat the whole time. He's no longer the sleepy baby - he wanted to see what was going on even though it was dark and two hours past his bed time by the time it ended. He went right to sleep, like always, as soon as I laid him down at home.
Tomorrow is grocery day and relaxing. Mom and Dad were going to come out for lunch and the Japanese $1.50 store, but we rescheduled. Time to just relax and stay close to home. Bliss!
Have a superior Sunday!
Xo,
Violet

These boys think that you should click on the the "About" button to the right. ----->
I've been writing that page for a few weeks (and in my head for a very long time) and I know that it's almost a novel. In fact, half way through I thought it might be easier to just WRITE a novel. If you have a few minutes, take a peek!
Hope your weekend was as great as ours!
We had a tiny little party with the five of us for Mr. Matt's birthday.
Life is amazing!
xo,
Violet
(If you don't go to my "about" page, I might find out where you live and look at you like this all day. Also, I'll bring Squid and he can drool on your pants like he did on his. Fun stuff!)
