hardy party

i'm on the quest for a modest swimsuit and in my travels through google land this is one of the gems I came across for modest swimsuits that had me laughing. while i wish it was fashionably acceptable and normal to show up to the pool, beach or lake in a full body manatee suit (by the way this does come in different colors and prints if you're interested) i'm not looking for something so extremely modest. anyone know of some cute places to find modest suits? if you're also looking for a swimsuit here are a couple of sites i've liked so far that have possibilities: reyswimwear.com & limericki.com...please share any you have, i'm heading to las vegas in a few weeks and than on to california and i need a swimsuit!!
p.s. if you have curves and a little bit of baby left over like myself please avoid victoria secrets swimsuit site at all cost to eliminate depression...just a suggestion!

we're enjoying the nice weather!

i finally got my driving priviledges back and i'm on the road again...well legally! greg and i saw the bounty hunter on saturday and i related to it on some level...jk. on monday i recieved a letter FINALLY telling me after 3 years that my license was suspended and if i was found driving my vehicle would be impounded, possibly sold and i would be given jail time...CRAZY! luckily it's all behind me, just in time to drive the new truck my husband bought on thursday! i'm so glad to have my license back, though i wish the picture was better, i asked the lady to photoshop it...but no luck. road trip anyone??

3 years ago on april fool's day i made a call to my parents in the early hours of the morning letting them know it was time to head to idaho...i was having luke. they were in southern utah on their way to california, they thought i was pulling a joke...but later that night i had the most beautiful baby boy, no joke! for luke's
