So I s'pose this is my "welcome to me I'm 7 different kinds of crazy" intro blog. I can't really tell you what to expect from me or this blog, because lord knows I have no idea what to even do with this BLOG that my pretend sister wife ashrey has insisted that I start. *kudos to her for finding the sick ass template BEE TEE DUBS!* Enough about her though, she's awesome and all, but this shnit is about me.
Honestly there's not much to me.
I guess the best way to really introduce you to my life is to use pictures, because what better way than visual aids right?
oh hai reptar (no but forrealzies this picture was taken in Okinawa, Japan)
That ^^ is possibly the most unflattering picture of myself that I could find, but it's probably the best representation of who I am caught on sim card (I was going to say film...but...WTF IS FILM!?) My name is Amanda Mande (pronounced like Mandy...I know... laugh it up). I'm a mom, a wife and come November 7th, you can add student to that list. I'll warn you now all I have to talk about really is: my princesses, my husband's: nerdy, annoying, obnoxious, hilarious and some times just plain aggravating shenanigans, Winston (our very spoiled Golden Retriever) and my current obsession with all things crafty. I can craft my ass off. . . only not like literally, because if so my ass wouldn't have it's own ZIP code right now and that shlamz does. DAMN YOU BABIES! imz justz jokingz jeez guyz. So basically, I don't have a life outside of my kids and husband right now. I like to pretend like that super sucks, but let's face it, I'm living in a house with my four very best friends and every single one of them depends on me, some more than others, and that kind of makes me feel like super woman. Who doesn't want that?! It's awesome, no doubt.
So, time to meet the fam. They're a buncha characters, be ready y'all.
this is the first picture i took of him.
This is my mostly normal and incredibly handsome piece of man meat Bryce. Believe it or not we met while we were both in Okinawa, Japan. A little over a year ago we decided living without each other just wasn't an option and got married. Sometimes he annoys the piss out of me, but in all honesty, he's pretty much the only thing that keeps me sane 97.6% of the time. He's a walking version of Prozac for me. Thanks dude.
this picture just melts my heart.
This gorgeous little girl is my 3 y/o Lily Addison. She is what they call a princess and doesn't let you forget it for even a minute. It's super cliche' to say, but she saved me. I was 18 when I had Lily and before her I never wanted kids. She made it really easy for me from the minute I laid eyes on her. She's growing up so fast and I hates it. To say she keeps me on my toes is an understatement.
"oh hey picture lady"
Emory Mae is our newest addition. She's almost 2 months old and she's perfect. With the exception of her thinking that 5 a.m. is an acceptable bed time, I wouldn't change a thing about her. We're still getting to know each other, so I don't have much to say, but I'm sure you're going to see and hear all about her amazing accomplishments along the way.
So that's my little family and this is my blog that will be 99% filled with them. I'm pretty pumped for this, i've needed an outlet for my craziness for a while and now I have one.
