I don't think I'm going to update my blog [much] tonight. I had a storyline and everything, but I think I'll save it for a later entry. I'm sure you're disappointed. I understand. :)
Something(s) new:
1. This update comes to you from my brand new MACBOOK! And it might be a little early, but.. I think it's love.
2. My nephew, Brayden has a birthday party this weekend and he turns 4!! Time flies... and I'm getting old.
3. I saw a butterfly yesterday as I was driving down 440, and it was so beautiful. The sun was shining, it was warm, the flowers were blooming and it was just fluttering around. I was convinced I was having one of those "everything is perfect" moments..
... and then the stupid thing ran into my windshield. Bummer. :(
PS - Does anyone else scream at squirrels as they attempt to cross in front of your car as you're speeding driving through a neighborhood, in hopes that they hear you and get out of the way?? I swear I think I might wreck my car one day trying to avoid hitting a squirrel. I really don't need another story like this to tell.

Practice What You Preach..
I had a great long weekend over Easter. Craig and I went to Wilmington to spend some time with my family at the beach. It's been a couple months since I've been home, so it was definitely time. My brother, Jeremy, and his wife and kids also went down so it was a packed house on Sunday for Easter lunch. They had decided to go home on Thursday after work, which leads into my reason for writing this blog.
Thursday, as you know, was April Fool's Day. Luckily, I wasn't a victim this year, thank goodness. I'm gullable enough to where it doesn't take a "special day" for people to try their trickery. Anyway, so they had decided to head home on Thursday, and they stay with Kim's parents usually when they go home since she is from Wilmington as well. Kim is my sister-in-law, in case I've lost you. Well, Kim tells her dad that they have meetings or something on Thursday, so depending on when they can get away from those will dictate whether they come home later on Thursday night, or early Friday morning. They ended up getting away from work early and headed down, and surprised her mom. Kim's dad wasn't home yet when they got there, so they had him believing that they wouldn't be in until the next day.
So, Kim and Jeremy tell Brayden and Kirsten to hide when Grandpa pulls in and to yell "April Fool's!!" when he walks in. My niece, Kirsten (age 2), then goes around to remind everyone several times "Don't forget to say 'April Fool's' when Grandpa gets here!" They all, of course, comply and he pulls in the driveway. They all hide anxiously and then... he walks in the door. Kirsten jumps up and says...
"TRICK OR TREAT!"
...Oh dear.
