Et Cetera, Et Cetera, Et Cetera.....

Okay... first things first. Many of you have requested pics of Mr. B. And I would LOVE to show him off to you, but since his divorce is not yet final, it's not something I feel comfortable doing quite yet. I promise you I will when I can!!! Just imagine the most caring, thoughtful eyes, and a warm, sweet smile with brown hair and a goatee. There, you've got him :)

Second things second - you wanted yard signs, you got yard signs. Check out Lizzy for President for ways you can spread the Lizzy love. And even if you don't buy, you need to check it out, because you'll LAUGH.

Third things Third - someone asked where The Ladies and I are moving to. Provided things keep on like they are with Mr. B, we will be moving to the greater Atlanta area when school is done next summer.

Fifth things Forth - If you want to know more about Mr. B and I, I guess this post is the best place to do that. Also if you click here you can find all my sappy, mushy, gushy posts about him.

Letter Q - I think Mr. B and I had talked for about 3 weeks before we decided we wanted to meet (oh who am I kidding, I was ready to meet him the day after we started talking)... and then it was about another month before we actually got to that fateful day in the airport.

Now -I'm gonna leave you with a funny Essie story. When she was 3, we took a trip to Vegas (I'm guessing that's where her love for Elvis started). It was 7 adults and she and we stayed at Circus Circus. We went to the arcade the first night, and began raking in the loot. Not by way of money or chips, but in stuffed animals. Literally.. many many of them. That night she was sitting on the bed of the hotel, admiring her loot, and was especially fond of a panda someone had won. I asked her what it's name was, and she said she didn't know. I suggested "Oreo" (being he was black & white and all)... Essie had some hearing trouble when she was little, and didn't hear me correctly. She said "No... not Oriole. He's not a bird." I rolled my eyes, laughed and said "Well what then?" She got that VERY intense look on her face, followed by a look that clearly indicated the light bulb had turned on and she exclaimed "I know! How about... FlaaaaaaaaMINGO!!!!!!!"

You wrote this post just for me didn't you? I am off to investigate your past. And what part of Atlanta are you headed towards? I keep trying to get bloggers to move to my neighborhood :-) But, you might be headed to DC instead...

I love a good love story : )

That is so cute about the flamingo, my daughter used to call them "bingos".

Would you like me to start making random phone calls at dinner time in support of your campaign?
I am happy to help any way I can.

Essie is so cute! I know that type of look, when their little brain is whirring so fast, smoke is practically coming out of their ears.

All my daughter's stuffed animals are named very literally: Goldie for a stuffed yellow lab, Spotty for a cheetah.

Heather said...

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement today. I appreciate it.

Two years of tears?! How did you do it? I don't think I'm cut out for two years of this!
