A-U-N-T-I-E "M"!

This is Auntie "M" here...just returning from 5 glorious days in North Carolina, where I finally got to meet my precious (insert any other adjective here that would describe a baby) Jack Man! Nichole and Greg are amazing parents and Jack is just the cutest baby I have ever seen! Of course, Nichole and Greg are still trying to adjust to Jack's schedule, but he seriously is one of the quietest babies I have ever been around.
This was my first time to travel to North Carolina and although I didn't get to see a whole lot of it, ( I was way more focused on my sweet Jack) I absolutely loved what I saw! We went out to dinner two nights I was there and the food was great, and one day we went to brunch and that was amazing also! If you can't tell I had a FANTABULOUS trip!
But what I really enjoyed though was being at home with new mom and dad and Jack. I cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, watched some t.v. and even let Nichole and Greg catch up on a little bit of their sleep while I watched Jack. (Of course I had to BEG Nichole to go take a nap because she just didn't want to leave him...and what good mother wouldn't?) I let Nichole know that by the time she got up from her nap Jack had already spoken his first words, smiled at me, started walking and even told me that he loved me!

I am so incredibly lucky to have such an amazing family....Momma was there for 4 days and we caught up on a lot, Nichole and Greg were meant to be parents, and now I am off to visit Poco for 5 days in Dallas!
I think I am on a high...an "Auntie" high! I have the most handsome nephew around....Jack Man and his Auntie "M"!
I am already planning another trip back so I can see the Graham Fam! Love all of you!! xoxox

I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane.....

Today is the day I have been waiting 9 plus months for... I get to meet my baby nephew Jack! I am so excited that I woke up at 4:30 and I haven't really been able to sleep since then. Let's just hope and pray that American Airlines does something right for once and gets me to my destination ON TIME! My track record with them is not good! Get excited, because I will post some extremely adorable pictures when I get back. And once I'm home from North Carolina...I'm headed to Texas to spend some much needed quality time with the lil' sis! Oh the Joys of Family and of SUMMER!

When Walt's Away

When Walt's away knowing that I get to come home to this everyday........makes it all better.

She is precious and I have no problem admiting it!

And They Lived Happily Ever After......

Happy Two Year Anniversary! (Today is June, 3...everytime I hit publish post, it says June 2nd..I know when my anniversary is!)It's so hard to believe that two years ago Walt and I were married. I can hardly imagine how my life was without him in it...more less without him being my husband. Our wedding was the most perfect day...and by far the most fun we have ever had! We were surrounded by family and friends and it was everything we could have ever asked for. The reception was just the way we wanted it...THE ULTIMATE DANCE PARTY! We danced from 8:30 at night until 2:30 in the morning...and that was with me and Walt sneaking out because people were still dancing!

Being married to Walt has been a complete adventure. Who would have ever guessed that we would have gotten out of the "Baylor Bubble" and made some pretty incredible friends? Walt and I both thoroughly enjoy our work and being "away" (would you call 4 hours away?) from family has allowed us to grow as a married couple. He still surprises me, he prays with me, he is my anchor, he is a FABULOUS tour guide, and he is honestly my better half. I love doing yard work with him, love going on picnics, love watching movies with him, love talking to him on the phone when he is WHO KNOWS WHERe and I love just being with him...isn't that what being married is all about? Here's to many more anniversaries...and being lucky enough to find you when I did...because my forever started the day I said "I do." I love you!

Me with my fabulous Maid of Honor...Mrs. Katie Hill Oh I was about 10 seconds from walking down the aisle and becoming Mrs. Walt Bass Jr.

Yay for being married!
Poppy cut in on the first dance! How precious is he!?

My own personal Santa Claus

Walt left today to travel to Northern Alaska. He is basically going to be located at the north pole. This is the northern most point of Alaska and this where he is headed. So, my Walter Bass is going to be my own Santa Claus for the next 18 days. (maybe he will run into ole' Saint Nick while he is there.) I decided I would look up the weather just so I could see what he is getting himself into. I mean the hottest "high" here for the next 18 days is going to be 96 degrees. The lowest "low" will be 66 degrees. As for Walt in Barrow, Alaksa he can hope that the day he leaves it could quite possibly get up to 61 degrees, but he better bundle up because tonight the low is 29. This is not an audit that I am jealous of... think I will just be happy that I am staying here enjoying my hot, sun shiny weather!
