4th Quarter Katie

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go… and it is only 8:49am.  So today I am taking a much needed vacation and heading to New Orleans to see my Aribear!  It has been too long since we have seen each other and have so much to catch up on.  It kind of feels weird to be going to such a great place, but be looking more forward to spending time with someone.  Don’t get me wrong, it will be great to see the city – I am just REALLY stoked to see my tour guide.  ;)  

I am also really excited about the airports.  Put that raised eyebrow down; if you haven’t noticed from my blogs, I have some pretty great airport stories.  Airports are prime real estate for people watching and I have an uncanny way of getting myself into some awfully peculiar predicaments.  You can feel confident that there will be some great stories upon my return.  

So Ari, I’m on my way; and everyone else – I’ll see next week.

It’s that day again!  The day when Mom’s should be showered with hugs, kisses, flowers, and homemade art.  I have been showered with all of the above!  Redden has been eerily sweet.  Last night and this morning he has blessed me with lots of hugs, kisses, and cuddles.  This morning he (with the help of Ma, one of his grandmothers) gave me a beautiful framed picture of a flower and also gave me a magnet that he made at school.  What a sweet boy!

Last night the Garrity clan celebrated Mother’s Day with margaritas and Mexican food!  We thought we were being loud until the party behind us cleared out.  Our group of 6 kids and 7 adults seemed tame compared to them!  (That doesn’t happen often.)  We had a great time gabbing, joking, and ribbing each other.  

Today Redden and I are going to join Mom and Dad for “How I Became a Pirate” at the Lexington Children’s Theater.  It should be a good time with great company. 

To all you moms out there, Happy Mother’s Day!  I hope it is a great one!

And also a shout out to Beth and Stephen – today is their 1 year Anniversary!  I hear that they have exciting plans… mowing the yard and being domestic.  hehehe  Have fun together you two!
