Laura's Lies!: Waiting for Grandma and Grandpa...

There was tree hunting, a dance recital, and school play. But, of course, the most important preparation was going to see Santa!

Why do I call my blog "Laura's Lies"?

Beyond Odd!

Neal and I had this picture taken at the Oregon Acquarium. I love the caption, " Beyond Odd". This is how I feel at times.
I can remember when what people thought was really important to me. My mother-in-law, Bette, said that she was very conservative when she was younger, as well. She dressed conservative, was conservative, and worried about what others might think. But, as she got older she decided that she could wear bright red if she wanted, wear an aloha dress and feel great, and she could totally be herself. I loved her so much for sharing this with me. I didn't get it, but I loved her. Now, I get it. I wear matching shirts with Neal, which really bugs our kids, especially if it has Disney on it. I found that aloha shirts are fun. I am comfortable with who I have become and I am happy about it. Neal has made this transformation along with me, so, now we are together and a little "Beyond Odd!"
