Neither have I...

Soooo if you've never seen my friend Kim, i'll just tell you, she is like SERIOUSLEY the tiniest thing EVER!!! (And she isn't even a midget LOL!) So when she first moved into us I didn't FULLY grasp just how small she was. I mean TO ME, ALL my friends are SMALL!!! :) Then I saw her like amongst all my other friends, and my LITTLE friends looked like giants NEXT TO HER!!!

Well I was trying to find cute clothes for her and ALL these teeny, tiny clothes were like HUGE on her!!! Soooooo i'm like OMW!!! How SMALL are you and she says she wears a LITTLE GIRLS SIZE 14!!! I'm like what??? A GIRLS 14??? WOW!!! I would be HAPPY if I was just wearing a LADIES SIZE 14!!!

So she tells me the other day, "Mary, I bought skirts that are a LADIES size 4 & 6." I'm just like okaaaay...COOL!!! She is like, "NO MARY!!! (Like i'm supposed to feel bad for her) You don't understand, I've NEVER worn a size 4 or 6 in my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!!" I just kinda look at her then I'm like, NEITHER have I Kim...

Ten things your DYING to know about me!!!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? My name is Mary Frances, my mom's name is Frances but she didn't name me after her, I was named after my dad's father was named Francis(the male version has an i) who was always known as Frank. I was also named after my dad's mom who was Rita MARY...plus my my mom was a devout Catholic at the time so I was name after THE HOLY VIRGIN MARY...(Which I happen to think is TOTALLY fitting description of me!!! :)))

Get A PICTURE!!!

*SNAP!!! "I just got a picture of that weirdo over there...look at them... Billy Bob is gonna laugh SOOOOO hard when they see it!!! He LOVES this kind of stuff!!!"

Somthing that REALLY brings conviction to my heart is when a picture is taken of a person in the world or even in church, that is just taken to laugh at them. I've seen people post on blogs or facebook pictures of old homeless bums, or midgets or toothless old ladies, or people that are just less fortunate and everyone just laughs and leaves comments...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Well, I might as well start off by telling you all about THE END of my trip!!! Sooooooooo me and my friend Keri Garrett had decided that I should try and get AS many pics as possible with cute cops while I was in NY...I mean, i'm SINGLE so might as well..RIGHT?!?! LOL!!! Wellll...It really wasn't workin out!!! My sister's camera died before I even got close to any cops and PLUS my sis basically said she would have NOTHING to do with the happenings of this CUTE COP PROJECT!!! Sooooooooooo I talked to Keri like two days before I was going home and she was like sooooooooo did you get any pics with cute cops yet?! AND I"M LIKE NO!!! I can't believe it!!! Soooooooooo she says that BEFORE the trip is over, I HAVE TO GET AT LEAST ONE PICTURE WITH ONE!!!! Sooooooooo the last day comes and i'm at the airport headin home and i STILL did NOT have a picture with one!!! I WAS LIKE OMW!!! I TOTALLY FAILED!!! As we are walking to check in our luggage I see before my eyes like THE HOTTEST NYPD EVER!!!!

I get my brother John's attention and he just GRINS at me...and I'm all PULEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE take a picture of me with him...and he is like, I will but not right now...cuz like it was TOTAL chaos with my family and ALL OUR LUGGAGE!!! HAHA! So then John points to a cop across the way and is like, heeey what about him, and I look over to see this really chubby cop...and I'm like HEEEEY him tooo...cuz he is like still REALLY CUTE!!!  Soooooooooooooo...then Chubby and (welll...Kim named the Hot Cop Stud) Soooo Chubby and Stud walk off together and my fam and I check in our luggage and I totally forget about them BECAUSE then we have to through security which is even MORE DRAMA with my family...I forgot to put my hair products in my suitcase instead of my backpack and have to throw out all this hairspray and body spray and stuff AND then my mom like talks security into lettin her keep her Sugar free jam she bough in Amish country...blah, blah, blah...like EVERYONE in my family gets check out for SOMETHING...hahaahh...

WE FINALLY GET THROUGH and are walkin to our gate...and my brother John points with his chin towards something...I LOOK over and OMW...Its Chubby and Stud just standing there like lookin TOTALLY bored!!! Soooooooooooooo I'm like OH JOHN will you PUHLEEEEEEZE take a picture of me with them and of course he agrees...

Well Chubby was like busy on his cell phone like textin or something...so I ask Stud if I can get my picture with them and he agrees and he is like tellin Chubby...She wants a picture and he is just llike Ok and keeps textin and like Stud is like Welll...LIKE STOP TEXTIN...and finally Chubby turns around and he is like, "Want me to take the picture?" Then he sees my brother with the camera and he is like, OH, you want ME in the picture?" Like he is ALL surprised and i'm like, "YEAH!!!" LOL! I think he is used to all THE GIRLS just wantin pics with Stud...but HEEEEEy i'm NOT like that!!! I Like CHUBBY GUYS TOO!!! ;) Soooo look at me and him look kind closer together...hahaha...we would look good together!!!

OOOO and MY MOM even helped me get the pic...she's all like tellin them...its just like really meaninful to us because my father was in the New York Police force for over 20 years!! I'm like OMW...how many of you girls out there have a mom that would ACTUALLY help you get a pic with a cute cop?!?!?! My mom ROCKS!!!

I LOVE my sister's version of the story. She was walkin a head of us and she says she walked by and thought, that cop is HOT! She looked back one more time and sees my mom talkin to him and thinks, "I'm gettin out of here!" She looks back a second later and i'm standin between the two of them... and just takes off to our gate....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

See my BIG cheesy grin?!?! I don't even care about how dorky I look!!! I mean i'm wearing a baseball cap that says, "My Mamma says I'm Special" AND I have NY Pizza grease on my t-shirt...BUT i'm soooo happy cuz i'm standin betweed two HANDSOME NEW YORK POLICE!!!

♥♥♥HOME♥♥♥

HONNNNNEEEEY
 I'm HOOOOOOOOOME!!!
*Shouts Mary as she soars into her house after a long trip all over the east coast of the U.S.!!! She drops her bags filled with new and wonderful treasures, not caring about damaging anything...BECAUSE after all, there is NOTHING she treasures more than the love of her life!!! She can hardly contain her excitement as she throws out her arms and prepares herself to fly into his arms...
THEN it dongs on her...
"OH WAIT!!! I FORGOT...
I'm NOT MARRIED!!!"
(Like DUH!:)

BUT... I REALLY AM HOME PEOPLE!!! I am soooo SORRY I haven't been bloggin...I have sooooo many things I ABSOLUTELY canNOT wait to share with you all...BUT first I want to tell you all about something I saw last night at the airport. When I got off the plane I got off first and got myself seperated from my family. As I was walking to the baggage claim I noticed a group of people waiting for someone to get off the plane. They were holding balloons and welcome signs and everyone was soooo thrilled that I just couldn't help but stay and see the reunion with whomever it was arriving home.

Unaware to the family, I stood in the middle of them and just watched as they began to get all excited when they finally caught a glimpse of him. It was a military man, dressed in a suit. I watched as his mother went running to him. They threw their arms around each other and hugged and hugged and hugged. This young military man held on so tightly to his mother, rocking her in his arms and tears streaming freely down his cheeks. I was mesmerized. Something inside of me began to tighten. Why was my eyes getting watery? I didn't even know them. Why was I feeling this way? What was this that I was seeing?!

I walked away before I really did start crying and the family thought I was CRAZY or something!!! I couldn't understand my emothional response to this scence because the guy wasn't EVEN CUTE!!! (For realZ!)  I thought about it as I walked away, then I realized what I was veiwing...LOVE!!! Love between a mother and son! There is nothing greater than love. I'm NOT talking about romance...BUT LOVE!!! REAL, TRUE LOVE!!!

I came to the conclusion that no matter where I go, no matter what I see, no matter what I do, there is always ONE thing that will always bring me back to my Arizona home. That reason is not for a HUSBAND or because of our INCREDIBLEY wonderful summers, HAHA...but I will always be back for ONE REASON... and thats LOVE!!!

After every trip, I NEVER feel sad about going home. Not matter the weather, the attractions, the sights...NOTHING can compare to my family, my church, my friends... you all mean the world to me...more to me than you'll ever know!!!

Love will ALWAYS bring me home!!! :)
