I'm in a unique and challenging situation in my life. I know someone (not anyone that is family) that has lied to my face numerous times. This person knows that they are lying and knows that I know that. The interesting part is that I have to assume that this person is telling me the truth. I know that I am being slightly vague, but I have to be. I need to vent, and at the same time I feel like I'm in a movie listening to this person talk. I didn't realize how vile people could be, until I was faced with situations in which in an instant someone can come up with a lie to talk their way out of something. It amazes me that people can be so good at lying.... Doesn't it eat them up inside to be so dishonest? I feel like karma is going to strike me down, when I even tell white lies, and I feel like I would end up like the street guy in Ghost being carried away by transparent demon-like things to the depths of hell. Seriously. I think everything ends up coming full-circle at some point in your life.

I guess I'm just frustrated. To sum up the rambling... There is an individual that I have caught in numerous lies in the past couple of days that I have to deal with on a daily basis. I chose not to take action against this person in the hopes that this is just some sort of rebellion against a stressful environment. Others know that this person is lying, and it would be my call to take action. I choose not to, simply because I would feel badly about any negative action that I pursued. Oh lordy, long story...

Personally, I can't stand liars. Liars make me sick. Give them enough rope I say. I'll post pictures of the girls later, and add more cheerful commentary. When am I going to win the lottery, so that I don't have to participate in adult daycare? grr

Engagement Pictures!!

We finally got our engagement pictures done! We went to the Gaylord Texan, which is beautiful inside. I am completely in love with the Spanish architecture in the atrium. If you ever pass through Grapevine, I think it is well-worth visiting. The hotel rates are high of course, but there are four or five restaraunts, some shops and a spa all within the resort. Anyway, it was recommended that we take them there by our photographer, so kudos to Chris! I loved it!

Here are a few from the shoot. We literally took hundreds, so these are some of the ones that both of us had on our LONG list to narrow down for prints...

waiting for John to change...
I liked this doorway and I really wanted to get it in the picture... not quite the effect I was hoping for, but it is still nice...

We both love the colors in this one.

The doors behind us were enormously heavy Spanish doors, and I really liked them obviously. We have a ton of pictures in front of them.

I have to say that I adore this shot. I think this is my favorite, and this might be the best picture that we have ever taken.

Time is flying...

So Kylee is now walking with her push-toy. We got her ears pierced, and we turned her around and put her in Kayden's seat. We got Kayden a big girl princess seat. It's pink with gold crowns and "Princess" ALL over it. I will post pictures tonight, and I will also add video of Kylee walking....

They are so growing up...
