Our Newest Addition

When I got up this morning, the last thing on my mind was buying something. But we did. The "service" visit we paid to the Harley shop turned out to be a full blown OMGosh what did we just do kinda thing. Jeremy and I are proud to announce the birth of our newest little piggy....Miss Softtail. She comes with leather and studs and all the chrome you can imagine. She is beautiful.

She is comfortable to ride and the best part is that she has a windshield. After the face numbing hour ride to the shop, I was very glad that this option was available. Being in a Harley shop is like being in another world. We have only owned a Harley for about 6 months, so in Harley terms we are still infants. So I know that is why they look at me funny whenever I come the store. I think they are wondering why I am there and to tell you the truth, so am I. But after you are around them they get to know you and they don't laugh behind your back because you are so ignorant, they just do it to your face. I'm kidding... but they are amused by my ignorance.

Anyway, Jeremy loves loves loves his new Harley. Did I mention he loves it? He wants to park it the living room. As you can imagine I said no chrome just doesn't go with my decor. So, Jeremy is in my car washing whenever I ask debt forever. Funny how marriage comes down to bargaining chips..........

Paige likes it. She said "Daddy, your motorcycle is beautiful." Just brings tears to my eyes.

Well, I guess you want to know a little about me. I'm April and I am thirty something, I really want to say I am twenty something - but I can't. I am thirty - there I said it. I thought I was going to have to join a support group, "Hi, I'm April ---and I'm THIRTY!" gasps and shrieks! Well, let's just say it was hard. I have one smart, beautiful, healthy daughter - Emma Paige aka Paige or Little Emmer when she is bad. She is five going on 16. She is extremely active. That is another support group I am going to join - 30 year old mothers with active 5 year olds that can't keep up. I am married to a wonderful guy named Jeremy. I have been in love with this man since I was 17 years old. He thinks I was 16 when I fell in love with him, so don't tell him it didn't happen until I was 17. Hygiene pays the bills and I do enjoy it, but I really would love to say screw the bills and food and house and just be a photographer.


I live in North Louisiana (FYI - it's pronounced Loo-see-anna in North LA). You only pronounce it the correct way if you are talking to a non-resident. We don't' want to seem to hickish to those around us. If you don't know- in North LA it is so scorching hot in August that hydrants fight over dogs! I love living here. I am proud of my Louisiana heritage. I know we are at the bottom of lots of lists (or top just depending what list you are looking at) and I really think we get a bad rep for very few people that do really dumb things. I mean I would really hate to know people judged me based on my family - because they are somewhat different, yeah different, that is how I'll describe them. We'll get into that later. But, Louisiana is pretty good - it's got one of the richest histories of any other state. So, I hope you like this blog site. I hope to give you a slice of my pretty much uneventful life and a few pics. Just know that I don't know what I am doing and that I hope to make you smile at least one time.
