What I am thankful for.......

On this wonderful Thanksgiving day, I would be so selfish if I didn't stop and take the time to realize how blessed I am and how much I should be thankful for. So I decided to write a little list :)

1. My wonderful husband and children who make my life busy, but fill me with more joy and happiness than I thought could be possible.
2. My wonderful family (who keeps life interesting, but is always there to support and comfort me!!)
3. A warm beautiful house I get to wake up to every morning.
4. Technology(Internet, cell phone, computer, etc. (makes life so much quicker)
5. My health(knock on wood) I am so blessed to have a healthy body that can do anything I put my mind to!
6. Christmas lights! (If it were up to me it would be a law that Christmas lights have to stay up year round!)
7. Good friends who are always up for an adventure, and are always there for me!!
8. California!!! You are always an escape from life's daily routines, and I am excited to visit you next week!!!
9. Cars... Once again making life so much easier.
10. television that always keeps me in the know :)
11. Cute accessories, they help make any outfit just a bit cuter!!!
12. Orange rolls :) (no explanation needed)
13. crafty people who inspire me to become crafty.
14. Cafe Rio (you help me out time after time, when cooking doesn't sound fun!)

Family Pictures Sept 2009

I love how our family pictures turned out, and I want to give a big huge thanks to my very talented sis-in-law Susan Hayward, who spent a full day at our family vacation taking our pictures. She was so patient with us while have to suffer through all of the whining, crying, fussing and non cooperating that goes along with family pictures and kids!!! Thanks again Susan you're the greatest!!!

9 years and counting......

From the time I was a little girl, I always dreamed about my wedding, From what flowers I was going to throw,to what dress I would wear, to the food we would eat. I loved dreaming about my wedding and all its details, but the one thing I never detailed to much about was what my husband would be like. Sure I had all these in visions of beautiful men that would adorn my side, but I never had a certain, specific, note pad-check mark man that would be my husband, until I met you!!!

After our first date (hence the wedding singer song), I knew no one would ever live up to the standard or pedal stool I put you on. No one has ever treated me like you do, cared for me like you do, plain out gets me like you do!!!! You get my jokes, you know how to make me happy, make me laugh, and make my day!!!!!
Thanks for making the last detail of my dream wedding come true. I love you!! So here's to 9 wonderful years, and many more to go!!! :)






I love you more than you will ever know, you are my best friend, my soul mate, my everything!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!
