Happy Birthday My Love!

My DH turned 35 yesterday! I am so blessed to spend my life with this incredible man. Anyone who has ever met him will agree that to know him is to love him. His energy and passion for life and people is like none I have ever known. Since he'entered my life...I've had the time of my life.

Remembering to Rely

I saw this picture on Seventh Diamond's blog and thought it pretty much summed up my morning thoughts. As I was driving back home after dropping Dan off at work, my mind was racing as to when Lauren might arrive, how much the cost of airline tickets will be by then, etc. etc. and than a thought passed through my mind. Oh yeah, God is in control. I so often forget this and take hold of the reigns myself. I like to be in the driver's seat, however, life is so much more peace-filled when I rely on Him.

Nine Years Ago Today...

Nine years ago today I showered while singing "going to the chapel" (later to find out he did the same thing). Nine years ago today my 5'1" mom was driving all of my out of town relatives around in a huge white rental van. Nine years ago today I danced the Macarena, bunny hop, chicken dance, and the Waltz with my husband. Nine years ago today, my groom and I forgot all the moves we had rehearsed for our Waltz and looked into eachother's eyes and just "winged it".

Nine years ago today I married my best friend and could not have imagined how wonderful life was going to be as his wife.

Ouch

My DH broke his left radial bone in his Jiu Jitsu class last week. Can you see the fracture in the picture? He'll be in a cast for 6-8 weeks. :(

11 Days

The past 11 days have been blissful. I cannot remember feeling this relaxed. We started our vacation by going camping up in Flagstaff. Despite it being the coldest camping trip we have ever been on, we had a blast...


Bailey enjoyed herself as well...


An attempt to get a family picture by the fire :)


We played games including Star Wars Stratego and Yahtzee. I rolled a yahtzee on my first roll! (We laughed until we cried trying to get this shot)

Did I mention Bailey enjoyed herself? She was thrilled to find that our new tent had a door just for her! ;)

The wind was howling when we left and Dan got this shot of the tent flying away as we were trying to take it down.

Life is good!
