Happily ever after...


Well happily ever after for the most part...We aren't done yet so ya know.  Everyone knows in the real life it isn't always happy go lucky.  But that you have to work hard at being happy together.  And ya know what else we really are.  We have our problems we may not point them out for the world to see but we have them just like every single married couple that has chosen to stick it out through the rough patches.  But who knew that the longer you work at it the easier it gets.  I mean really we hardly ever fuss or fight anymore, I guess its because the things that scared us before and caused us to fight aren't really big issues after all.  Like bills, money, in laws (or outlaws), job changes or this parenting thing.  I don't really know what causes it to seem easier (maybe we both just had time to really grow up) but it really does seem easier.  Now you watch I'll wake up tomorrow all cranky and in a bad mood and we will have one heck of knock down drag out and I will be thinking this whole post was just a bogus mess (not really just saying that's my luck)    ;)
 
We really have grown so much together.  It makes me laugh when the girls ask about when I met dad...because when I met their dad I didn't even want a boyfriend much less a husband.  It was funny i was being pushed into meeting this guy and God knows I am (was) incredibly shy.  I didn't want any of that business yet here we are 19 years later celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary with children that are getting ever so close to being old enough to leave the nest.  We have started spending more and more time together as a couple again and it's almost like were are dating all over again.  I am loving this stage in life and I would bet that if you asked him he would agree that it just keeps getting better with every passing year.

Have a great week

Happy New Year! !

I can not believe how quickly the years pass now that I am inching ever so close to 40.  Some people say "wow I dont know where the year went"  but crazy as it sounds I do know.   It really seems like yesterday Stephen and I were hanging out with some friends waiting to ring in 2013.  And here it is January 1, 2014.  It flat flew by.  At first thought I could think I don't know what happened to the time.  But given a few minutes to ponder it all I remember well what all happened (Stephen always gives me 9 kinds of crap about posting on Facebook or instagram but when looking back they help me remember all the fun we had).  We did some pretty great things in 2013.  We got to travel out of the country for the first time (to 3 different countries), made some new friends, sadly lost touch with some dear friends & got back in touch with some old ones.  Val got her drivers license and Britt started her first year of high school. We had some pretty great adventures and spe

A good time

Yep anytime you get to spend the weekend at the lake is a good time.  My girls and I drove over to mom and dads place on the lake this past weekend (Stephen met us there on Saturday) I wanted to see them as it has been several weeks since the last time I had seen them.  Just wanted to share a few of the silly moments.  ~~~~> This is one of the little girls (forgive me Janae, I still can't tell them apart unless I'm looking directly at their faces.  I'm sorry.  I love them like crazy just can't tell them apart very well) <~~~~This is my girls making our purchase at the Dairy Deal.  This is a MUST when making the drive to Salina for any reason.  I have never had the food there but the ice cream products they offer are out of this world (unless you are a dork like Britt and order dippin' dots...those are just weird) Be careful when ordering a large...they are way too large (especially if you on a diet.  :) ~~~~> Here we are agai

Wonderful waste of time

 I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad.  I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work).  And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom.  Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such.  She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself.  So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along.  That girl made her whole hat.  She loves it and wears it everywhere already.  Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats.  They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company.  I mentioned to Val that maybe they could make some
