A long long....long time ago

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted a convertible Mustang.  When I say a long time ago I mean before I ever got my drivers license and I'm old so we all know that was a long long...long time ago. 
But God had other plans for me.  I married at 20 and by the time I was 21 I had a baby and another at 25. So needless to say a mustang was not a practical car choice for us.  And well with 2 girls the budget wouldn't allow for one either.  But fast forward some years and I mean fast forward because it really does seem like yesterday that my girls were babies.  Life has changed so much, my babies are both nearly grown and though they are not out of the house they are however never really needing me to chauffeur them from here to there and back again.  I am no longer that softball equipment toting mom with girls, bats, balls & gloves spilling out of every car door.  It's for the most part just me going to work and having a little fun with the hubs and friends every now and then.  So the old truck was beginning to show it's years by not running like it should and despite hubs best efforts just wasn't cutting it anymore.  So after 20+ years of day dreaming of a fun car I finally got to get it.  My dream car.  It took a bit of fighting with myself and listening to everyone tell me I didn't want a mustang. But I finally got it.  It isn't brand spanking new but it i s new to me. Very nice and even though she isn't a v8 she can flat run.  (Safely and at the speed limit of course) ☺
I call her Judy, big booty Judy to be exact.  As I can fit 2 weeks worth of groceries in her trunk.  So even if she isn't all practical she is still useful in my book.  
And before I go I'll answer a few questions I have heard rumored about since buying my new car... Yes I am spoiled. No I am not having a "midlife crisis".  No I don't need an extra job to pay for it.  Yes I feel like I deserve it.  No I haven't been bragging about it I am still in shock that it is actually mine.  But with all that said I think each and everyone of us should own our dream car at some point or another in life.  And I thank God every day that Stephen and I are blessed with good jobs that allow for us to provide for our family and have some fun while doing it.   
Hope you all have a great week.

Thanks for reading.

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

My baby girl

 found this pic, not sure but I believe she was 3 April 12th (yes i know it is the 13th now)...This date in 1999 we welcomed into the world our sweet baby Britt.  She had a bit of a rough time in the first week, but wow look at her now.  She is 12.  Cant believe she is already almost a teen. (yuck)  We were so spoiled with Val that when Miss Britt came along she set our world on edge.  Thats right, she was quite a mess(not sleeping throught the night even to this day she sleep walks) But you wouldn't meet a sweeter, kinder girl.  She has the biggest heart.  Ive been thinking alot about her today with reason, it was after all her birthday.  She got to bring her horse to our pasture this week inlight of her day, so she didn't really seem to mind that I had to work and she had a softball game on her birthday.  As long as she gets to play with Ladybug alittle before the day is over.  She is now fast asleep in her bed(for now) most likley dreaming of her best friend(the hors
