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.

My goodness we look too young to be newly weds :)

Throwback Thursday

Let me just start by saying straight out of the gate that I absolutely hate to be on the front side of any camera much less my own. Now it isn't that I don't enjoy being in the moment, I do. I just enjoy taking the pictures instead of being in them if that makes any sense at all. With that said I'm glad I was on the front side of this camera this day. I suppose all little girls dream of growing up, getting married and having babies. I know when I was a little girl my friends and i would play house, we would more less mark of sections of the room as mine and theirs these sections would be my house or her house. we'd have baby dolls name them fun names. We had fun. I don't know that I ever really thought about actually having children when I grew up. And as I got older I remember that I didn't even want to get married when I grew up much less have any kids. But we all grow up. And that guy comes along t...

Super sweet scrub

So the picture isn't the best, you're not looking at a wonderful back drop or perfectly packaged product for this jar of sugar scrub. But what you are looking at is a simply wonderful homemade sugar body scrub. I am guilty of spending more than my share of time on the ever growing in popularity website craze "Pinterest" just looking and pinning, pinning, pinning. I asked myself some time last week "what is the point in this if I don't try some of the things I am pinning." So yesterday I found this recipe for a sugar body scrub, it helps take off dry dead skin and it hydrates as well. Now I know we haven't been hit with a bad winter (yet) but the air has been terribly dry and my skin is really suffering all dry and itchy. My hands have gotten so bad that they were starting to crack and bleed around my cuticles. So I made this scrub last night before taking my shower. Here is what I did: Mix 1/3 cup of each in a bowl Brown sugar Regular...

A new year

Ugh! I have started and deleted this blog entry more times than I care to admit. :) I have so many things floating around in my mind that I want to write about that I keep jumbling them all up on the page and they are not making sense to me so I am sure you will not have a clue what I am saying...babble, babble, babble... Anyway maybe this one will work for us all. The new year. 2012 Wow. I am getting so old, I don't ever recall thinking this far in to the future when I was a kid except maybe when I watched movies with flying cars and hoovering skate boards and such thinking it would be neat to have a flying car. but here we are still living a pretty normal life without all that stuff. I chuckle a little when I think of all the things I enjoy, these things certainly don't "fit" the year 2012 as the movie writers would write it. Because I don't want a flying car, I think it would be fun to ride a horse everywhere or have a covered w...
