ANNIVERSARY YEAH.......

Today is our anniversary and I would LOVE to say that we've been all lovey dovey, but for some reason we've been at each other's throats. LOL Is it a way to remind us that even though we fight we have managed to stick it out for the past 8 years?

Hubby and I have been married for 8 years and have been together for nine. It's been a blessing having him in my life, I'm not going to say that there haven't been ups and downs and fights, and screaming etc....but we do find our way back to each other and we work hard at staying together. After all, it's a MARRIAGE!!! When I think of the word marriage, I always think of carriage....maybe because it's a constant effort and struggle to keep it moving forward.

Curt is the type of father and husband that everyone wishes for. He's there when I need him, he makes me laugh until my sides hurt, he constantly asks me "what do you need me to do help you with?" and one minute he is the stern, strict father and the next he is acting like one of their best friends.....rolling around on the floor, playing tag, wrestling, jumping on the trampoline and acting goofy.

So Curt, I want you to know that even though it's been hard at times, I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else. I love you with all my heart and I can't wait to butt heads again and keep going for another 80 years. LOL


With that said, what do you think of my new design? I know, I know, you're probably sick and tired of seeing me change it, but I get bored easily. I wanted something simple again and since my favorite color is pink, I thought this would be perfect.

Just this morning I was sitting here messing with the template and then got bored (HA! big surprise there), and decided to go browse through all the Blogger blogs. I just kept hitting Next Blog, on the navigation bar and I was surprised at the diversity of blogs, one minute I was in Sweden and then the next I was in Croatia, Brazil, Oklahoma, Georgia, Japan, New Zealand etc. It's just so much fun visiting all the different cultures and seeing their pictures, though I have to tell you some of them I really couldn't understand a single word posted.........I especially like the Asian ones that have just ????????? LOL

You're probably waiting for me to tell you what we're doing today. Would you be disappointed if I said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?!?!?! We're just hanging out, and I know usually anniversaries are supposed to be celebrated with an intimate dinner, or an overnight stay at a cozy romantic hotel. I also could tell you that we don't like that kind of stuff, but I'd be lying and you would see right through me. The reason though is that, first, we don't have any family nearby to watch the kids while we whisk ourselves to some secret rendezvous (don't you just like how I make it sound all exciting lol)......the second reason would be that we don't put too much importance into things like that, the fact that we're still together and love each other, is enough for us, plus we are the kind of parents that love being with our children, so staying home with them is just fine with us :)

We do need to stop by the library....but I supposed showing up in a sexy dress and high heels would be looked down on??? And I guess bringing a bottle of champagne too would just be inapproriate??? Yeah, I thought so. Oh well, I tried LOL
They do say "It's the thought that counts" right?!?!?!

I was exhausted yesterday, I didn't realize that having family visiting could be so draining. This is the thing though, I didn't feel it when they were here, we had a blast, would stay up late playing games and laughing etc. Think my body was getting used to that routine, then they left and all of a sudden I was fighting to keep my eyes open.
I got into bed at 7 pm.......ahhhhhhh it felt heavenly, but then suddenly I wasn't tired anymore, I wanted to watch tv, so seeing as there was nothing interesting on, I popped in one of my Netflix movies "Victoria and Albert", the story of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. I really enjoyed the movie, although I was quite annoyed to realize it's a 2 DVD movie and I had only the first part LOL

Well I'm being called upon, so I guess I better hop on out of here and go with the family. I'll be back later to take my Blog Drive, won't be my morning one, let's just call it the "Afternoon Blog Drive" today, shall we???

Have a wonderful saturday everyone,
