September 16, 2011

I cannot believe how quickly five years has passed. I am blessed beyond measure to have this man to share life with, he makes every day incredible. Our life together has never been easy or without trials, we have weathered a lot of storms together; and I wouldn't trade a single day. I cannot wait to see how the next 5, 10, 20 years play out. Love you forever, and ever, amen.

Trains!

My sweet husby had a birthday on Friday and as part of his "day of fun" we went to Cheekwood to see the Trains exhibit!



This was our first time to visit Cheekwood, and we loved all of the gardens and the museum inside the old mansion. I definitely recommend it as a fun date place or family outing!



Thomas was even there! Liam is still too small to enjoy trains, but luckily Ryan and I were enamored by this super fun exhibit!

Baby Daddy

Happy Father's Day!




To the sweetest...




Silliest...




Snuggliest...




Most loving daddy in all the land. I am so blessed to watch you cherish and care for our son. I couldn't ask for a better role model for him. We are both so thankful, so blessed, so happy to have you as the papa!

My First Mother's Day

Despite working a full day on Sunday, I had a truly wonderful first mother's day!




All three of my boys spoiled me too much!




Candy from my first baby, Gus.




Vintage book from the human baby that truly made me a mommy, Liam.




Pearls from my husby baby, Ryan.

We all got in some good snuggles on the couch and Ryan made homemade chicken noodle soup for supper.

I am so very thankful for my sweet family as well as the two lovely momma's that raised me and my husby. Hope you all had great days!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I am spending the day wishing my sweet husband the most happiest birthday of all!  He is 27 years old today and I love him dearly!  

all you need is...LOVE

 The Excellence of Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothings.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.  For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.  When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.  But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I Corinthians 13:1-13

Husby,

I love you now, I will love you always.  

You are my perfect match in every way.

um, hi...

yup, i did it again. stopped blogging for months at a time. oh well, it's my blog and i'll do what i want with it! :)

i'm not even going to try to catch up the past four months. i will just start from here and see where it goes.

ryan is in his second semester of grad school and i am so proud of all that he has accomplished! i have a smarty little husby! and he's cute too!

little gus gus has turned into a sweet little dog, thanks in part to a little ball slashing. ;) he likes to snuggle, but will still growl if the snuggling is not his idea.

i am working and working and working. and spending my free time watching the food network and putting off organizing/unpacking from our latest move.

yes, you read that right...we moved again! i think we are up to 7 moves now since getting hitched 9/2006. we found a cute little loft apartment that we are liking a lot. we also got an incredible deal on the rent and locked in to an 18 month lease. so, we will be here for sure until june 2011. then, hopefully in a more permanent situation. once we get everything unpacked and decorated i will post pictures for a virtual tour.

that's all for now, i'll be back!

edit...on moving.

so, my husband is amazing... he came home to see me and we spent one entire day moving heavy junk to the storage unit. and by "we" i mean he. yup, he did the heavy lifting. while i tried to explain that i have very poor hand strength, and, possibly arthritis. it is hereditary. so, i wasn't lying. at all. and believe it or not, despite the fact that it was still moving, we had a blast! granted, we have a blast anytime we are in the same city as one another. but still, ryan makes moving fun. the end.
