ONE MORE WEEK!

One more week...

One more week and we will be in WA state! I am SO incredibly excited! 10 whole days of being around family (which makes me miss my own very much)!!! Being a military family, you end up being alone a lot more often than not. It does wear on you after a while, but you adapt. When you get to go home, you are SO much more appreciative for the things you go without for so long.

On a side note, has anyone ever flown with a two/three year old? What sort of things should we know, aside of the obvious? We will be bringing our portable DVD player, crayons and colorbooks, and snacks. Anyone else have a brilliant idea to keep him occupied?

Rain, rain, go away...

It has been raining in OK a lot lately. Not nearly as much as last year around this time (knock on wood) but still a lot. Big storms roll through and scare the ever-living out of Matthew. Caught a few pictures of Matthew and Daddy getting the mail for me on a rainy day.

3rd Anniversary!

We have made it 3 years! WOO HOO! Yesterday was our 3rd wedding anniversary. Rich bought me the most amazing earrings. I will post a picture of them soon. I got him a watch he had been eyeing and he loves it (shows it off to everyone to the point of annoyance). He even has Matthew calling it "Daddy's bling". (The picture above was taken on May 12, 2005. The evening before our wedding. Rich's Mom and all of her sisters had come down to Tampa to celebrate with us. We all had dinner and drinks (well everyone but me) and just hung out. )

New Magazines!

I LOVE getting new magazines in the mail. More inspiration and sweet ideas! LOVE magazine day! CK and Papercrafts came in the mail yesterday. This would have to be one of my main goals now. I would love to be published in CK!

Parting thoughts:

Life is tough. Plain and simple. I honestly believe, though, that if we work together and support one another, everything does work out. Just need to keep pushing and stop focusing on what is not there and maintain what is.

Smile. Love. And Live.
