My Facebook status pretty much sums it up:
The best thing in the world is being married to your best friend.
Happy Anniversary to my husband. You are my rock, my gravity, and the love of my life.
I LOVE YOU!
A Real Eye-Opener
October 25, 2011
Want a great way to learn something about the strength of your marriage? Take some adoption classes and see how you and your spouse would answer these questions:
What first attracted you to your spouse?
What do you like most about your spouse?
What do you think your spouse likes most about you?
What would you most like to change about your spouse?
What do you think your spouse would like to have you change about yourself?
What would make you want or consider a divorce?
How much time during the week do you and your spouse have alone together, and do you think this is enough time?
What are some ways you spend time together as a couple?
Describe how you show the following emotions to one another as a couple: Happiness, Love/Affection, Anger, Disappointment, Frustration, Sadness/Depression, and Stress
Try sitting down and having you and your spouse each answer these questions separately. Then share your answers with each other. It’s a real eye opener, or at least it was for us.

Happy 42nd Birthday to my husband, Mark.
My best friend…
My awesome, amazing husband…
My rock, my gravity, my reason for wanting to be a better person…
He is the best father I could ever hope to have for my children.
Happy 42nd Birthday, Mark! I love you!

My husband left last Friday for a fishing trip in Canada. Every year, he spends a week up there with my Dad and sometimes another guy or two. Usually, I’m fine when he’s gone and I have a good handle on everything going on.
But this year, this past week, I feel like I’m lost without him. I have been one big hot mess, constantly running in a hundred different directions.
Let’s give a re-cap of how this week has gone, shall we?
Since he left, I have:
1. sat through 17 high school softball games in SIX DIFFERENT TOWNS. Yes, you read that right. SEVENTEEN games, SIX towns.
2. Taken one of our new puppies to the vet, leaving $350 later with a CAST on her leg. (She broke her foot jumping off of the couch).
3. Rubber-banded a ziploc baggie over said puppy’s cast EVERY TIME SHE GOES OUTSIDE, because the cast can’t get wet. And of course, we’ve had rain.
4. Run youngest daughter around to two soccer practices– this all in between trying to catch those darn seventeen games. (Do I need to say again that we’re talking 6 towns?)
5. Been trying to find time to mow the yard. Hopefully today is the day.
6. to attend a surprise birthday for a friend tonight — let’s hope I get the lawn mowed first!
7. Worked full-time in addition to all this other stuff.
8. Spent every single night with 2 puppies, one dog, and one 10-year child old in my bed.
9. Still had the joy of keeping up on housework, laundry, bills, while still kinda managing to squeeze a few hours of sleep in each night.
Today is the day. Or actually, I should say tonight is the night.
He’s coming home.
Mark, I miss yo face.

31 Days, Day 2.
March 2, 2011
Day 2: The person (or people) that make your world go round.
My husband, Mark, is my rock. He is my center, he keeps me grounded. He is the reason I breathe. He has provided me with a wonderful family, and is the most amazing father, stepfather and husband I could ever ask for. He is the first person I think of every morning when I wake up, and the last person I think of when I fall asleep at night. This month, I will celebrate 11 years of marriage to this amazing man, and am thankful for every day, every hour, every minute, and every second he has been in my life.
