33!

me and my precious kids
(and 2 delicious cakes!)

I've never thought my age sounded like it was getting older till I hit 33. I guess it sorta seems like it's getting closer to being "middle aged". But, I know it's still fairly young...and I still feel young. Truthfully, I still think of myself as a 20-something year old. I have to remind myself that I've had 3 kids and been married for almost 10 years, so there's got to be some time used somewhere in there. Seriously, though, I feel richly blessed. I get to stay home with my kids EVERY day. I live in a nice, warm, cozy home. I am married to an extremely kind, generous, loving and incredibly handsome husband. So, 33 is just my badge of wonderful things I've been fortunate enough to experience. Last week, Rach and Trent were sick, so Nick and I weren't able to go out for my birthday. This week, although I had the lovely stomach bug early in the week, we've all been feeling much better. So, Nick and I got to go to dinner last night, by ourselves (thanks J&D)! It was a spur of the moment thing, but so nice to get to look at each other and talk, or not. :) We enjoyed a great meal at Longhorn's and then went to Sam's Club. We were only gone a couple of hours, but it was nice being alone! Today, after Rachel's last Upward game, mom, dad, Joe and Deb went with us to a yummy mexican restaurant for dinner. Then, we had 2 delicious cakes to eat (thanks, mom!) when we got home. I had a great birthday this year and appreciate all the wonderful presents and sentiments!!! Love you all!!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful parents!

2006

(sorry I couldn't find any pics of just y'all...
with 8 grandkids, one of them is always hangin' around y'all!) :)
38 years! WOW! What an incredible testimony in honoring your marriage covenant! You "take the good, take the bad, take them all and there you have"... 38 years of marriage! In a world where so many people (50% of marriages today??) end their marriage in divorce, instead you have loved, supported and treasured each other through thick and thin. Y'all have set a fabulous legacy for your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren...etc...to follow. Thank you for being parents who have set an example of love, honor and respect.


I love you both so much!


Happy 38th Anniversary mom and dad!
