Happy 7th Anniversary!

Today is our 7th anniversary, and I could not be happier with the man God blessed me with.
He is, among many things:
...patient with me. And believe me, I need a patient man!
...loving to me and our kids. I love watching him take care of them!
...an awesome friend. I've had bouts of loneliness since we've moved to Houston, and he always listens to me when I need him!
...a great pastor! If I had to pick anyone to listen to preach every Sunday for the rest of my life, it would be him.

He wrote a song for our wedding called "Hand in Hand." The chorus says:
"Hand in hand, together, in triumph or in pain;
Hand in hand together, 'cause this is our God's plan;
No matter what the journey holds, today we both begin.
Hand in Hand together, faithful to the end."

As a young, naieve 21 year old, I couldn't imagine the triumphs, and especially not the pain we would encounter in just 7 years. But I am thankful to say, that we have come out stronger, and still Hand in Hand.

Just for fun, here is a picture of our wedding day. I love you, babe!

One of my items was featured on Etsy!

My Item that was featured on Etsy.

ETSY!

Have you seen this website? It is amazing! Tons of handmade items that are so CUTE!

And now... my stuff is on there, too! I have been in a crafting frenzy for a while now, and decided maybe I could make a little cash while having fun. It is stressful sometimes being a stay at home mom with a college degree- I know it is what I am supposed to be doing for this season, but I am excited about the potential of a little income.

Check it out! Buy something! lol

Not Me Monday!

I did not eat WAY too much at Thanksgiving, as I am sure none of you did, either! :)

I did NOT sleep in at my parent's house while visiting and let my mom take care of my kids until I woke up. Nope, never.

My husband did NOT take my daughter out in public wearing her Cinderella princess dress-up high heels. He knows better than that! And he surely did not take her out 4 days later wearing only a sweater and tights.

I did NOT keep the sheets on my son's bed after his diaper leaked because I was just too tired to change them. No, I washed them the minute he woke up!

And I certainly and most assuredly did NOT sleep on the balcony of my parent's house with my sister, cousin, my son and my cousin's 3 sons. No, that would be too dangerous and just plain weird. And we wouldn't have stayed out there if it perhaps started raining. But definitely it would have been fun had we done it! This picture proves NOTHING!
