Yesterday (February 7, 2011) Troy and I celebrated 7 years of Marriage. It's hard to believe WOW 7, yeah to some it doesnt seem like a long time...but to me every year is even longer, but yet goes by even faster!! Wonder if it's because of the kids, ha ha ha.
Troy and I dropped the kids off to moms, then went on to the Hickory Grille for a nice quiet enjoyable dinner! We even had deep fried pickles for appetizer, salad, bread, we both decided on chicken and we split dessert. Of course you know I HAD to have a coupon. Troy got 2 emails from the Springfield line. One was for a free appetizer for our anniversary and the other was for a free dessert for his birthday, which is Feb 16. We had gotten a very nice gift from a friend, a gift card and only ended up paying $16.42 for our nice quiet enjoyable dinner!!!! YAY me!!!
Afterwards we gased up the car, Troy got cappicino and decided to call it a night, picked up the kids and that was that. Some anniversaries I think are meant to be uneventful. We'd like to go to Las Vegas for our tenth, which would be 2014. Owen will be 8 and Lydia 6. I think they'd do alright with someone else for a few days, Grammie most likely. :-)
We didn't have the weather we had 7 yrs ago, but it was still miserable out there. Ive decided after all the hassle with boots, coats, hats and gloves.....Im starting to get ready for Spring. I just don't like the mud and busyiness it brings for our family.
Well enough rambling...here's to yet another year of marriage......ups and downs..but we made a vow in front of God, to ourselves, friends and family that we'd be together til Death Do Us PART! AMEN!
Happy Anniversary, Troy!!!!

Lydia and my plant......
Yesterday was the first day of Lydia and I's Mommy & Me class together. She was VERY excited to be "going to school", see all the girls to play with and she LOVED playing with shaving cream...good old fashioned shave cream. She was kind of upset when we stopped and had to clean up....but then I told her it was snack time. ha ha That's my girl.
I have great news to announce....my plant that Ive had since Mother's Day 2010 is sprouting it's SECOND FLOWER!!!! I am so excited. I told myself Id try this plant and then Id try an African Voilet. I am so excited. I change the plants location every month so it gets different lighting, but it seems to be seriously doing VERY awesome on top of our TV!!!
Lydia's been having her own sense of fashion lately. I don't allow her to wear what she wants unless I approve when we're going in public, but at home I dont really care. Here are 2 photos of "get ups" she's sported this past week!! She seriously cracks me up!

20 of my favorite things.....
20 OF MY FAVORITE THINGS..... (thanks Susan for the idea)
After ready a classmates blog of her 20 favorite things, it really calmed me down as I am having a HORRIBLE Monday! Poor Monday really gets a wrap and I feel bad. But MONDAY get the hell outta the way!!! Reading her blog made me realize I really need to try hard not to sweat the small stuff and feel blessed with what I have.
1. My favorite season is FALL! I love the colors, the smells, September 16 is my 30th Birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving,etc. EVERYTHING about FALL).
2. The way my son tells me a story. It's the cutest thing ever and I cannot even describe it! The look on his face, the sound of his voice, the way each sentence stops abruptly and the next begins. And you can't interrupt...because then he has to start over again.
3. The way my daughter looks when she's wearing a pony tail. It's just the cutest thing every, the thing I could not wait to see when I knew September 2007 that we were having a BABY GIRL! (as sge==== she climbs on my lap as I type this at 952pm when she fell asleep in my arms at 730pm)
4. The sound the glass bottle Lipton iced tea pops when you open it.
5. The taste of homemade good cooking mother-in-law food, mom's chili, lasagna and steak in bag.
6. I'm starting to like the color purple more than blue. Like a medium to light shade of purple. And the purple of the girls dresses in our wedding.
7. I like doing laundry-it's a sense of accomplishment! I love the smell of fresh sheets after being on the clothes line all day.....and not when my father-in-law aromatizes the neighborhood. ha ha had to throw that in there.
8. A shower. ALONE!!!!
9. Putting on sneakers after wearing dress shoes or sandals all day.
10. Candles burning during the evening while we are home.
11. Any day spent as a family.
12. Crafting. I love making cute stuff, homemade cards, projects,etc.
13. I like driving, but don't like driving at night.
14. My favorite movie series, believe it or not was even before kids....Toy Story!!!
15. My favorite flowers are: Daisies, pink/white/yellow roses (don't like red at all).
16. My favorite thing about myself are my eyes!
17. I like wearing bummy clothes around the house.
18. I like to have picnics in the field during summer months w/the kids and Troy.
19. I love to be organized, or what I think is organized. I like the way it makes me feel.
20. WOW....my favorite thing in the whole world is my husband hugging me without being prompted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
