34, 34, 34. Wow. Didn't see this coming. When planning my life at 18, I didn't plan past 25. I'm not sure why, but I am sure glad that I made it past that! I'm also kinda glad I didn't plan above that. I couldn't have planned a life like this. I have a great husband, a wonderful son with a heart of gold, and a beautiful little girl who I look forward to getting to know as she grows. It's amazing!
They (who ever "they" are) say that life isn't measured by how many breaths we take, but how many take our breath away. I was never a big fan of that quote and I'm an avid quote collector. But, last night, I realized it was right. After opening my birthday gifts (everything I asked for-- sun visor, mandolin slicer, cakepop maker, watch, and other kitchen stuff (Hooray!)), Josh took me to Eez for dinner and TCBY for dessert. We had the best time! Half a martini and I was 3 sheets to the wind (just like old times!) and we had some awesome conversation. Well, I think we did... I was a little loopy, after all. Anyway, I felt like we were on our first date! It was so great! No kids, no cell phones, constant conversation and hand-holding. Those were moments that took my breath away. Hanging out with my husband really made that birthday truly special. It had to have been the best. God has blessed me sooo much! My cup runneth over!
You reach a certain age where the stuff doesn't matter. I'm totally there...

Main Squeeze Monday
Ok... so I totally forgot about Main Squeeze Monday! Got a lot of catching up to do, I guess!
Why I Love My Hubby
1. He makes awesome chili! Seriously! You should definitely try it some time! As a matter of fact, come on over. We have some leftovers in the fridge right now. ;)
2. (Get ready... this is a big one...) He makes a real effort to compromise. When we bicker and have to leave the room to keep from kicking each other in the shins, he really tries to compromise with me so there is a middle ground. (Well, as close to the middle as either one of us are willing to get.)
3. He has the greatest laugh. Sometimes when he tells a dumb joke or thinks something is funny that seems stupid to me, I laugh because he laughs and it's down-right cute.
4. He plays He-Man with our son. Josh lets him beat him with his Nerf sword while trying to teach him to play fair. It's really funny!
5. He still has his Bible from when he was a kid. He keeps treasures in it, which I think is really neat. It sits on or near his nightstand in arms' reach. And, he can pretty much answer all of my questions about it.
6. ** Bonus: I love to watch him walk away... he has the greatest butt. ;)

Heard Something FUNNY the Other Day...
K, first let me start off by saying that it's been a while since I have been on this blogspot thing! I guess you guys need some updating! If you are on my facebook, the pictures I have on here are already posted on there so these are repeats. Sorry about that, but when I get a cute picture, I want the world to see it! Ha!
Heard something funny the other day...
My friend Angel and I were discussing another friend. I was commenting on how perfect she always seemed-- so cute and eloquent! It seems like she has got. it. together! Angel told me that that's what I seem like, too! WHUT! SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I laughed at that comment, I tell ya! I have never heard such craziness! I spend so much of my day having to freeze in the middle of the kitchen with my hands on my head trying to remember which room I was heading to and what I was supposed to do when I got there! Never in a million years would I have thought I was considered a "have it together" kind of gal! Thanks, Angel! You made me feel great (even if you were fibbing a tiny bit. :) ) Now I try harder to be that "have it together" kind of gal!
Lesson learned: Stop "callin' them as ya see 'em" and start calling them as you WANT to see them. Praise a little more and you may begin to get what you want. I am thinking about my toddler here. If I praise him more, he may quit that whining crap and actually act a tiny bit sane and patient. This is a lesson I was taught years ago but forget to practice some times.
Here are some updated pics of my Sweet Girl and her big brother!
