What I have been up too.....

Flowers are a big thing for me. I love planting in the Spring and that is what I have been doing.
I have a 3 Silver Mound bushes growing now.
I believe these are Crocus
And of course a pretty yellow daffodil. But these are only a couple of the many I have planted this year.

Wish Spring would get here!

I am soooo tired of the white stuff. Even though it is beautiful outside, all white and crisp, I still am wishing for the blossom of Spring. We start to get a hint of it and then the snow and cold come once again. I know it is just around the corner. That fresh burst of sunshine and warmth that says here I am.
We have had a bit of illness around here the past week. Jeremiah got it last Sunday and was home all week. Finally on Friday afternoon he started acting more himself, bouncing around and talking a mile a minute. He had been so sick that all he wanted to do was lay on the couch sleeping or watching TV, no games, not a lot of talking or asking to do things just laying around. Today is his first day back and he is ready to go. He even got most of his makeup homework done over the weekend.
Well I am off. This was just a quick post to pass the time this morning. James left early to plow snow and now it is time for us to head to school. Have a great day all!!!

What a wonderful life!

Today was back to work...but the weekend was wonderful. We had a three day weekend for Valentine's Day. What could be better than that? Oh....well......let me tell you!! We had fun on Friday night with family. We played Rock Band and just enjoyed each others company. Then Saturday morning about 10:00 we took Jeremiah to Grandma Nita's and he spent all day Saturday, Saturday night and most of the day Sunday there. He had his cousins over for a Valentine's Party at Grandma's. While he was there, it gave James and I some time for ourselves. That just doesn't happen very often. We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings (one of James favorites) then we just kicked around town checking out various stores. Did a little shopping at Wal Mart and came home for a bit before heading out again to have supper. We ended up not going where we were going to because it was much to long a wait. So my sweetheart and I had a little bite at Taco Bell!!! It was a lot of fun. Then home and played RB together. Sunday we slept in and missed church but boy was it nice to sleep in. Had a bite to eat on our way to Best Buy to get a second guitar for RB. Then we came home and jammed out. We even had a tug-o-war or contest where you play against each other.
All in all a very RELAXING weekend. James had to work yesterday but Jeremiah and I enjoyed some down time. Well HE enjoyed some down time. I had to get tax stuff ready to go, as I have an appointment on Friday.
So that is what a wonderful life I have had for the past couple of days!!! MMmmmmm...

8 Wonderful Years!

Well today is our anniversary. I have been married to this wonderful, handsome man for 8 years. It gets me to thinking and remembering. Man, we have really been through a lot of things in a short time. We don't get to spend today together as he is at a school out of town for work. This is only the second time in 8 years that we have missed. The first one we missed was 4 years ago when our grandson was born. I was in Washington with my daughter and he was here working. Poor guy missed out!! :) In August of this year, it will be 9 years since our first date. I'll always remember seeing him that night and thinking "Whoa! I am so in trouble here". He was McDreamy, McSteamy and McYummy(my word) all in one. I think I fell in love right then but waited a little while to let him know. It is always funny when we talk about that night because he says the same thing. We weren't out to get in a serious relationship, rather we just wanted a friendship. We had known each other years before and had both just lost spouses, his to divorce, mine to cancer. We were just hoping to have someone to spend time with and talk to. Well we got that and so much more.
Anyway, I am so totally happy to have the man that I do. He is awesome!!
Happy Anniversary, James.....I love my man!!!

Just a little blurb

Things are going okay here. My little sis had gallbladder surgery yesterday and she is doing well with it. Just has to take it easy for about a week. Good luck with that. She is a powerhouse. Loves to be busy, but seems to be doing what she is suppose to for now.
James and my anniversary is Tuesday. It will be 8 years for us. Sometimes it feels longer, sometimes not so much. I love him more today than I did all those years ago and I just keep learning more about him. Guess that is the way it should be. Keeps us on our toes and things never get dull or old.
Jeremiah got his report card and is doing awesome. We need to work on his handwriting but nothing major there. Just needs to slow down and write neater. His teacher loves him and thinks he is a sweetheart. I think so too!! :)
Tomorrow is my grandsons Birthday! He will be 4 years old! Happy Birthday Aidyn!!!! Papa and Grandma love you. So does Uncle Jeremiah!!! Have a great day!! MWAH!! xoxo
Had to do that. Hope his mama shows him. LOL
Well this is just a blurb so will try to come back later to write more. Have a great weekend all!

Ok...Yeah.... I know.....

While I have good intentions about blogging, my follow through is pretty bad. Yes, it has been over 2 months since my last post. Yes, I have been on my computer numerous times a day in the past 2 months. Yeah, I know, pretty lame. I have no real excuse. I just like to play games and read other peoples blogs. That seems to be a bit more important sometimes.
We really have gotten into the habit of playing games and chatting with family and friends on Facebook. It is really pretty sad when you think about it. Other than my kids our family now lives within a 40 mile radius of us. We do get together and have Friday night game night. We have each other over for meals and we see each other at church or school. Still...there is just something about going to Yoville and visiting each others virtual homes.
What a Sad, Sad life we have. LOL
There has been so much that has happened in the past months that I won't go into total detail, but will begin with just a few tidbits.

1. My BIL, Don, and his wife, Elizabeth and their two children moved here from Florida arriving on Thanksgiving Day. Truly a blessing.

2. James and I had 2 wonderful weeks off over the Christmas and New Year's Holidays. Totally enjoyed spending time together as a family.

3. Work is work. I enjoy it but sometimes wish I understood what I need to be doing or maybe just that I was better equipped for the job I have.

4. Jeremiah will be 7 in March and I am just boggled by how much he is growing. He looks so much like his dad and yet I see a lot of his big brother, Levi, in him. That's scary!! (love ya Levi)

5. The King and Queen of the house spoiled themselves after Christmas (we didn't buy ANYTHING for ourselves at Christmas) and we are now the excited owners of a PS3 system and Rock Band 2. It is a blast and the whole family can play if they want to. We really have enjoyed it.

Well at this point that about sums up the past 2 months. I haven't seen a lot of my side of the family as we have been spending extra time with James' side. It is a lot of fun and I know as Don and Elizabeth make their home here things will even out and we will spend time with ALL of our family! It has been a real blessing having them here. Please pray that Don finds a full time position soon that is God's chosen place for him.

Have fun all and I hope to post again soon!! LOL Like maybe a month instead of two!!!
