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!!!
