4th of July

Today is the 4th of the July! Though we did our firework celebration last night today is still a day of celebration. Our nieces, ages 10 and 7, are going to come spend he night with us tonight. Trust me---these two are definitely gonna keep us busy! My hope is that it will be warm enough and not rain so that they can swim when they are here----burn off some energy and then watch a movie later tonight.

We are in the midst of summer---and it is great! We have had a great season so far and I think it is going to get better and better!

Happy 4th to all!!

Love, S

15 years

It is hard to believe I have been out of high school for 15 years. What happened? How did I get to be in my 30's already?

Time and life happened. I am grateful that it has though still shocked that I am not that 18 year old anymore.

I saw a saying the other day that I thought was quite telling for my situation and will be more and more relatable every year:

Inside every old body is a young person shouting "What the hell happened"!

Though my body is not "old" yet I completely get this statement. I am happy the person on my inside is still young---I hope she stays that way.

Love, S

Looking Back

Today is my 11 year wedding anniversary.
I don't even feel like I am old enough to be married 11 years!
But I am
I married the boy I was head over heels for in high school
Though our years together have at times been shaky
I would not want anyone else
But that crazy, trouble-making boy from back then
Who has now grown into a great husband
To which I am as good of a wife as I can be
And as we celebrate tonight I plan to make an effort
To focus on just him, me and us
To enjoy each others company
To forget the problems we think we have
To let the night sweep us away
And to reminisce about all the life we have lived
Together......

And to spend time dreaming of the life we still have to live
Together..........

I love you Hubby!

Love, S
