Surprise in the mail!

As I posted about in an earlier post, I signed up to do a Secret Ornament Swap on Abbilyeverafter. Well, on Saturday I checked the mail and voila' a present for me!!! :) I wasn't expecting it so early, so it was quite a surprise! She is on the ball!! :)



I received the cutest silver bell with 2008 engraved on it from Jan over at The Prytz Family. It is so pretty, I love it! And the kids especially get a kick out of ringing the bell. LOL :) Thank you Jan for the beautiful ornament!!

The ornament for my secret swap partner is purchased and ready to be wrapped. It should be in the mail no later then Monday! I hope she likes it. I've been reading her blog and she is a HOOT!!! ;)

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Seriously, my sister-in-law bought me this book for my birthday and when I read that it was about vampires I was like, "Really? Are you kidding me"? But, she and many many others convinced me it was worth reading. I am now more then halfway through book 4. It has been SO good. I cannot wait until Friday. It's going to be crazy. I'm thinking maybe I should buy my tickets online. Hmmmmm......

12 Years and counting.....

12 years ago today I married my best friend. My husband is a man that always makes me feel so special. I feel lucky everyday to have him in my life. I can't believe that it's been 12 years. We have 2 beautiful children that have added such joy to our lives because two people fell in love.


Here is what the card read that B gave me:

On Our Anniversary

"In your voice, I hear it.
In your smile, I see it.In your touch, I feel it...love."

One look at you is all it takes
for me to fall in love all over again.

One kiss from you is all it takes
to show me how perfect
we are for each other.

One touch from you is all it takes
to make me forget the rest of the world.
Troubles and cares seem to vanish
when we hold each other close.

You make me feel as if I've been given
one of the most precious gifts
life has to offer-
to love and be loved by you...

Being with you,
looking into your eyes,
holding your hand, touching your cheek
are all it takes to convince me,
now and forever,
that love was invented
just for us.


I love you Baby, thanks for being exactly who you are today and always!! XOXO

Happy Halloween!

So we had a party planned at our house for Halloween tonight. Guests included, friends, family and neighbors. Lots-o-kids!!! It was fun, we started off with pizza, but of course the kids barely ate as they couldn't wait to hit the pavement and go get all the treats!

Christmas Ornament Exchange

I've joined in on the fun of a secret ornament exchange. Check it out over at Abbilyeverafter to join in on the fun. She did this last year and everyone loved it, so she's doing it again this year. As of now there is about 40 participants. Should be fun!
