Happy Anniversary!! To Me!!

Jeff and I are celebrating 9 years of marriage today. I cannot believe how fast time flies.

So if any of you are interested (or not) I am gonna tell you our little love story LOL. I met Jeff 12 years ago when I was 18. Yes I know I was young. He started working for the phone company out here the same time as my mom did. All I knew is that he was fresh out of college and drove a porsche. Come on what teenage girl ins't going to be wishing for a date? LOL. Now you are probably thinking that my mom set us up? Nope not my mom. Another lady that worked with him knew that my mom had a daughter and that Jeff was single. SO she orchestrated the whole thing. He called me that same week (with mom's permission of course) We talked for hours. Our parents hated it because we lived far enough away from each other that the 3 hour phone calls were long distance! By our third date he brought me to his grandmothers 70th birthday party. LOL Not your typically date. I loved that his family was such an important part of his life. We have been together ever since. Now I am not saying we have a perfect marriage by any means. I mean does anyone really have a "perfect" marriage? We have found what works for us. That's all I can ask for. Love you Jeff.

Here is a pic from our wedding. Geez we were so young!



And this is us about a month ago


Happy Thursday everyone!

Happy Wednesday and New Contest @Crop Addict

Halfway thru the week already. Helps it was a short week for me at work anyways. Did you NKOTB fans get your CD yesterday? I did. Woke up extra early before work so that I would have enough time to download and burn it before I had to leave. Have you seen their new video ?? --> SINGLE Hot Damn! No laughing at me!! I like feeling like I am 13 again LOL.


Ok on to Contest Info. We are having a Dreamstreet LO Contest at Crop Addict Come on over and enter. The winner will receive some Dreamstreet goodies. Here are a couple projects that I made with yummy Dreamstreet papers





On another note. I just got done reading the rough draft of Midnight Sun. I am so sad that right now SM does not plan to finish this story. I hope that one day maybe she will change her mind. I loved reading from Edwards perspective. To whomever made the horrible choice to publish online the rough draft thank you for damaging the magic that is Twilight. Millions of fans are now going to be heartbroken because of your error in judgement.

Ok enough of that I am gonna go watch my boys again ^^^^ :)

Also today was Jamie's first day back at Preschool. So I will be sure to post pics of my little sweetie this week too. She was so excited, she got up extra early so mom could do her hair before I had to go to work. She had a new little outfit that she couldn't wait to show her teachers. Such a girly girl. I hope you all had a great labor day weekend. I went to Lake Tahoe with my friend Charissa. We took our little girls and scrapped all weekend! Thanks Charissa I had a blast this weekend!

My Little 2nd Grader

Ok well he isn't so little anymore. Jeffrey started 2nd Grade yesterday. I think he was more excited than he was letting on. The poor kid got a little sun burned the day before. He was swimming all afternoon and Jeff didn't reapply sunscreen to Jeffrey after he had been in the pool for awhile (Jeff aka Dad, Jeffrey aka Son) Just in case there was any confusion going on LOL. So anyways his eyes were a little puffy. Oh well I guess I should be happy that I got a pic of him at all. I was already on my way to work by the time the bus came.



I also was able to get some scrappy time in over the weekend. Tina over at CMK had challenged us to scrap a transparency. I had never done that and knew I had some around my scrap room waiting to be used. So here is what I came up with. Everything is Pink Paislee Spring Fling Line.



And I finally dug into my Pink Paislee Pop Fashion. I have been afraid to use it because I didn't want to ruin it. I love this line so much I might just hoard it LOL. But I did manage to make a LO. This is of me and Steph at my 30th Bday that she threw me. A surprise Martini Party



Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are all having a great week.

A little entertainment for you

Jamie was in a performing mood the other night. Pretty sad when a 4yo is singing about heartbreak LOL

The Never-ending Game!

Seriously! Ok so I posted on Tuesday about how I was taking my son to go see a ballgame. Yea well the game lasted 14 innings! YIKES! I told him when it hit the top of the 12th that we had to go home. It was after 10pm already and we live about 45 minutes from the ballpark. Mommy had to work the next day. Let me tell you my butt was D-R-A-G-G-I-N-G all day yesterday. It was so worth it though. My son had a great time hanging out with mom. He thanked me as he went to bed for a fun night. We had awesome seats too. I had received free tickets for a fundraiser that I had organized for my sorority. They were good for ANY seat in the house. We could have sat right behind home plate but Jeffrey wanted to be on the side. Always trying to find ways to catch a fly ball LOL. So we ended up 5 rows up from first base. Not bad for FREE seats LOL. Here is a pic of the two of us. Sorry it's blurry. It came off my phone.

I see I have been tagged too. SO I will do that post later. Thanks Marti!!

I can't concentrate right now

I am tired, but that is my fault for staying up too late. I now have a headache. I feel like it is from a combo of things, tired eyes, allergies and maybe lack of caffeine. Employers really should let you take naps during work. You would think since I work for a Learning hospital that they would be forward thinkers in that respect. But alas no nappies for me. LOL. Sorry no exciting pics to share today. I am taking Jeffrey to see the Rivercats tonight when I get off work. For those who don't live near me they are the Minor League team affiliated with the Oakland A's. You all know how obsessed my son is with baseball. He is literally walking baseball encyclopedia right now. So tonight should be good times LOL. It's one last Mommy and Jeffrey day before he starts school next week. Well feels like the 3 advil I took are kicking in. Maybe it's time to get back to work! TTYL!
