21st Wedding Anniversary!

Today is our 21st Wedding Anniversary. As each year passes, I am more and more in love with him. I can't imagine a better person to spend my life with. God truly knew what he was doing when he put us together.



I love you Big D with all my heart and I always hope you know how much I appreciate everything you do for our family!

Until next time.....

Saturday Photo Hunter - Soft

This week's photo hunt is "soft". I couldn't think of anything softer than our new addition to our family, Oliver. We rescued Oliver from the Humane Society a couple weeks ago. I couldn't resist his beautiful blue eyes. This picture doesn't capture how beautiful his blue eyes are! He is 1 1/2 years old. Oliver is a Himalayan. He is the sweetest cat. Oh and did I tell you how beautiful his blue eyes are??? LOL! I can't imagine why anyone would want to get rid of him!

Until next time.....

Saturday Photo Hunter - Antique

This weeks photo hunt is "Antique". I don't have a lot of antiques, but I do have this beautiful antique table and hutch. It is over 30 years old and still in great shape. This dining room set was my parents. I remember the day that it was delivered. I was 9 years old. I spent many many hours doing homework and special projects on this table. And so have my children.

Until next time.....

God is good!!! Peanut Butter Recall

This morning as I was talking to Big D, he told me NOT to eat the peanut butter on the counter because there had been a recall on the news. It was linked with a Samonella outbreak. 39 people have been effected. I am so thankful that God had his hand on me because I have ate some of that peanut butter several times since I have bought it. I noticed a few times I havent felt all too well, but just figured it was the cold I had at the time. So to all my blogging friend, if you have a jar of Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter with the starting number 2111, throw it away!!

Until next time.....

They did it!!!!!

Congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts!! Woo hoo!! Being an Indiana girl, I was THRILLED to see them win! We had a little family Superbowl party. This is our spread. Pizzas, nachos, breadsticks, hotwings, etc....




As you can see by all this food, Big D and I blew our diet BIG TIME!

I can't leave this post without sharing a bet I had going with my nephew, Kevin. He is a huge Bears fan. So our bet was, if our team lost, we had to take a picture saying the opposing team was number 1 and post the picture on myspace for 2 months! Here is the picture:





He was a good sport! He took the loss like a trooper!!

***Kevin, Thanks for such a fun night watching the Superbowl across the miles together. It will be one I will NEVER forget! Love ya tons!***

Just a group of dancers


Cheryl Burke and Drew Lachey

Saturday Photo Hunt - Wild

These are a pictures of my 2 "Wild" boys! Computer Geek (pictured right above) asked for Airsoft guns for Christmas. At first, I was really against the idea until I educated myself about it. So Big D and I got both Computer Geek and Football Star a set of these guns. If you do not know what Airsoft guns are, they are guns that shoot little plastic bb's. You shoot each other kind of like paintball, but without ALL the mess. We had 70 degree weather after Christmas. So the 4 of us made the boys a shooting range for them in the back of our property. You sure learn alot living with 3 men! LOL!

Until next time.....

Saturday Photo Hunters - Technology

Hi, I am Lightseeker and I am a Tech Junkie! But I can stop anytime I want. RIGHT! Who am I kidding?!?! I absolutely love my tech toys! I could not live without my laptop or my cell phone! My jump drive is my best friend for work. I received the webcam and digital camera for Christmas. Big D and I have always shared a digital camera, but when he travels it needs it for work, so I got one for Christmas and I LOVE IT! Since Big D travels so much, for Christmas one of his gifts was 2 webcams (one for him and one for me), so we could stay in touch. Kind of a sneaky way to get a new tech toy, but he loved it!

Until next time.....

Main Course
Do you believe in UFOs/aliens/etc.? Why or why not?
Back in the 70's, when it was a popular subject and I was young, I would say I might have to some degree. But now that I am older, I don't believe in aliens or UFOs.

Dessert
What color is your bedspread/comforter/quilt?

Special Day!

Today is an special day for Football Star. This week he started 6:30 am practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I wasn't quite ready for him to drive to school, but I gave in and let him drive for the FIRST time to school. I was a nervous wreck. I was nervous with Computer Geek, but I don't remember being THIS nervous. I am sure it's because Football Star is my baby (he absolutely hates when I call him that) and the fact that it is just very difficult to let them go. Now don't get me wrong. I am VERY proud of him and I know he is a good driver, but the world is full of BAD drivers that will cross his path while he is on the road. So just remember him (and me) in prayer on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I pray that God surrounds his vehicle with Guardian Angels and keep him safe. It is the same prayer I prayed for Computer Geek years ago.

Until next time.....

A Princess Today

Today, I have felt like one of the Hilton sisters! Big D asked me to go with him to Jackson, Mississippi. He is here on business. He rented us a beautiful jacuzzi suite! He told me my only job while being here was to pamper myself. And believe me, I have fully done that today! After a very nice breakfast with him before he had to go to work, I came back into the room filled up the jacuzzi tub, added some mango/orange bath gel, turned on a movie, and relaxed for an hour! Let me tell you, that felt beyond wonderful. Then I took a long, HOT shower and laid on the couch and read. After my relaxing and reading, I went downstairs got a snack, walked over and watched the birds in the little glass cage they have them in(picture to come!), came back up stairs and decided to blog about my wonderful mini vacation! Now that I have bored you with my activities...I will leave you with one more Princess duty...

Time to go shopping!!

Until next time.....
