I don't know about anyone else but this is how I felt this morning.

I was not ready to face the world when my alarm clock went off.

It's gonna be a long day!

I was looking through my pictures and found this one and felt the need to post it.

Isn't this the cutest Jolly Green Giant you have ever seen?

March 17th was my parents 30th wedding anniversary. My sister came up with a really neat idea to make a scrap book of the last 30 years. However, she came up with this idea four days before their anniversary. So we were literally working day and night on a scrap book. I have to say, that kinda takes the fun out it! But we still managed to have a good time and my parents loved it.
I snapped this picture of my sister's three monsters watching Mike pull in the drive way. They love him...it's kinda cute.


Then my birthday was Sunday and Mike had plans for me all weekend. On Saturday evening he invited my two best friends to come to dinner with us at one of my favorite places and then took us out to Coldstone Creamery for desert. His gift to me was to stay home all day on Sunday, which is quite a feat for Mike. It was a fantastic weekend. Then we bought me a new pair of shoes.
He bought me a pair of Dansko's in this really wonderful red color.
He had Sarah sneak into my room and check the shoe size. It was really cute. Thank you Sarah! He really spoiled me! I give most of the credit to his four older sisters for raising him to have fantastic taste in shoes and clothes. Yeah for me!



P/S- Happy Birthday Becca!!!

What a great night...

Success!

I had mentioned on a previous post that I had a food drive planned and it has finally come and gone. Last Thursday I convinced the guys on my fire department to get together and collect non-perishables for Local Aide. We had such a great time! I think all together we had around twenty people help us and collected 635 lbs of food. The guys and gals were so supportive and really helped out a lot. It made me so proud to be a part of that group.

I'm sure Mike is thankful that it is over and done with because I was so stressed that it wouldn't go well and probably wasn't the most pleasant person to be around. But as usual he was extremely helpful and supportive in every way. There was someone that was annoyed that I was gone all night though. That would be that sweet little face to the right.

PS-if you are wondering why we don't have a fitted bed sheet it is because she eats them. Spoiled much?

Yep I'm a slacker

I know, I know...I haven't posted for over a MONTH! In my defense it has been a very busy month! Mike and I have had so much going on this month we have barely seen each other. With the exception of the food drive I've volunteered to be in charge of I think everything stressful and time consuming has come and gone.
Duck season is finally over and fishing season is just starting. Fishing is actually something I enjoy so I will get to go with him more often. Standing in freezing cold water at 4 a.m. waiting for ducks to fly over for hours at a time is not something I would do on a regular basis but fishing I can do.
I have much more to post so check back in the next couple days and hopefully I will have gotten all caught up!
