Happy Anniversary!

Today makes SIX years of marriage to my best friend and love of my life!

This guy and I?  Have been through life together.  And I do mean Life.  From the age of 15, we’ve grown up together, graduated college, got married, moved 3 times and had two children in our six short years.  We’ve been through the ups and downs, highs and lows, deaths and weddings and births.  We’ve done infertility, miscarriage, complicated pregnancy and NICU baby.  Check, check and check.  Our marriage has been put to the test, and we have persevered.  He is truly my best friend and I am so thankful for him.

July 1999.  Both 15 years old.

He is such a hard worker to provide for our family.  He has a terrible shift and drives a long way each day in order to provide and not move me away from my family.  He is an amazing daddy to our girls.  He’s smoking hot.  More so now than at age 15. HAHA! 


I am so very thankful God put us together.  I love him with my whole heart and would be lost without him!  I love you baby!

Here’s to MANY more!!

A random Sunday

Miss Finley is in some sort of growth-spurt-four-month-sleep-regression-type thing, and I am exhausted!!  She has been waking up to nurse about every two hours, so this morning, Daddy let me sleep in until 930!!!  Unfortunately, we missed physically going to church, but I did watch it LIVE on the internet!  But, the sleep was SO needed!  Thank you husband!

Mia and I ran to Kroger to get some items (her favorite grocery store because of the little people carts they have!  She feels like such a big girl with these!), and then came back and she immediately put her bathing suit on.  That girl LIVES in a bathing suit these days!  She even asks to sleep in them (when she isn’t sleeping in a dress).  I have obliged a couple of times.  What is it going to hurt?!  She’s only little once, and I have to pick my battles :)

We had a fruit smoothie…


Momma tried to get some things done, but noticed baby sister falling asleep in the jumper, so I picked her up and snuggled her during nap time!  They grow so fast and the house can wait, but my babies can NOT!



After about an hour, I put her in her bed so I could put away some of her clothes.  Sleeping with her eyes open freaks me out!


This is a little absurd…

Some of what is in her closet.  This does not even include her full dresser!  Note: It is nice to have a big sister for some hand-me-downs!

After nap, we washed cars, jumped, played and enjoyed the doors and windows open in this perfect weather!









I love the weekends!

A grocery date :)

My mom came over to watch the girls so Dave and I could go to the grocery.  Alone. 


I know it seems silly, but we were SO excited to have a little date day, even if it was just to the grocery!  We walked in with our arms around each other, instead of our arms wrangling children, talked and laughed and flirted ;)  I love my kids more than anything, but it’s nice to have some alone time with your spouse!  It’s the little things.

And I love it.  Love him.

We’ve reached double digits! THIRTEEN YEARS!

Today marks 13, (THIRTEEN, DO YOU HEAR ME?) years that Dave and I have been together.
It was after school had dismissed.  We were in the gym, him waiting to go to track practice and me softball practice, and the flirting was relentless.  We were just kids.  Freshman in high school who had major crushes on each other! HA!  We got a moment away from friends and he nervously asked me to be his girlfriend.  I was so embarrassed (the maturity factor wasn’t quite there! LOL) and I couldn’t say anything but laugh.  Then I started ranting about how I “knew” he was going to do this, blah blah blah.  He stopped me mid sentence and said “Well??”
I followed up with a big fat YES! and the rest is history.


“Ordinary?  No, I really don’t think so. Not a love this true.
Common destiny, we were meant to be, Me and You!

Like a perfect scene, from a movie screen, were a dream come true.
Suited perfectly, for eternity, Me and You!

Every day, I need you even more.  And the night time too. 
There’s no way I could ever let you go, even if I wanted to.

Every day I live, I try my best to give, all I have to you.
I thank the stars above, that we share this love, Me and You.

Every day, I need you even more.  And the night time too.
There’s no way I could ever let you go, even if I wanted to.

Ordinary? No, I really don’t think so…
Just a precious few ever make it last and get as lucky as
Me and You


David Huff, I am so so in love with you. You are my best friend and my soul mate.  There is no one in this world I would rather go through the seasons of life with.  Forever and Ever.
I am so blessed and my heart is full.  I have found the one whom my heart loves.

28

So here’s the thing.  Twenty eight years ago today, God brought my soul mate into this world.  My best friend and husband was born.  I literally can not imagine my life without him.  The mere thought of not having him in my life is suffocating.  So today, I celebrate the life and birthday of my wickedly handsome, super hard working and crazy loving man in my life!



David Huff, you amaze me.  I am so fortunate to have you in my life.  I love you more than you will ever know!



Here’s to 28 more years…


Happy happy birthday lover, you still make me feel all giddy inside!  :)

Christmas Eve 2011

We started out this morning just hanging around the house and being silly…
Before showers, still in our jams…
This is her “wink!”  She can only do it with *both* eyes!  HA!



Kisses for mama!

We tried desperately for a nap, but to no avail we had to get ready to head out to start our family Christmas festivities!
In the car with sleepy eyes…

Annnddd, about 5 minutes later…

HAHA!
Dave and I ready for Christmas!

We had so much good food and spent quality time with great family!  The kids had a blast!

Mia and her pal/BFF Jazzlyn!


My attempt to get SEVEN kids to all “cheeeese” and look at the camera…HA!

One with closed eyes and the other digging for treasure!  5 out of 7 isn't to shabby!!!

Merry Christmas to all!
