One of My Loves

When I say "one" of my loves, the other is sweet Miss Katie, but Brian was first. Here he is chillin' in Myrtle Beach after a motorcycle ride this past April. Can you see that grin on his face?

Brian is not a complicated man, rather a very real, down-to-earth kind of guy that has a devilish sense of humor. He likes to make people laugh and often does crazy stunts to get the results he's seeking. (In fact, I have few fun pictures to post later that my Sweatshoppe ladies will find hysterical.) But, he rarely really laughs himself. Something needs to really tickle his funny bone before you get a good belly laugh out of him. I often pick on him about his "12 years old sense of humor" because he giggles at passing gas, a dog burp, etc.

We're almost to our 17th wedding anniversary, and I wouldn't trade a day of that time - I love this man! (Well, OK, maybe a day or two...)

Momentos of Scrapping Weekends...

In my attempt to branch into the digital era for scrapping, I was putting all of my pictures in folders and backing them up. I came across this series and couldn't help but giggle, then share!


It's amazing what a bunch of ladies away for the weekend will get excited about, huh?!

The truck that made our dreams come true and Jimmie!

First Time Blogger!

Hi all -welcome to my attempt at blogging! I love to keep up with all of my blogger friend's lives with their blogs so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

What's new with me? Well, daughter Katie just completed third grade with an excellent report card. She was having a little difficulty with math again this year, but we pulled it off and she's very proud of herself. Brian and I have agreed to have a tutor work with her over the summer as she and I butt heads, and he's just not up to speed on some of that stuff. Hopefully she not only stays on track for 4th grade, but is ahead of the game when she starts back in September.

We're on the home stretch for our week of vacation starting June 30th, cannot wait to have a few days off to spend at home. But I'm afraid Brian has ulterior motives...fixing our sidewalk, digging up our flower bed (or shall I say Weed Bed) and washing windows. I was thinking more along the lines of sleeping late, going to the movies, a massage and mani/pedi. Oh well, maybe we can fit them all in. Hopefully I'll have lots of time to blog!
