My Birthday

I quite possibly have the best husband on the planet. Even after almost 8 years of marriage he's still so thoughtful of me.
Today was my birthday and he took the day off of work to be with the kids so I could have a day off. He served me breakfast in bed, then scheduled a manicure and pedicure at the spa I like going to, took me out to lunch, then we came home and lounged, then we went out to dinner.
I just think it's so thoughtful that he took the day off work so I could relax. He's so thoughtful and kind hearted, and not just on my birthday.
I'm truly blessed to have him as a husband, friend, and father to our children. I hope my little boy grows up just like his daddy and I hope my little girl learns how a man should treat a woman and not settle for less!
I'm so thankful for all the birthday wishes from all my family and friends too! Everyone was so thoughtful!

Time marches on

So it seems I'm a little slow at this online diary thing BUT I try to find time when I can. Life is so busy these days I hardly know where the time goes. My little girl is lively, active, and chatty! My little boy is getting so big, it makes me a little sad. He'll be 1 yr old in 2 months! Hard to believe 1 yr ago I was very LARGE and, of course, in charge. (still am:)
My mom came to visit last month when Shawn was in China and we had a great time but the time went so fast, again. This week I'll be turning 35...officially in my mid-thirties...or as my sister says I'm now "clinically middle-aged." Whatever...I'm so blessed! I think the thing I've really been realizing lately is how fast time goes. My niece is graduating high school this year - I was 16 when she was born and now she's 18 years old! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone when we go visit!
Okay so the kids are in bed so my husband and I finally have some alone time. Gotta go!!!
