11 Years

Mark and I got married 11 years ago today.  Time flies when you are having fun!  

The girls got up in the 5 am hour this morning.  Yes, 5 am.  They thought I was asleep and kept sneaking in my room to put stuff on the night stands.  It was so hard not to laugh because they were trying so hard to be quite.  They had a plan before they came in our room but Madison would say  things like, "okay, you go that way I'll go this way."  They would walk really slow into the room and then run out.  

Mark and I just giggled every time they left.  They came in and out at least four times.  If it had been light out they would have know we were awake.  They made us cards and left candy hearts.  When they were done they went back to their room and turned off the light and pretended to be asleep.  

When Nathan got up they came to our room and told us they came in the middle of the night to leave us our cards. Madison said it was midnight.  It was almost 6 am she has not concept of time.  I should really work on that with her.  They also brought us pretend food for breakfast in bed.  

I love them all very much.  What a great blessing to have three kids and be married for 11 years. Mark's 35th birthday is tomorrow.  I told Mark to take Nathan to Disney.  They both would get in for free.  I doubt he will do it but I have all day to talk him into it.    
      
Happy Valentine's Day!

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Intentional Spending

I first want to say I am not cheap!  I don't buy the cheapest item just because I want to save money.  I do like finding a good deal on things that are high quality.  I don't like sacrificing quality for price.  I try to never pay full price for anything.   When I say our spending it intentional what I mean is that Mark and I sit down around November and hash out the budget.  Some things are constants in the budget.  Mortgage, phone, insurance pretty much stay the same.  Some vary like gas, water, electric.  After years of budgeting we can average out what we spent the year before and add if needed to the new budget.   Here is what we do know we have to pay something first so they go in the budget first.  Then what is "leftover" is up for dividing.  This is not a fool proof plan. Medical never gets budgeted enough money.  Which is why you should have a savings account.  Every category gets a set amount of money tha...
