8 Years....

Today is Mark and I's 8th wedding anniversary. So here are 8 reasons why I married him, love him, and will be with him forever and ever!

1. He is such a hard worker. He is always so joyful with whatever he does, and he never complains, he goes to work each and everyday with a smile on his face and a song in his heart, and works so hard.

2. He loves his girls. He is such a wonderful daddy. He is firm, yet fair, gentle, but loves to wrestle, loving but is not afraid to discipline. His girls love him so much, and I love seeing them interact each and everyday.

3. He loves his family. The relationship he has with his mom and dad is amazing, his dad is his hero, and he loves his mom and truly respects her. I love seeing him around his family.

4. He is an amazing golfer/athlete. Even though I bug him about golfing, he is so good, and is so passionate about it, he is also an amazing soccer goalie, and soccer coach.



5. He loves what he loves. He doesn't really try new things and when he finds something he loves he sticks with it, he loves his fiesta salad at Red Robin, his club sandwich at sub marina and his iced tea, he is so predictable and easy to please.

6. He loves Jesus with all his heart, and he strives to teach his girls and co-workers his true beliefs.

7. He loves my family, I know he sees my dad more then I do, and his relationship with my mom is wonderful. I love that he is part of MY family!

8. Most importantly, I love that he loves ME. He loves all of me, all my faults, my money-spending, crazy ways. He makes me laugh, smile, and most importantly he makes me so happy. I cannot imagine my life without him.
Love you Marky!

My Little Sister....

So today my little sister got ENGAGED! I am so happy for her and my future brother in law, Ryan, (aka Ry Ry) I love my sister with all my heart and I know how happy Ryan makes her, they are both in education, and love sports they have so much in common, I am so excited for them both, God has sent her on a wild ride, but I am so grateful Ryan was at the end with open arms. I am so thankful to have Ryan in our lives, and I cannot wait to see what the future brings for them! CONGRATS to Whit and Ryan!

Here come's Franklin's Mom..... coming to your house!

Sp today was Samantha's "Franklin" school play, she did SOOOOOOOO good, here are some pictures of Franklin's mother!

A MUST Read....

So I am addicted...with what you may ask??? TWILIGHT! I knew of many people, including my mom, reading these books, and I had NO interest in them what so ever. She even bought me the 1st book for my birthday in hopes that I would read them. Vampires, just don't interest me in the slightest, or so I thought. Well I picked the 1st book up after some coaxing from one of Mark's co-workers, and let's just say the rest is history. 4 LONG books in less then 2 weeks, I NEVER put them down. One night I found myself reading by the light of the computer screen at 3 in the morning. These books are incredible, and I think anyone and everyone should read them and know about them, in fact my hubby who NEVER reads is well into the 3rd one and I don't think I have seen the end of his nose for about 2 weeks. My mother in law, sister and brother in law are all hooked. I am so happy that I read these books and I truly recommend them! Read them and you can thank me later :)

Fall is finally here!
