First Grade

I just put Madilyn on the bus to her first day of first grade! I'm sad because my baby is growing up, but I am happy that she loves school!

Have a great day Baby Girl!

Happy Mother's Day!

I have the best family ever. My daughter is a smart, beautiful, well-mannered little girl, and I am so proud to call myself her mommy! My husband, well, he's just the best!!!!

I miss you momma! Happy mother's day!

So it seems that I come here when I scrap or when I need to vent...but I guess that is what blogs are for right?

I am having a terrible day! It is one of those days where I feel like crying, but not sobbing uncontrollably...just sitting quietly while the tears roll down my face cry!

I have had this overwhelming urge for about a week to hear my mom's voice. I'm not sure if I'm afraid that I have forgotten what it sounds like or that I just need a good mother/daughter chat. Either way, I want to call her. I want to hear her laugh. Because that's what we did when we talked on the phone, we laughed...a lot. Usually because I was doing something stupid to make her laugh, but still.

As I am typing this, I am listening to my daughter giggle as my dear, dear husband gives her a shower. They are laughing and using silly voices...it makes my heart swell!!!!

So I ask this...How can I be so sad and have my cup runneth over at the same time?

I've been scrapping...

Prom Weekend

This weekend I got the opportunity to play prom paparazzi for Paige and Devan. I had a great time and I'm pretty sure they got tired of having their pictures taken. But out of almost 200 photos, I did get a few good ones. Thank goodness for digital! If only the sun would have cooperated a little more!!!

8 years ago today...

Steve proposed to me. Silly man!! LOL!


So here's the story...

We went to dinner on a random night at TGIFriday's. I always wore my mom's original wedding band and he asked to see it. So I handed it to him and quickly announced that I had to go to the bathroom. When I came back, I asked for my mom's ring back because it was making me nervous that I didn't have it. So he put it on my finger, band side up. When I turned it around, I just about freaked out...it wasn't mom's ring...it was an engagement ring. And it was beautiful! He said something about I could have it if I promised to spend the rest of my life with him! So, I asked if I could have mom's ring! LOL! Then we both laughed and I had both rings!

And I am so glad that I said yes...and that he asked. I love him more today than I did then!

And you know, somehow I think that my mom played a small part in sending him to me. She never got to meet him. He and I were dating, but I had not introduced him to my family when she passed away! So, thanks mommy!

And another month passes...

Isn't it insane the amount of time that passes and how quickly it goes! There is a lot to catch up on...and I'm too tired to think about it all! Silly huh!?!?!?!?!
