3 Joys
1. My family… my babe and my cutest kids (also my sister/sister-in-laws, brothers/brother-in-laws, mom & dad, etc.)
2. Going out to dinner… I love going out to dinner
3. A really good surprise. I enjoy surprising other just as much as being surprised.

3 Fears
1. Criminals… all kinds. I am terrified of child molesters. When Sam is not here I go through all the scenarios of what I would do if someone was in my house and tried to…
2. Driving up on a car accident and seeing someone in my family involved in it…especially Sam.
3. My children not making good choice when their older.

3 Goals
1. To get a degree of some sort.
2. finish my “projects/to-do’s” (long term and short) scrap booking, sewing, organize all our picture, etc.
3. Be better about writing in my journal

3 Obsessions
1. Sam and my Kids… (and the rest of my family)
2. My floors… I sweep them like twice a day… I obsess about my kitchen in general. I HATE having dishes sitting in my sink and my dishwasher is loaded in a certain way… I wash all the dishes by hand first. The cups go one place, bottles in another, plates one way and the silverware is a process in its self.
3. Diet Coke… sevs… yeyah!!!

3 Randoms
1. I have a 9mm in my closet whenever I get really scared I run and get it… don’t worry I wouldn’t just randomly shoot it!
2. I really want to become a photographer
3. I LOVE watching shows like Gangland, Inside, Intervention… I had to quit watching Forensic Files because I would get too scared!

A fishing affair

I should have know that as much as my babe loves to fish my son would feel the same. I bought Austin a little plastic fishing pole, one with a magnet on the end and some fish with the magnets in the mouth, he LOVED IT. He wouldn't put it down for days. We had to take it in the car, in stores, EVERYWHERE we went the fishing pole was with us. Our fishing FHE night was so so much fun!

the 1st fish of the night

Sam and I caught one at the exact same time!!.. we really are meant to be

Austin caught and reeled this one in all by himself!

my babe is the real deal... licking the knot!

a thought...

Shelly, my mom and I were out to lunch this past week. While we were together the usual conversation arose about how much we love our children. Like any mother would we cried! I remember telling Shelly right before she had Goldie that when she became a mother life will make sense. Now she knows what I was talking about. Looking back… before I met Sam, I wonder what the heck was I doing. I feel like I was just wondering around life. Then when we found each other life suddenly made sense. I found the perfect man of my dreams. I felt so fulfilled. Now looking back on married (kidless) life I can help but think WHAT WAS I (WE) DOING… I feel like we were wondering around life together. Now that I have my husband and my kids I feel like I have such purpose. Life finally makes sense!!! I have the most darling, perfect husband and kids. I AM so fulfilled. I could never have comprehended how it would feel like to be a mother. I am the most blessed woman that has ever lived. The greatest part of this whole plan is that my darling sister who was sitting next to me and my lovely mother sitting on the other side during this conversation both feel the exact same way as I do about their husbands and children. What a Wonderful Life!
