Going Backwards, and forwards

Not sure what my deal is these days but I just haven't been in the mood to write about what's been going on in my neck of the woods. Nothing bad has happened, I actually don't have PMS (shocker!), I'm not drowning in a book (but I am getting ready to start this one, am I the last person on earth?). Anyway, nothing has been keepin me from writing. I've been focusing on housework and house projects and a wee bit o' craftiness. Oh and a little thing some people like to call Facebook, but I call the black hole that I get sucked into daily and only come out when my kids need to be picked up or fed!

I finally got the gumption tonight to whip up my first ever video using the pictures I took on our recent anniversary trip. Last weekend, my parents were darling enough to keep our kids so that we could get away together. Our anniversary actually isn't until March 18th but with David's work + school schedule this was our only chance to celebrate. He has class the Saturdays before and after our anniversary, he is working the nights before & after our anniversary, and has class on our actual anniversary :( So we HAD TO GET AWAY when we could hahaha!

Now some of you may think that we are crazy for 1) celebrating our big day at Disneyland and 2) for going without the kiddos. Well ya we're crazy like that :)

We had a blast going on pretty much ALL the grown up rides, something we never get to do! I was trying to be a brave little wifey and accompany my man on all these scary rides but after going on The Tower of Terror I was dunzo! That is THE scariest thing I have EVER done in my ENTIRE life! No, I do not care how dramatic that sounds. I almost crapped my pants! I will never understand why being terrified, dropped a bajillion stories, or jerked around is FUN and entertaining for anyone!!! If you can, pause it when you get to the pic from Tower of Terror. I am gripping my love for dear life and he is laughing hysterically. The other people in the pic are posing, raising their hands, & even whistling! I was CRYING and praying for the welfare of my children after my untimely demise! No joke! Not fun, not fun at all and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Something else I have to mention, I forgot my camera charger :( I was able to eek out enough juice for these few pictures but there were so many photo ops that I just couldn't get.

All was made right with the world when my hunny bought us Annual Passes! He said, "Now we can come back when your camera is charged" hahaha he's such a sweetie pie! Seriously how did I get so d*amn lucky!? I have coveted Annual Passes for quite some time now! Did you know that SoCal residents can now use a payment plan for them? For a one income family like us that is a dream come true! Reason #1029383821 why I heart Disney.

Ok enough rambling, here's my wittle slideshow... mute my soundtrack down at the bottom so you can hear my favoritest love song ever while you look at the pics!

I'm an old married lady....

Eight years ago today, at the ripe old age of 19!, I became a married woman. I married a man, that technically my mom had chosen for me (funny how moms always know best huh?), but more importantly, HE chose me. He wasn't someone that I had to chase, or win over, or beg for attention. He chased me! He won ME over! It felt really good :) He likes to remind me just how close I came to him giving up. I'm SO glad he didn't. We have certainly had our ups and downs over the past few years but we have always come out of it all more united than when we started. I am so blessed to have a true partner to share my life with, to "grow up" with, to raise children with, and to just BE with. I love you baby!

Sometimes it gets me...

I often find myself wondering just how in the heck my husband and I got together. Don't get me wrong, I am completely in love the guy and knew from the minute I layed eyes on him that he was THE ONE. But we are SOOOOOOOOO different! So different! He is a total sports freak. Not just a football guy, or basketball guy, he loves ALL the sports. Loves watching em, loves playing em, loves reading about em. All of it. Drives me - a total inside girl who loves to read and do pretty crafty things, watch crafty shows, etc - crazy sometimes!
But every once in awhile, it gets me. Something in the sports world comes my way - usually it's something that my darling husband shares with me, or a movie about sports that he is watching and then I get sucked into it cause its good. And it gets to me.
On my husband's laptop, his homepage is ESPN. Normally I just click straight to my yahoo or myspace but today something caught my eye. A story about a player for the NY Giants - who are going to the SuperBowl if you're as clueless as me. He's from some small podunk town and he married the coach's daughter for crying out loud! Anyway it interested me so I thought I might share it with you.

I can't wait to share it with my husband when he gets home from taking our daughter to dance. Hmmm maybe we're not so different after all?

Husband of the Year

Ya'll might argue with me here but I seriously have the Husband of the Year. He calls tonight to tell me he's running late and I wig out a lil on him. Then he brings dinner home and Queenie is unhappy with what he brought her, then I explain to him why I wigged out on the phone which is really just a whole lot more wiggage. What a welcome home for the weekend package we are for him huh? I had calmed Lacie down and had told her that we should be happy that daddy is home and that he was sweet enough to surprise us with dinner and all these things that I KNEW I should be listening to myself! UGH So then the hubs and I are talking about how the house is a mess and how we're having people over tomorrow and the plans that we have during the day. NOW GET THIS! Not more than 30 minutes AFTER his yucky welcome home, my husband offers to stay home and CLEAN THE HOUSE! AND GO TO THE STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND he's only sending me out with ONE kid! I do NOT deserve this man!
