My Man and me

 

 Some random facts about me and my man
(this blog post idea is based on  Mama Kat's Writing Workshop)


1. He is an only child. This sometimes causes conflict at our house because I am the baby in my family and we are both used to having our own way. 
2. We were married by a Justice of the Peace. I do not regret this at all! However I do wish we had a big party afterwards with all our friends.
3. My husband is 90% sarcasm and 10% cock eyed optimism. This balances out my 90% reality and 10% pessimism. 
4.  We both love photography. 
5. He is very technical and analytical. Which works out perfectly because I'm totally not. 

In short he is my perfect match.  

Wordless Wednesday: 2-13-13 Valentine's Day Edition

Our Story

My blog sphere contribution to Valentines Day is to share my love story. How husband and I met. It all started long long ago in a Galaxy far far away. Wait wrong story! LOL :) It started way back in high school. My freshman year. I joined some friends at the lunch table and I noticed a new guy sitting there. Instantly I noticed his beautiful blue eyes. Well he introduced himself as Moe  and he was a senior. We talked a little bit and had mutual friends but never really hung out a lot. I had a secret crush on him but he was dating a friend of mine. Well after that year I would think about him occasionally and wonder what happened to him. Well one day I ridding around with my mom when her van broke down. While we were waiting on someone to come help us. This rea4lly cute guy ridding a bicycle stopped to see if we were ok. It was no other than Moe! I remember him looking at me that day while we were waiting for help and his eyes saw into my soul! I never forget that moment as long as I live! Well we tried dating for a while but it never did work after that. So far a while he went his way and I went mine. About ten years later he ran across my my mind for some reason. So I tried looking online to see if I could find him. Well I did and as they say in the movies the rest is history. We've been inseparable ever since. To date we have date 10 years been married 3 years. Every day I love him more! He makes me want to be the best me I can be!  I love baby!




How did you meet you Valentine? 

Christmas 2011: Adopted by Love

Sharon holding up her baking soda less cookies!

We met at church. I say it was a divine connection. Sharon is an older lady in our church. She's a former teacher,, love animals and loves to garden. Sound like someone else you know?  :) I don't remember when I first met her I just know that we started getting to know each other during Vacation Bible School. Well she has no daugther's of her own. In case you didn't know my parents live in Arkansas and our relationship is well let's just say complicated in the least. Thank you Jesus that it's getting better though. Well what do most mother daughter's do during the holidays. No not fight but make cookies and go Christmas shopping! That's exactly what Sharon and I did. We made cookies and went shopping! It was so much fun! Sharon and I laugh until we cried! We even were having such a good time that she forgot to put baking soda in her molassas cookies. We decided to adpot each other. Just like love you can't keep it to yourself. Sharon and I adopted an elderly lady from our church  who has no family. I call her grandma.

Do you have friends that you believe that God has put into your life for a specific purpose? Do you have friends who are more like family?

Friday Fragments 12-16-11

 .

1. The foundation on our house is finally fixed. Unfortunately, our broken pluming still is not.

 2. We are still staying at my mother in laws. My mother in law has been very sweet and accommodating but I'm just not comfortable there. What's wrong with me!?

3. My blood sugar has been really low lately. not sure what's going on with that. However, I have discovered when my blood sugar gets low I get really REALLY anxious. Not good :(

4. My cat does not like being left at our house (my mom in law is allergic and I cant bring her). She barks at me (short, angry meows ) every time I see her for the first 10-15 minutes

5. It so irritating and frustrating having half your stuff at your house and everything else at your in laws! It's been a challenge trying to stay organized with all of it!

6. Heaven gained to extra special angels this week. Both of which I'm sure I'll blog about next week. Rest in peace Mickey and Dr. Stafford.

7. . I have a question for everyone. Would you feel self conscious cooking in someone else kitchen. You all know I love to cook but I hate cooking in my mom in laws kitchen. I don't know what it is-I just feel self conscious and nervous. Would you? Any suggestions to get over it?

8. My mom fell again and messed up her knee replacement. She will have to wear a permanent brace the rest of her life on that knee now. She is going to have it repaired one last time on January 6.

9. I'm not sure why but my husband mom doesn't decorate for Christmas. I've decorated some at our house but I don't get home as much as I want. I'm learning that Christmas is really all in the heart

10. Please keep me and my hubby in your prayers. This whole not being our house has been very stressful on our marriage. I am fighting not to give into depression from everything going on. I know God is giving me strength.  Thank you for the prayers. You guys are the best

 

I never leave His hand

Most of you know I have ALOT going on right now. I'm just so thankful and blessed that He is with me through it all! I just wanted to share a picture I drew a few days ago. It show's how I feel right now. I hope you enjoy it.

I also want to share a song with you that has ministered to me during this time. It's called Your Hands by JJ Heller.  Thanks everyone for your love, prayers and support. I'll write more soon!

 Love, Hugs and Prayers

My Sweeet Babbo

Sunday will make the 3 anniversary of me being married to my sweet baboo. My Sweet Baboo  is a very understanding, loving, generous, good man.  I know that what we have works because of who he is.  And while he is most definitely a very manly man, masculine- he is willing to do whatever it takes to help me-even do housework! He is my best friend and knows how to make me laugh when no one else can.

It took me awhile to truly trust him.  I had issues and on top of that, my issues had baggage.  Was I screwed up? You bet.  To say I was skittish is a major understatement.  I had scars and scares and fears and freak outs I needed to get rid of.  It took me almost ten years to agree to marry him because I was so skittish. And over the years, his patience and unwavering, unconditional love helped me heal.  And chocolate.  He knows I love almost anything chocolate!

Consistent, constant, unwavering, unconditional, total, complete, and a totally passionate love.  That is what he gives me.  Though he is not perfect I believe that he gives me a great example of the Father's love.

Sometimes I look at him and am blown away by this man.  He is a gift from God just for me.   He believes in me, my talents, and abilities. He wants me to thrive.  He loves me, totally.

I think both of us have to be a crazy.  It takes a crazy person to move in with another person and develop a life-time relationship with someone who is so absolutely totally opposite of oneself and to expect it to work!

 Sweet Baboo's  expressions of love still astound me.   Truly, he makes it very easy to love him and he makes it fun to share this life with.

He just flat out loves me.  ME!  He LOVES me.  He loves ME.  HE loves me.  Wow.!

 Happy Anniversary my Sweet Baboo! May we have many more years together.
