9 Years....

November 11, 2000- The day I married the man I searched my whole life for. Believe me, there were plenty of frogs before I found my prince. LOL
We met on a blind date in July of 1999 and when he walked me to the door that night, I knew no matter what happened, I would never be the same. I quickly learned that it was because I had met my best friend. I know that no matter what I have going on, regardless of what it is, when I come home at night, I come home to my best friend. It was like that from the start and I have no doubt that it will be like that for our lifetimes. I am blessed and I never want to take a day for granted.

Mike, I love you, for being my best friend, an amazing dad to our boys, and the love of my life. Happy 9 years, I look forward to the rest of our lives....

Wordless Wednesday....

Because blogs are better with pictures, here they are! Alex had his soccer party and got his trophy. He is so proud! The bottom picture is the boys together at the party. Yes, they really are that sweet most of the time!

We have been busy around here lately, but aren't we always. Will's school had their fall festival last week, I am in charge of the Silent Auction, so we are glad we have that behind us. This week is Alex's school festival, but the pressure for me is not as great for that one. We look forward to going and seeing what great games we can win!

Yesterday was my birthday, it was all in all a great day! Mike was home and those are always my favorite days! We went to lunch at my new favorite place, Panera Bread in NLR. I LOVE this place!! I started my new "job" this week. I am keeping a 9 week old 2 days a week. It is lots of fun and little girls are a new thing for us around here, but we love it.

Mike got a new job. He is going to work for a new Nursing Home side of USA Drug. We are very excited about this new endeavor. He has his first business trip in November. We are so proud of Mike and his work ethic. I know he will be great! We are well, I read blogs everyday, I am just not the best at posting for us! Hope this finds you well, Be Blessed!

Alex singing....

This is Alex, singing Billie Jean, by Michael Jackson. This is one of his new favorite songs! Enjoy!!

Soccer...

So it seems only fair that since we blog about baseball, we should also blog about soccer. Alex had his frst soccer game on Thursday night. It was so much fun to watch! He had a blast and with some work I think he will start to "get it" and have even more fun.
He got to play quite a bit and has made some friends already on his team. Alex thrives in a crowd and so this proves to be well suited for him. He almost made a couple of goals, but not making them just made him play harder. We don't know much about soccer, but we are learning. As long as he wants to play we will cheer from the sidelines.

I am so proud of my boys, they are growing into great people and we are blessed to be their parents. We are still going strong here in "Staffordland", and we wouldn't have it any other way
Be Blessed...
