he's still the one...

so it isn't the best picture....but i'm in love with this guy! actually, princess took the camera and personally posed us for this picture. it was quite cute.


but, back to the guy in the picture. isn't he cute? this past saturday we celebrated 11 years of marriage. we had taken our annual getaway the weekend before so it was a rather quiet day. we had a wedding later that afternoon. i have to say that as i sat and watched the couple exchange their vows, i got a bit misty eyed. not just for the couple, but because i so vividly remember ours. hubby wowed me with his. and i know that 11 years later he still means them and has lived them.


i kinda joked with hubby that sine we didn't dance at our wedding, he owed me one at this one. he does not like to dance. so while i was on the dance floor with a friend and her kids the dj announced he was slowing things down. he then said this song was dedicated to us in honor of our anniversary. i was so excited and ran to get him. i didn't give him an option.


can i just say....it was so amazing to be dancing with him. i love him so deeply. and of course, they had chosen faithfully by journey, which is a favorite, but to stand so close and look into his eyes was like getting married all over again. when i look back and think about our life together it has definitely been a journey. there have been good times and some not so good, although i wouldn't trade those times for anything. he loved me through job changes, babies, and even the loss of our third child. he loved me through his own trials with politics, friendships, and work.


as i stood there that night and the past 11 years flashed through my mind i knew, without any doubt, although i guess i never had any doubt, that this guy was the only one i would want to have by my side....he told me that i hold his heart in my hands, and i treasure that greatly.

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
