Anniversaries

As the years pass, I can't believe how fast life passes by! While we were on vacation, Marc and I celebrated our 9th Anniversary! Marc and I have been together for 15 years and I've learned so much about life, love, values, family, and the troubles we all share along the way. Life: I've learned that you must live each day to the fullest, no regrets, always look forward. Love: Hold on to those who you love, make memories with them, laugh with them, Love them. Values: Christian values are so crucial to the survival and completion of life, raising my children to be Christians is my highest goal, God needs to be first in the family. Family: such a special word.....what is a family? To me it's the people whom you love and cherish...there are those who are blood, those brought in by marriage, and those who are such good friends that we all know God made to be our family. Family is not just people, it's a home...defined by those who abide, the things they do together, and the words they exchange. Troubles: We all have them, we all deal with them in different ways....I think they define who we are and cultivate us into who we are meant to be! Over the past 9 years, Marc and I have had ups and downs and I believe that we took a vow under God and this vow reminds us that we have to overcome all of our downs and to enjoy and cherish all the ups. Marc and I have been blessed with two sweet little boys, I try to pray for them daily. I also pray for their future and their future spouses. I pray that they are being raised in good Christian homes too. I hope that my boys will always respect the sanctity of marriage and learn the value of family. Anniversaries are a time to reflect on the things that matter most in relationships....I am thankful for those who took time to remember and celebrate our special day with us. Looking forward: I can't wait to see where life takes us.....I wonder what the next chapter of our life will tell, I can't wait to make more memories, shed some tears, and create more laughter.....I look forward to many more years to come! That's all for now........

Memories...begin where the magic is and dreams come true

Well, I did it! I held onto the secret and surprised my boys with Disney! Last Monday, Marc and I woke the boys up super early to go for a ride. Jackson questioned where we were going and we said, not sure...lets just see! My dad and Jennifer followed in the car behind us. Davis talked NON-sop the entire way!!!! When we got to Florida, I gave special attention to road signs and pointed to the opposite side of the road to ensure that he didn't readout destination! We arrived at a hotel which was 12 miles before Disney...Jackson was disappointed that he couldn't swim in the pool. we found an amusement park across the street and he drove the cars, which seemed to settle him! The next morning, we got up and began to get ready and strategically put Jackson in the shower last...while he was bathing we set out the personalized Disney shirts to surprise him!

He came out and saw the shirts and was shyly surprised! Davis was excited to meet Mickey too!
