Some of the things that make me happy.......

These are not the obvious things like family blah blah blah-this is some of the other good stuff in life.

a pedicure

my bed on Sunday afternoons

football weather

swimming without my kids

a good prayer meeting

tight harmony in a song

discovering a show like Army Wives

devils food cake with no icing

the after church camp nap

sitting by David in church

eating a meal with my sisters, their spouses, my parents and all of the kids

photo albums

websites about those neat homeschool moms that bake bread and sew their own clothes

Thats enough for now-I am smiling!

Let's get a few things straight.

Everyone needs to exfoliate-no exceptions. This is not a complicated thing-but it is very necessary. If you have any questions regarding this call me I will be glad to help.

Adultery is a sin. It does not matter how you justify it, it is sin. In fact if I recall it is in the top 10. I don't understand what people don't understand. If the person you are currently flirting with is married-or if you are married-find an altar-you are sinning. I do not say this in judgment but from painful experience. I think a 14 year marriage gives me the right to comment on this.

Church attendance is not optional. One of my very own children did not 'want' to go to church last night. She was not sick, she was not tired. She did not want to go because it is boring. Oh my cow-I have to put stop to this right now. Since when is church about being entertained???? She learned that from somewhere-I just pray it was not from her parents. People who do not attend church backslide. I can not afford to miss church-I need the fellowship of other believers. I need a place to worship with people who see the Father the way I do. You can skip or make excuses if you dare-take it up with God.

Everyone looks better with a tan. While I appreciate your opinion on my skin cancer options-I will continue to tan.

In conclusion-you are right I do not always answer my phone or call back right away. The way I see it if you need to talk to me that is fine-I can not however, be accessible 24/7 to anyone who does not live with me. I am amazed at how many people are offended because I am not at their beckon call. Just so you know I have been known to ignore the doorbell and continue napping as well. And just to be fair-I don't expect any different out of you.

WOW-this blog thing is GREAT!

What a way to begin

Apparently everyone except me blogs-so I figured it was time to do it too. I have fairly insightful thought, often a humorous muse during the day-I work alone a lot.
I named this blog to honor not only my husband-but to allow insight into our home and lives in Milan. David and I have been married 14 years tomorrow.
A Wednesday anniversary-lovely! I guess it is ok for #14 to be on a weekday-who celebrates the 14th anyway. I have discovered the gift to be given on the 14th anniversary is Ivory or Gold jewelery-very well I accept.
David is the straight man to all my shenanigans. He not only tolerates my oddities-but gets a huge kick out of them. We are a great match! He is a domestic genius, a wise businessman, a doting father, fun companion and trustworthy friend. I love him more today than I ever thought I would-especially the first year!!
More tomorrow....
