Had to share (before I forgot)...

Tonight while I was giving Brynn a bath, she said something I thought was funny...

Mom, you know I am just a LITTLE girl...
but I AM about to be 5...
because I have LONG feet!!

I am not quite sure how these 3 things fit together but in her little mind they do!!

Guess What I Got...

This is my gift from Brandon for our anniversay!!

I know what you are thinking...

"What man in his right mind would give this to a woman on their anniversary?"

Apparently my husband!

In his defense, I did ask for this (for Christmas). I got an "IOU" because he couldn't find it any where around Christmas.

I did tell him he still owed me a gift since technically this was supposed to be my Christmas present, but he didn't agree!!

What a Surprise. . .

My husband came home from West Virginia a day early!!!

I was only home from dinner for about 10 minutes, when there was a knock at the door. I was thinking it was probably my brother-in-law. He is always stopping by for one reason or another.

So I opened the door to see Brandon standing there!!! I couldn't believe it.

I was very excited to see him but not near as excited as the girls!

Brynn was just saying how much she was missing her daddy and wished he was coming home today.

and HE DID!!!!

It's Been 4 Years. . .

since we said "I do!"

Our relationship has come so far and grown so much in such a short time. I can’t imagine my life without Brandon in it. At times he can drive me crazy, but I know he will always be there for me to lean on. He is a greater dad than I could ever want for our girls.

I love you, Brandon!! Happy Anniversary!!

Even though we are apart this year for our anniversary, I tucked away a little gift in the suitcase (that he asked to open last night.) I know his is going to be excited…or at least he better be!!!

I got him tickets to 1 of his favorite bands…

METALLICA!!

I should be getting a phone call at any minute:)

Someone Is 25...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!!!

WE LOVE YOU AND HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

BRYNN, ADDIE & SUMMER

DAY 1

About a year ago, several of my friends were talking about doing a group trip to Disney. I thought this was a great idea and would be lots of fun, so I joined the bandwagon. Brandon wasn't so sure about the whole idea at first. I just started saving and began working on him to change his mind. A few months went by and Brandon had come to realize we WERE going.

Fast forward another 6 months...
We started talking about the possibility of flying. We got such a great deal on our trip, why not see how much it would be to fly. My GREAT friend, Summer, who planned EVERYTHING, started watching for a good deal on a flight. A month before we planned to leave, a really good deal came our way!!

I should mention I have NEVER, EVER flown. The fact that I was flying and both my children were flying in the same plane for the very 1st time was a HUGH deal to me. If you know anything about me, I always think the worst is going to happen and this was no exception. I kept thinking the plane would crash, Brandon and I would die and my kids would survive as orphans. I know C-R-A-Z-Y...but that is just how my brain works.

Fast forward another month...
Time to head to the magical place were all your dreams come true!!! The procrastinator I am waited to mere hours before we are to arrive at the airport to begin packing! I think 1 reason or the REAL reason was I was nervous about the whole flying thing. It had been raining most of the day and as we were driving to the airport it started to rain hard! My nerves were getting to me but I tried not to think about it.

2 hours passed, time to get on the plane. Brynn was very excited so she sat by the window. Addie fell asleep, so I held her. Brandon sat by the aisle. The Martin's were sitting in the 2 rows in front of us.

The plane started down the run way and we were off. We had lots of turbulence because we were flying through storms! The seatbelt sign never went off. A long, long hour and twenty minutes later, we landed in non-raining, no coat wearing Florida SAFE and sound!!!

We picked up our rental car...economy size...thank goodness for the Martin's car or we would have had luggage straped to the roof!!!and headed to the closest hotel to spend the night (6 hours) before driving to DISNEY!!!
