This lovely lady cracks me up.  My friend was kind enough to send me some images to play with.  The sentiment is from one of my sets, but it totally fits.

Thanks for looking!

Today I'm grateful for:  the smell of coffee first thing, fun day with the family, Ty's team had a great game, kids running to my parents (so adorable how much they love each other), honeysuckle candle making house smell amazing!

My friend and I don't worry about dressing so 'cute' when we get together.  More like jeans or yoga pants, flips, and ponytails, but we do laugh as much as these girls appear to be.

Thanks for looking!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for looking!

 Today I'm grateful for:  coffee delivered to my nightstand, waking up to gorgeous roses, Daddy making sure Diva got roses, too (purposely setting the bar high for future son-in-law lol), kids texting 'thanks, Dad' as they dig into the chocolate boxes he left them, a delicious dinner with all 4 of my Valentines

Today's the anniversary of our engagement.  Nineteen years ago he asked and, of course, I said yes.  I thought that I *knew* we would have a good life together.  I had NO idea just how absolutely wonderful it would be.  I've never once regretted saying yes and would do it again in a nanosecond.  I love him even more now than I did that night.

Thanks for looking!
