Together 8 years… Married for 2 Years! Happy Anniversary to the love of my life Scott :).

It all started here on the blog and then a year later I blogged about how could we honestly make it through that first year? Now, here we are January 2010 and I have to say the 2nd year of marriage ROCKED. We had the best year.

Random Thoughts of 2 Years of Marriage

We are much cuter since we are carrying around less pounds now 😉

We still had our tiffs, but we didn’t let it stop us from still showing our love for each other 😉

He is really my best friend!

We can so tell when we are pushing each other’s buttons, and will give each other that smirk 😉

He has made me into a huge coffee drinker 😉

He will have coffee waiting for me in the mornings!

He is such a great hands on daddy that loves taking the girls to Chick-Fil-A 😉

He is so humorous and sometimes he can be over the top but I still love him 😉

He hates talking on the phone!

He loves Fox News 😉

He hates when I let the gas get to right on empty 😉

He loves to do laundry (haha or maybe he just wants clean clothes to wear!)

He is my biggest fan with my work 😉

He builds my self-esteem up so much since I don’t think I’m all that 😉

He loves God and shares his faith openly!

He loves to sneak up behind me and give me the biggest hug (heart melts)

He loves to drive (thank goodness since I love to travel)

He loves to surprise me with my special foods!

He LOVES my cooking 😉

But Most Important: He LOVES me and our girls!

Happy Anniversary Scott. What, Where and How will our 3rd year of marriage will bring us? I for one, cannot wait to find out.

I love you Honey Bunny (he so hates me calling him that). Here’s to an awesome year :::cheers:::

Celebration of a Year

Photobucket

It has been one year since we said “I Do’s” forever.

We have been together for 7 years and I will say this last year has been the absolutely hardest year of our lives. I made the comment last night, that since we survived this last year, we will make it through anything now.

  • 3 Months of living 3 states apart.
  • 6 Months of living with my parents – his In Laws.
  • His awful car accident that God brought him through.
  • 4 Months of being out of work with no income.
  • Moving into a great home only to have to move out 3 months later due to hubbs being out of work.

It’s been a year… and I will be honest and say there were fights along the way. If it wasn’t for our great love between us and the good Lord up above, I don’t even know how we would have survived. Now you know why I was so glad to see 2008 GO.

I do love hubbs very much and so thankful for the two beautiful girls we have together. I am so excited to make this year the best year of marriage instead of the hardest. We are finally moving into our own home in two weeks and I cannot wait.

  • Thank you my love for being “You”.
  • Thank you for being there to pick me up when I am having a bad day.
  • Thank you for getting in the floor to play multiple board games with the girls.
  • Thank you for putting up with my mood swings.
  • Thank you for pulling for me through this weight loss.
  • Thank you for keeping us sane in living with my parents through the last year.
  • Thank you for providing for us.
  • Thank you for your loving and compassion you give to us all as a family.

Here’s to many more years together. I love you so much!!!

My Heart Is Heavy Tonight

I just put my oldest daughter to bed. I just tucked her in and kissed her. I told her I loved her. I rubbed her forehead. This is the last time I tuck her to bed as a non-schooler. She starts her very first day of kindergarten tomorrow morning. I don’t want her to go. I am going to miss her soooo much. That is my little girl and now she will be gone all day everyday during the week. 🙁

Also as if that wasn’t enough to send my emotions all out of wack, hubbs has his tests tomorrow on his heart so we can get to the bottom of what happened with his heart on his accident Friday. I am worried of what they will find, but yet I want answers so we can take care of this and get him healthy. Its way too soon to let him go, and I will do all I can do to get him healthy with his heart.

As tears fill my eyes, and my heart is so heavy…. I will be going to bed soon to get up and face a Monday emotional day :(.

I Will Never Forget 8/08/08

A day that will be forever etched in my mind.

Scott was in a car accident yesterday on his way to work. We are so thankful he is alive and he definitely had some guardian angels looking after him. I keep telling him it was his mom and dad and God.

Yesterday morning on his way to work about 6:30am, he was driving up the hill and got to the top of the hill. He began feeling faint but thought he could make it to the stop sign to pull off the road. That is the last thing he remembers. When he came back to and alert, he had nose dived his car down an embankment and flipped the car. The car landed upside down on the driver’s side.

I had just woke up and came to my desk to work for the day. I heard someone knocking really hard on our front door, it was my mom. They had contacted her because that is the phone number they could find. I swooped up the girls and fled to the hospital. I walked in and we caught eyes and I immediately hugged and kissed him.

He had to stay in the hospital because his cardiac enzymes came back elevated, so it could have been a mild heart attack that made him black out and loose control of his car.

You can see the pictures I uploaded, and I don’t even think the pictures does any justice of just how bad the car is.

He is very lucky to be alive and no I’m not even going to say its luck, he had guardian angels looking after him. God has a purpose for him on this Earth and I’m so glad God kept him here and didn’t take him away from us. It has really made me do a lot of thinking the past couple of days. All the what-ifs keep running through my mind. What if God took him yesterday morning and not let him live? That is my husband, that is the daddy of my girls….I had been fussing at him the last couple of weeks because he had been coming straight in from work and just collapsing on the couch and sleeping. Here I thought it was laziness, and obviously it was his heart trying to give him a warning sign.

Both of his parents died young of massive heart attacks. I didn’t even get to meet them, so he does need to take pre-cautions. The cardiologist said this was your wake-up call Scott. It was also a wake-up call for me. I could be without him right now, I will never take another day granted with him. I will live each day to the fullest with him. I will not sweat the small stuff with him and argue over the stupid stuff. We will embrace life and enjoy our girls.

Thank you so much Lord for letting me have more time with him. Thank you for having your hands over him during the accident.

They are doing more testing on Monday morning at the Heart clinic so we can get answers of the damage that was done to his heart. I am very anxious and so worried but I know with God on our side that we are going to get through this. I have did my fair share of crying, because all the what ifs running through my mind. I am just so happy he is here with us today and for that I am going to REJOICE!

A Man After My Own Heart

I always thought Scott was on board with me over the past couple years of going green and buying organic. What he did this weekend, just summed it up that he does take this true to his heart.

He surprised the girls with shirts from his business trip to Iowa. When he showed me the shirts, I immediately jumped up and hugged him.

It was a Mutt’s Organic shirt.

This shirt is so incredibly soft too, so I am going to see if I can find some more for the girls around here in NC or on the web.

Not too mention they also are sooooo cute. Needless to say the girls were highly impressed with their daddy’s surprise.

I know we have been together over 6 years, but I got those butterflies in my tummy again just seeing what he is doing for our girls and trying to help me with this organic living. It helps to have support here in the house and so happy he wants the best for our girls as well.

You know its the little things that can make you fall in love all over again with your hubbs :). Have I mentioned I’m oh so happy to have him home?
