Our anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my sweetheart. We've been married 24 years today which all started on a first date to Disneyland. This year, a dozen red roses, sprinkle cupcakes and a surprise trip to a Scottsdale Resort.

 Love you babe!

Happy Sunday

In honor of our anniversary this month and my daughters one year anniversary yesterday. Enjoy this video. The message is simple but so important to follow to strengthen your marriage.

the ring

Some of you already know the story... While running errands one day I noticed that my center diamond was gone. I back tracked my steps but no luck in finding it. I've been wearing an anniversary band that I got for our 10 year anniversary ever since. It was fine but you know, not a wedding ring.

For Christmas each year Hubs asks for ideas. I usually give him 4 different ideas of things that I'd like and then he chooses. I mentioned that I kinda miss wearing a wedding ring. That's the gift he wanted to give me. Yes!

We went looking together. I decided to get a different style ring. I'm different then I was 22 years ago and was ready for a change. This one has 7 smaller diamonds in a circular shape. 6 to symbolize my 6 children and 1 in the center to symbolize my awesome husband. It reminds me of a flower. Hubs had a hard time understanding my love for receiving flowers. He would say, "They just die" I'd remind him that its the thought that counts. You're thinking of me and want to make me happy. He gets that and has been bringing me flowers often but still they die. Now he's given me a flower that will last. It's perfect.

Oh and I got insurance this time!
