Anniversary

I've struggled with this post the last couple days....Hubby and I celebrated 18 years of marriage on August 21 and I wanted to say something....just a little something as to how much I love my awesome husband. But words could not really describe just how much I love him and am thankful to have him as my husband. So I turned to music (like always)....

God Gave Me You
by Blake Shelton

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

There's more here than what we feel
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely, can somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
On my own, I'm only half of what I could be
I can't do without you

We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I could never undo
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
Gave me you

Mojo

I am supremely happy to announce that I do believe my crafting and sewing mojo has finally returned!!! I spent the weekend making all sorts of wonderful things....

The first skirt for my stepmom - I'm making her a total of 6 skirts and 6 dresses for her mission. Her first dress is also half done....won't that fabric be perfect for Fiji?

Another one of my all time shirts to make...my favorite Built by Wendy pattern. I wore it to work today with a nice pair of black slacks...

Pajama pants for me and Miss S....


And my new menu board...I love how you can see my reflection in the glass:) I ordered the vinyl from Say It On The Wall (see that new little box on my sideline), picked out an awesome frame at Hobby Lobby and used some of my favorite Amy Butler paper. I LOVE IT!! It looks beautiful hanging in the kitchen and it already all filled out with our dinners for this week. ..

First Day

Today was the BIG day....Miss S's first day of FIFTH grade!!!!

She is such a little rock star....she had a complete meltdown last night because I told her she had to wear a white tank top underneath her top. I mean serious breakdown. But then this morning she came out with the white tank top on without a word of protest. She had a fantastic day at school and is having fun getting to know her teacher and the other kids in her class.

Sorry about the blurry pics - I left my camera with Miss S while she was in TX and I think she messed up some of the settings.
