Happy Anniversary

A little late, but I think it noteworthy to say that my husband and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary on January 1.

Not bad for high school sweethearts. I just wish we knew then what we know now. Things might have been easier but then again, learning things the hard way seems to be the best way to not forget.

My husband was and is my first and only love. I have known him now for 17 years. Meeting when I was just 14 years old, I couldn't have imagined what was to come. Knowing someone for that long is an amazing and interesting thing. I can't remember my life before him and I don't want to imagine my life without him. He has given me three beautiful children and a lifetime of memories already. He has been a constant in my life when other things weren't.

Thank you for 14 years of loving me. I love you B.

Holidays

So.....if I just pretend that it hasn't been over a month since I last posted, could we just skip the part that says I suck, and the part that says I didn't stick to it, and the part that says my life has been chaos. I can? Good.

Moving on. Holidays were great. Went to Texas to be with my brother-in-law, his wife and little girl. We had a fantastic time. Kids got lots for Christmas and had a blast playing with their uncle's new Wii. I know where our next available $250 will be going. If I can swing it, I must post a video of my 4 year old, Sarah, bowling on this thing. Too funny! She would swing her arm and then when she would let go of the "ball" she did this little kick with her foot. I giggled every time she did it. Gracie, apparently will be the next Laila Ali. She took down like 10 guys in the boxing game.

Of course it wouldn't be Christmas without a little "Gerard Factor." Gracie got a digital camera/camcorder for Christmas and it was DOA. We put 2 different sets of batteries in it, and nothing. We ended up having to go to Circuit City to buy a new one the day after Christmas.

Hubby got me a new camcorder and surprised me with a #10 Titans jersey. Go Titans!!!! Sidenote: We made it to the play-offs, hope we kick the Chargers asses this weekend. Go Titans!!!.

I also learned that you can't get away from your problems, even if you are 800 miles away from them. They have cell phones, and they have your number.
