MEMORIES

Hello all! My wonderful husband and I shared our 11th wedding anniversary on January 3rd! I am so in love with him that I get butterflies in my belly when I think of him!!! Each year has gotten better & better. During the last few days we have revisited a lot of memories. Then this morning I was reading on a homeschool newsletter I get and I read this saying and wanted to share it here.
"Life is not a race; it is a dance. Take the time to hear the music, to dance with someone you love, and to enjoy the moment for all that it's worth."
It took me a few years to get this but I now get it. I think it was around the time I found out I was pregnant with my little Nathan a little over 2 years ago. Before that I seemed to stress over things that really didn't matter. Like all the dishes being done all the time or the floors being clean all the time or the laundry being caught up all the time...............you see my pattern here. I realized really quick that I couldn't do everything all the time! With 3 children ages 6, 2 and newborn it was impossible to get all the "things" done that I needed to and spend quality time with my 3 little ones.
I am not saying never clean your house- I am saying have a plan, do what you can, hear the music and enjoy the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I left you a comment and my computer wigged out on me and I don't think it went through. So, you may get one comment, maybe two, from me! Anyway, you and George are so sweet and I'm so happy for both of you on 11 years. Thanks for shopping with me ;0)

Sorry for these belated wishes, but Happy Anniversary!! You & George are too sweet together and are a good example of a Godly family. The two of you should always continue to 'dance' together, the music will be there!
