Happy Monday, faithful friends! I trust you’ve all had a productive and long lasting weekend and are ready to tackle this week {or at the very least, at least prepared to start the week.} My weekend was a pretty tame one. There was bowling on Friday, lots of snow {sigh}, dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant Patron, a birthday lunch for my sister {Happy 28th, Nikki!}, and food prep, grocery shopping, laundry, etc. Just like every other weekend I tell you about. I’m just an old bore, but at least I’m switching it up this weekend and going to the lake! It should be a nice change in pace for us.
I don’t know
about you, but I’ve been a little stir crazy lately. I’m tired of being cooped
up inside, freezing cold, and I’m ready for some spring weather and green
grass. I want to bust out my chacos and start working on the landscaping at the
new house.
In other news,
the Olympics have been extremely fun to watch with Charles. We are having a
blast watching and cheering on Team USA! I really enjoy the figure skating,
snowboarding, and the luge.
Short but Sweet
photo recap!
Bowling Friday night! "Alleys at the Alley" :)
Boy shoes vs. Girl shoes
Snow Angels! My dogs ran outside when we were making them so I had to catch her and let her help me make the snow angel. Yes, more snow...
What's your sister's birthday without a deliciously fruity beverage?!
Colder weather calls for yummy K-Cup inserts. Here's our latest obsession, Gloria Jena's "Mudslide!"
We heard the
news this morning about a friend who passed away. My brother in law’s best
friend lost his wife and unborn child due to a horrible case of H1N1. What
words can I say except for it’s absolutely heartbreaking, but they have gone to
a far better place, and comfort should be taken in that.
So often we take
for granted the people in our life and we focus too much on material items. When
situations like this happen, it is an ever present reminder that we need to
focus on the important things in our life, our loved ones.
When
you get home from a long day at work, give your loved one a hug and a kiss. Ask them how their day was. And here’s
the kicker: Listen to them when they’re
speaking to you. Don’t get too busy for the most important things and
people in your life. You never know when they will get taken away from you, and
it always seems to be too soon.
When
I see my husband {ok, and the fur babies} at the end of a long day, all I can
think is “what a sight for sore eyes..” I hear people talk about how they can’t
wait for their significant others to go out of town because they want to spend
time without them, or wanting to do separate things at night because they need
their “alone time.” Well I for one have different priorities. I don’t want to
go out of town and leave my husband behind. I don’t want to spend evenings away
from my husband. If my husband wants to go to a sports bar and watch football
with a few of his buddies, he always invited me, and I always say yes {unless I’m
ill} because if he’s interested, I want to be interested as well, and even if I’m
not interested in what he is {cough, watching golf on tv…how boring is that}, I’ll
still do it just to spend quality time with him.
People
can go at any second. I don’t know what I would do without my loved ones,
especially my husband. So go the extra mile, say I love you, and say you’re
sorry first.
I
will make it my mission each and every day of my marriage to not waste the
moments that in the future I’ll want back.
“May the Angels
lead you into paradise; may the martyrs greet you at your arrival and lead you
into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of Angels greet you and like
Lazarus, who once was a poor man, may you have eternal rest”
Rest in Peace
Leslie Creekmore
