Feeling Thankful!

6/23/2012

No matter if I like it or not,
time just seems to go faster and faster!

After waiting almost six months for a home, 
we finally closed escrow yesterday and are officially
HOMEOWNERS!!!

We definitely didn't think we would own a home at this point in our lives,
but we are so thankful for this new chapter.
I don't know what it is about some wood, paint, and a roof that makes a home so special,
but just knowing that it's ours and that our kids are going to grow up in it, is a great feeling.
Oh, and the fact that we can finally paint and do whatever we want to it is fun (and slightly overwhelming) too!

Today is one of the easier days to praise God.
I have a great man in my life (he is currently at our new place putting up paint samples and installing baby locks on all of the kitchen cabinets).
Our girls are happy and healthy (even though they've also learned certain ways to push my buttons over and over again...).
We paid off one of Matt's student loans and our car.
We had a fun little shopping trip to Home Depot to get a few things for the house.
We get to look forward to moving in two weeks!

I pray that I can remember all of the blessings He's given me when life isn't so great, and when it gets really hard.  And know that no matter what happens in life, I always have Him and that's more than enough.

Now I have to share some pictures!

 My silly girls.

 My pretty girls.

In front of our new home!!! :)

10 Years!

6/05/2012
Today is our 10 year dating anniversary... TEN years!
It's hard to believe that we started dating when we were barely 15...
on Matt's 15th birthday in fact!
(Happy birthday by the way Babe!)

So... here are some things I remember about that day:
June 5, 2002

  • Matt was walking me to my first class of the day.  Since we had been hanging out, and since Matt had had a crush on me for over a year, and since I had fallen for him too, and since I had no idea what to get him for his birthday... I decided to give him my love.  Ha ha!  So he gave me a hug before class and I said, "I think I'm ready."  And he said, "For what?"  Silly boy just wanted to hear me say it.  So I said, "I'm ready to go out with you."  Ha!  Ha ha ha...
  • I was wearing Matt's blue track sweatshirt that had his last name printed on the back.  One of my teachers asked me what "Ditty" meant.  I told her it was my boyfriend's last name.  She said, "Oh.  I thought it was your nickname.  Because you're such an itty bitty Ditty!"  I think she was a prophet or something.

The rest of the day was kind of a blur, considering I was love struck and it was 10 years ago.  But these sweet memories are something I will always cherish. 
Love you Babycakes! :)
