First Anniversary

One year ago today, I said 'I do' to my beloved husband.  It's been a roller coaster year on many fronts. 

I remember being so nervous I wanted to run.  I didn't and I said I do and I will.  Forever, I will until the end of my days I will.  I will love him for always.  In good times and in bad, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health...  Kevin is my beloved, my compliment, my "other half" and my lover.

Happy 1st Anniversary my dear heart husband! I love you!

Painful times

I think I was violated and exploited at the gas pumps today! Thankfully, I didn't need a full tank of gas at $3.39 per gallon and that was the cheap place, it's $3.45 at most of the stations around town. I can't believe how bad the prices have gotten.

Still I am thankful, for a good job to pay for my gas needs and a car that decent on gas, even around town! It's the little things... count your blessings!

Tax time... and the little things

Well that was painful, had my taxes prepared! The gal who did them was wonderful, but it was stressful and painful on the wallet to have them done. Guess that's what I get for having many complexities and challenges this year. Well, it's done and over and now we wait, will they be accepted by the Federal and state governments? When will I get my refunds? Will it be as prepared? Like I said numerous challenges!

The upside to today... it was bright and sunny, not too cold and I received my knitting needle holder in the mail when I got home!!! So beautiful! Ahhh...the little things in life

Life moves on..

Amazing, wow! How can I summarize the past over 2 years?
