Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Well to start out today was my Birthday. Happy Birthday to me. I am not nor have I ever been too big on b-day's. To me it is pretty much just another day. I haven't even mentioned it to anyone who doesn't already know. I am actually even a little embarrassed that I am even mentioning it here. I went to work Friday and not a single person knew so did not get a single happy birthday there. BOO HOO I know. I am so lucky to have such a sweet husband. When he asked me what I wanted I said I would just like to sleep in. Well he granted me that wish. He got the boys up and fed their breakfast and then made me breakfast in bed. It was so good. For my gift I really need some new summer clothes so Gary sent me out shopping while he stayed home with B and P. I don't really like to go shopping and have a really hard time finding things. I hate spending money on clothes. I look at the tag and can not believe how much they can charge for a little T-shirt. Anyway I did find a few things so thanks to Gary for the shopping spree and the alone time. Gary also took me out for dinner and we were able to get a baby sitter so that was nice not to have to worry about the boys and we could have some alone time together. That does not happen much anymore. Thanks to everyone who called, sent cards and money(mom, grandma, and Jean). Since it is my b-day I decided I would share a few pictures of myself from the past. Man how the years have flown by.

Here is me as a baby with my mom.

I am not quite sure how old I am here. I am thinking maybe 9 or 10.

This was my Sophomore year in High School.

This was my Junior year of High School.

This was my Senior year of High School.

This was one of my favorite bridal pictures.



Anyway I also got tagged by a couple people, my sister, Erin, and my sister-in-law, Laurie. I have not answered either of them so I though I might tonight and maybe you can get to know me a little better. This is the tag Erin did. I thought it was a little easier as it has questions for you so sorry Laurie. Maybe later I will get to yours. That one takes too much thought for right now. Well here it goes:

What is his name? Gary
How long did you date? For just over a year.
How long have you been married? 8 1/2 years
Who is taller? Gary
Who eats more? I eat more through out the day. Gary eats more at meal times.
Who is the better singer? Gary. He doesn't think he can sing good. But he can. I love to sing and so I sing out pretty loud at church, in the car at home. I probably shouldn't though. I think I am continuously off key. I should be the one at church who just mouths the words and pretends like I am singing.
Who does the laundry? I usually do but every now and then Gary will do a load or two. I usually end up folding it though which is the worst part.
Who pays the bills? Gary does.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. I can't stand the other side of the bed. Sometimes when we go out of town Gary likes to take that side of the bed. He says that's when it is his turn to have it.
Who mows the lawn? Gary does. I don't mind doing it but he is always good to do it. Which I appreciate so much.
Who cooks dinner? I do. But I am not very good at doing it so probably 50% of the time he has cereal for dinner. Sad huh.
Who drives? Gary. Even though most the time he scares me to death.
Who is more stubborn? I think I am. Gary is pretty easy going.
Who kissed who first? Gary did. It took him a little while to work up the courage but I refused to make the first move.
Who asked who out? I think he asked me out. Again I refused to do be the one to make the first move.
Who proposed? Gary did.
Who is more sensitive? Definitely me. I cry over about anything. I think it drives Gary a little crazy but I am a cry baby.
Who has more siblings? Gary. He has 1 sister and 3 brothers. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother.
Who wears the pants? I would like to say I do but I am not sure. We usually make out decisions together.

Well I will quite rambling for one day. Sorry this kind of turned into a long post but I am bored and not quite ready to go to bed. Hopefully I haven't bored any of you too much but I guess if I have you don't have to look. I was just reflecting today on all the years that have gone by. A little sad as I think about it. But these are the best times of my life. I don't think I have ever been happier. I have a wonderful, loving husband and two handsome boys. What more could I ask for.
