Happiness is...

...being married to a wonderful man that loves you for who you are and adores everything you do. Today marks the day that I have been married for 9 years. Happy Anniversary, darling. ;) This is the card I made for him: Next up, my Jingle Belles card for the week! This week, we needed to follow a recipe: white, a present, a bow or knot, and traditional Christmas colors. Here is my card: I know, there isn't a present. I forgot to add that. Pink isn't a traditional Christmas color? It is in my house- pink is a traditional color for every holiday. I added some white crochet lace trim and there is a bow tied around the jeweled branches. Some recipes aren't meant to be followed exactly how there are written. :) I thought I better share a layout today or you guys might think I'm a big tease. So, here's a simple one that I cranked out lickety split! It's not too hard to make a layout when you have adorable pictures to work with! This is Elan on his fourth birthday, this past February 2. Stay tuned... much more to share! I finally got all my projects and layouts photographed and uploaded today. Yay!

8 Years...

It's my anniversary... married 8 years and it seems to have gone by so fast! I laugh when people ask how we met because I was the one to ask him out first, and then about a dozen more times after that before he actually asked me out. I set eyes on him and said to myself, "that's the one I'm going to marry." And I did. And he is great. Everything I could ever want or imagine in a person, I have found in him. He is my balance, my rock, and my comic relief.

Isn't he handsome? Sometimes, I can't believe he's mine! Not only did he marry me, but he gave me 3 beautiful, healthy children that he loves and adores...

The little one looks like me, but acts like Stephen! Life is so good... Happy Anniversary, honey!
