target practice

This face greeted me this morning. He asked if I would like some shooting lessons- how could I refuse?

IMG_3176

Is it wrong to use a wise man from our little people nativity set for a target?

Ms. Dee and the girls were in charge of the end of the year picnic at one of my schools.

IMG_2887

When I walked in and saw the hand stitched quilts and garden cut flowers in Mason jars, well let’s just say it was a Tree Grows in Brooklyn kind of moment

IMG_2890

Being at an inner city school has been a learning curve for this small town/ suburb girl. Ms. Dee made me swoon with her picnic. I told her she was speaking my love language with all the vintage goodness.

The food, decor, live auction, and various festivities made this picnic one to remember. There may have even been a costume contest respite with coconut bras and monkey glasses but I cannot confirm or deny that.

it’s let’s just be friends but I love you

it’s I can’t believe you would date her and I’m crazy jealous but don’t know why

it’s weak knees and a proposal

it’s trading in a motorcycle for an oval cut diamond

it’s rolling pennies and grad school apartments

it’s you getting me through Russian class and afternoon naps

it’s a bullet lodged in a floor joist that’s only funny in retrospect “I hope you didn’t kill Collin”

it’s longing for a home of our own and missing the gift of late nights and late mornings

it’s our first home, walking through Lowe’s holding hands

it’s that dark place and long journey over seas

it’s brokeness and the love that allows me to endure

it’s that first morning we found out we were going to be parents

it’s meeting the wonder that is our daughter and you singing her to sleep

it’s building a house and laying the entire wood floor in a weekend

it’s praying, waiting and holding our healthy son

it’s selling that house while commuting and having two crazy messy little people

it’s moving into a home long prayed for and needing much TLC

it’s hosting that third birthday party with exposed wiring because we just can’t live with a drop ceiling

it’s a text that makes me laugh out loud at work and can you pick up light bulbs and shampoo after work

it’s U2 sound track and date nights that end at nine because we’re just so very tired

it’s you’re on for homework and I’ll do the dishes

it’s that and a million more minuet and wonderful things

the next 50 will be even better…..

happy anniversary sweet, sweet Joey

your love is more than I deserve
