This face greeted me this morning. He asked if I would like some shooting lessons- how could I refuse?
Is it wrong to use a wise man from our little people nativity set for a target?

work continues out back, pirates make the best builders
my deep thinker
we took a coke float break, sweet Joey requested chocolate ice cream
I thought that the heat was effecting him but it was crazy good

with DNA from Jamestown and Greenback some redneck/wild man traits were unavoidable:

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