Happy Anniversary

Ronnie and I celebrated our 14th anniversary on October 7th. (Sorry, there's no picture-- I know you're all so disappointed :0 ) He surpised me with a beautiful necklace and earrings to match. We also went out for dinner. We feel so fortunate to have such a happy marriage. We hear of others that are struggling and feel so fortunate and blessed that we are closer and more in love now than we ever have been. I remember thinking when I got married... and even said it out loud- that I didn't think I could ever love Ronnie any more than I did on that day. But as time has passed and children have come, and challenges have come, we feel closer than ever. I know that I have a wonderful husband-- he's very sensitive to my needs and feelings. I trust him 100% . I have truly married my best friend. Love you, honey!

Sparkles

Okay, I know no one but me and my girls care... BUT-- these pictures are cute. We have a fairly new kitten at our house. We've had her for a few months. Her name is Sparkles. The girls took a little Barbie crown and put it on her head and thought it was the funniest thing they ever did to her. The poor cat doesn't get any rest around here. They 'torture' the poor cat to death with all the crazy things they put her through!! Brooke and Brandi especially cannot get enough of Sparkles.

"The Man"

Look what I found!! I found the perfect shirt for Brooke. Ronnie has this on-going joke (that only he thinks is really hilarious) with the girls... they call him "The Man" occassionally at the request of... "The Man". Brooke is the only one that will still comply with this request. Give her a few more years and she'll be like Briana and Brandi: a little older-- and a little wiser. :)
