It's all a dream - exposed brick and wide-open lofts

If I wasn't a happily married woman who loved sharing a quaint cabin-in-the-woods with TheHandyman I would live here.....

Lofts and Exposed Brick Walls **Swoon**

Would you live in a totally different style home if you had the chance? If so what style?

Favorite Things Friday

My favorite things on Friday February 25th -- in Pictures

 So happy we live in the country. 

It's not every day that you see a little lost calf and stop to 

help get it back in the fence with a neighbor.

 The HandyMan  'nuff said!

The new ChickFilA Banana Pudding Milkshake - Seriously it is fantastic!

My LEAST Favorite thing of the day was the $3.75 Diesel 

-- not so fun when your running on empty :(

Thanks go to Lori over at ChicGeekDesigns - I was reading her Happy Things post this morning and loved the idea so much that I decided to do a version of it :)


What are your weekend plans?
I am planning on doing some cleaning tomorrow, then the livestock auction with The HandyMan and 2E's tomorrow night, hopefully some crafting w/ Heather @ TwentySomething  then visiting my Dad and SMom for some family time after Church on Sunday! 


No matter what you do this weekend -- be sure to take some time for Yourself: YOU DESERVE IT!

18 Reasons

To my darling HandyMan,

I did not think it could be possible but my Love for you grows stronger each day. While it is true we were young when we married, God had a plan for us and I know we have only grown stronger together due to his plan. You are my True Love and I have been Blessed beyond measure to share my life with you.

I need to scan our wedding photos but the "then" photo was Prom 1992 -- 1 year prior to the Wedding

There are many many reasons that I LOVE you like I do but in honor of our 18th anniversary today I wanted to highlight a few of them. 

I LOVE you...

1. Because you love me despite my quirks(or maybe because of some)

2. Because you take good care of me.

3. For sharing your life with me.

4. For being a wonderful Dad to the 2E's

5. For always being able to make me smile and laugh.

6. For being the most adventurous person I know.

7. Because you make me feel good about myself.

8. For being a kind and generous husband, friend, and lover.

9. For the way you let me ramble about all sorts of things and you simply listen.

10. The way you hold my hand in the car, at the movies, where ever we are.

11. For always being true to your word.

12. For cheering me up when I'm all bummed out.

13. For always being there for me.

14. For the special things you do for me.

15. Because you believe in me and help me believe in myself.

16. The way we always sit right beside each other at a restaurant.

17. Because these past 18 years have not always been easy but I am glad we have lived them.

18. Because I simply DO!

*mwaaaaah*

I am so happy to celebrate this day with you and look forward to many more AnniversariesI LOVE YOU SO MUCH! :)
