A Match Made By God...Happy 3rd Anniversary, Jeffrey!

I remember the day that God told me Jeff was the one for me. How exciting. Learning and growing together has been so much fun. I could not have been given a more perfect match.

Remember how we used to make lists of what we wanted in a future mate? God gave me everything on my list and some!

I am so amazed at how much Jeff has grown in the Lord and how much we've grown as a couple just over the last year. Last year was our best year yet, and this year is going to be even better!!! I am so blessed and happy that we continue to grow further together. He has shown me the true meaning of unconditional love and support. He still opens every door for me and always prefers me. He has shown me how to loosen up and not sweat the small stuff. Thanks, Jeff, for showing me that having a few drops of water on the bathroom counter is ok. Thank you for not getting upset if the house is messier when you get home from work than it was when you left for work. Thank you for not putting expectations on me and just for loving me the way I am. Thank you for always taking out the garbage without being asked. Thank you for doing the dishes the many times you do while I sit there and play with Ethan. I am sure you would rather be playing with Ethan. Thank you for always helping me when I ask for your help. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for being such a great Daddy and Husband. You have taught me that relationships are too important to get upset with eachother about little things. At the end of the day, we always know that we love eachother no matter what, and that's what I love about you.

Happy Anniversary to the one love of my life, Jeffrey.

Today is a GORGEOUS day...just as gorgeous as it was on our wedding day. Today truly reminds me of the day we promised to keep God first in our marriage and stick with eachother through everything. What a perfect day.

Flowers Galore!

I've been living and breathing flowers lately. A big wedding and a convention on the same day this week. Yikes. I spent the whole day doing convention flowers. All day yesterday doing wedding corsages and boutonnieres...and tomorrow is all the bridal bouquets and reception pieces.
Jeff and I are also working on the boats tomorrow night for our first charter of this season...! AND, it just so happens to be that our group is NatureRich! So Jeff and I will be working while my family and NatureRich business people are enjoying the cruise. I guess I'm excited that we get to work it with people we know. That should be fun. The wedding is on Saturday (my biggest wedding flower order as of yet). Then Saturday night the convention awards dinner...I wonder what dress I shall wear. I'm tired. I need sleep. I pick up another $300 worth of flowers bright and early tomorrow morning (well in like 6 hours). Long couple o days ahead of me. I'm just winding down from today right now...so journaling helps. Ok, night!

I can breathe again.

::Sigh::
Last week was crazy...40 hours of school, plus packing everything for Ethan everyday and coming home and doing house work and also coaching cheerleading, and also working on my floral design business and also finishing making jewelry for the craft show that was on Saturday and Sunday...I really don't know how those moms that work a full time job do it...taking care of everything else adds up to so much. I feel like I could barely even catch my breath. And, now, I can. Kind of. Except now I'm playing catch up. I'm on my 4th load of laundry today! I ordered all the flowers for a wedding I'm doing next Saturday, cleaned, and coached cheerleading today. But it didn't feel as busy as last week. Those classes sure wear me out!
Here are a few pics from class...














These are a couple of examples of what a flower girl could/would carry...















This is like a cake top...



















































And then, on Saturday night, we got together with a bunch of couples from Driven Senior High and watched live horse racing at Canterbury Park in Shakopee and also watched the Kentucky Derby on the big screens (Hence, the big hats and dressing up)...















And after that we went to Biaggi's for Dinner (Still all dressed up)
