Garden and random

I have plans for a huge garden this year and my lettuce is already thriving so it looks like a great growing season is on its way. Can't wait!

My Facebook page should have been deleted today. Buh bye Facebook I do not and will not miss you! I can't even believe how many people sent texts asking if they offended me or why I left, since I didn't tell anyone. Life has been so amazingly quiet and whine free. FANTASTIC and so happy I left :)

Only about 2 months of school left to go and our oldest still has perfect attendance 2 years running! So proud girlie :) She has so many opportunities coming her way, including college credits next year. And I think a college major has been decided for now...;)

Its been a busy week but wouldn't want it any other way. Really looking forward to a fun and exciting weekend! Peace out.

Completely

Why do people have such low standards? I could never figure that out. Expect more from yourself and accept less. I guess most people do not see it that way.
We received a beautiful Thank You card from a wonderful friend today. I am so glad you were able to enjoy yourself and you are so welcome. We never had a real honeymoon either and a trip is definitely being planned for our 15th, which is less than 4 months away!
I can't believe 15 years flew by so fast..it doesn't seem possible. There is nobody I would rather spend my life with. He completes my being..my soulmate...love of my life <3

Lil bits of life

During a lengthy conversation with a friend I realized how deeply I love my life and all the people in it. We are so lucky to have two daughters who are growing into two amazing women <3
This friend, who is an incredibly generous and giving person has never been able to conceive. Not even after 4 rounds of fertility drugs.. She asked me if I thought that some people were not meant to have children and I didn't know what to say as to not offend her and her husband...So I simply said your time will come. I do believe that some people are not meant to have kids and that if it is meant to be it will be. BUT she and her DH are so deserving and would make the best parents ever <3 Yesterday she got the call! They are expecting their first child and are quite thrilled :) 
I remember when I found out I was pregnant and so many people were just negative and unaccepting because we were young. After all these years I have no regrets. None at all and that's why I think we continue to thrive together. I know that if the situation was turned and it was my daughter, I would give nothing but love and support like my mother did for me. <3 I am so blessed with incredible parents who have always been strong role models for my sister and I. They have been married for almost 38 years and have always been there for both of us, no matter what the circumstances..no judgment whatsoever. For that I am truly thankful.

Boston <3

Praying for the familes in Boston <3 I just can't even fathom what people are thinking..My own daughter asked me why someone would do such a horrible thing...and I have no answer for her...

Out with the old...

Today was one of those days where I am just glad to be rid of the junk lingering around. I've been in the process of Spring cleaning and what a great feeling to be rid of this crap :)

LOVE THE RAIN! :D

"If you're too busy to help those around you succeed, you're too busy."

Busy Summer Approaching :)

The average person checks Facebook 14 times a day! I have decided to get rid of my page completely. There are people and things in my life that I would rather spend my time with. As summer approaches, my garden needs me, my kids will finally get a well deserved break, we will be celebrating our 15th Anniversary and our latest home improvement project will take up a huge chunk of our time! Donna has quite a few new ventures of her own coming up...
So for those reading or following my blog please know that it will not be as easy to get a hold of us unless you have the digits. <3
