Valentines Day....oops...a bit late!












So, I'm new to the whole blog thing...and I just cannot figure out how you all find the time to stay on top of these things and blog so often! Wow! We've been terribly sick for the last week so I haven't had time to even think about sharing our day with anyone..sorry!
Our day started so sweet. Rex woke up early with me to make breakfast for our little lovies! I'm not super huge into giving gifts on the national day of love...but I won't turn any away either:) So I did stop by that great $1 section of Target that always has little toys the boys want to get and I picked a couple up...and the were a big hit! I also stopped by Vons and picked up Rexs' favorite flowers..tulips...I also found the cutest chocolates for Rex at Target for $2-$3..they were shaped like cigars and the box said "SMOKIN HOT" which of course I just loved! And my sweet gift...that I had asked him for was to NOT spend money, but to help me tend to our outdoor entry/walk way! (it looks beautiful too!!) The topper was I didn't have to do dishes and Rex and the boys made our bed!! I love that they're getting older and are so eager to try to help..and they think it's "fun" not a chore or task!
So I hope everyone else felt all the love that day! Not just from our children and hubbies...but from God who designed and created all of these amazing people to be in our lives! Isn't God so thoughtful. If your family is even half as wonderful and loving as mine is (and I have no doubts they are!!) then I know you felt the love of the Lord as I did and the peace and joy in honoring Him on Valentines Day! We also spent half the morning dancing to the Veggie Tales worship CD, doing a couples Bible Study together and taking a break to sit outside on a chair together and daydream! I'm pretty sure that brings God joy!

waiting and fading...

So it's roughly 1:30 am and I'm just waiting for my sweet hubby to get home from work..I really believe I am married to the most thoughtful and selfless man. Truely! He has ridden his bike to and from work, quite often, for maybe two years now...if you've been to our home, then you know what a feat that is! Not only does it keep him in shape, but it helps our tight budget as well. He has two jobs right now so he works normally noon until 11pm. Which really means he has to leave at 11:30 and he doesn't get home until midnight.. So along with his sacrifice, we do see him less. We (myself and the boys) are so grateful and really blessed by his selfless example and I just wanted to write about how sweet he is and appreciated! Also, this is my first blog... so hello blog world...and goodnight..I'm beat and saw his little bike light coming up our hill! Be blessed as you sleep.
