Anniversary

Today would've been our 15 year wedding anniversary...and 22 years together!! It's weird, because I guess you don't count them anymore...but how could I not think of Dec 28th...and not count the years....together or apart, it's hard for me to even believe that this will be my 2nd anniversary without him...I was the luckiest girl ever, to have someone who always thought of me first, treated me like I was the most beautiful woman...that he was lucky to have me!!...yeah right...for someone to still make you laugh...after being together for over 20 years...I know realize that , that was such a gift...that he was a gift..and I was lucky to have been loved by him...it just ended too..early...I wanted more time, I wanted to become nerdy grandparents together......okay I don't want this to be my mood of the day...but just wanted to say Happy anniversary...baby..and just like last year, I plan on staying busy...hitting the gym and then scrappin' all day at Scrappy Chic....I think last year I scrapped with friends too...wanted to finish up my christmas pics.....took this after the kids finally fell asleep...and after Santa arrived...(of course)
and the stockings were hung.....

and then guess what time....I was waken' up by whispers and laughter coming from the living room 4AM<....

that was okay, I know they were excited, and at least this way....I could let them open everything, and then go back to bed.Sommer is lovin' on her favorite gift..her nintendo ds..that she wanted so desperately, and of course it had to be pink!!

I think the girls (and Chris) had a good christmas.....and even though it was a little different this year....I had a good christmas too..

here are some of the gifts I got this year.....I have been wanting a wok...and some choppin' knives....and this cookbook..is so awesome, delicious meals...and very low calorie....

and such cute pink vintagey....frames and stuff...

and mom picked up this adorable "inspire" sign.....for me..

Christmas morning after going back to bed....and then waking up at around 9am..I just felt good....I felt the christmas spirit...I cooked breakfast...and as they piled out of the bedrooms one by one....they were very thankful..to have some eggs,bacon (turkey) and hashbrowns..waiting for them in the kitchen, and as soon as the table was cleared I started on the christmas dinner, I cooked a ham, and a turkey ham for me....some corn bread cassarole, stuffing (got recipe from biggest loser) had turkey sausage, and low cal bread, baked potatoes (instead of mashed) and steamed broccolli and cauliflour instead of green bean cassarole, and of course deviled eggs...and made them low cal too....So I got to eat like a "normal" person....but!!!!!!!!! I did good until it came to having left overs in the fridge!! I have to say....I may have reached my chubby lil' fingers in that fridge one to many times......So if I don't get a loss on monday..I will know the exact moment that made that happen, but I didn't make excuses...and I didn't beat myself up...too..bad!! just hopped back on the program and back on the treadmill...the only good thing about the left over fail...is that at least everything was a healthier version of what I normally would've had in there, but that's not an excuse..I was still out of control, not hungry and just wanting to eat the food cause it tastes good...so the leftovers had to be quickly removed from the building...I'm just not that strong yet!! but once they were gone...I felt so much better and the chickens ate pretty good that day too...Okay enough talking...I will hopefully be posting some scrapbook pages tomorrow....I feel a creative explosion coming on....but usually when I say that I get there.....and all you hear are crickets...in the background....ain't nothing creative....bye!!
