BROWNIES

So today I made 2 batches of brownies, the first I screwed up badly because I was talking on the phone. MMMM The second is now cooling on the counter waiting for vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. Brownies are one of life's little pleasures!

A kid free night

So, last night was the first night in over 3 years that Michael & I had the house to ourselves, the kids slept over at the Grandparents! We came home after the reunion and were like, what do we do now? To anyone struggling with this situation, leaving the baby, DO IT EARLY! You will thank yourself for leaving them, it frees up time for the hubby and will benefit the kids too!
We are already planning our next night away, down at the Landing for some mild nightlife.(I don't drink alcohol.)
Reunion's and sleepover are one of life's little pleasures!

Also, tonight after a BBQ at my house, I went for a walk and it was dark out and just before I returned home I got to see a shooting star. I love astronomy, wish I could be an astronaut, or build a planetarium, but the little shooting star I saw tonight was such a PLEASURE! Thank you GOD!

10 year!

Last night was our ten year reunion and it was awesome! I had such a great time talking to everyone, many people I ignored when I was in high school. I always thought of myself as a very bitchy student, kinda remember picking people apart and laughing at people who were "devastated" because someone didn't like them. (maybe because due to my family circumstances I realized that they are much more important things in life than your social status in school.)
Anyway, it was a lot of fun, everyone looked so different, I think Michael & I looked pretty much the same, maybe a few pounds heavier, but who wasn't? It was so great to see everyone and hear about their lives and see their pictures. The only thing missing was a group dance scene to a boy band song! (maybe at out 20 year)

10 year reunion?

Wow, tomorrow is our 10 year reunion, and to think that it has been 10 years seems insane. Where was I ten years ago? Lets see, I had just graduated high school and was working at the Mickey Gilley Theatre and starting at College of the Ozarks in the Spring. Michael & I were dating still, also dating other people, but it didn't take Michael long to figure out he couldn't live without me. We bought a house, got married, and had 2 babies in these last 10 years, a very productive and successful 10 years. I am very thankful for the love he showers upon me everyday.

I still have nothing to wear, I want to look super hot, show off the 18 pounds that I have lost in the last few months. Still looking for an outfit to wear that shows off the good curves. I will post of picture of us pre-reunion.

There is something to be said about knowing someone so well. I can look at him and just know when something is wrong or super right, I know what he is thinking and we tend to be thinking the same thing. I am constantly telling him and vice versa, "I was just thinking about that." There are all those horrible mottos, "When 2 become 1", "You are a part of me", "My other half", but I find those all to be true. I am who I am because of the love he gives me, he makes me whole.

In the words of Jerry Maguire, YOU COMPLETE ME MICHAEL BIEDENSTEIN! (cue the music)

So tomorrow when I am alone with my husband, child free for an entire night, the first in 3+ years, I will just be thankful the last 10 years have been so wonderful to us, me and my other half, the one who truly makes my world shine. What a fabulous 10 years.
