Still Crazy....

about you after all these years!! It's hard to believe that we are celebrating our 29th Anniversary today! Thanks for loving me like you do! I love you honey! Happy Anniversary! xoxoxo

It's beginning to look a lot like....

Christmas! I was so good at posting last month and now this month I seem to have fallen off the "posting wagon"! So I decided to post something quick here so I can get back on the horse so to speak. I've been working on my December Daily album....trying to come up with clever and meaningful ways to document our December. This photo is one of my Christmas mugs....when Jeremy was a little boy it was his favorite because it had a train on it. So since he isn't home this Christmas I wanted to document this memory. I've also been playing with my camera....I actually took this photo in aperature mode...I also played with it over at http://www.picnik.com/ and gave it some neat effects...so I am learning. I am trying to look find the little things that make our holiday special...little things like this mug.

One More Grateful Post....

before the month ends.....I can't honestly finish out this month of being grateful without posting a few photos from today. Pictured below is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law Sandi and Gary. Gary, has been working at Disneyland....today he took us there for a day of holiday fun. I am grateful for family and the fact that Gary shared his "work" with us. The place was beautifully decorated and was a wonderful place to kick off the holiday season. I am really in a festive mood now. Thanks Gary for sharing the Disney holiday spirit with us.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle looked breath taking drenched in beautiful wintery icicle lights.

Family, Friends and Food

What a fun day this has been. I am so grateful for family, friends and great food.

For a Good Cause

I came across this thread over at A Million Memories I decided I wanted to help get the word out so I am posting a link here...Michelle over at AMM is such a sweet girl and I am grateful to her for her wonderful scrappy site and for her generous heart...she is an inspiration to me. Thanks Michelle. http://www.amillionmemories.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=30916&p=1

My Friend

Today I am grateful for my sweet wonderful friend and hair stylist Stephanie Wilde. She started cutting my hair 16 months ago. I have known Steph since she was an infant, we have been friends with her family forever...so when I was looking for someone new to cut my hair, her Mom suggested I try her out. I was looking for a new style but didn't know what.....Stephanie figured it out for me and my hair has been getting better and better with every hair cut. Thanks Steph, for making me feel so great about my hair. I truly am grateful for your expertise and talent! If anyone reading this is close to Huntington Beach, CA and wants to contact Stephanie for an appointment she works at Salon Amibance 714-846-5900

Catching Up

Ok....I fell behind yesterday so I am posting two photos today. Today I am grateful for Jason and his wonderful sense of humor and the fact that we spent sometime running errands today. We went into Lowes and right by the front door were all of these Musical Christmas Toys....we had so much fun playing them....they made me laugh.....some of them were scary but others were really funny. I couldn't help but get out my phone and take a picture of this little guy. If I knew where we could put him where Riley wouldn't eat him or bark at him he might have come home with us....Thanks Jase for spending time with your Mom and making me smile. I am so grateful for YOU!
