A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.-- Anonymous

i am grateful for my friend lisa. i tend to laugh out loud a lot when i am with her, mostly at our husbands. there are few friends i can curl up and enjoy life with. i love that she loves me in my t shirt and jeans, and i love her in her pearls and sparkles. and i love that she has such clean a bathroom. if you are sick and need to lay face down on a bathroom floor... pick hers. not only is it amazingly beautiful, it is spick and span. thank you lisa... ILOVEYOU

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

this is my overdue valentine's post...
my sweet girls...
we fill baskets for each holiday, not just easter. so that is always the exciting part of the morning. our holiday fairies tend to always create a mess. the valentine's fairy leaves red and pink "fairy dust" from the baskets to the window. she is not as messy as the tooth fairy, who spreads her fairy dust under the pillow, on the bed, and all the way to the window. sheesh... it is hard to clean up, but well worth it. even now, when the girls are older...they still love it.
we try to cook everything into a heart shape. put red food coloring in as much as we can. and delight in each other!
my sexy husband...
we have become more and more in love as the years move forward. we have also decided to celebrate that love through out the year, not just on feb. 14. he is so great about bring home fresh cut daisies, my favorite. bring home a new pair of shoes for me, or now that we are broke, he will put up the laundry, scratch my back, play with my hair, and always leave me notes on the bathroom mirror. as far as loving him...well, we all know what guys like.
love. love. love. XOXOXOXOXOX

A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent.

yesterday i had coffee with a great friend.
there is something about being in community with like minded people. i love the safeness that comes with being around good friends. i love that you might not get the chance to talk all the time, but when you do it is precious. i love that encouragement can make you feel on top of the world. i love accountability and the depth of love that comes with that. we should always want the best for each other, laugh together, cry together, be mad together. hold tight to the relationships that we have been blessed with. they are not always convenient. they shouldn't always require too much. everyone is busy, everyone has something else to do. but everyone needs to sit down with an old friend and have some coffee. life is too short. hold tight to the ones who love you, they will be the ones to pick you up when you fall.
