Can you find her?

Can you figure out which one is the real doll?

Thankful Thursday...Valentine's Edition

Here he is...

My Valentine

Even more handsome today than he was on our wedding day. And that was pretty hard to improve upon.

You see the look in my young eyes? Yup...it's still there. I can't believe he is all mine.

Thank you Lord!

Happy Valentine's Day baby.

Wednesday Wonders

I wonder what in the world makes him think our bed belongs to him and him alone. He has no idea he is a D.O.G.! You can't tell it from this picture of course, but everday after I make the bed, J.R. will jump up on it and knock the pillows all the way down until he is pleased and will lay his head right in the middle of the pillow. Like a human. Happy to have "his" bed to himself once more.

But, what would life be like without our dog-humans?

Life, People and Jonah's Whale

I actually answered this question last week and was very pleased with how my answer turned out...but, I don't know what happened to it. I guess I accidentally deleted it. Don'tcha hate that?

So, here goes again.

Anonymous asked "If you could be or live anywhere else than where you are now, where would it be and why?"

Okay, so you aren't gonna be too impressed with this answer, but it's the stinkin' honest truth. I wouldn't want to be or live anywhere else. You see, if that was the case, then I wouldn't have the life that I have been blessed with. My family would not be close, my friends would be different, my church would be different. I just cannot imagine that at this point in my life.

(Awwh man! This isn't coming out as wonderfully as it did before my crazy self deleted it!)

I am and have always been a dependent person - depending on my husband, my parents, my friends for so much. Nothing in particular, but for everything! I can't go through one day without touching base with my "people" and just knowing they are there. My "people" are those that know me best and still enjoy my company. Uh that must be love.

I wouldn't have my "people" if I were somewhere else and that is just depressing.

But...if I win the lottery that I don't play and decide to purchase a little getaway on a cozy little quiet beach surrounded by palm trees and hammocks where I can fly to on my jet anytime I very well please and (pretend that I am not a red head with casper-like, milky white skin) and tan my tush while the island music plays in the background and my yacht awaits me in the gorgeous blue water so that I can hop on it and ride around in the shallow end so that I am safe from Jonah's whale...whew I'm tired.) Was that just a little bit of a long sentence?

Then, I guess I'd like to be there. But, not for long. Unless my "people" are in the surrounding hammocks.

But, who needs all of that when my mansion is under construction. And my builder? Oh man, He's the best!

Loving Chatter

We finished brushing E's teeth this morning and fixing her hair and she grabbed me, layed her head on my shoulder and said,

"Mommy, you my hewo."

I thanked her and then asked her if she knew what that meant and she said, "Well, um, you my heawt (heart)."

She has no idea what a hero is yet, but I'm glad to know I'm hers. :o)

Man I'm a Slacker! (Winners)

I know I told you that I would announce the winners for my bloggy giveaways on Friday...but before I knew it the weekend was gone. Another has begun...and there are still 2 of you out there that have no clue you've won this great stuff!

Well, now you do!

The winner of my Giveaway #1 is I Was Just Thinking. She gets her choice of this.

The winner of Giveaway #2 is GoalMom (no blog link). She gets her choice of this.

Congratulations to both of you. I know you will certainly enjoy what you've won!

I will be emailing you soon. I must say that with a whopping 307 entries...I was a bit floored. It was way to hard for me to pick myself...so I used the random number generator over at Random.org. That made it easy.

That site is pretty nifty.

Thanks again everyone for making this giveaway fun for me! Looking forward to doing it again in the Spring.

My giveaways are here and here and will be open until Friday, Feb. 1st. Please feel free to enter, but only once to each one please.
