Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Happy couples kiss?



 
 He was in the garage.
I was in the house.
It was late,
but he wanted to finish,
and I did too.
He had the radio to keep him company.
John Tesh.
Have you heard Intelligence for your Life?
Jeff did,
he kissed me this morning and shared his new intelligence.
 
From John Tesh radio:
If you’ve resolved to improve your marriage – start here: kiss your spouse. According to marriage therapist Dr. Laura Berman, when couples come into her office and say their relationship is tanking, the first thing she asks them is, “When was the last time you really kissed?” Most people will say, “We don’t.” Dr. Berman’s prescription for a better marriage – kiss your spouse every day and hold that kiss for at least 15 seconds. Know this – nine out of 10 people in happy marriages kiss their partner goodbye before work, and kiss them good night before bed. 
 
  I asked if he wanted me to count or if he was keeping track.
(Its fun to smile while kissing by the way.)
We decided we wouldn't have to count.
Later I figured Yankee Doodle took about 15 seconds.
I'll sing it in my head
  if kissing ever becomes a chore.
Ha.

  2. Love this.

    I admire your relationship with Jeff from afar.

    And your new header is great. I want to do something to jazz up my blog, but I'm really not all that exciting so I'm not sure what I'd do.

  3. Thanks!!!! I've been wanting to make some changes and blogger is so than it was back in 2006 when I started blogging.
    Elizabeth,
    I can't wait to get together and hang out with you and Scott, so you can meet Jeff. I'm hoping that the our husbands will hit it off. I was telling Jeff about your love story. I've been reading some of your older posts.:) I've got your number. I was going to call yesterday but Jeff came home early from work. Today is the plan!!
