10 Years of Marriage...and counting

My how time flies... I just can't believe it's already been 10 years for hubby & I. As he pointed out this morning, that is just 2 years shy of the amount of time we were in school. Now that you put it that way... SHEESH, we've been married a heck of a long time. :D But I wouldn't have it any other way.

We met at "The Promise" during the first day of rehearsal in May of 1997 at the Jay's house on our lunch break. I had seen him from afar earlier that day at the amphitheatre and thought to myself "hmmm he's a cute new guy... definite prospect". Little did I know that I was looking at the man who would one day become my husband. It gives me butterflies thinking back on it now.

It was harrassment at first site. We were introduced and the picking on each other began immediately! We were in a lot of the same scenes together, so that made getting to know each other pretty easy. You see, he was playing the satan stunt double and i was playing a demon. (just ONE of our many roles in the show that year) in the temptation scene. There was one friday night we had rehearsal for just a few of the scenes and he & I got to sit out under the beautiful stars at the amphitheatre and just talk. We talked about our families and ourselves.... without any interruptions. We got to know each other. It was great!

A few weeks later, we had our first date. He swears to THIS VERY DAY that that trip was NOT INTENDED to be a date. But ladies, you tell me what you think this was..... He approached me at rehearsal and said, since we have tomorrow off, I was thinking about going to the FTW Zoo and wanted to know if you would like to come with me. I said yes and was CRAZY GIDDY inside. The next morning, I met up with him, and we went to the zoo. He paid for my ticket & lunch!! (DATE??) Yes, I think so!

As we walked around the zoo, he amazed me by his knowledge of scripture. I remember we were standing at the Lion's area looking at this glorious animal and he referred to Jesus being the Lion of Judah and how that meant strength and power. And scripture was never more real to me then that moment, when I was staring face to face with a real Lion. WOW!! We continued to talk and walk and then Suddenly... without warning... and neither of us knows how it happened or who made the first move.... we realized.... WE WERE HOLDING HANDS!!!

And our life has been a Fairy tale ever sense. (with battles & happyness that a fairy tale includes) We dated for a year & one month, beginning from that day at the zoo, before we were engaged and we married 5 months later on November 21, 1998.

There you go... that's our story... that's how it all started... and I am PRAISING THE LORD for such a wonderful life!

~My Husband Rocks~ TEN YEARS

I haven't posted on the MHR's for a few weeks now, but I thought that today was the right day to come back to this fun & inspiring meme. Why now you ask? Well because......

TODAY is OUR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!

What better thing to say about your husband, then to see how wonderful he is by his dedication to me for the last 10 years. Not many couples make it to this point and I am proud to say, that the Lord has blessed me with an amazing godly man that loves me unconditionally as my husband. Who could ask for anything more?

Here are some pics of that WONDERFUL man on our wedding day, 10 years ago!

My Beth Moore Moment

This is where I got to meet & hug lovely Beth Moore's neck at the Living Proof Live & Siesta Fiesta in San Antonio.

PS: i'm the one w/ the pink hair! :)

Please Christmas Don't Be Late!!!

I am soooo in the Christmas mood right now and we haven't even made it to Thanksgiving yet. If it were up to me, we would skip Turkey day and go STRAIGHT to Christmas. I would already have dug out the Christmas decorations and bought a tree and everything would be up, including Christmas music. Ahhhhh that would be nice! I am still seriously thinking about it.

I'm not sure why I am sooo gungho to have Christmas here already, because I haven't been this giddy for years now. Maybe it has something to do with my son finally being old enough to be able to experience Christmas. He was too young last year, but he is almost two. I want to teach him that we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on that day & that He is the Reason for the Season. AND - I am sooo excited to see his reactions to the tree, decorations, and Christmas lights all over the place and all of the stuff that makes sound. I want to sing him the Christmas tunes and teach them to him. And to dig out the DVD's of Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman. Oh I can't wait... i'm getting giddy just typing this up! ***eeeeee***

Not to mention, I have a SERIOUS CRUSH on Bing Crosby.... Oh my, that voice. I am sad that i never lived in the days of Bing, because I would so have been in love with him!! Okay, I am, but it's merely a crush now, because he is no longer with us. :( BUT... You just can't have Chirstmas without thinking of Bing Crosby. I mean you have him in the movie "White Christmas" and he sings ALL the holiday songs! He is everywhere! Oh and if you haven't seen that movie, OH MY STARS, You MUST Check it out because it is a wonderful classic. Ahhh I LOVE that movie, it is one of my favorites... it's an obsession really! But we wont talk about that! I have been trying to keep myself from diggin' the DVD out & watching it for the last few weeks now and I'm not sure If I can hold off too much longer. :)


Soooo as you can tell I am excited and I can't wait.... so Thanksgiving better hurry up!!

WHAT ARE SOME THINGS YOU FIND EXCITING ABOUT CHRISTMAS?? Tell me about them... Cause I wanna know!

How can you convince a toddler or/ discipline a toddler to KEEP that toddler from throwing/pushing the plate of food over the side of the tray of the high chair??

I am at my wits end here continuing to pick up plates of food that have splattered all over the kitchen floor, not to mention in trying to figure out what I need or can do to solve this problem. Please help!

Hair disaster & Fix

Okay I said stay tuned and though it's been longer than intended... here is the Haircut update.

Here is my before pic & the reason for the much needed haircut..

As from my previous post you saw the haircut i intended on getting and well, that is NOT what I received. The hairstylist, whom i've gone to for years, took one look at the picture I brought in and said she could do it and proceeded to cut or shall i say RAZOR away at my hair. Once I got done... it was NOT the style of the picture... at all. I was sooooo not happy. This is what it looked like!

So the very next thing I did... was call a friend who had an Amazing hairstylist and I asked for her number. I called she had an opening for the next day at 8:30 in the morning and I jumped on it. Her name is Monte and she was GREAT! She took one look at the pic, one look at my hair and said, UM...Let's fix that for you! I was overjoyed. She actually used scissors. And the end result was EXACTLY what I wanted!! SEE...


So now i have a NEW Haircut that I LOVE and a New Hairstylist!
YIPPEE!!
