Why I love him

This weekend will be our 5 year wedding anniversary!  I never thought I would be married for 5 years.  Before I met Chad I never thought I would be married at all.  So I thought I would list reasons why I love Chad so much.

1.  He is my hero.  

2.  He brings out the best of me.  He keeps me positive and motivated.

3.  He makes me feel safe and protected.

4.  I still get butterflies in my stomach when I see him after we have been apart.

5.  He lets me be mad, happy, sad and even a little goofy at times and he always loves me for who I am.

6.  He accepts that I can not cook.

7.  He accepts my friends and family with open arms.

8.  Even though he will not admit to it in public, I know he loves my dogs.

9.  I love his freakness for cleaning the house and doing the laundry.

10.  I love him for wanting to have our own family and making new family memories and new family traditions.

Tulips

So, I planted tulips two years ago.  I planted 18 tulips, let me tell you it was hard work.  Our flower bed is around a few trees, so the ground is hard and it seems like there are roots everywhere.  Then, after working hours planting the bulbs, you have nothing to show for it except a sore back until spring.  Last spring after what seemed like an eternity I had tulips.  Only 14 tulips came up but I was pretty proud of my accomplishment.  I have been watching for my tulips again this year.  Afterall, all the tulips should come back, and they should have more... right????  Well, I only have 5 tulips coming up.  I think this is a crime!!!  Not only do I only see the five, but I don't even see any blooms.  Chad usually buys me some mums.  My mums come back.  I love mums, I love tulips, tulips don't love me!  I think the squirrels might of dug down to get the bulbs out of the ground, that is a rumor I have heard.  Let me tell ya, I will be sitting on the front steps waiting for those darned stinking squirrels.

until next time

I've been busy

I haven't written or blogged anything recently.  I have been working a lot.  Chad and I finally bought new bedroom furniture and a new mattress.  I can't tell you how badly we needed this.  It just sucks spending the money.  Hopefully everything will be delivered today.  We also need a new roof on the house and a new air conditioner.  It is going to be an expensive summer.  We still haven't heard anything more on the adoption.  I called the counselor today, I am waiting to hear back from her.  

This weekend was my quilt guilds quilt show.  It was held downtown Charleston.  I didn't enter anything, I am to intimidated by the ladies in my group.  Overall it was a great show, there were 250 quilts entered.  Judy Heyward won the best of show.  The nest show is in two years, hopefully I will get the nerve up to enter in that show.  I worked the show on Saturday.... it was a long day.
