because I am loved and love...

[jleighbum]

Things have been great around here.  Everything is looking up, although we have had a few major pitfalls, and our savings account has been depleted, we have worked through these things, and are as much in love as ever.  My dryer broke.  Then my washer.  So I had to go buy a washer and dryer.  My tires on my minivan was GONE... so I had to go get a new set...and numerous other things, including my dishwasher... which we have no extra cash for right now.

Our dog, Peggy Sue passed away about two weeks ago.  She was a beautiful, wonderful dog.  She had lymphoma cancer, and is now at peace.  Its so sad, she was only 10 months old, but the time we had with her is a blessing and now she is in doggy heaven.

We have Kidsfest coming up next week.  It is a consignment thing for children, I am going through some of my kids clothes, and am going to put some in the sale.  I also have volunteered to help out, and I am SO looking forward to it!  Also, its a way to advertise my business, and I am having bookmarks printed to give away.. My business cards are in the mail and should be here anyday!

I can't believe summer is over, and that it is already time for Halloween! Bryce is in kindergarten now, and he brought home a book from the library the other day.  Can you believe he can already READ!  He read the whole book to me with just a little help.  I am so proud of him.  Cole is being considered for speech therapy since he had a tied tongue, (inherited from his daddy) and has some trouble speaking.  The speech therapist told me he was incredibly bright, and did the best she ever remembers on his testing, as far as memory, colors, and etc.  And my Rayne, wow.  He is so spoiled, and ruined.  I love him so. I am so proud of him!  My beautiful blond hair blue eyed little mess. He can drive you up the wall, and make you want to hug him in a single breath.  I am so blessed to have such wonderful children, and for them to have such a wonderful father.  He dotes on his boys. Entirely too much sometimes, but they worship him, as I do.

DH and I have been getting along so wonderfully. We went to Memphis Zoo alone this past weekend, without the children.  We had a wonderful time.  We went on Beale Street, listened to some music, got a little tipsy at coyote ugly, and ate some of the best bbq in the world.  We have made it a point for us to do something like that at least twice a month.  We started so early with our family, and I was pregnant so much, that we have never really go to enjoy it just being me and him.  I am crazy about him, as he is about me.

Although I sometimes regret the decision of his vasectomy, and would dearly love to have another child, I am completely satisfied.  I have 4 wonderful men in my life, and it is such a blessing, a wonderful thing.  They keep me on my toes, and I am constantly on the go... but I love it.  Every single moment, from the time I climb out of bed, (usually with 3 little boys piled on top of me, lol) give my husband a kiss, fix breakfast, and take my child to school, till the moment I curl into bed in my DH's arms, and go to sleep feeling completely happy, completely in love, completely loved, and just complete.
