Happy Valentine's Day and Anniversary

Ok well I have to start this off with an early Happy Valentine's day and Anniversary to Charlie. On January 26th, 1990 at the skating rink in Mt. Airy, NC I looked across the room and saw this gorgeous guy. Ok we were young and he was shooting pool with his friends. I was too nervous, shy to go talk to him but my best friend Natasha knew him and she introduced is. I told her after that nifht that I was going to marry him. Well on February 15, 1990 he called me and asked me out. I was only 13 at the time so we were not going anywhere but ok. I always picked on him that he did not do it earlier because he did not want to get me something on Valentines day. However I have some to the understanding that he is really not that into holidays. So on the 15th we will of have know each other for 19 years. Well actually on the 26th of Jan. but we don't celebrate that day as much.
So for something special I am going to name 19 ways I am glad he came into my life.
1. He is my best friend
2. He always supports me even if I am wrong
3. He is very loving
4. He is the love of my life
5. He is a great father to our children
6. He loves the Lord and serves him
7. He is forgiving
8. He is HOT
9. He is a great listener
10. He helps me around the house
11. He is a very Hard Worker
12. He helps others
13. He has great brown eyes
14. He is easy going
15. He holds the Priesthood
16. He is my ETERNAL COMPANION (this is a great one should of put it higher but that does not dimish it any)
17. He loves his family (this is great because it comes into our home)
18. He is helps his kids
19. He loves me ( ok I know that I used it earlier but it is the best)

So Happy Valentine's Day to all our friends and family.

When I Grow Up

Well on Tuesday when we picked Ian up from school he informed us of what he is going to be when he grows up. He states as a matter of fact that he is going to work at... drum rolls......Wal-Mart. So we asked what he wanted to do there. He said he was going to scan items and take the money. I really can not blame him. I mean it looks like really fun to run the register. I have to admit when I was his age I wanted to work at the grocery store. So I guess one day Ian may be working at Wal-Mart. I have to admit though that I was surprised. I thought he would say Wendy's or L & J since those are the places we work at. Then I thought maybe the oil place but hey at least he has some aspirations.

Happy Birthday to Charlie

Ok I am a day late and a few dollars short but I thought i should put Charlie's birthday on here. He turned 34 on Thursday. We(Ian and I) made him a cake. Ian decorated it with tons of sprinkles. It was way yummy. Well Happy Birthday Charlie!!!

As the Year Ends

Well we survived the Christmas rush. We had a lot of places to be. Our adventure started with traveling to Charlie's moms which was about a 4 hour drive. Then we spent the night there and the next day went on our all day adventure. We got to see Kenneth (Tina's dad), Charlie's grandparents (The Sechrist), Daddy Jimmy, Tina's Grandma Betty and all the aunts,uncles and cousins there. Then we headed to Tina's moms where the night settled to wait for Santa. So once asleep Santa jumped into action. Then next morning excitement abounded and everyone was happy. Then we headed to see Gary (Tina's dad) and off to Virginia. We then got to visit with Charlie's family. Amanda got to visit with Ashley her birth mother and her paternal grandparents. That was nice she enjoyed all those visits. Then we left on Friday morning to return to GA. A 5 hours trip that went great until Mason decided that he was going to scream for about 50 minutes. Then Nathan decided he is afraid of the dark and I had to sit sideways to hold his hand so that Mason will go to sleep. Yeah!! So we made it home and miss the family. We left the girls in Virginia and then they are going to NC and home on Tuesday. So this was our adventure. We hope that everyone had a great holiday and enjoy the New Year.
