True love story~

My parents celebrated their 42nd wedding Anniversary, or as they like to call it, 

their 504th month of marriage.

Their love story is one of my very favorites, 

and I get to be a part of it!

I can honestly say I have never seen them fight. Disagree, YES...but never fight.

I remember someone asking my dad what his dream vacation would be.

His answer,"Anywhere Kay is".

They RESPECT each other,

SACRIFICE for one another

and ENJOY each other's company

Weekly dates have always been crucial to them, even when they had 5 little kids.

They gave me a precious gift...

a home filled with music, laughter, faith and

the knowledge that families can be HAPPY

and they can last forever with a lot of work and a lot of

LOVE.

Minor front room changes~

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration! What a crazy fun couple of weeks! The Joe has been off of work and it's been so awesome to have the kids home. I love being able to spend time with all of them. What a wonderful time of year!  Treats miraculously showing up on your front door every night, listening to the christmas CD's that the Haskells have made for us over the years and watching the kids anticipate the most magical night of their lives. I also love being able to take advantage of the "Santa is watching" leverage that always seems to improve my kids behavior for a few days.

Admittedly I also love the feeling of Christmas coming to an end. It's nice to be able to feel like we successfully made it through another year. It feels good to wrap up Christmas and be able to give the house a good cleaning...not that I have actually done that yet, but I'm sure it will feel fabulous when I do....{{tomorrow maybe}}...**fingers crossed**  I'm also very motivated at this time of year to change things around a bit. I'm in the mood for something new! Not the 'spend a lot of money' kind of new, just shuffling things around.

I made a new family sign for the front room to and decided to attempt to hang it with a collage of family pictures. For the most part I try to avoid collages. I have never been very good at them and usually just end up taking everything down and being annoyed by the vast multitude of new holes I have created in my wall, but I figured ahhh, what the heck. Holes can always be filled.

I wanted the focus of my sign to be my family. I haven't really zeroed in on what I want my New Year's resolutions to be, but I definitely want them to include building a stronger relationship with my loved ones.

Here's an up close and personal shot of the sign so you can read what it says.

Here's the collage....and I don't even hate it! It's a Christmas miracle:)
