How's a girl supposed to get any work done??

Our Anniversary

Well, today, March 25th, 2009 is our 14th Wedding Anniversary. Last week we went on a trip to buy a camper. While we were on the road we remembered our anniversary was coming up. We both had forgotten! We have been so busy this month with things going on in our life that we just sort of forgot about us. Of course we're broke and hadn't made any plans for our special day so we both apologized to each other and decided that our camper was our gift to each other. We also had a very special and very expensive valentine's date so that made up for it. So maybe tonight we can go sit in the camper and watch a movie! LOL!! Anyway, I do want to say that I am so very grateful for my husband. I love him for so many reasons and am thankful that God saw a reason to let him be mine! Have a great day!!

Ali and her cat

Last night Ali went camping with my in-laws. If i can possibly make a long story short i'll try....Today Ali called and asked If I could come pick her up at 4:00. She said she had been coughing alot and was ready to come home. So on my way to pick her up I called my mother in law to get directions. She gave them to me and then told me that Ali had coughed all night and all day and that If she knew she was sick she wouldn't have asked her to come. Of course that immediately struck a nerve with me and I said "If I had known she was sick I wouldn't have let her go" I guess It upsets me because I feel my parenting skills being questioned. It's not like I dump her off on them all the time..as a matter of fact she rarely goes over there and they rarely ask for her to come. She also told me that she had told Ali she was probably sick because of her cat. I told her I didn't think it was the cat because we've had her for almost 2 YEARS! Well, the thing that bothered me the most was that she told Ali that her cat was probably making her sick and that she needed to get rid of it!!! I just can't believe that an adult would tell a little girl that. She has no idea what that cat means to her. Now, I am not one to love animals and get attached but she is and that little cat is her best friend. They sleep together, play hide and seek and I really think they have a great relationship. Since Ali is an only child Carmen the kitty is very important to her! My inlaws hate animals in the house and think that all people who have them inside are nasty. I know she loves Ali with all her heart but Ali's feelings were really hurt, and as a matter of fact so were mine! Here's Carmen......

At the Cross

I am probably to worst at journaling, therefore, blogging doesn't come easy for me.  I love to read. I don't love to write.  In my heart I am the most awesome writer there ever was.  But most of the time it doesn't get past that!  I ran across this blog that I thought was pretty cool.  She calls it "thousand word Thursday" ...posting pictures that speak for themselves.  So today that's what I'm going to do.  Let's see if I can keep up with it!  This picture was taken at Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs, Ark.  I was shooting a wedding and had some down time and this was my view!

I stayed home with Ali today because she was sick.  She was sitting in front of the computer and I thought she just looked so sweet!  She's getting better and she'll be going back to school!!!
