it's what i wore on the mommalogues

Cheesy as it sounds, we met at a wedding….where he was with his recent ex (a new friend of mine), and I was with my current (at the time) boyfriend.  It was our first time meeting, but we knew of each other, and we were definitely not each others biggest fans.  But, God has a way of changing hearts, and when my dad passed away shortly after that, Jimmy was there for me in a way nobody else could be. And it was during all of that, that I realized he was exactly the kind of guy I wanted to marry. Just….not Him. Once again, God has a way of changing hearts….and it’s now ten happy years later. It’s actually way more juicy than that….Coming soon to a General Hospital storyline soon, I’m sure.

 

 

 

 

 


what i wore:
sequin silk shirt found at a thrift store in Colorado, also seen here on my day in L.A.

Um, Yes! 
I was once told that one of the best reasons to have kids was to get them to do the chores you don’t want to do anymore.  (think that may have been a mother-in-law gem).  Anyway, I took it to heart, and immediately put my kids to work as soon as they were able.  It’s all under the guise that we’re teaching them “lessons about life.”
And Taylor is so excited about this, that he actuallyjumped on the opportunity to tell you all about our system. 
My favorite part is when he says, “I work all the time!!!!” 
Kid, welcome to my world.

When I was a kid, I think I got “the talk” from a girl in 5th grade as we were walking home from school and happened upon a “wrapper” on the ground.  She knew what it was, I didn’t.  So she took the liberty of explaining it all….I was in shock for about a week or year after that. 
And because I don’t want my kids hearing it the way I did from the kids at school, I think we’ll make sure we have the talk before 5th grade. 
And the way we work, I have a feeling we’ll both be involved in that conversation.
what i wore:
pink chevron print oversized t shirt, Old Navy on clearance for $4!

We’ve had lots of Valentines Days in all of our many years together, and I’d like to say they are all so incredibly special and memorable, that I can’t just choose one.  And while that is totally true, (actually, there may be a few I forgot), there are two that stand out the most.
One was before we had kids and it involved a weekend away watching a Cops Marathon called Love Hurts.  Yes.  You read that right.  We went away for a weekendto watch a Cops Marathon.  Very Memorable. 
There was also another very memorable one for him, the time I had mentioned that maybe we should do “no gifts.”  And then he took that literally.  Oops.
what i wore:
red jacket found at salvation army in san antonio, i think for around $5

I hope you guys had an amazing week. 
I had such a good time relaxing in Orlando all while Jimmy was slaving away his days at his conference.
I laid in bed for HOURS until I felt awake enough to head down to the pool. 
And because I forgot sunscreen, I only had limited time in the direct sun....about enough for vitamin d and that's about it. 
And then I headed back to my room, and back to my bed, where I pulled out my laptop and WROTE.  
I also read the entire book, Mockingjay. 
I miss Katniss, Peeta, and Gale already. sigh.  
It was amazing, but I was definitely ready to come home. 
PMS makes you miss your bed a little.  
It also makes you cry at least three times on the plane ride home.... I confess one those times may have been caused when telling Jimmy about the story behind the movie, The Vow. 
{it's based on a true story!!!} 
His response?  
"Honey, what you're feeling right now?  It's only about 50% real....keep that in mind." 
And then he laughed, pulled me close, and probably said a prayer that God would hurry up and make it 100% real soon.  
That'll be a prayer he'll be praying the rest of my life. 
Poor guy.  
Have a great weekend!!!

Without a doubt have "the talk" before 5th grade.  In fact, I think you'd be surprised at what some of the kids already know...or, I should say, "think" they know.  The ones with older siblings in the house are always more than willing to share the "knowledge" they have.
