Happy Anniversary

to my darling, sweet, wonderful, husband. Today was our 12 year anniversary. I truthfully can't believe it has been 12 years. He got me a new G2 for our anniversary, and he gave it to me yesterday. I LOVE IT!!!! I have been wanting one for a while now, and I would prefer that much more than any piece of jewelry (except a new wedding ring). Tonight he had our pastor surprise me with a renewing of our wedding vows. This was so extra special to me because the first time we got married, we weren't in church. He wasn't even saved. This time we are both actively involved in church and are saved. It is a big difference that 12 year makes. It made the vows that much more special. I couldn't have asked for a better anniversary weekend.

Saturday Hubster took the boy children on a boys day out. They went and saw Tron and had some lunch. TB told Hubster that it was the best day that he has had in forever. They both asked Hubster to do it more often. TB even posted about the wonderful day he had on Facebook. Talk about bring a tear to my eye. That was extra sweet to me. Saturday night Hubster and I went on a date. We left the house around 6 and hit up Bath and Body thanks to a $20 giftcard that I had. I think Twilight Woods is my new favorite sent. I love it. Afterwards we weren't hungry yet, so we went to see The Fighter. It had gotten such rave reviews. I was disappointed in it. It was a good movie but not a great movie. The language in it was horrible. They really didn't need it. We ended up going to Outback after the movie, and it was the second time in a row that the food wasn't all that great. I doubt we will go back. We still had a good time overall.

Today was family day. We took the kids to see Megamind on base. It was cute, but I'm glad we didn't go to the theater where it cost an arm and a leg to see it. We did some grocery shopping after that, and then we went to church. I've already posted what happened at church. It was just an amazing two days with the most wonderful man.

He is really loving his job. I'm hoping that it stays that way. He leaves tomorrow for 3 days for work. I'm not looking that forward to it, but they pay him extra money for that. He certainly put in a lot of hours last week.

I've got lots of Christmas to still buy. I'm hoping that my friend might get to come over next week to do some baking with her kids and mine. Then I'm hoping that Felecia might be able to meet up the week after Christmas for some lunch. I've really missed her.

My oh My How Things have Changed....

since I last posted. It has been super duper hectic and exciting what has happened recently.

1. Hubster was offered a job making around $10,000 - $20,000 a year more than he was. He starts on Monday. He is nervous and excited. He hopes that it works out, and that he likes working for them. He also is getting a company vehicle, so that means no wear and tear on our personal vehicles plus they pay for gas. It also means that it looks like we will be able to move in February or March.

2. We found out on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving that my brother, who has been in prison for nearly 7 years made parole. He actually got out yesterday. He is going to be staying with us. He looks good, but he seems like a fish out of water. He promises that he will never go back. I hope so. They told us it will take about 2 weeks for him to get acclimated back to civilian life.

3. One of the first graders where the boys go to school passed away last Monday after a 2.5 year battle with cancer. Her mom is a teacher up at the school, so they didn't have school on Friday. It was the day of her funeral. Her mom sent out a message that said that Maddie had not been responsive for over 2 days, and on Monday she smiled and reached up her arms. Her mom said that she went to be in Jesus's arms. What a wonderful thought. We know that one day we will see Maddie again. She is now pain free.

All of the kids are doing excellent. They are all growing like weeds. Hubster and I have an anniversary coming up very soon. We are trying to figure out what we are going to do.
