Wednesday Gratitude & White Wednesday

My grandmother "Baba" turned 80 last weekend and this was one of the beautiful arrangments that arrived at her house.
How grateful I am to still have my grandmother at her age. She is an amazing woman and the glue to our family. We all sat around and told stories about how she influenced each of our lives.



It was also my brother's birthday weekend. He received a different kind of flower arrangement (which I think is great!) It is carnations in a mug full of yellow glass stones, water, and a little foam looking stuff at the top (meant to resemble a beer or a float).

Completed Barefoot Sandals & Wednesday Gratitude

Oh, how I am already missing relaxing in Jamaica! I couldn't be more thankful that we have the means to travel like we do. This hammock was outside our room on our veranda at the resort, I'm really wishing I had one at home! It was just perfect for the two of us.
We would wake up and have breakfast delivered to our veranda. So peaceful and everything just tastes better when you have all the time in the world to enjoy it.

I promised I would take pics of the completed barefoot sandals I made for our Jamaica trip.
So here they are. Very easy to make and fun to wear!

Wednesday Gratitude

This week (and most every week) I am grateful for my soon to be hubby!

Here is the short story... I could go on and on!

Over 4 years ago we met for the very first time at a local Starbucks. I knew within 10 minutes of meeting and talking with him that I was going to marry him someday. No joke, I really knew this day would come.

Here is a photo of our first date, 6 days after meeting at Starbucks. It was like we had known each other for ever! We shared most everything in common.














Here we are a few weeks later, salsa dancing...

Hanging out with friends...















Playing volleyball together (something we do weekly)!


Toasting our first Christmas dating each other...
The following year I broke my ankle playing soccer and he was my third crutch!

2 years after first meeting and starting to date he proposed to me at the very Starbucks we first met. And without hesitation I said yes!
He came with a dog...

I came with 2 sons...
1 dog + 2 sons + 2 love birds = 1 big happy family

I could not have been more fortunate to have walked in that Starbucks in 2006. I met the man of my dreams! A tall, dark hair, dark eyed, super smart, extremely funny, sexy gentleman. One that shares my interests, passions and values.

On April 26th, 2010 I will be able to call that man, who is my best friend.... HUSBAND.

Wednesday Gratitude













It's Wednesday, which means it's time to pick something you are grateful for and share it over at Heart and Home.

Today I'm grateful for our family dog Rio. He is a joy to have around, stays out of trouble (for the most part) and rarely ever makes a sound.
