Angel in disguise!

I have recently been blessed with the opportunity to spend a holiday weekend with the one that I love and her family!! The weekend was filled with love, to say the least, I have been told by a few people that I say I love you too much, so I wonder is there such a thing? I do not believe so I believe Garth Brooks got it right when he said “tell that someone that you love just what your thinkin of if tomorrow never comes!!” Anyways sorry I was off on a tangent back to my Angel in disguise I truly believe that she is my Angel in disguise!! If I spent a year doing nothing but typing this blog I couldn’t begin to explain how much I love her she IS my Angel!! We left Thursday morning and arrived to a very welcoming Aunt Connie and Uncle Brad and a wonderfully delicious Thanksgiving Dinner!! Then spent a lovely afternoon taking pictures and spending time with my Angel!! Friday all the girls headed out early for a fun-filled day of shopping in Texas while Dad and I went out to see what was going on in the barn!! We helped ready the horses to be worked until around noon when we went into Ardmore to eat!! After lunch Brad worked horses for a little bit and then it came to my turn!!!! I was excited I rode a horse they call Rosie she is over 18 years old and is still a firecracker!! She stepped fast turned fast and never missed a beat!! Then we rode out to catch some sick cows, this was fun we rode quite a ways which gave me an opportunity to talk to Uncle Brad a little which was good!! This brings us to a very worn out Mark, but the fun doesn’t end there I finally got to spend a little time snuggling with my Angel and watching ELF which by the way I didn’t see very much of ;)!!
Then came Saturday morning time to pack up and leave we said our goodbyes and headed toward La Hacienda stopping along the way at Cafe Ole in Tulsa for lunch and a brief shopping stop at Stein Mart!! In short, this was one of the best Thanksgivings I have had in years!! spending time with the woman I love!!!!! Can’t wait for Christmas!!! I love spending time with my Angel and could never spend enough time with her!! Baby, I love you and You ARE my Angel in disguise!!!

STILL Amazed

So all growing up you hear of stories of people marrying their grade school and high school sweethearts and of course being a hopeless romantic I used to always wish that would happen. As time went on it became more and more apparent that it wouldn’t happen, but that’s ok, I knew that God had some great plan for me, and I think part of it was to teach me patience… not my strongest suit. So I dated one guy after another and things wouldn’t work out for whatever reason (and don’t be fooled, there weren’t all that many, I usually had length over numbers…) and again as you’ve probably read before I was in a relationship with a guy for over 5 years. That came to an end this last summer. Again God had something great in store but who knew… When you think about this next thought, keep in mind how I started this…

SHMILY

This is an email I’ve received before, There is just something about it that I really like:

My grandparents were married for over half a century and played their own special game from the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprising place for the other to find. They took turns leaving “shmily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn to hide it once more.

They dragged “shmily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. They smeared it in the dew on the windows overlooking the patio where my grandma always fed us warm, homemade pudding with blue food coloring. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. At one point, my grandmother even unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper to leave “shmily” on the very last sheet.

There was no end to the places “shmily” would pop up. Little notes with “shmily” scribbled hurriedly were found on dashboards and car seats, or taped to steering wheels. The notes were stuffed inside shoes and left under pillows.

“Shmily” was written in the dust upon the mantel and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture. It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love-one that is pure and enduring. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat.

It was more than their flirtatious little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on a devotion and passionate affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.

Project – Green

So yesterday was a fun day! Prince Charming and I went to Tulsa to see Tbug in her Cheerleading competition. They were third! Yey! While in Tulsa we went and did some Christmas shopping, which is pretty well done now, experienced our first IMAX movie, and of course ate dinner :). Prince Charming was bragging about How his Tom Tom which he calls Ditsy never gets him lost… yeah we were on 71st St and I was like why don’t we stay on this road. Prince Charming said that either it is programmed for the shortest route or the quickest route. Yey, we wound up getting dumped off in the middle of a subdivision. To make matters even better, all we’d have had to do was go under the bridge and we’d have been at the IMAX. We also saw a very funny sign while driving through the subdivision that Ditsy took us too.

Quote Junkie

Sometimes I am a “Quote Junkie”. I read a quote, I love it, I write it down and then comes the time of… what do I do with it now… LOL. But I still love them and still write them down when I find one that I like. Even if I can’t see how it will make sense in my life, I still have to write it down if it inspires me for some reason.

~True LOVE is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

This is a true phrase. People maybe should think about it before they get married. See if they can do that. Maybe not it’s still a good phrase either way.

They can be just quotes, they can be scriptures, whatever hits me that I read that I really like. Nothing, in particular, gets written down, I don’t go hunting the same types or kinds. They just hit me when I read them and that’s what I find.

~Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

This is a lot like the one that says something about don’t bring back a well-preserved body but bring in one that’s all skidded up and come in sideways etc and say man what a ride… LOL

Second Chance

Short and sweet for my first post!
Baby, I took my Que from you and figured out how to set this up where I can post also! Of course, it wasn’t very hard but N E Ways! I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank God for second chances! He has blessed me so much these last few months and I can’t thank him enough! Baby, I love you more than words can say!! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to love you!!
For those of you who don’t know we each had crushes on one another in high school! Unfortunately, I was a BONEHEAD back in those days (I’m sorry baby) and even though we talked about it I never acted on my feelings (That was the BONEHEAD part in case you were wondering) and we fell away from one another! Over the years I thought about her from time to time until one day after life had taken us both down long rocky paths our paths crossed again (Thank you FACEBOOK) I was so excited to hear from her and I couldn’t wait to meet up with her again!! Long story short we started talking then hanging out then dating and now we’re in love and I couldn’t be happier!! And so I thank God for my second chance! God has truly blessed the broken road that led me straight to you!!
LOL so much for short and sweet!! OUT!!

Now and Forever!!
Your Prince Charming!!!

Careful What You Wish For

If you know me any at all, I’m not a morning person; I don’t like being woke up, nothing. Just leave me be. Well, all my friends who have kids tell me that’ll all change when I have kids. I keep saying No Thank you! or My husband can do that… LOL. In all honesty, I’m sure if I had to I would and I’ve also been told it is a lot easier when it is your kid vs. someone else’s, we’ll see someday maybe. I haven’t decided yet. But I’ve also said if I have a kid it better come out walking, talking, and potty trained. That is the latest joke and boy it gets better. So one day someone asked what my ideal age to have would be. I was like well I went to school to teach high school (agriculture) so I really like that age group but if I had to go younger, probably 6.

Project – Fall

So this week’s word was Fall. Prince Charming chose it. Fall is a great time of year, the leaves start changing all their pretty colors, kids go back to school, Halloween & Thanksgiving followed by Winter which brings Christmas. Driving down the road you can smell chimney’s burning because cooler weather is near and all the pretty fall decorations. Minus the cooler temps I love fall, when it comes to temps, the hotter the better!!!! So I guess without further ado here is the unveiling of our photos. 🙂

Nicole:

I always think of campfires in the fall and roasting hotdogs. This was at a post Halloween party I attended.

Post Halloween Party

I’m a member of a women’s club and we were supposed to have a “Halloween” party and camp fire cookout the Thursday night before Halloween. Well circumstances came up and we were unable to have it then, so it got postponed to last night. We met at Mary’s house and were supposed to come in costume. After the Month of October we were all afraid that it would be frighteningly cold but last night was awesome weather. Although we were supposed to dress up, not everyone did 🙁 but we had some great costumes from those who did!!!
