Thursday!!! February 18th, 2010

How can it possibly be Thursday already? Wow!The weather is chilly, but my spirit is warm today~I had a moderately successful Valentine week...My most heartfelt Thank Yous to those who ordered from me~I hope you all enjoyed a happy holiday!!! Now I am thankfully in the process of working on a dinner party for 25 people, such fun! I told my BFF today that I am so lucky because when I have to practice what I do I get to make something delicious!!! Unlike the atheletes we have been watching on the Olympics this week~those kids work SO HARD!! I have been watching with my 9 year old and I don't think at that age we realized how hard these people work. They are amazing!!!
So my hubby turns 46 this week~I told a friend of mine it was my hubby's birthday and she asked if it was a "big one" I thought for a second and then I told her YES! for me...I am married to someone who is almost 50!!! HELLO??? that cannot be possible, when did this happen? When I look at him I see the same person he has always been, we are the same people who once sat at the bluff (some of you will know where that is, some of you won't!) we spent a lot of time at the bluff during our dating years, and I remember one night looking at the moon and talking about our future and he said~I want to teach my kids to ride a bike. Out of nowhere, I will never forget what he looked like when he said that~I thought he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen~he was 19 and the future seemed so far away...now it is 27 years later and so far he has taught 2 sons to ride a bike, mow a lawn, drive a car~we have been through a lifetime together, sometimes we sit around the table when the kids are all home and talk about whatever memories stick in their heads and I am astounded that we have a lifetime of memories. We have laughed, cried, screamed,prayed, and loved together for almost our whole lives...we are blessed to have each other. We somehow managed to raise a family, while trying to raise ourselves. Some days we hit the mark, other days we failed miserably~but we are still trying together everyday. And for anyone who thinks it is not work, you are wrong~work at love everyday and it will reward you in ways you could never imagine, if you are open to seeing it and believeing it.
I wish my hubby a wonderfully happy birthday~and I hope many, many, many more...after all who else would put up with me???
Now time to bake some "practice" Hamentashen...I wonder who I can get to sample them?
