Dusting...

Yesterday school was closed for the gazilionth time 

due to weather

sooo

Izzy decided to dust off my camera

&

take some pics

I looked at the photos this morning 

&

it inspired me to dust off my blog!!!

Here they are....

I am going to keep dusting

&

see what else happens!!!

Love is Brave!

Yesterday we celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary!

I am so grateful to have Rob as my mate! 

Marriage is hard, really hard, that is a fact!

Parenthood is hard, really hard, that is a fact!

Life is hard, really hard, that is a fact!

I am soooo happy to have Rob by my side through all of it!

The ups, the downs, the laughter, & the tears!

Marriage takes constant work, 

but if you are 

authentic & genuine 

in your marriage

it makes all the work worth it! 

He inspires me to be a better person every single day!

So here's to a real authentic marriage

that is not all rainbows & unicorns...

But it is a whole lot of 

LOVE!

"Love is Brave"

It's been a looong Winter (ALREADY)

Not sure if I called it or jinxed it

but

I just knew that this Winter was going to be rough!

Today is the 6th snow day (no school) of 2014

They have only had 4 days of school this year! 

Izzy took these awesome photos

of our backyard

this morning!

I love them because they are the same trees at different angles!

Trying to embrace Winter

but

Daydreaming of Spring!!!

Happy 2014!
