With God as my witness
So I’ve been away, for a bit. I think it’s the end of the summer (dog days) slump, plus I have been super busy which is always a good thing. I have been re-decorating and making it pretty, getting ready for fall. You know, homemaking because I am a homemaker and that’s what I do. Fall is my favorite time of year. The back bedroom we turned into a guest room. It looks really nice. I have also been working on my husbands art studio. He is an amazing artist. I will put pictures up. They both turned out really nice. We now have a desk in every room of my house. I love, love, love desks. I have a really great friend who helps me make everything look really great. I also have a Chuck. Chuck is the best. He can do anything around the house. He is the handyman of handymen. So here is some pictures of the rooms we upgraded.
So that is what I have been busy doing lately. I still have a few finishing touches on things. Me & Maria will finish up the shopping and Mr. Chuck will be working on the installing the stuff we bought. Very excited about getting this all done now so I can just hibernate for the winter and read and write.
It is so cool, like I said I have a desk in every room. I went to scrapbook expo this weekend and got all inspired with some new projects that I will be working on downstairs in my scrapbook area. I think they are going to turn out really well. I will post some pictures of the finished piece.
Last night when I was working on my scrapbooking, I just had a really positive feeling. I thought that this has been a really great year. I felt happy and that made me smile ;). So much to look forward too. I will be celebrating my 36th Wedding Anniversary this week. I can’t even believe it. We have been together for 39 years. I know, I know, “What, did he marry you when you were 12 ?” No, I just knew he was the guy I was going to spend my life with. We both knew there was no one better out there, so we just didn’t waste any time. We have had a great life together with it’s ups and downs but the one thing that we have been blessed with (besides health) is we have always had each other. We never forget to smile and laugh, because life is too short to be anything but happy. This picture says it all for me. It is my favorite picture of us. The look/smile on my face, well you be the judge. You have to play the Video, I know it’s a little bit old like us but it’s our theme song ❤ I put our family picture up because I can. Even though some are not here (their choice) they are still my family and always will be. We never left, because that is not how we role. We are family forever ❤
So on we go for many more years ❤ I love you Michael and Happy Anniversary. He truly is the best husband any woman could ever have and he’s all mine. Here’s another picture of us when we were older.
I just had to put this one up. We look like such dork’s, but we don’t care. We just have such fun together !!!
This is the one I love. Just holding onto my guy. I love him and I couldn’t be any happier. Happy Anniversay
Happy anniversary! Thank you for sharing your wonderful story!
Love always does shine through ❤

Thanks so much Ginger. I was just thinking about you this evening. How’s that new baby doing. I’m sure you are busy, but being your 4th I know you got this. I remember the 4th well, and the 5th 🙂
fabulous! congrats on your anniversary! I know what you mean by ups and downs but still love each other. We have been married 26 years and we are still working on our comminication skills
why do men and women have to have such different thought patterns!
Ups & downs are just part of life ❤
I know, I just wish the downs didn’t hurt so much
Love love your guest /writing room. Love the colors.
I loved the way the room turned out. It’s going to be my favorite room soon 😉
