Some of the reasons I love my husband....

*He irons my uniform for me every night (I don't even ask him to do it, he just does!)

*He always rubs my back, shoulders, neck, feet if I want/need him to

*He starts the process of getting Abby ready for school every morning (again, without me asking him to!)

*Even after almost 12 yrs of marriage, he still opens my car door for me

*He still loves me even though I can be the most stubborn, bull-headed female out there (and he only SOMETIMES rolls his eyes at me)

*He is so cute when he is studying me while I am reading, watching TV, or on the computer (and he thinks I don't know he is doing it)

*He sometimes adds chick flicks to our Netflix queue (just because he thought of me)

*He tells me he loves me about 15 times a day

*He tries really hard to plan surprises on special occasions (notice I say "tries" really hard!)

****Please note, these are in no specific order! I'm just random like that!

TN Aquarium

We decided to visit the aquarium Sunday afternoon, and these are just a few of the photos that we snapped while there. The butterfly sanctuary has some really pretty flowers that I had to take pictures of. I think the butterflies are Abby and I's favorite spot! (Except for the rocking chairs that overlook the TN River!)

You're invited!!

Again, this is what happens when I leave the camera laying around the house!

1st day of 1st grade!

This was the eve of her 1st day.....Due to the strong suggestion by one of my co-workers (who will remain nameless), we finally used our china - we've been married almost 12 yrs by the way - to celebrate the fact that Abby is officially in big school now! She thought it was really fun and wants to eat on the china every night for dinner.

They grow up too fast!

Happy birthday Danny!

Danny turned the big 35 today! We celebrated by eating lunch at McD's (at Abby's request), then went to my parents to share cake with them, came home and relaxed in the pool, and then lastly went to Logan's for dinner and they gave us FREE cheesecake for dessert! I hope he enjoyed our relaxing day because I know I did! I love you baby!!!

Sitter fun!

This is what happens when I leave the camera out in plain sight!

Meet our babysitter, Caroline!! At least I know they have a good time throughout the day!
