Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

oh lovely weekend…

how is it that a 3 day weekend can FLY by but a 5 day work week seems to drag on? i just don’t understand it at all. our weekend was AWESOME!!! friday i took off work (even though i said i wasn’t going to) and went with joe and the kids to a local amusement park, for jades birthday. the kids had a BLAST and i got to just hang out with my love all day. saturday we had a wedding and reception to go to. we got home around 7 and got directly on the 4-wheelers and headed to camp. from camp we went on a “night ride”, the kids have been bugging to go on one. and yesterday we hung around the house and then took the 4-wheelers on a long ride…ending at the dam inn. such a fun weekend!!!

so this week i am hoping to get some more scrappy projects done…i’m like dying to scrap but i had NO mojo this weekend. weird huh? and i even have a BRAND spakin’ new box of hambly goodness waiting for me to play with. i’m hoping that some fresh pics will start my mojo back up.

here is a quick pic i took of my new do this weekend…
in other news our sweet little kitty ming ming china love (who jade has made a play house for and dresses up) is in fact a BOY kitty!!! jade was sad for a brief moment and then told me that she is just going to pretend that ming is a girl and still call it “she” and “her”. man, has my blog sucked lately or what? there is nothing exciting…nothing funny…nothing real woo woo…just BLAH! i am going to do whatever i can to change that.oh and i will be blogging more often…aunt vi told me she checks my blog EVERY SINGLE DAY so i am going to try my darndest!out for now~kisses

journaling~
i hate that
growing up
none of you
looked at me
as part of the family
because i was adopted
you saw me as
fair game
and made passes at me
which i never
understood
in my mind
we were family
and it confused
the hell out of me
i was young
a child
and so nieve
but now i see you
for the asshole pigs
you all are

happy birthday jade!!!

today my baby turns 9…can you even believe that?!?! honestly, i can remember the day i took this pic. jade was around 3 and joey was 5. this is one of my ALL TIME fav pics of them together. they just look soooo genuine and happy.

so happy birthday baby…i hope your day is all you want it to be and more!!! mama love you!

the first time i heard this song and saw the video for it, i fell in love with it. the sentiment is amazing and isn’t it just the ultimate in romance? brad paisley sings it and it features andy griffith…so love it

Sittin’ on a bench at West Town Mall
He sat down in his overalls and asked me
You waitin’ on a woman
I nodded yeah and said how ’bout you
He said son since nineteen fifty-two I’ve been
Waitin’ on a woman

When I picked her up for our first date
I told her I’d be there at eight
And she came down the stairs at eight-thirty
She said I’m sorry that I took so long
Didn’t like a thing that I tried on
But let me tell you son she sure looked pretty
Yeah she’ll take her time but I don’t mind
Waitin’ on a woman

He said the wedding took a year to plan
You talk about an anxious man, I was nervous
Waitin’ on a woman
And then he nudged my arm like old men do
And said, I’ll say this about the honeymoon, it was worth it
Waitin’ on a woman

And I don’t guess we’ve been anywhere
She hasn’t made us late I swear
Sometimes she does it just ’cause she can do it
Boy it’s just a fact of life
It’ll be the same with your young wife
Might as well go on and get used to it
She’ll take her time ’cause you don’t mind
Waitin’ on a woman

I’ve read somewhere statistics show
The man’s always the first to go
And that makes sense ’cause I know she won’t be ready
So when it finally comes my time
And I get to the other side
I’ll find myself a bench, if they’ve got any
I hope she takes her time, ’cause I don’t mind
Waitin’ on a woman

Honey, take your time, cause I don’t mind
Waitin’ on a woman

i received my copy of memory makers yesterday and guess what…the lo i did of joe was in it!!! i was so crazy excited for that. it’s titled “soul mate” and it’s in the last half of the mag. if i think of it tonight i will take a pic of it and post it here.
