7 Down An Eternity To Go

Today is mine and Larry's 7 year Anniversary. (and yes we are prego with the 4th kid...do the math....it means I've been prego or nursing for 90% of our marriage) I've never been very good at remembering these type of special things. And I've become especially good at procrastinating with all the other distractions that life dishes out. Thankfully Larry is thoughtful, never thinks of himself and always puts his family first. It makes up for all that I fall short of. Emma probably put it best last night when she said her prayers:




"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you Daddy, Mommy, Sydney, Emma and Ben-Ben. Emma go to sleep, Ben-Ben sleep too, Sydney watch TV, Daddy take care of Mommy, Daddy make pizza for Mommy. In the name of....Amen".














On Saturday Larry came home with a great anniversary present and one that I like to call "A Marriage Saver". I never thought it really mattered but a KING size bed is GREAT. Especially toward the last months of pregnancy when I start taking over the whole bed. I even got to spend an hour by myself shopping for some new bedding. Here's the results:








It's beautiful and we love it. But it really made the rest of our furniture look 2nd hand...(like crap). I guess we'll need to take another trip to IKEA!

7 years and 4 kids well you guys are blowing us out of the water. Weve been married 8 years and only have 2 kids.

Oh and the toes only took 45 min from start to finish, the entire pedi. I was totally shocked. They whipped that design out so fast!

Now you need to come visit me and Ill take you.

Congratulations! What is the traditional gift for a 7 year anniversary? A bag of Cheetos? If it is... I hope year 7 gets here in a hurry for me and Kelly.

Happy Anniversary!!! I love your new bedding!!! Yes, we have 2nd hand (crap) furniture too. Isn't it great?! (Said very sarcastically!!!) One day though, all the furniture in each room will match and be something I wanted!!!

Happy Anniversary! that's really sweet. I think I'd die and go to heaven if hubby brought "home" something like that. (Which is probably why he hasn't done it.) Your pictures are beautiful!!


(PS... will you tell me the name of that site again that puts books together of your blog)

Congrats, you look so pretty on your wedding day!
Love, love the bed spread. One of my favorite color combinations.
I've enjoyed seeing all of your home projects, keep up the good work.
