4 years and counting

Today is the day that 4 years ago I became Mrs. Smith.
It was the perfect day. Rained in the morning (good luck) Beautiful and sunny by wedding time.
I loved everything about my wedding day. I had the most peaceful feeling walking down the isle to marry Michael. It could have been the shot of southern comfort I had just done, but I like to say it was knowing that this was my soul mate. OK maybe it was a little of both.
We had a short and sweet ceremony that had so much love in it.
Then we partied down until the wee hours of the morning. We left the Monday after for our honeymoon which we spent discussing our 5 year plan and we are pretty much right where we said we would be and I could not be happier.
I'm one of the lucky ones. I married an amazing man, someone who takes care of my heart. When we were going through our marriage classes before the wedding the pastor looked at us and said I have been praying about your marriage and the answer that I got was that you were written in heaven to be together. That moment has been the foundation for our wonderful marriage.
We have ups and downs, peaks and valley's but we always persevere. We focus on the good, we find the laughter, and we love hard and forever.
There is no one else I would want to walk through this life with and no one else that would take care of my heart like Michael does. He is an amazing husband, father, and best friend.
Here is to 50 more years together.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets! Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review. Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
