I [Heart] You

Well, despite all that plagued the house, we still had a fun & loving holiday.

Gabe & I sent Sissy off early to school & later joined her for some cheer at her class party.

Doesn't he look like he's taking this photo?:

He is thrilled to be at her school, I wish he went to school there...
I'm sorry my lens was dirty here, Flynn has the sweetest expression:
Here the whole room is praying over snack.

Look at my heathenistic children!:
HeartRule Breaker
Thank you Jesus for milk-free two bite brownies at Walmart:


Ms Jo, Flynn's art teacher, helps her deliver her valentines:
Raise your brows if YOU LOVE CHOCOLATE!

Days of Valentine - 6th way

This way is one of my most prized:

That's him alright. I wouldn't go so far as to say he's my trophy husband. But I would go so far as to say that I proudly wear myself on his arm when we go places and I've always been proud to introduce him to acquaintances he's never met.

Did you know that before he knew me, I saw him & inquired about him? My niece Hannah was in third grade at the school which he taught at (which I later taught at). He taught second grade, two doors down from her class.

I took Hannah to school a couple of different occasions, late, & "needed" to walk her to her class. I tried to be nonchallant while getting a good 'gander' into his classroom. You know, it's not often that elementary teachers are men. And even more rare that they're worth a second look (let alone three, four, or five looks).

Later, I asked Hannah about him. She giggled & was excited at my interest. Before I knew it, she'd told one of her friends who supplied her with a bunch of "facts" (which weren't very factual).

He never knew a student's aunt was hot after him. And I don't think he actually saw me until a year later when I subbed next door to him. And even then I'm not sure he 'really' saw me (the monumental moment was a month later when I subbed for him).

How often do people get to marry someone who took their breath away at first sight? And even less often than that, those people continue to stay smitten with their spouse.

I'm glad I'm one of those few.

I Just Noticed This

Sometimes I open a file of pics, when needing to be "inspired" for my blog entries (you're saying to yourself, "that's inspiration??").

So, I opened up the file just now & somehow these two pictures aligned & VOILA!, twins.

It's just like when Flynn was a baby & in our bed with us one morning. She looked so much like Jeff back in those days, with her lack of massive hair...that I propped her up on his pillow & said, "Look! I'm Daddy!"

And we laughed & laughed (probably sleep deprivation) & now it's one of 'our sayings.'

Anyway, do you see the likeness???!!
