Time keeps on slipping...slipping...

My mom always told me that as I got older, time would go quicker. As usual, Momma was right.

It's amazing to me that January 2011 is already more than half over. Wasn't it just yesterday we were talking about New Year's Eve plans (which for us were non-existent:))

Now it's creeping up on the end of January and my Kendra is going to be turning 20 years old. Talk about time slipping away. It doesn't seem possible.

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time and hold both my girls just a little longer, play with them a little more, sneak in and watch them sleeping again, read to them some more, and watch them grow up. They've both grown up quiet well and I couldn't be more proud, but I miss the days when they were little and loved to be held close.

Time does slip away a bit too quick, especially as you get older, so make all the memories you can and enjoy the ride!!!

I must have done something good...

Oh I knew this would happen! I'd start a blog and then not post regularly!

Allow me to be completely mushy for a while!

On January 7, Dennis and I celebrated 37 years since our first date! We were in college and had returned that day from our Christmas break. I have to admit, over the break I thought of nothing else but Dennis! I had already fallen for him and was hoping he was starting to feel the same about me. Dennis called me at the dorm and asked me to go out that evening to see the movie, "The Way We Were." I don't remember a thing about the movie---honest! I remember who was in it, but nothing about the movie itself.

Dennis is the light of my life. He makes me complete and he brings me so much happiness. He makes me laugh (a lot) and has loved me unconditionally since our first date! Well, maybe he didn't love me on our first date, but for a long, long time!

I thank God for Dennis all the time. Like the words from a song in my favorite movie (the Sound of Music)...I must have done something good. I don't know what I did to deserve him, but how I thank God for him!
