For no reason at all.....

For the last few weeks, I've been receiving cards in the mail to my work address from Randy!  He's so thoughtful and sweet!  Each card has a personalized message and several are just funny.  I'm hanging them on the back part of my cube at work and the whole wall is almost full!  One day I received a HUGE box addressed to me.  At first I thought it was work related but when I opened the box, it was a beautiful clock....I LOVE clocks!  I collect them, so for him to think of that was very sweet!  I love this man!  Not only because he does these little things (and so many more I haven't mentioned on my blog) but because of the person he is, the husband he is and the father he is.  I feel very blessed to have him in my life.  Not only mine but in Mckelsie and Jayden's life.  AND....not only did I get Randy but I have three more beautiful children that I get to help Randy raise, love, care and laugh with. 

I am loving life!

All worth it moments!

Surprise!  I finally changed my last name, after 10+ months of being married!!  OFFICIALLY (not just on facebook)!!  YEAH!!!!

When I told Mckelsie that I had finally changed my last name she asked;

"Does that make me still related to you?"

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her!

 

Thought:

"Anger does not solve anything; it builds nothing. To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible."

~Thomas S. Monson

Education:

Do not educate your child to be rich.

Educate them to be happy.

So when they grow up,

they will know the value of things,

not the price.

Thoughts:

I'm often taken back, surprised and amazed by how sweet my husband is... nearly every day he shows me, tells me and teaches me, purely by example, to be a better person.  He is very patient, kind, thoughtful and seems to always have a pretty good pulse on how I'm feeling about something or a situation.  Today, I once again was reminded of just how blessed I am to have him in my life.  I'm so very grateful that our paths crossed, that he sent me those 500 emails on Match.com and that I gave him an "age exemption". 

I always knew that I did not want to live alone, but also knew that I did not want to live unhappy with someone that I didn't fully love or that didn't fully love me.  I knew that I had to have someone with patience, to help me care for my sweet Mckelsie and Jayden. Someone that could accept my past and be supportive of the decisions I've made with regards to that past that ultimately continue to affect our future.  I'm so grateful that Randy is the person he is and that he is willing to build and grow together with me.  I'm so grateful that we have similar views on life, on what really matters (family) and that he chooses to communicate with love and kindness. 

I've always thought that the people in and out of our lives, come in and out for a reason and my reasoning behind My Randy is that he provides a balance to my life that no one else could. 

I am so deeply in love with My Randy!
