about me

My photo
near st. louis, mo, illinois, United States
I have been married to my best friend for over 23 years and have made a lifetime of memories with him. I am a SAHM to three nearly grown children. I try to spend my 'spare time' creating and preserving memories using photographs, when not out making more memories!

i'm back.......

well, it has been nearly a month since i last posted. time has flown.........i am now a mother-in-law and the mother of a 20 year-old son & a 23 year old-son {plus our 21 1/2 year-old daughter}. our daughter-in-law is also OFFICIALLY a registered nurse!! woo hoo leah on acing the test!!!what is not to love about this life?? in less than a month, david's and my life has been changed day by day, and i am sure that there is still more to come....

less than two weeks after josh's wedding, i began working at barnes & noble {david's & my hangout of choice!!} and he was in st. louis for six days doing training while i stayed home and adjusted to working outside the home {it had been EXACTLY 23 years since i had done so!!}. i went and met him on wednesday night for dinner and a "sleepover" at the hotel. okay, when he texted me and asked me to meet him for dinner since we hadn't seen each other for three days i texted, " that is a long drive for dinner, i have to work in the morning. he texted back, "well you could pack a bag and stay." i texted back, "really?" he texted back, "well... we are married." it felt a bit naughty... so glad i didn't have to tell my mom that i was meeting him, at a hotel no less!!! :)

i have many photos of wedding things to post, scrapbook pages, wedding gifts, etc..... i hope that you are not bored or overwhelmed, if so...close the blog now!!!
**DENISE!! THIS IS FOR YOU!!**

I am sure they loved all of the hardwork you put into, and I am glad that you were able to finish it in time. I hope soon you are able to create another wonderful album for the loving couple.
