Good Morning!

Yesterday was interesting...

First it was the anniversary of my Mom being gone... and although I had a few moments of melancholiness, overall I handled the day very well.

Of course that came from the love and support of my family~

My daughter talked me into a "beauty" day... we went and got our haircut together, then a manicure and pedicure :) it was fun! Lots of good Mother/Daughter time and really a good time.

So I have this nice new haircut~ it isn't anything dazzling just a nice simple cut. Easy to take care of but also easy to fuss with to make dazzling with a straightner and curlers...

Then it was off for the mani/pedi! It was so much laughing a giggling~ we were in the shop with a bunch of other folks and it was just a really fun time. I have PINK toes... I mean BRIGHT PINK! They are so cute. I was more restrained with my nails. They are pink but a much lighter and boring shade. But still nice.

Katie kept trying to convince me to get acrylics... but I just cannot see spending that kind of money for "fake" nails that pop off in a week. Washing dishes lifts them, you can't pick at things to pull up things like a label because it will lift them, you can't mess with oil and grease in your car because it stains them permantly... yeah I'll pass on acrylics.

But the manicure? Oh yeah! So nice to have my nails looking so pretty. I know that if I want to keep them like this I have to be responsible and do it. Well...

Now I have a real reason to do it! I have a RING! OMG so pretty! Dave is an amazing man! Found the perfect ring for me. Ok so Katie did help him :) She told him that a couple of them were just to big (thank you Katie for remembering Mom doesn't like big rings!) and then she told him a couple he liked were to decorative for me (again thank you Katie for remembering Mom likes things simple). So together the two of them found the ring I will be wearing for the rest of my life.

The rest of my life... wow! Like this man, he really is the ONE, the one I will spend my life with. I know that God is blessing this marriage and it is from him and of him and WOW!

I know that our marriage is going to take work and maintenance~ one of the things I have learned over the last 26 years of failed relationships... a relationship doesn't thrive and flurish when one forgets to take care of it every day. So many get complacent in their relationship and fail to take care of things...

Until death do us part... WOW!
