Random thoughts and other musings.

   I am sitting here writing this while the feeling slowly creeps back into my face. I had a tooth pulled this morning. I was extremely impressed with my dentist. He made sure I was comfortable, and it took him almost no time to get the tooth out. Always a plus in my book. I have had more than one tooth extracted that didn't want to leave my mouth. Those are the worst. Those are also the worst to heal from. I am keeping my fingers crossed that since it didn't really put up a terrible fight, it will heal quickly.

   I think Chase is still trying  to get over his cold. It's 12:00 pm and he's still asleep. I know with him being sick rest and sleep is the best thing for him. I told Jerry I'm just going to let him sleep until he wakes up. He should be in a good mood when that finally happens. I know I'm still trying to recover from my bout with that cold. Most of my symptoms are gone with the exception of this lingering nasty cough. I hate coughing.

   I seriously need to spend more time on my blog. It seems like I do good for a bit, then I let it fall to the wayside. I don't like that. I created this blog to keep track of everything. Seems like more often than not I don't blog, but I do write religiously in my paper journal. Go figure. Definitely something I need to work on.

   Jean'-Luc is showing steady improvement with his school work. Occasionally it's a fight to get him to do his homework, but at least his grades are showing the effort that is being made. His English teacher is amazing. I really like her a lot. His packet (grammar, spelling, and reading worksheets for the week) accidentally got thrown away, by him, before his teacher saw it. Instead of sending him to the office for an incomplete assignment like she could have, she sent it home with him to be redone. I appreciate that more than she will ever know, I know she didn't have to give him the second chance. Luckily she told me on the phone when we talked last week that since she realizes Jerry and I are caring, involved parents she will help us get him on track anyway she can. So far she has kept her word.

   I am married  to such an amazing man. Even after 8 years together the little things he does for me continues to surprise me. I know that's a good thing. I am reminded on a daily basis what a lucky lady I am. I thank the dear Lord everyday that he made that awesome man all mine. I look forward to us spending many, many, many more years together. I can't wait to see what happens. The ride so far has been amazing, and it just keeps getting better. Even though I didn't think it was possible I love him more with every passing day. He completes me in ways I never could have imagined.

   Wow this post is longer than I would have believed. I guess that's why I don't blog on pain meds. LOL. More later from this Funny Farm that is our life.

Happy Birthday to Me

Yesterday (2-10) was my 32nd birthday. I had a fabulous day. My husband bought me a new Citizen watch, I love it. He got me a Cookie Cake with purple (fave color) icing. I love that he actually takes the time to put thought into my present.
Also in other happy news I received word that I have been picked to participate in another Sample Share by Crowdtap. This one is for Old Navy. I am so very excited to have been chosen for this opportunity. Pictures to follow after I go shopping. =)
Jean'-Luc got progress reports on Thursday. I am happy to report 1 A (Science), 2 B's (Social Studies & English), and 1 C (Math). The C in Math is up from a D so we are very proud of the hard work he has put in.

 My gorgeous cake.

 My very special watch.

Happy 7th Anniversary to my awesome husband.

Seven years ago I married my very best friend. We've been together eight very wonderful years. I can honestly say I love him more with each passing day. I know that everything he does he does for us. I look forward to spending many, many, many more years with this awesome man.

Jerry, You are most definitely my best friend, the man of my dreams, and the love of my life. I thank God everyday for blessing me with you. Thank you for all of things you do. Know that I love you. I loved you yesterday, I love you today, I'll love you even more tomorrow, and for the rest of my life. Thank you for making me yours, and thank you for all of the wonderful memories. Most of all thank you for being you!!!! I love you!

My awesome husband

On October 18, 2003 was my very first day at a new job. This was also the day I met the man who I can now not picture being a part of my life. We spent the next two weeks getting to know each other. Jerry made a point of coming in the store every time he drove by and I was at work.

November 3, 2003- Jerry came into see me while I was at work. He asked what I was doing when I got off work. When I told him I didn't have any plans, he replied. "Spend some time with me. I promise if you give me a chance you'll never regret it."

November 3, 2011- 8 years later I am so very glad I took that chance. Jerry is my husband, my lover, my confidante, and my very best friend. I can not imagine my life without him in it. The longer he and I are together, the longer I hope we get to spend together. I love him more with every passing day. Until I met him I never understood unconditional love. Now I know what's it's like to be loved because of the person I am. I know that I deserve to be loved like this.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to my wonderful husband Jerry for 8 wonderful years, with many, many, many more to follow.

Jerry, I love you more than I can ever hope to be able to express in words. However, I plan to spend the rest of my life trying to show you. Thank you for being you. Also, thank you for loving me like you do!!!
                                                                  Love Always,
                                                                        Yours Forever,
                                                                             Suzanne
