Playing catch-up again...

Happy New Year!!!!!! I hope you all had a WONDERFUL holiday season. I am sad it has come and gone so quickly. I apologize for being a HUGE slacker (Mom and Dad)...but I seem to be spending a ton of time on Facebook finding so many people from high school. It has been a blast to reconnect with so many after 20+ years! Anyway we are all healthy and happy here. It has been snowing for 2 days and it is so beautiful outside. I love driving in my car all toasty warm with the snow falling all around me. My husband plowed snow yesterday and then got up at 3 this morning and plowed til 7p.m. tonight. And he will be up again at 3 to do it all over again. And boy was he slap-happy tonight at dinner. I was laughing soooo hard!!!! The kids are back in school and I miss having them around. We had a fun 2 weeks..didn't do a ton but were all together hanging...so fun! I went to lunch with my sis-in-law and I was reflecting in my mind and was struck again at how blessed I am to be married to Marc. Now try not to be too shocked but I have had a pretty wild past (Shocking I know!!!! ha ha ha ha) and you can ask my parents and they will tell you I have ALWAYS had to learn things the hard way...lol But I the reason I am so blessed with Marc is he knows EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING about my past. And I LOVE that!!!! Now, I will never say I made mistakes...bit I will say I made poor choices. I don't believe much in mistakes..I knew what I was doing. But what is so amazing is that I have this wonderful man and I can tell him ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!!!! What a wonderful feeling to know I have this relationship and never have to keep secrets or hide things. And we can laugh about it.. and we do! Everything I have done has made me who I am today and guess what??? I absolutly LOVE who I am today!!!! Now 10 or even 5 years ago I could not say I love me....I didn't love my thighs, or my nose,(you know what I mean) but I didn't get it then! And I still don't LOVE my thighs (ha ha who loves their thighs??) but I love that I am a true loyal friend. I love that when I can see a total stranger hurting I want to make her feel good about who she is and want to become her friend. I love that I can see beauty in every single woman I meet. And I am thankful for every single hardship and heartache I went thru for many years to become who I am today. I would not change one single thing from my past....(well except the bi-level hair cut with a duck tail in the back when I was 14....) and I am sooo greatful I have eternity to be with a kind, loving, non-judging, goofy, good smellin, Tim McGraw lovin man!!!! I love you Marc!!!!
