    Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary

    Robert and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on Wedensday the 20th.. I can't believe how time has flown and we are now going past our 3rd.. in November we will have been together for 4 years and so much has changed for the good and bad.. but still has made us enriched in our lives with our experiences!!

    I had to work this week while Robert was able to enjoy a week off from work (lucky dog he is) but on Wedensday night we went out to eat for our anniversary.. Robert took me to Puleo's Grille since they opened up on Tuesday at a new location near where I work.. and WOW the food was just absolutely WONDERFUL!!!

    I had country fried steak with creamy whipped sweet potatoes and broccoli with carrot YUMMY!!! While Robert got the New York strip steak with baked potato and the broccoli and carrot veggie.. and we both really enjoyed the dinner!! After that we decided we would split a dessert.. and the waiter recommended the Chocolate Lasagna.. so we did get that and it was pretty good..

    We came home and we spent some of the night together just to cherish our memory :) unfortunely I had to go to work the next day :( But I'll still have our memory of our 3rd wedding anniversary!!!

    Next year HOPEFULLY we both can spend a week together on a road trip to Vermont for our anniversary.. who knows.. But that is our dream to go there one day for vacation!!

    Our Babies

    I thought I'd post a few pictures of our animals.. it's pictures of Max, Squeekers, and Snickers (aka RAT). Carmel and Monkey is somewhere around the house when these pics were taken.. so could only post 3 out of the 5 babies we got

    Max looking at his daddy!

    Dishwasher

    A couple of weeks ago as Robert decided to load the dishwasher for me.. he asked me what was wrong with the dishwasher as he tried to turn it on and it didn't work.. I thought well maybe the switch got turned off.. so a couple of days later I finally got around to checking out the dishwasher and it wasn't working for me either.. so I called my daddy to come over and check it out.. he came over and looked and did what he thought might make it work and it didn't work.. So daddy said I needed a new one.. while mary said well maybe we just need to have guy come out to check out maybe just a simple thing to fix..

    Robert and I talked about it and we decided we would get a new dishwasher.. but at first I wasn't gonna get a new one right away just to look around and see what we liked etc. and that's what we had agreed to do.. (YEAH RIGHT!!)

    We went to HHGregg where I had bought our new bed and we looked at the dishwasher's.. they had quite a few selection and we looked and we liked different ones.. but finally we agreed on a dishwasher and I told the lady we'd buy it.. (WHY DID I DO THAT???) so it was Monday before they were able to deliver it and so since Robert was on his vacation.. he could watch for them to bring it in etc. so it got installed Monday Morning..

    We finally did use the dishwasher and we LOVED it.. it was soooo quiet I have NEVER heard a dishwasher so quiet like this one!!! it was a good buy I thought..

    So here's a of picture of it :)

    Your Love Amazes Me

    Artist/Band: John Berry
    Your Love Amazes Me


    I've Seen the seven wonders of the world
    I've seen the beauty of diamonds and pearls
    But they mean nothing baby
    your love amazes me
    I've seen a sunset that would make you cry
    And colors of the rainbow, reaching across the sky
    the moon in all it's phases
    But your love amazes me

    Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
    You're the only one for me
    You give me hope
    You give me reason
    You give me somethng to believe in
    Forever Faithfully
    Your love amazes me

    I prayed for miracles that never came
    I got down on my knees out in the pouring rain
    But only you could save me
    Your love amazes me

    Don't you ever doubt this love of mine
    You're the only one for me
    You give me hope
    You give me reason
    You give me something to believe in
    Forever Faithfully
    Your love amazes me
    Your love
    But only you could save me
    Your love amazes me


    Robert and I are celebrating our 3rd anniversary on Sept. 20th which isn't that far off from now.. and when I remembered this song I had to find the words for it.. because it is just perfect...

    Robert's love is amazing.. he has had to endure my mood swings, my anger, and my good side of sweetness and I know that and I love him for all his patience with me.. (he has to hehe)

    I'll Be.....

    This is a song that I'd like to tell everyone that I care and love that I'll be.... read on and you'll see what I mean.. this comes from the heart...


    I'll be.. By Reba McEntire


    When Darkness falls upon your heart and soul,
    I'll be the light that shines for you
    When you forget how beautiful you are
    I'll be there to remind you
    When you can't find your way,
    I'll find my way to you
    When troubles come around,
    I will come to you.

    I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on
    Be your shelter
    When you need someone to see you through
    I'll be there to carry you
    I'll be there
    I'll be the rock that will be strong for you,
    The one that will hold on to you
    When you feel that rain falling down
    When there's nobody else around,
    I'll be...

    And when you're there with no one there to hold
    I'll be the arms that reach for you
    And when you feel your faith is running low
    I'll be there to believe in you
    When all you find are lies
    I'll be the truth you need
    When you need someone to run to
    You can run to me

    I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on
    Be your shelter
    When you need someone to see you through
    I'll be there to carry you
    I'll be there
    I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
    The one that will hold onto you
    When you feel that rain falling down
    When there's nobody else around
    I'll be

    I'll be the sun
    when your heart's filled with rain
    I'll be the one
    To chase the rain away

    I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on
    be your shelter
    When you need someone to see you through
    I'll be there to carry you
    I'll be there
    I'll be the rock that will be strong for you
    The one that will hold on to you
    When you feel that rain falling down
    When there's nobody else around
    I'll be
    I'll be..........


    This song has been around for a few years but everytime I hear it.. I want those who knows me and that I love in my lives.. family and friends.. I will be there for you during your good and bad times...

    I have grown so much closer to my sister the last 4 years.. She and I never really grew up that close and even when we were grown and married.. we weren't that close even though we knew we loved each other.. but when I went through my divorce.. it was something that helped me get through was my sister... and my mom if it wasn't for them I don't know where I'd be right now.. I had friends that helped me when I didn't want to burden my family.. and my family was still standing there in the end when I finally got back on my 2 feet.. I feel that they were there for me and I will always be there for them.. and for my friends..

    That's the beat of a heart

    This song is by Sara Evans and the Warren Brothers.. they came together to make this song.. and I think it's a very beautiful song.. and I wanna share it with those who don't know this song...


    Artist/Band: Sara Evans
    Lyrics for song: that's the beat of a heart (The Warren Brothers/Sara Evans)


    Sometimes it's hard to not wanna look over your shoulder
    cause you don't want to remember where you've been
    There'll come a time you die,
    If you could only hold her
    Cause I know that's where I am

    So listen with all your heart
    Hold it inside forever
    You may find all your dreams have already come true
    Look inside and find the part that's leading you
    Cause that's the beat of a heart

    Sometimes you'll drown it out with all your rage and thunder
    Sometimes you'll drown it out with all your tears
    There'll come a time when you hear it and you'll wonder
    Where in the world have I been?

    So listen with all your heart
    Hold it inside forever
    You may find all you dreams have already come true
    Look inside and find the part that's leading you,
    Cause that's the beat of the heart
    No one can tell you how to get there
    It's a road you take all by yourself
    All by yourself
    All by yourself

    So listen with all your heart
    Hold it inside forever
    You may find all your dreams have already come true
    Look inside and find the part that's leading you
    Cause that's the beat of
    Oh it's the sweetest sound,
    Cause that's the beat of the heart..

    In Honor Of Steve Irwin

    This is in honor of Steve Irwin.. This is one of my absolute favorites by Brad Paisley....

    Artist/Band: Paisley Brad
    Lyrics for Song: When I Get Where I'm Going
    Lyrics for Album: Time Well Wasted
    (Feat. Dolly Parton)

    When I get where I'm going
    On the far side of the sky
    The first thing that I'm gonna do
    Is spread my wings and fly

    I'm gonna land beside a lion
    And run my fingers through his mane
    Or I might find out what it's like
    To ride a drop of rain

    (Chorus:)
    Yeah when I get where I'm going
    There'll be only happy tears
    I will shed the sins and struggles
    I have carried all these years
    And I'll leave my heart wide open
    I will love and have no fear
    Yeah when I get where I'm going
    Don't cry for me down here

    I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
    And he'll match me step for step
    And I'll tell him how I missed him
    Every minute since he left
    Then I'll hug his neck

    So much pain and so much darkness
    In this world we stumble through
    All these questions I can't answer
    So much work to do

    But when I get where I'm going
    And I see my maker's face
    I'll stand forever in the light
    Of his amazing grace
    Yeah when I get where I'm going
    There'll be only happy tears
    Hallelujah
    I will love and have no fear
    When I get where I'm going
    Yeah when I get where I'm going


    Steve Irwin was really loved by everyone.. I loved watching any show he did and it was pretty awesome to watch how he would get any animal he was trying to capture so he could relocate it to a safer area for the animal and humans both...

    It was a real shock to find out he died and I hope that his family will find comfort in knowing.. that he is looking down and watching over them and he will be their angel... Rest In peace Steve!!

    Bring It On Home.....

    Artist/Band: Little Big Town
    Lyrics for Song: Bring It on Home
    Lyrics for Album: The Road to Here

    You've got someone here
    Wants to make it all right
    Someone to love you more
    Than I have right here
    You've gotta bring it on and I'll hold you tight
    A hand to lead you on through the night right here
    I know your heart can get
    All tangled up inside
    But don't you keep it to yourself

    When your long day is over
    And you can barely drag your feet
    When the weight of the world
    Is on your shoulders
    I know what you need
    Bring it on home to me

    You know I know you
    Like the back of my hand
    You know I'm gonna do
    All that I can right here
    Gonna lie with you
    Till you fall asleep
    When the morning comes
    I'm still gonna be right here
    Yes, I am
    (Ooooooooooooo)
    So take your worries and
    Just drop them at the door
    Baby, leave it all behind

    When your long day is over
    And you can barely drag your feet
    When the weight of the world
    Is on your shoulders
    I know what you need
    Bring it on home to me

    Baby, let me be your safe harbor
    Don't let the water come
    And carry you away

    When your long day is over
    And you can barely drag your feet
    When the weight of the world
    Is on your shoulders
    I know what you need
    Bring it on home to me

    Oh, bring it on home
    Oh, bring it on home to me
    Home to me
    Oh, bring it on, bring it on home to me

    You've got someone here wants
    To make it all right
    Someone who loves you more
    Than life right here


    I love this song so much.. it's a new one and it does show what Robert does for me.. When I have a bad day at work.. he always wants to make it alright for me when I get home.. and I am so thankful that I have a loving husband like Robert...

    He has done so much for me and it always makes me sad cause when he has a bad day at work and he'll call me at lunch time... and he wants to tell me his bad day and he just wants to hear my voice so that way it'll show him everything will be alright.. But I don't react the way he hopes.. I get mad when he gripes about work but when we hang up .. I always feel bad for doing that to him cause he is always soo good to me when I have a bad day.. But still deep down in my heart I love Robert so much and I'm glad he is willing to accept me the way that I am and I do thank you honey for that..

    Come Home Soon

    Artist/band: SheDaisy
    Lyrics For Song: Come Home Soon
    Lyrics for Album: Sweet Right Here

    I put away the groceries
    And i take my daily bread
    i dream of your arms around me
    As I tuck the kids in bed

    I don't know what you're doing
    And I don't know where you are
    But I look up at that great big sky
    And I hope you're wishin on the same bright star

    I wonder I pray

    And I sleep alone
    I cry alone
    And it's so hard living here on my own
    So Please, Come home soon
    Come home soon

    I know that we're together
    Even though we're so far apart
    And I'll wear our lucky penny around my neck
    Pressed to my heart

    I wonder, I Pray

    I still Imagine your touch
    it's beautiful missing something that much
    But sometimes love needs a fighting chance
    So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance

    I wonder, I pray

    I sleep alone
    I cry alone
    Without you this house is not a home
    So please, come home soon

    I walk alone
    I try alone
    I'll wait for you, Don't want to die alone
    So please, come home soon

    Come home soon
    Come home soon.....
