Things We Do For Love

Every year our church has a "Things We Do For Love" Night. All the couples in the church are invited. We usually have a dinner and then play the "Not-so Newly-Wed Game". This is the highlight of the night and everyone loves to come see how the couples answer questions about each other.

This year our Pastor's wife wanted to do something different. She had all the women right a poem to their husbands and all the men were to sing a song to their wives. Several of the men sang really sweet songs to their wives. A few I remember are "Valentine", "Lady" and there was a country tune in there as well. Almost all the men teared up! I couldn't believe it! They were so sweet.

Now I am not the mushy gushy type usually. I should say that I like getting mushy cards and such, it's just that I am not very good at expressing myself without a LOT of humor! So when it came time for Sugarbritches and I to come forward I was very nervous! I had a short poem about how I liked looking at his rear and how he made my heart say "Oh Boy" but nothing too lovey dovey. I really wasn't expecting SB to even participate....but Bless his heart!


My hubby....quite, never draw attention to himself hubby....got the microphone and after saying repeatedly "I can't believe I am doing this"
sang a song in front of everyone! He picked Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You"!! If you know me you know I LOVE Rod Stewart!!


It was such a huge gesture on his part! I was so proud! And I kinda felt bad too.....here he was really putting himself out there and all I could muster up was a few lines about his booty! *LOL*

Another thing that made that song so special was he and I have been going through a little bit of a rough patch lately. I have just been feeling very unappreciated and unloved. And he says it's not true but I have been needing more than words you know?

When he finished singing and we sat down I told him he scored BIG brownie points! He said "Good! Does this mean you know I love you now?" I do know it.....I just need to be reminded every once in awhile.

2...2...2 posts in one! One day that is.....

That's right dear readers! I know I haven't been posting like I should but hopefully I can catch you guys up on my semi-boring life! *L*

First, lets's start with the retreat! Feb. 3rd - 5th 24 of my scrapbooking buddies and I got together and scrapped all weekend long! I had a blast seeing my friends. This retreat was so laid back and fun! I got several pages done in an album I was working on for my brother. When I showed it to him he said that he wanted some of those pictures because he didn't have any from when we were young. I said "Dingbat these are your pictures!" He had misunderstood what I was telling him and he thought I was going to give the album to our mother. I know I have had these pictures for 6 yrs and I was suppose to be working on an album for her but come on now! It was full of pics of just him or pics of he and I together! *LOL* I do need to work on her album though....my goal is to have it completed by Mother's Day!

On the 10th we had a small suprise party for my brother's birthday. Most of the family came to my house. We ordered pizzas, hung out and just spent some time together. Even my mom and her husband came. I think Danny was suprised, especially by the cake and album. I hope to get a few more pages done for it by the weekend. I told him he would need to give me pics from highschool until now so I could finish it up and he said he would.

Head 'em up Move 'em out!

No... stepmonster is not moving out!


That's what you thought when you read the title right? No such luck.....you know I say that with love! *G*




I am getting ready to head out the door for our Scrapbook retreat!! I am so excited but I still have so much to do! I have a few stops to make and then when I arrive at the Camp I have to get things set up, organize my own stuff, help everyone else unload and find their room and then I can start to relax and enjoy everyone's company! Luckily this year several ladies have asked if they can come early to help me set up. Who am I to turn down free labor? *L* I do wish I could get everything set up before people arrive only because I think it looks more professional but someone told me this week that the ladies were just so happy to get away that helping me out for a little while was more than worth it! *G* Most of us are moms can you tell?

When I get home Sunday afternoon I will have to get some things ready for a Superbowl party! I am not sure who to pull for really....part of me wants the Steelers to win because I don't think they've ever been to a Superbowl...and part of me wants the SeaHawks to win because they are from our division. But either way I hope it's a good game and I mostly watch for the commercials anyway! *L*

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend!!
