Me & My Guy
Me & My Guy
Steve and I have been together for thirty three years and have been blissfully married for twenty nine of them. We met when I was babysitting for his brother. True story! Two weeks after our first date, I left for college. Four years and countless long-distance calls later, we were married. That was just the beginning of our story.
Our Firstborn - Madison Marie
Our Firstborn - Madison Marie
Madison is our oldest child. She is twenty-four and an absolutely beautiful soul. She puts her love of fashion, makeup, and people to use every day at her very own bridal boutique, Madison Marie Bridal! Madison also loves tea, reading, and traveling. She and her amazing husband Nicolas have traveled all over Europe, including spending time in his beautiful homeland of Denmark. Together, these two young people are working hard and making a beautiful life for themselves here while incorporating many of the Danish traditions he holds dear.
Our Second Born - Peyton Rose
Our Second Born - Peyton Rose
Peyton is the kindest, sweetest twenty-year-old you will ever meet. She loves to cook, bake, and can run this entire household while also working with Madison at the store. She excelled at school, in fact, she graduated a year early and is also a best friend to Flynn. Peyton recently met her person in Christopher when he was playing the violin at mass, and the two are literally a match made in Heaven. They recently became engaged, and are both so very happy.
Our Son - Rhett Stephen
Our Son - Rhett Stephen
Rhett, our only son, is eighteen and the sweetest soul ever. He always looks out for everyone and brings joy to everyone he meets. Rhett makes all of us laugh every single day! He loves music, movies, Reese Peanut Butter Cups, and The Houston Rockets. He recently graduated from high school and is excited to begin working with Steve in the family business. He also loves to bring me Nachos Bellegrande with pico de gallo and guacamole from Taco Bell.
Our Baby - Flynn Grace
Our Baby - Flynn Grace
Flynn is our blessing from God. She is eleven years old and the joy of all our lives. Flynn loves music, especially One Direction, video games, homeschool, playing outside, playing guitar, watching soccer, especially her favorite team Barcelona, archery, Legos, taking pictures of Legos, making memes, and white milk. She enjoys being home with her mom and loves nothing more than being with her whole family. Flynn will help anyone who asks, and is a pro video game player! She keeps up with all of us and reminds us to enjoy the things that keep us young. She was a gift to me at forty years of age, and I am thankful for her every single day.
Our Pups - Kirby & Mocha
Our Pups - Kirby & Mocha
Kirby is our twelve-year-old Lhasapoo. He is practically human and waits all day for Steve to come home. Peyton is his favorite human, and he loves Kraft cheese singles. The tiny, sweet pup is my Mocha. She is a five-year-old Yorkiepoo and is my literal shadow. She loves snuggling with me, looking for me, and sharing my last sip of coffee. Some say she barks too much. I'm not so sure that's true.

Have a wonderful day. I did send each of the Grands a valentines card apart fro the two little ones they knew I was there secret admirer, they recognised my writing. They all phoned to let me know they love me too.
ReplyDeleteI remember about 10 years ago at least 20 of my 24 team of Irish dancers were from the Catholic school here. We had class on Wednesday and they would all come with ashes ion their foreheads and then would sweat if off by the end of class. Happy beginning of lent and Happy Valentines day!
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit strange indeed to have the start of Lent on Valentine's Day, but yet how fitting, as we embrace the greatest display of love the world has ever known. Hugs to you today :)
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful Valentines Day and Ash Wednesday, s miles...
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, sweet friend. Thank you for the lovely visit to my blog.

Special day of love❤️ Hope you had a great day. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI hope your day was full of love and blessings, Billie Jo. ♥
ReplyDeleteA sweet post...and I have a big ole box of chocolates to have with my coffee, tea or a glass of cold milk. Hoping you day was blessed...
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I forgot that some people celebrate Ash Wednesday with the ashes on their forehead. I saw a girl yesterday with a smudged cross on her forehead. It caught my eye, and I quickly looked away, because I didn't want her to think I was staring at her 'scar'... lol. Then I saw on the news that a local town was doing a drive by ash blessings (or whatever it's called) and I was in that town yesterday. So then I laughed at myself and knew what I had seen!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!!
