Secret Gift for Seth

Grace and I bought Seth a wonderful gift and we can't wait to give it to him on Sunday. I will give you loyal blog readers a few hints....it is something you wear. It's cute so he might hate it. (Since it comes from a little girl that means he will have to wear it or break her little heart.) Here is another clue...she found it at Wal-Mart. Stumped aren't ya! I think it is pretty cool and even cooler that Grace just HAD to get it for him. LOL! So, go ahead fellow bloggers guess away. I know Lauren will love this most and maybe Carol too. If you guess right I will tell you but you have to promise to keep the secret! No general guesses you have to be dead on or I won't tell you and you will have to wait like everyone else :) Muahahaha Muahahaha haaaaaaaa!

First day of school

So today is the first day of school for Grace. She looked so cute this morning! She is getting to be such a big girl. She asked me this morning if 3rd grade will be hard. Of course I tell her no it will be a breeze and I hope that it is for her. I can't wait to pick her up from school and see how her day was. I miss her today. This house seems so quiet without her here. I am not one of those parents that can't wait for school to start to get rid of her. I enjoy her alot and I always look forward to picking her up and hearing all about everything she learned. She reminded me just a few days ago that in 8 yrs she will be driving! Wow. A glimpse into the future.

Surprise!

I have the most amazing husband. I can't even tell you how wonderful he has made this birthday this year. He surprised me with a new Coach purse that I had my eye on. I had no clue he was going to get it for me. It is perfect in every way. He let me spend the WHOLE day on my birthday reading my beloved book with no disturbance or complaint. He cooked me dinner on the grill and spent the night hanging out with Grace so I could read in peace. WAIT! It gets so much better. I came home Saturday night after a long day at work and he had planned a surprise birthday party for me. He invited my friends and family and lots of them came to celebrate with me. It meant a lot to me that he took such pains to plan this for me. Grace kept it a secret for a really long time and never gave so much as a hint of the party. I am usually annoyed by such things as surprise parties and to be honest at first I wasn't at all thrilled by the party. Then I saw how much work everyone put into the party and how Garry's eyes lit up when he saw me come home. Becky brought me my very own Princess cake. 2 layers. No kidding here. It was a very nice surprise.

The book........

It was amazing :)
