Dear mr. awesome,
Has it really been three years that I’ve been calling you that? More, really- since I gave you that nickname the first week we were dating. I remember you rambling on and on our first date about all of your amazing qualities- how great you were at money management (I didn’t [...]

Background information for this post: With the exception of one evening in February, Garth and I have not been out without the kiddo since he was born (14 months ago!). We don’t live near family or have a good babysitter, so we spend more of our post-7pm evenings at home, watching movies in [...]

Happy Birthday Mr Awesome!
January 5th, 2010 No Comments
Garth is 31 today. He is such a super person, and that makes me one lucky girl. He woke up this morning on his birthday, made Jack a bottle, then let me sleep in and brought me hot chocolate in bed. Gosh, if only everyday was his birthday!
love you, Mr. Awesome.
Mrs. Awesome.

We got our official souvenier photo from the Navy Birthday Ball back today, and it’s so darling. I just wanted to share it, and share this group of photos that Mr. Garth has added to his flickr account. They are from his re-enlistment ceremony on Halloween- where he was dressed as Popeye. [...]

Welcome to the Hotel California.

A few weeks ago Garth and I started noticing the evidence of an uninvited guest living in our home. We found tiny droppings and half-chewed cupcake wrappers. We pulled our Halloween candy from the top shelf and found a tootsie pop that had been licked to the tootsie part on one side, wrapper [...]

Garth was a super sport today in modeling 20 newly created bow ties for me this morning in the really intense Florida sun. So I made him some peaches and cream, and then he took a little nap on our front porch, using my pumpkin as a pillow. This kid can sleep anywhere, [...]
