Treasure Hunt Thursday #19 Highlights!!

Happy Hump Day y'all! I can NOT believe it is Wednesday already! It has been a busy week thus far with the boys BOTH back in school now. Oldest came home yesterday and told me that school was much better than sitting at home all day watching t.v. and playing video games! I am so glad he enjoys school so much and I hope it continues for him! The Hubster says he got it from him. I never disliked school when I was younger but I certainly never looked forward to it the way Oldest does. 

Anyways let's get on to THT Highlights shall we!? We had a great turn out last week with 18 party goers! Thanx ladies! I hope we continue to grow and get larger! The more the merrier! I have been super busy and have yet been able to create an "I've Been Featured Button" but I promise it is coming soon!:) For now please feel free to grab my regular button or the THT button and use it till I get one up. There were so many great finds from last week that it was hard to pick just three!

Did y'all see Catherina's Scandinavian Bed redo!!?? It is gorgeous! It probably is a good thing we only have boys!Ha!

Fit for a queen is right! Check out this awesome bench Flea Market Lynn found! It is just dreamy!

And last but certainly NOT least is this awesome hutch redone by Patricia Ann! Love how she added the date she was married at the bottom of the Fleur de lis design! 

Thanx again for linking up last week ladies and I hope to see y'all later this evening for Treasure Hunt Thursday #20!! Now I must get off and get ready for work!:0 Have a good one and see ya this evening!

Sneak Peek

Been a busy week trying to get the boys ready for back to school on Monday! It is hard to believe that summer is already over. This evening we went to Panther Camp...aka Open House...and met the boys teachers. The past two years we have been so blessed to have had two rocking teachers! Their pride in teaching and desire to make learning fun was quite apparent the moment you walked into their class rooms. This year not so much on the apparent side though both teachers seem very nice. 
Littliest will be going to  Kindergarten and lets just say he might as well be attending class in a cement box. It was literally that exciting y'all! I almost wanted to cry. There was not one fun thing about his class room what so ever and I just think that is a tragedy. Kids that age already have such a hard time leaving their mama's that they need to have a fun and exciting room to great them every day. I think I may just  have to sneak in there one day and do some decorating y'all!;)


On a differ note today instead of heading out to HobLob to get a few things I needed I worked on finishing up the new armoire.

I am 98.9% completed. I am thinking I may be changing the inside color so you will have to just wait for the big reveal!:)
Last but not least wish me luck for tomorrow! It is my first day on the job at The Old Oak Cottage! I know it will be fun but it will be so different. I have not worked outside the home in 7 years y'all! Yikes! I am truly blessed though because I do not think I could have found a better part time job! Thanx Marci for the opportunity!
  Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend! Enjoy your family and friends and stay cool! The car read 100 at 7:45 pm!! Please Fall find your way to us soon!!
Also before I forget thanx for all the Anniversary well wishes!! Y'all rock!

Treasures of a lifetime

August 18,2001 we began a journey of a lifetime. Two days after we were married we moved half way across the country from our family and friends.


Two and half years later we started our own family.


21 months later our family of three grew to a family of four.
 
Every day I thank the Lord above for you and our boys.
 
Every day I am reminded how truly lucky and blessed I am.

You are the best daddy and husband we could ever ask for. You make all of our dreams come true!

You make me laugh and you make me cry and though at times we may not like each other one thing is for sure we will always love each other!

Here is to the next ten years! I love you always & forever Boo Bear!!
