I have a week off!!!!!


That’s all, I won’t rub it in 🙂


Okay, maybe a little!  Next week I’ll be sleeping a lot, shopping some, sleeping some more, creating for St. Patrick’s Day, organizing my theme papers, and oh, did I mention sleeping…?  🙂


Now I’m done braggin’.


Today we made the little Georges and Abes from my President’s Day {Craftivities: Washington & Lincoln} packet.

The kiddies were beyond excited to hear that Abe kept things in his hat, and loved writing about it!
This little one would keep a “cat in the hat.”  Dr. Seuss on the brain??
Either that or she copied me, because I wrote that I’d keep a kitten inside my Abe hat, too, lol.

Please go visit Miss Squirrels and see how her little Presidents turned out… There may or may not be a vampire George Washington in her class… 🙂


Now it’s time for a little linky action:  Mrs. B. is hosting How’d you meet your hunny? so I thought I’d link up… who doesn’t love a little love story? 🙂


My husband and I officially “met” in middle school.  We went to school together from 4th grade  through HS.  He was like Mr. Popularity {captain of the football team, Homecoming King…} but didn’t travel with the other “popular” kids… he was friends with my friends.  But we weren’t friends.  I was actually good friends with *his* best friend… in fact, his best friend and I went to prom together.  And even still, me and hubs never talked.  It was like we didn’t know each other, even though we clearly did.

The oldest pic I could find on the computer!

Fast forward to the summer between fresh and soph year of college.  Hubs and I ran into each other at a house party.  We ended up sitting next to each other on the same couch, chit chatting {dare I say flirting??} all night.  At one point during the night, he had to run home to get something.  I was terrified he wouldn’t come back to his spot on the couch.  He gave me his unopened drink to hold, ran home, came back… and found me again.


I now joke by saying, “You had me at ‘hold my drink!'”  {Jerry Maguire reference, though I’ve never seen the movie, lol}.

From a few years back, at the Bronx Zoo!  I am wearing a shirt!

So anywho, after that party we made plans to hang out solo later that week.  We did and then…. then I had to go back to college two hours away!  At this point I was already head over heels in love with the *idea* of the two of us together.  We kept up our little relationship via AIM, alternating who would IM first {you remember those days right?  When you wanted to IM your crush every.time.they.signed.on. but didn’t want to be a stalker so you had to wait and see if they’d IM you first?} and then we moved onto texts… and visits… and finally at the end of November, he made us official!!

Mr. Right and Mrs. Always Right 🙂

On our five year anniversary he proposed, and we were married this July.  We celebrated seven years together in November.  And that’s that!  My little love story!


Have a great weekend, long weekend… or week off!! 😉
