Went to the Beach Yesterday

(Above: A lil sea shell I saw by driftwood)

(Above: My Feet...lol)

With my BF Holly whom I've known since Kindergarten : ) It was fun we got there around 1 and left about 5:30 so we were there a while and it was in a private area not many people came back that way and at some points we had the whole beach to ourselves ^ ^ It was fun I got a little sun burn on my usual spots but I also got somewhat of a tan and the kids had a blast. Next time we will be going to the one Halls prefers. (Yes I call Holly Halls..lol not sure why I just do) Well Figure I'd tell you whats up I am about to go do some working out now ^ ^

The Time Traveler's Wife - Prologue

I started to read a few pages of The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffeneggger and the Prologue caught me off guard and made me ponder something that after thinking about it made total since to me!!

From the Prologue said by Clare:

"everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by absence?"

And it is, in some ways. Like I love My husband way more this time around then I did last time and I guess just over time in General has resulted in me loving my Husband even more. I am totally grateful for such a wonderful man wanting to be my partner in life for the rest of our lives!! It's sorta funny because some of the things he still does bothered me when we were teenagers dating back when I was 14 and he was 17...lol Like his protectiveness for example or how he liked touching me always even if just holding my hand. These things don't bother me now and I have no problems comforting him by giving him any answers he asks of me sometimes (When I go out places with friends and he stays home, he sorta is still a bit jealous : ). He is very loyal to me too as I am to him and this is really refreshing considering I've seen and heard of some many marriages end since he has been in the Military. I'd give up so many things now just to keep him in my life. My kids too!! They are the biggest piece of my life now and I love all three of them with every part of me!!

~Anyway's~

My wrist is hurting even more and now the pain has rised to be in the center of my palm now!! So I need to get off of here and all. I should go see my Doctor but he is the same one that said it's nothing and if it hurts just take Motrin...blah I guess if it gets to much worse I'll have to go in!

Girl with a Muff

Well Mom and I were going through some old patterns we got while at the Thirft Store (Same time when I got the Daisy items) and we came across this one and when we read the title for it we busted out laughing...rofl I wanted to share the pattern with you.

~Also~

A muff is a fashion accessory for outdoors usually made of a cylinder of fur or fabric with both ends open for keeping the hands warm. Just thought I'd let you know what it really means : D

My Lil' Thrift Store Find ^ ^

I purchased all three of these items at a Thrift Store yesterday while I was out with my Mom. Yes I sometimes shop there and I was there looking for Shorts for my oldest son who keeps growing out of all his cloths and I just can't afford to keep buying them brand new and besides there is nothing wrong with buying stuff from thrift stores any way's!! But yeah I bought these items and fell in love with the little theme I seemed to have started and decided this will be my new Living room theme now!! Hubby and I were still working on what type of theme we wanted to do and this was just PERFECT!! I bought all the items above for a total of $5.75 not bad huh : )!! So needless so say now I am on a hunt for matching items I've found some stuff on Amazon.com that I liked alot and added to my lil wish list he he but I am sure over time I will buy the items one here and there. But yeah I am pretty excited to finally have a theme to work on plus I added the photo's I took in my Mom's Garden and added them to kodakgallery.com and have ordered the heart shaped one I took as a 8 x 10 and then the other two Daisy photo's I took as 5 x 7's and will place them in frames as well. I also came across this cute little setup from a magazine and decided I am going to steal the idea but change it up a bit. Someone took a wooden trellis and added little charms and decorations to it and placed it on a wall of there house. Well I thought it would be cute to try the same thing but add different sized Photo frames, but I am still thinking that one over. Well I better get going I have a book I am reading and I am really getting into it!! Talk to you all later...

The Peacock

PEACOCK
The Peacock is a sacred bird in many cultures. Special companion to the goddesses Hera and Juno, and to the Indian god Murugan, the peacock is usually thought of as a symbol of vanity, but these birds, which are a species of pheasant, are also honored in India as one of the few creatures which can hunt and kill the deadly Cobra. The Kurdish Jezidi considered the peacock to be a messenger of God.
The peacock in mythology is often identified with - or even considered identical to - the Phoenix. The Phoenix and the Peacock both symbolize resurrection and life after death. The Egyptians thought of the Phoenix as an emblem of Ra, the Sun God. St. Augustine believed that the peacock's flesh, like that of a saint, would not decay, and early Christians believed that a peacock's blood would repel evil spirits.

The information and Photo I collected for this came from:

There is a long story as to why I people now associate me with Peacocks so that's why I added this here : P Maybe if I get enough people to ask me about it I'll write my little story here for all to see...rofl
