yes, smiling.

because when i start to think of what i’m thankful for,

i smile.

i smile because i think of my husband and how good his soul is.
his determination to make me laugh in my worst of moods,
he is so much more than i ever deserved.

i smile because i think of my oldest daughter who is more and more beautiful everyday, and in so many ways a mini-me in character, and in so many ways constantly teaching me to be better.

i smile because i think of my moosey, her sassy humor, always ready to tell you her leatest joke.

her latest story.

happy birthday, husband!

dusty and i were engaged to be married,
and during that time dusty rhodes turned twenty-five.
the first birthday gift i ever chose for him
was a pair of roller blades.
this boy was raised out where there was not a lot of pavement.
mostly gravel, and ranchland.
he did not grow up riding bikes, or roller blades.
so, we started roller blading together.
you should have seen him going across the suu campus
on those roller blades…
you can imagine, leaning waayyy forward,
knock-knee’d, it was sooo funny!
that was only one of our

first adventures together

.....

“cheers!” to twelve years!

shannon & casey are one of the cutest couples around,
and on saturday we actually tagged-along on their
twelth anniversary date!

shannon has a private blog, so not all of you can read her cute engagement story she re-told for their anniversary, but it’s so sweet, I just had to post a snip-it of it here…

“(Our engagement story…)

It was in Boise that Casey surprised me with a proposal and it was those mighty home runs that paid for my ring. The Boise Hawks had a “Booster Club” that passed around “money buckets” to a nightly sold out crowd of @ 5,000 people any time one of the players hit a home run.
