What I Say About MY Loved One...

After this post, I figured I should fill you in a bit more on my loved one.  Sometimes I forget that you guys don't all know us in real life, so you don't know the everyday stuff.  So here are a few things you would know if you've met my husband in person...

Adam...

--will always help a friend, family member, or stranger out
--makes dinner every night
--gets Murdock & Jordyn ready and dropped off at daycare each morning

Okay...I should stop.  I'm sure you guys don't care as much as I do...haha! :)  Basically he's the perfect match for me.  I always say {and totally mean!} he is the half the makes me whole.  We are each other's opposites.  He brings out the fun in me and I add structure to him! :)  I don't know what I did without him!!

[new] balance

So...Adam and I watched something interesting on the History Channel last night about New Balance [the shoe company]

NB has 5 plants

ALL in the United States

They make 1 shoe size per plant per day

NM donates personalized shoes to all areas of the military 

They shared so much more than that, but that was enough to make me want to trade in my Nikes for NewBalance...and yes that makes me feel old, but that's okay! :)

Just Thursday!

So..since you all put up with me being so late last week..I thought I should make it up to you this week by posting really early & hosting a giveaway [it's my birthday..I guess I'm feeling generous :]!  

The most link ups I have had are 13, so I have decided that if I can get more than 15 people to link up this week, I'll put all your names into a drawing for a prize.

What will the prize be you ask?  Great question!  I'll give away 1 gift card for the value of link up [17 link ups=$17..23 link ups=$23] & the gift card is to wherever the winner chooses!

Outside my window.. it's going to be mid 80's - perfect [well except for the humidity that is]!! 

The time is.. 6:13 am

Today I feel.. sad..it's my last day with the kiddos.

I am thinking.. I have watched these kids nearly 100 days..but it seems like so much longer when I think about the bond we now share.

At the moment, I am thankful.. for the opportunity to spend the last 9 months with these kids..they have taught me so much!

I am going.. to start my new job Monday!

I am wearing.. comfy clothes on a Thursday for the last time!

I wish.. I could say I wasn't nervous about my new job

I am reading.. If you have to cry go outside by Kelly Cutrone

I am working on.. birthday thank yous!

I am hoping.. the transition process goes well!

I am hearing.. Murdock & the Mr snoring!

I bet you didn't know.. We're having dinner with my Grandpa [great uncle] Keith, Aunt Sharon, and Cousin Sheri tonight!! I'm so excited..they're from Oregon and we don't get to see them much anymore! :(
