Time goes by....

It was our anniversary today....which makes it 12 years we've been hitched. I was looking through our photos for an old picture of Brent and I, and it was so fun to reminisce about the great times and we have been blessed with many. We still have so much fun together, and he is truly my best friend. We had decided not to purchase anything for each other and to go on a date night, so we were surprised when my good friend Jennie gave us a cute card and some yummy homemade treats. (of which I ate all) Thanks Jennie!! I was teasing Brent that it was pretty sad when the only gift you get on one's anniversary, is from someone else. We're a couple of goofs. Thanks for 12 wonderful and fun filled years Brent!

Our crazy weekend was devoted to my mom, Ann, and errands related to her new home. In three days, we accomplished an insane amount. I had so much fun with her, and to see a side I don't think any of my sisters or I would have believed she had. What an amazing shopper. Who'd have guessed?These are some pictures of my mom's new house. It is going to be so fun for us to have her close by. Both of my girls were heartbroken when she left this morning. Emmy stood at the door and said 'gama' for an hour. Poor baby.

This is the most color in my mom's house ever. All of the daughters, told her she could NOT paint it white. The house is darling, and just her size. She let me come along to help her shop for some new furniture, and is such a good sport to let my decorating obsessiveness take right over. Here are some pix of her new living room and kitchen sets.How fun are these? I realized this weekend that I can get a shopping fix, just by spending someone else's money. How Fun ! Everything is going to come together and look great. I am so proud of her. She is so giving and sweet, and would do anything for my family. I am glad that she took some time (and money) and treated herself to something she deserves. Way to go. Love you MOM!

You and Brent look so young! I remember the day. I'm glad Mom will be able to enjoy her youngest grandkids. She is a great grandma. So every time Mom asked me what color/type/brand/cost I said ASK BROOKE.
