It's Perfect Loving You..... Most Days!

Today was a spoiled day, a day of putting my needs first (these days are few & far between!) but I did it & I enjoyed it! I slept in until 7:30 AGAIN! (Thanks Beast!) and then I worked until 2, while at work I requested breakfast & the Hubs delivered~ not sure what he's up to but I'm not asking either! He then ran my errands and picked up some of the house.... I think today is some holiday I don't know about! After work I bought a dress! Anyone that knows me is aware this is kind of a big deal since most our money goes to feeding, clothing & keeping the younger 4 Brackels busy!

I actually had a reason to buy a dress so maybe it's just a technicality, my reason for the dress was.... Anthony & I got our pictures taken today!!!!!!!!!! This is a HUGE deal! He loathes getting in front of a camera but he likes me so it all evens out! Anyways, we won a photo contest a few weeks back so we went for it & since today was a me day I got photos of just us! Amber was our photographer, very young, very spunky, very unsure of my crazy husband! We had a lot of fun & I think he may even do it again sometime. Here are a couple of the photos!

Thanks again Amber at Treasured Moments Photography! After pictures Anthony went grocery shopping with me & then to visit a couple friends. After that it was dinner at a local Italian place!

The cashier at Wal-Mart told us we were "adorable", our waitress thought it was one of our first dates! At another table an older couple looked over at us & grinned to each other.....

 I got home just in time to share a cannolli  with each of my girls & send them to bed~ folders still stuffed with papers, tales of their school day adventures have yet to be told, dinner for them was microwaved but something tells me that they'll be ok, the world won't explode because I skipped story time this one Friday & my kids won't grow up to be monsters because I chose date night for once. Anthony & I giggled, we talked about our 8 year long journey that brought us to where we stand today, we shared new dreams & hopes that have changed in the last 8 years. We have different values than we did back then, we shared our favorite memories about the kids, reminisced about a lot of our "firsts" and agreed that we are still learning from each other & finding new things to love about each other.



Tonight will go down as a perfect night with my husband. I think sometimes people get so busy in the day to day you start to under appreciate your partner, you take advantage of them & become resentful towards the cool life they have versus what you do..... I know that had been happening here. Take time to step away and just be together, I'm going to bed now, it's my last night in my husbands' arms for two weeks. I know I'm going to get upstairs, fight about why I NEED all the pillows (& blankets) kiss him playfully & PASS OUT! He will find a quarter of a pillow, snuggle up to my giant head of hair and hold me. It's something we joke about every day & it's one of my favorite moments to hold on to.....
