Surprise!

It's no surprise to me that I'm married to THE best guy in the world, but just in case you all weren't sure about it...  

Last Thursday was our 14th wedding anniversary. This is what we looked like the day we got married:

We had a bit of a tough year, with his surgery, his deciding whether to retire or not (he's not retiring!), lay-offs at my company which thankfully didn't affect me...

Guess he decided I deserved more than "just" flowers this year  (we never exchange anniversary gifts - we just go out to eat and he sends me flowers). 

This is what he got me this year:  OMG!!!

He's a wonderful husband!  Think I'll keep him for sure!!!

S Family Picnic

We had such a great time yesterday. We invited hubby's sister and her family up to the lake house for the day.  They say a  picture is worth a thousand words, so I'll shut up now and just post my pictures.

Yea, right, like I could ever post pictures without commentary...

The day started with J fishing my chair out of the lake. The wind must have blown it into the water overnight. And yes, he is *standing* in a paddle boat WITHOUT a life jacket...

Our nephew took baby E out with her mom (his sister) for a ride...

 

You can't tell here but I ran outside to take this photo and tripped over the chaise lounge, fell and bruised my left arm and left leg and just for giggles, hit my head on the chair. Yes, I have a lump and a red mark on my forehead, thanks for asking!

There was fishing.

There was dancing.

There was eating.  (This photo was taken when prepping for the party. Forgot to take a photo of the delicious food!)

J is making a rocking horse for our nephew's soon-to-be baby...  I'll post a photo when it's done. It's gorgeous!

I treated myself to this pair of Kate Spade earrings. I fell in love with them when I saw them online.

Well, break time is over. I'm off to clean my kitchen before we go to our daughter's home for a visit.  More later!
