Today is my sweethearts birthday, he’s older than me now. (Well, just by three months but I like to rub it in these three months, know what I mean? ) If I could put down in words what this man means to me I’d be a millionaire, as my words would be so poetic that I’d be the next author on Oprah’s book club! He is not only the man that I have loved for the last 25 years, but he’s been my best friend, he’s the guy who surprises me when I think I can’t be surprised anymore, the one who just rolls his eyes when my sister and I get together and revert into fifteen year old girls, and he’s the one that has been the greatest father to the two most beautiful children. Well, not children anymore, young adults now, and they would never have become wonderful adults without the guidance they have received from a loving, strong, supportive dad.

So I just want to say, Happy Birthday to the man who still makes my heart go pitter patter everyday, you rock my world!

Another week of musings in photos….with some words added….

This is how the sky looked on 8-8-08, the clouds were a bit dark, but the sun was breaking through, we knew it was going to be a great day!

My D, getting his hood, very proud moment!!

GOT IT! Woo Hoo!!

I’m not the only one proud of him!

See, what I mean…(this was hilarious, his tassel kept flying in his face! I have many photos of that! ) His parents and mine came to watch D walk across the stage, it meant alot to him to have them there, especially since the ceremony was at 10 in the morning!!

And yes, I couldn’t stop smiling….

Great job honey, we are all proud of you! We celebrated with family at Reata, with great food, drink and lots of laughs…something we always manage to do when we are together.

See what I mean about having a good time? This is my very distinguished uncle…..

The rest of my weekend has been spent getting ready for mine and D’s vacation! We are leaving Tuesday morning for New Mexico, for the Sandia Mountains! We will be staying at a resort, and doing a lot of sightseeing as neither of us has ever been to New Mexico before. I’m so excited and can’t wait to take tons of photos!

I did get a new phone this weekend, a BlackBerry Curve, which I LOVE! I’m now able to Twitter via mobile, get my email, surf the web and I haven’t tried yet but I think I can post on my blog from it. I can access my blog, but haven’t tried posting! It’s like a mini laptop! Perfect for vacation.

I’m halfway through Eclipse, which I have found very hard to put down!! I did pick up Breaking Dawn yesterday so I can just glide right into that one. I’m still amazed at the writing in these books. My inner 17 year old shows itself while I’m reading them….anyone else experience that?
