19 Years!

So, here we are....a long time since the last post, but a lot has been going on! I would LOVE to say that we have sold the house, but that's not it. We have just been busy. I have been contemplating getting a job to help supplement income if we have to keep the house. However, have you ever home schooled 3 kids and a toddler?  Finding a job is not easy! Especially, with no degree and being out of the workforce for 11 years! There are many things that I could sell, but it would be to make money and that's it, I can't stand behind a product that I don't like. I want to sell something that my heart is into. Like engraving rocks from special places (which I am going to do), and making jewelry from special sea glass or rocks that we find, and taking photos that people can print to display in their homes. I am so looking forward to it all and getting the kids involved in macrame and sewing. We will have our Etsy store rolling soon. 
 

We had a WONDERFUL anniversary week! Full of fun and moments. To start our week off, we spent a few hours at the dealership with Matt so he could purchase a new car! He is sad that he had to get rid of his sports car, but so thrilled that he gets a brand new car in it's place!

That evening we got a late dinner. But, he got a reliable car in return, so it was worth it!  We are so proud of how far he has come and where he is going.

Now onto our Anniversary day (or couple of days)

19 Years of Marriage! What an accomplishment in our eyes! We have been through a lot, but a lot together. We got to sleep over at my sisters rented condo, the kids had a blast, we had a nice evening and got to sit in the hot tub on the roof top deck and watch the lightning! Share wine with my sister and her boyfriend and got to forget about everything that we needed to forget about (the stupid house). We've had a lot happen in the last year (more than the house)!  We weren't planning on spending the night, but my sister rented a condo that had the TINIEST parking spaces and we had to do some like 15 point turn to get in the guest spot because we can't fit in the parking garage, LOL...and I made the decision that WE WEREN'T MOVING THE TRUCK!!!!! 

Matt and Sam came for dinner, so we stole his car to go get clothes and swimsuits, and I have never seen that smile on Kevin's face since he had his car! We got our stuff and got back for dinner and the sunset! The girls were clothing optional at sunset, LOL...

We had the best anniversary in a couple of years! It was REALLY nice! We spent the entire next morning at the beach complete with a breakfast that my sister cooked. Bacon and Eggs!!!

And then, we spent the rest of the week playing in the pool and went on a double date with our son and his girlfriend while our oldest and his girlfriend watched the girls and Kyle! We went to International Plaza, I still don't care for the place, but we had a nice dinner. Then went bowling afterwards and I lost by 1 point to Sean on the last game, but I was shaking! LOL.....

All in all, we had an awesome week! I am so glad that Kevin got to take off some time and enjoy the little things with us! Best week ever!!!! (So far, LOL)
