Happy Valentine's Day?

I am fully aware that is has been eons since I last posted. And one would think since it had been so long I would have something profound to say. That someone would be wrong.

Twelve years ago today, Mark proposed. (I know, cheesy.) We had already discussed marriage. I mean, at the old age of 19 and 20 and after dating for a whopping four months, who has not discussed it? So Valentine's Day was just the "official" popping of the question. Funny what you remember......

We went to see Fools Rush In (love me some Salma) and had a late dinner at Macaroni Grill. Mark proposed on the Plaza. It was freezing cold outside.

Twelve years ago....we celebrate our twelve year wedding anniversary in May. Yes, I can do the math. We dated for five months before getting engaged and then were engaged for just over three months before getting married. Making that eight months from start to finish. Is that not normal?

Ah, well. So it goes. I would do it the same way all over again. Even the twelve years since that day. Not changing a thing. Well, except maybe I would get married on the beach in Costa Rica....

Happy Valentine's Day. Thanks Mark for choosing me all those years ago. There is no one else's feet I would rather rub every night as we lounge on the couch....

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...

Shameless Confession

I love to read. I have since I was little. I also have a bad habit of getting completely engrossed in what I am reading. Getting so wrapped up that I can not put the book down until I know what happens. I am still this way. I have no self control when it comes to reading. That is not the shameless part. What is shameless is what I like to read. Chick lit. There I said. I like to read the mindless dribble that is chick lit. Not romance novels. Just your run of the mill chick lit. Over the past couple of weeks I have reignited my love of reading. And I gave into the chick lit. What is it about this genre that does me in? I have found that I enjoy the books that involve being a mom as well. Which makes sense. It is relateable on that level in some way. I can not quite put my finger on the draw. The last three books I have read, I have been able to identify with the main characters in some way. Seeing as to how they were all moms. I also seem to like (this is even more ...
