The little things

Well friends, it seems that a lot has gone on since the time I last wrote.  I have recently made career changes in the past two weeks.  School is ever consuming my free time.  Brett is still working non-stop.  We have so many things in our lives that demand our attention and time, and it's hard to find a balance in it all.  I get scared that these crazy times are gonna overtake the important things in life, such as love for our friends and family, or gratitude for what we have.  Thankfully, I have a husband who never lets me forget! 

The other day, Brett came home completely tired and worn out.  I didn't want to bother him, but I was CRAVING krispy kreme donuts!! I slyly mentioned my intentions of wanting to go, and he happily took a quick shower, got dressed, and took me to krispy kreme at 10:00.  Now that's a great husband!!




What horrible picture...but I had to put it up!!  Brett was pouting because I got a creme filled cinnamon donut, and he wanted it!!  He was being a baby, and wouldn't get the same thing I got, so instead...he just pouted!!  Typical male!!
I said all this to point out, that this night meant a lot to me.  It wasn't anything special, but I was so grateful that we took time to get out of the house, even if it were just a ride down the road, and enjoy our time with each other. 



About two weeks ago, we went over to Mama Sue's house (Brett's mom) to eat dinner.  I was inside watching tv, and when I came back outside to see what Brett and his brother Jeff were up to, this is what I found:

This is their target setup!!
Brett is so ready for hunting season, he can't stand it!!  I nearly died laughing when I saw this!!  This is one of the many reasons why I love my husband.  He surely keeps life interesting!  The other night, I had a bad dream about Brett, and when I woke up and told him about my dream, his response was "Baby, you can't have a nightmare about me, I'm a dream come true"!!  Seriously, where does he come up with this stuff! All I know is that I am so blessed.  Blessed and happy!  God is so faithful to us:)  I'm looking forward to what the future holds for me and my family!!  Promise, I will keep you posted!!

XOXO
