11 YEARS! :)

I am so behind on blogging. I haven't even written about my 11 year anniversary, which was on May 25th. Lamar brought me flowers a few days earlier, which was so sweet, because he said it was a very special week. My birthday is 2 days after our annivesary.

Lamar came home from work with flowers and after that we headed to Kobe. We love Japanese steakhouses!! The fried rice, the salad, the soup, the veggies, and the steak...YUM!!! Oh, and we had the whole table all to ourselves!! It was GREAT!!!

After that, we headed to Maggie Moo's for dessert.  He always gets a malt and I either get red velvet or chocolate better batter with marshmallow cream and caramel mixed in.  DELICIOUS! The really neat thing is that there was a rainbow after we ate...it was a full double rainbow!! Just gorgeous!!! It seems like God is always giving us a gift on our anniversary....last year a gorgeous sunset on one side of the ocean and a beautiful thunderstorm on the other (at Sunset Key)....this year a beautiful double rainbow followed by a glorious sunset that we drove around admiring.  Oh, Lamar pulled out more flowers for me after Maggie Moo's...this time colorful roses. 

When we got home, Lamar gave me even more flowers. :) They were so pretty when I put them all in a vase together. 

I gave Lamar football books and a home plan book.  The funny thing is I gave him the exact home plan book he bought a couple of weeks ago and we looked at it together.  I didn't even notice! I looked through TONS of home books and bought the same one he already had.  He didn't even tell me until a week later when I suggested we go through it.  He said he didn't want to hurt my feelings.  It wouldn't have hurt my feelings at all. I thought it was so funny!!! The card I got him was about farting. I just love him how he likes to be loved which is joking about farts and getting him football books. :) Hard to believe that we've been married 11 years.  I remember thinking there was no way we'd make it through 6 months and now it's been 11 years.  That first year was REALLY hard.  The 7th year was really hard, too.  Those seem to be the hard years for a lot of people for some reason. To be honest, February-May of this year was really hard, too.  That's just marriage, though.  It's hard work and sometimes it's even harder work. Anyway, I am thankful that we've made it 11 years! Lamar has  the sweetest softest heart and I am thankful that I am married to him.  He always goes above and beyond for me.  He's been extra nice lately.  Yesterday, I called him, "Mr. Perfect Husband" because he was every girls dream....did the dishes (didn't ask), cleaned the toilet (the job I hate the most), kept kissing my head (I love that), massaged my shoulder all throughout the day (which has a knot and crick in in), and of course, washed my feet, like he does every night in the tub.  I've pretty much got it made! :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

Happy Easter!!! Ahhhh...I'm just SO SO thankful that Christ ROSE and we are free!!! WOOHOOOO!!! I alway love the Easter service at church at this was no exception. The worship is always my favorite and every year I wish I would have gone to both services. This year our church had the Arkansas Symphony up there with them and the music was just so beautiful! All the songs were such wonderful songs about Christ rising again. And there was a huge wooden cross on the stage that was so beautiful. I, of course, had to take a picture but the picture doesn't quite do it justice. It was just so beautiful.    Brandon preached the sermon and it was so good, too. After the sermon, we sung an old hymn that I love.....Because He Lives. Easter was even more special today because Kevin and Macy were with us. This was their one year dating anniversary and they have now been married 15 days! This weekend was their first time here since they have been married. We got to see them last weekend...
