Mommy's Sweetest Moment Ever


It was 19 years ago today that I married my knight in a shiny Bills hat and I have hardly regretted it at all! He usually tells the same joke about our marriage. "We have been married for 19 years ...and 7 of them have been fantastic!".  I let Andy know that the next time he tells that joke to a group of people that don't know us and surely don't get our humor, that my response will be "...yeah, those 7 years you were in prison were my favorite years too!" That ought to hush him up.
   All kidding aside, I don't think we could have found a better match. It's not that we are so alike or so very different but we balance out each other's strengths and weaknesses. For instance when I cry, he comforts me. When he falls off the treadmill on his face, I laugh hysterically and it takes his mind off the extreme pain. So, you get the point. .
  
OK I think I just had my best mommy moment ever today! The boys let me sleep in (ahhh sweet luxury) and when I awoke from my slumber I came down stairs to my first ever flower picked just for me by my baby boy! I really am a mommy now! I made sure to grab the camera and capture the moment before my little yellow dandelion wilted. Quinn was so proud. He had to check on it several times throughout the day. After his nap he checked it again and it was beginning to close up. We had the talk about flowers going night night and he seemed satisfied.

I love my boys...both of them. I am blessed beyond what I deserve!
