M.O.M.

Do you remember when we used to have special CD's we titled M.O.M.? 

Make Out Mix

Ya, I had a few. 

I once told my mom it stood for Melodies Of Mine.

DUH.

I think I legitimately thought she crawled out of a rock yesterday.

Anyway, if I were to have a Make Out Mix now it would include this song for sure. 

Joy Williams - What Can I Do (But Love You)

Enjoy. 

Happy Birthday Mr. Wonderful

Today is this dudes birthday.

He's 25. 

and possibly, no probably, the cutest 25 year-old i know.

Its pretty awesome that he's all mine.

there's so many things I love about this guy.

to name a few:

1. he makes me smile everyday. even when I don't want to

2. he's got a tender heart. I love that he's not afraid to be vulnerable or emotional

3. he loves to serve. he's in our bishopric and i love to see 

his love and concern for the ward members

4. he's gonna make the best dad. i see how he is with our nieces and 

nephews and it makes me excited to have kids because so stellar with them

5. he works his butt off. i dont think anyone will ever find 

a better employee than him. 

6. he's forgetful. very forgetful. which i'm grateful for because it gives 

him a reason to need/want me around 

7. he's random. some of the things that come out of his mouth....wow

8. he's still a kid. i don't know many 25 year olds that would rather 

be out playing hide and seek with the kids than sitting watching 

football or chatting with the adults. 

9. he's handy. he works at hooker appliance (he's the #1 hooker) and 

he can fix just about any appliance/machine. 

i think i'll keep him around just for that :)

10. he's a gentleman. his mission pres told him that a woman should 

never touch a door handle and i haven't had to touch very many

he's the best and i'm the luckiest.

we have a pretty cool life together. 

 

Lately

Its evident that I am one heck of an awful blogger. Actually I am awful at almost all social media things, except for Pinterest-I'm pretty good at keeping up with that-but facebook, blog, twitter, instagram, etc. I pretty much stink at. I always say I am going to do it and be better but that never happens, just like all my goals usually go. {oops.} 

I've heard lots lately to live in the moment youre in right now, not wish for the future or put off things till the future...but seriously, I think I will be better when I have children or when someday Spence and I get exciting. {Actually last night did get exciting...Spence made Mac n' Cheese for dinner while I was showering and we take our first bites and almost puke right in our bowls because he used rancid butter...oops. We got a good laugh in, then went to Burger King.}

But really nothing exciting happens very often and until it does consider me exempt from keeping you all informed about our daily happenings. Sorry. 

I guess lovers day (valentines) was kinda exciting, and not in a kinky way :). I highly underestimate my sweet husband. 2 weeks prior to v-day I kinda nagged (like my mother sometimes does) the kid about us doing something special and that he has to plan it because I usually do and I did not want to be disappointed if I didn't plan anything and neither did he. Little did miss know-it-all know that he already had made reservations and ordered flowers. Brownie points to him. So I took care of breakfast- making him a delicious breakfast in bed and gave him a cute little v-day outfit to wear to school that day. As he's walking out the door to go to school he says don't eat lunch today because we're having a big dinner. And so all day I am hoping for sushi. When he gets home later that day he has flowers for me - white roses to be exact, probably from President Snow's garden (right all you Hunger Gamers?). And then we head to dinner. He tricks me by driving the same way you would to get sushi and then passes that right up, i was secretly devastated because I had psyched myself up for it all day. We ended up at the Coppermill...it was delightful - all you could eat prime rib, coconut shrimp, and chocolate fountain goodyness. Then we went to a movie and then had a friendly game of bowling (which I won....sucka). 

(we didn't even get a photo together...i'm so upset)

All I can say is I just gotta trust the kid because he always pulls it out and well exceeds my expectations. I am truly so blessed to have him in my life. He is such a goof but he's my goof and I just love the heck out of him.
