6 Years

It's my anniversary!

6 Years ago, Matt and I stood in Mom and Dad's back yard and said "I DO!"  It seems like just yesterday.  I remember waking up at 5 am to a thunderstorm, going and getting in bed with Kate and crying that everything was ruined because it was raining.  She (very sympathetically) said something like "it will be fine...why are you waking me up?  Go back to sleep!"  (at least that's how I remember it!) 

It was one of the greatest days of my life!  Mom and Dad did an amazing job making the house and yard perfect for our outdoor wedding and reception.

Some of my favorite memories (not necassarily all good!)
the morning thunderstorm
Matt's Harley breaking down on the highway on his last bachelor's ride...a few hours before the ceremony!
Debbie returning Tara's bridesmaid shoes so she didn't have any to wear
Debbie driving to St. Louis to buy new shoes
Mom freaking out more than me about the rain
Me having a nervous breakdown in the basement while mom freaked out upstairs!
Katie talking like a pirate
My dress...I love my dress...just told Stacey I may put it on today!
Dad putting a Shelly and Matt globe he had made on his gas pump light
All our friends coming from all over the country to celebrate with us
Heat
Powder turning to paste...poor boys!
Walking down the aisle with my dad
Getting through my vows without crying (thank you darvoset!!)
Poppers going off after we kissed
Dancing all night long under the stars
Everyone being in their gym shorts and t shirts instead of tuxes
The zipper in my dress ripping out so I had to change... :(
Stacey's mad jump for a bouquet
My first Limo ride
Forgetting our bags
Kevin puking (my greatest wedding memory by far!)

This is so not a complete list...There are so many more memories.  It was all perfect.

I love you Matt!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
