I know I need to blog more. I forget to write down the little things. I feel I can only blog when something happens. So here are some things I’ve missed in the last month…
Swine flu at my house, pretty sure everyone had it- Lilli was actually tested for it (positive of course) ( My anxiety and panic attacks cropped up again as a result of worrying about all this but that is another story!)
Emma made the HIGH honor roll at school! (She was excited!)
We got to meet Mark Walton (A Disney Animator and the voice of Rhino in the movie bolt!) He is a friend of a friend and came to Lars class to talk to his 3D animation class about…animation ;~) Oscar was so excited the night before we met him that he could hardly sleep. lol
I had a Jewelry party at my house, even though I really don’t wear jewelry (my dear friends were mercilessly making fun of me for this!) But to help an old friend I will do many things.
Thought about, and then discarded, the idea of taking a vacation to Cali for Thanksgiving and ditching out on the big family thing. BUT since ALL my siblings will actually be in town for Thanksgiving we decided to stay here in the cold.
Having the desire to move again (It is just a part of who I am, I long for a new adventure every couple years!) I’d love to move somewhere totally new. One of my favorite things to do it go online to www.findyourspot.com and look at different places to live in the US. Check it out, it is a fun website. Beyond the US we would love to live in Denmark for a few years to give the kids that experience, get to their roots, get to know family that is there, and learn the language. It is a dream, but hopefully we’ll at least get to visit someday. (If we quit spending all the money we don’t have on Disneyland/world! haha)
I’ve gone on several fun GNO’s with my gal pals! Love those ladies! Looking forward to another girls night away sometime in the future! (A couple of days away from the family, giving the daddies quality bonding time with the kids!!!, and doing nothing but shopping, talking, and eating with some of my best friends!) Until then a night at the movies, or bakery, is awesome too!
We sold 2 of our cars and got a new, to us, Chevy Tahoe! LOVE IT! And it will pull the tent trailer so much better than our Trooper did!
I have been enjoying the cool fall weather, crunchy leaves on the ground, and plenty of hot chocolate! I also have enjoyed baking pumpkin treats galore as well as gingersnaps to go with the hot chocolate! LOVE FALL!
Lars and I celebrated our 13th anniversary!! Sounds so long, but has gone by so fast!
I said I would blog about my love of fall sometime but I think I’ll need a whole post just for that! :-D
So those are the little things that have been happening in our lives! Lots of adventures, lots of drama, lots of fun!

Lucky 13
Well, we did it! Lars and I have survived 13 years together! Whew...what a trek ;-P
Really, they have been wonderful years. We have had 4 amazing kids together, many fun times, and some hard times. BUT we have stuck together through it all, and it really hasn't been that hard to do because Lars is wonderful to me. He loves me, listens to me (mostly ;P), and is my friend and companion through it all.
It is strange to think I have been married for 13 years, it sounds so long, but it has gone so fast. I used to hear about people celebrating their 15th anniversary and thinking "WOW, that is such a long time!" And now here I am a mere 2 years from 15.
It is interesting to think back on it all now, and I have been doing a lot of that since my neice just became engaged to be married. She is almost 19 and I remember being that age, getting ready to marry and being so happy to be where I was. I know I was young, but I don't regret my decision one bit. We have learned together, laughed together, and cried together. (Well I've done most of the crying but Lars has done the important part...the listening and the hugging.) Sappy, yes, but so true and so important.
I remember people telling me I was too young, I had a whole life ahead of me. You know what, I couldn't, and still can't, imagine that life not having Lars in it. We have had many adventures together, including the 4 kids, and I still have a whole life ahead of me, it just happens to include him. :D And I wouldn't have it any other way. He gets, as in understands, me and I can't imagine anything being more important. He lets me ramble, worry, and even rant. He knows me and understands how to help me, how to laugh with me, (and even when to ignore me lol) and he loves me.
I'm sure this doesn't mean a lot to anyone other than me but I had to commemorate the occasion by writing this down. Who says 13 is unlucky? We made it through 13 and I'm sure this 14th year will be just as wonderful, full of adventure, hard times, and fun times. But no matter what the year, and years to come, throw at us I am a lucky girl because I know without a doubt that he will still love me and will be by my side. And he will still get me...and to me that means a lot.
