Today was a beautiful day here in Pittsfield. I took the girls to Onota Lake (about 1 mile away) Valerie had fun playing at the playground, and I think Natalie enjoyed the outdoors too. Valerie is really getting to be a "ham." She never took off her sunglasses while we were there, perhaps she just wanted to be like Mama. We had a good time. I am so truely blessed to have Valerie and Natalie in my life. I love them both so much. They rely on me for everything. Brad was still working today. I feel bad that he misses out on things that happen throughout the day. But at the same time, we are so fortunate that he still has a job, and i am lucky enough to be a stay-at-home mama. With this economy you never know what is going to happen.
Speaking of Brad, today is the 5 year anniversary of our first date. Its funny, you never know where your gonna find love. I really think that God had been trying to get us together. We ran into each other many times. He actually bought my old car!!! how strange is that? Actually in January of 2004, I went out with my bro Jimmy, Brad, and Loren. But we didn't really talk much. May 15th 2004, i didn't expect that i'd be meeting my future husband. I was just going out to have a good time with my friend Loren, and Brad asked us if we wanted to go out with him and Scott. We went to karoake, and me and Brad just started talking. It was like there was no one else there. We just clicked. And then we fell in love. 5 years and 2 kids later, I can't imagine my life without him.
It looks like the girls enjoyed themselves at the park! They are at great ages - I'm sure Valerie loved climbing all over everything while Natalie just enjoyed looking at the trees, sky and of course, her big sister!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you and Brad have been together for 5 yrs already...where in the world does the time go?! :)
