9 years....WOW!!!!!!!!!

So Brad and I just celebrated our 9yr anniversary last wednesday the 21st and it was so much fun.  We had Brad's cousin Shawn come watch the boys and we went and had dinner in Leavenworth and then went and played mini golf which he beat me at.  We got some good laughs in at mini golf though.  I had a few out of bounds hits that got us laughing so hard I was almost crying. At one point I hit the ball and it flew off the course and into a bush and we couldn't find it so we are looking and laughing and there is this boy whose like maybe 12 and he's looking at us like we are crazy and he points at the ball and says "it's right here" with a tone to his voice like "duh you old fogeys".  It was really fun to say the least.  So after that we went and got ice cream and sat in the downtown park area and ate it while people watching and listening to the music they play over the speakers (it's like a radio or something) and then decided to go down to Blackbird Island (i think that's the name) anyway we had walked around 1/2 the island and was coming back the other side of it and right in the middle of the path was a deer.  It wasn't spooked by us either.  So we stop and try to decide if we should just continue walking toward it or what.  By then it walks off the path into the trees so we continue to cautiously walk toward it's direction on the path.  I stopped to take pics because it really didn't seem to care about us.  Brad was a little worried that it was gonna attack us or something which was totally cracking me up.  Anyway I took a picture of it and then there was a rustling behind it and out comes a teeny tiny baby deer no taller than maybe 2 ft tall.  Runs up to the momma deer and starts suckling.  It was so precious. I tried to get a picture but seeing as all i had was my phone I didn't exactly get a professional photo. 

She is right in the middle...the baby isn't in this picture....at least not that I know of anyway I didn't see where the baby stood up from.

All in all it was a wonderful evening and a great way to spend our anniversary.  It was nice to spend some time just the two of us and laugh and have fun together. And the boys had fun with their "Uncle Joe" aka Shawn.  It amazes me how long 9 years is and how it seems to have flown by and especially when I think about the fact that we have been together 13 1/2 years....almost 1/2 my life I have spent with Brad...WOW.  Well here's to the future and what it holds in store fore us!  TTFN

New direction

So after my last rambling about facebook I decided I needed to change things. I removed some previous posts so that hopefully people don't feel as though I am complaining.  I am going to try to keep this as only upbeat happening and keep my all other thoughts between me, Brad and God.  Maybe that's where they need to stay, sorry for burdening you all with them in the past.  You all have enough in your lives to worry about without having to worry about Brad and I so on to a new start with a better blog. :-)  We will get through all this with God's help and I know I have friends who care about me and I don't need to put my struggles out there in hopes that someone comments just so I am reminded of that.  So no more ( unless I forget and regress. lol) on to better posts and happier things.  When I get time I hope to post pics of our park outings and the sprinkler fun the boys have had.  So look forward to that. TTFN.

Facebook

Ok so most of the time I read peoples facebook status' and they don't really pertain to me but today someone posted about "If I ever complain about something that I made the choice to get myself into I give you permission to shake me senseless." or something like that I don't even remember exactly what it said or who said it but it made me think.  I really hope the people who read my blog don't think that about us.  I know we have made some choices that have turned out to not be so great in the long run.  But we didn't know that at the time we made the decisions obviously.  I just really hope you gals don't feel like i am complaining.  Because I don't want to.  I am looking for encouragement and friendship.  I don't mean for it to sound like complaining if it does. And if it does I am sorry and please comment something like "Hey dumba** your complaining again." :-) or something like that. LOL  I just don't really hang out with anyone or do anything with anyone so my way of getting out of the confines of my depression sometimes is to write it on this blog and whoever reads it and comments is who I get my advice from.  So anyway now that I have left my tidbit i am going to go for now.  Hope you all are having a wonderful day and enjoying this overcast windy day (if your in wenatchee.), it's a nice break from the blazing sun i guess. :-)  Toodaloo!
