So yummy!!

reaching the finish line

Writing thank you notes has been my big project lately. There were only 52 notes to write, but yes, it's taken THIS long.

I had them ALL written in like three weeks, but getting T to write his part has been the big problem. He finally finished writing his last one tonight. Yay!

All this time did give me the chance to make some cute mailing labels though. So that's a plus!

Did any of ya'll have troubles getting your hubby to write thank yous?

spring love

happy weekend!!

emily is out, emma is in...

After 12 years standing at number 1, Emily finally drops the ranks to number 14.

It's so funny how the trends change, because neither Jessica or Jennifer make the list...and boy were those popular names when I was growing up.

Notice: Logan is 9th as a boys name, yet it doesn't even make the top 100 as a girls name. That's probably why I get mail addressed to Mr. Logan all the time. and why some people assume I'm the boy. It makes for some funny times.

Where does your name fall??

giving thanks

I'm going to try and start a new series called giving thanks. The series will include things I'm particularly thankful for or things that just made me smile/happy on that given day.
1. The vase of tulips awaiting for me when I got home.
2. and the fact that I have a loving husband who gets a huge joy out of celebrating monthly anniversaries.
3. My best friend, and M.O.H., got engaged!
4. Knowing that I can go to work everyday and have a good few laughs with my co-workers.
