how i know you love me

sometimes it's the littlest things that make me realize how much you really do love me.
  • you gave me my own internet hook-up at your new townhouse because you know how ocd i am about checking my email for work ( i work from home)
  • you think i'm still the most beautiful girl without makeup on and in your sweats
  • you always kiss me goodnight
  • you love my family
  • you gave me my own nightstand! complete with tiny dish to hold my earrings, bobbypins,etc.
  • you let me try new recipes out for you (so far they've all been good!)

just a few things that remind me of how lucky i really am to have found you.

an additional note: i had "The View" on in the background this morning while on my computer and Sarah Jessica Parker was the guest and she said something i've said myself. everyone should date the wrong people and appreciate the heartbreak because it only makes you appreciate and realize when you've found that one person you'd like to spend the better part of your life with. this is so true with scott and i. we met a year before we started dating and i dated a few people during that time and though they were some of the *worst* relationships i've ever been in, it makes me realize that i needed those bad relationships to make me see how wonderful a good man can really be. i continually remind myself how lucky i am to have scott.

what are some of the silly little reasons that make you realize how much someone loves you, or vice versa?

the brewers are back!

baseball season is in full swing again and scott and i celebrated by attending the brewers opening day game last friday and what a game indeed!! here's a cute pic i snapped of us as the game wrapped up. Notice the sweet sausage race hat that scott gave me :)
I also used the remainder of my saturday night to work on the final pages of my mini-book about scott and me. i love how this turned out...and i'm glad i eased myself back into scrapbooking with something small, not nearly as intimidating. here are the final pages to the book-still need to decorate the outside of the album though.....


i've taken up a new project to work on now that it's spring (or possibly an overload of late nights and hgtv)-refinishing an old kitchen table and chairs (4) and bring them back to life in a super cute and fun way! my inspiration comes a la' "FRIENDS"-my favorite show, my brother laughs at me because he knows whenever he visits there will be a dvd of friends playing somewhere in the house. but back to the subject! i plan on sanding the table and staining in a dark brown, and then painting the chairs a color-i'm thinking cranberry and reupholstering the fabrics in a really great dahlia upholstery fabric with great mustards and burnt orange flowers i saw at my local craft store. i'll try to remember to take before pics so you all can be amazed at the finished product lol!
it's raining horribly here today...rain makes me restless...tomorrow is predicted to be sunny...i could use some sunshine to snap me out of my blahs. it's late. must rest. need to save up my energy for table sanding tomorrow :)
