2 Thoughtful Thursday 8/22/13

Yes, I am back....kind of!  I am 'limping' my computer along for now.  I have discovered the problem and YES, it will require a new one.  I have to say that now that I know what the problem is I'll make sure it doesn't happen again, but for the moment..... this just isn't fun anymore.  I can be typing alone and it just crashes!!!  I've already ordered a new computer, but it will be a couple of days before it is in.  

Because my computer was an UNEXPECTED expense - I wanted to help off-set the cost by having a sale in my Krafty Max ArtFire Studio.  It is 20% off EVERYTHING, but ONLY until 8/25/13, but it is a GREAT sale!  So, if you have anything on your wish list... now is the time!!

 I also told you that I would show off my Aye on her 'first day' of 8th grade... well, here she is!! BEAUTIFUL!!

And then, in the middle of all of this - it was Hubby and I's anniversary!!  YEP, we've been married 14 years - together almost 19 years!  For us there is a little 'surprise' for the weekend, but yesterday I was given flowers from both my hubby and the kids!!  The roses are from the kids and the BIG set is from hubby - I LOVE wild/spring flowers!!!!  

THANK YOU hubby - I have loved you for almost 1/2 of my life already and will love you for the rest of it!!
