Happy Anniversary & Happy Long Weekend!

Happy Friday Friends!!! And more importantly... happy Friday of a long and wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!!

This weekend Jim & I are celebrating our 6 year Anniversary! Crazy... isn't it?! Who would have imagined me… living in America? When I came to visit Tina in the North End of Boston that fateful week back in June of 1996.... Who would have thought that the cute boy with the curly hair, almond eyes, and sweet smile would now be my husband? Wow! Well, lucky for me he is my husband, and 6 wonderful years have flown by!

Since then, we bought our first home, won $40K, went Shopping, had our first daughter, Jim’s sons moved back home to Gloucester, Jim started his own company, I finally found a job closer to home, our best friends moved back home, and the best is only yet to come… right?! Anyway, Happy Anniversary to the love of my life… The reason I am who I am today is because of you. Every day life is hard, but having you by my side…. Well I know we’ll make it through. I’m proud of you, in love with you, and can’t wait to grow old with you… Hmmm…. Okay… maybe we’ll take our time growing old! LET’s just LOVE every day like we did back when we first met…. LET’s appreciate the amazingness of life every single day together! LET’s remind ourselves that we aren’t perfect… but together… we’re pretty close… LET’s be the best parents we can possibly be. LET’s be the best partner we can be… LET’s just be the BEST! Happy Anniversary to you, my best friend, my love… I LOVE LIFE WITH YOU.

A Clear Blue Day!

A week of rain can sure put a damper on your spirit! We had some crazy New England record breaking rainfall for a week straight. No sun just rain. And then out comes the SUN... beautiful brilliant SUN! You almost forget that we were lost in the rain and gloominess for so long, looking at the gorgeous day outside today! I forget about the rain, the gloom, and can only smile...

Of course, I'd love it more if I wasn't stuck at work. Walking in to work this morning, I saw a plane way up in the sky, leaving it's trail behind it, almost cloudlike in the perfect clear blue sky.

I began to wonder... where was that plane going... who was up there... was it headed somewhere tropical? Somewhere far far away from here... oooh I so wanted to be up there, getting away from it all!

Alas, no vacation for me! Reality set in as I dropped Jolie off at daycare, and walked into my office. Another day at work... but another day closer to Friday and the weekend! Hmmmm... I think I'll take my own mini vacation this weekend... no plane... just me, my family and my car... our goal: to have lots of fun! Weekends are meant to have fun fun fun!!!

So, here is to a fun weekend for you too! And to my family and friends back home - PLEASE have a nice cold Canadian beer for me this oh so happy May 2-4 weekend!!!! HAPPY WEEKEND WISHES to you all!

CHEERS!

Happy oh so Happy Friday!

Stop and smell the flowers... yeah right - as if I have time for that! The days sure fly by when you are and are not having fun! I can't seem to slow down and stop long enough to enjoy one thing... before BAM the next thing happens. Life is crazy right now. Crazy good. And Crazy bad at times.

Work is buzy and stressful, but that makes my days fly by. Jim's work is going fantastically well! I am soooooooo proud of him. He just called me as he walked out of a meeting with a brand new and exciting client! He landed their ad campaigns (totally new market that Jim has tapped into wonderfully well), their trade show booths, their promotional products, and all of their design!!! Holy COW & WOW! I am so incredibly proud of Jim. ...So proud, I just called our friends and we are now having a PARTY tonite!

So... wherever you are tonite - Please fill a glass up with something bubbly and TOAST to happiness, to new and exciting things to come, to life, to family, to friends, to everything good... Just toast and smile and love life a little more tonite - because life is good! (well... not always good... but it's Friday, and the weekend is here... so it's good right now!)
