Huge Bouquet o' Flowers

These are the flowers that my sweetie had delivered to me at school yesterday!!! It is absolutely huge and beautiful!!!!

My Awesome Sweetie

Many may not know that tomorrow is my birthday! I really wasn't too excited about this year, but my awesome sweetie has gone above and beyond to help me celebrate another year of life.
First, he had me order a Shiatsu Massager for myself, from him! So, I did that a couple of weeks ago and have been thoroughly enjoying it! You see, he's so wonderful that he normally massages me whenever I'm feeling stressed. He always usually massages my feet with lotion almost nightly when he's home.
Then, on Monday, I checked the mail and lo and behold a box! This box contained a set of silver hoop earrings with diamonds on each edge.
This morning before work I checked the mail again and had another box!! This time I received a pair of diamond and amethyst earrings. That's my birthstone!
Now...words can't express how special I feel knowing that my wonderful husband is half way around the world and can remember to do all of this for one day of my life! He makes my new year exciting.
I know my Eternal choice was the best choice I've ever made in my life. Because of that choice I have my children and so many more blessings that one could not even begin to count!

Missing my One and Only!!

Well, with Valentine's day just passing and my birthday coming up....thinking of all the fun things that Mr. Nutmeg usually does for me and with me....really makes me miss him a LOT!!

I miss you, Sweetie!!  Here are some pictures I took before he left....I knew these would be the things that I missed....plus some!!

When he's home, ALL the Army stuff (oh, there's so much) is everywhere!  But when he's gone and there isn't much Army stuff around...I really miss it!!
The top of this dresser has been cleaned off since right after he left.  It will remain cleared until he gets home!!
I couldn't get this rotate for some reason, but he always takes his clothes and leaves them.  When he's home, it annoys me!  When he's gone....oh, how I wish his clothes were on the bed!
The infamous leaving of the shoes!!!  Just where ever he is standing when he feels like taking them off...that's where they'll stay!!!  I miss stubbing my toe on his big shoes!!
SSG Nutmeg hung this beautiful towel rack in my bathroom and for some reason his WET towel would somehow still end up on my side of the bed!!  We actually usually always laughed about this....I miss him!!!
 

Annoying 1 Bright Light

This morning on the way to work, a car was behind me that had a missing headlight!  The main problem was that they were driving with their BRIGHT lights on.  SO, one side was on the bright beams and the other side was on regular beams.  I don't know why it annoyed me so badly this morning.  I guess I was thinking that you can buy a headlight pretty cheap and if you get it at AutoZone, the nice salesman might even put it in for you!!!!!  So, I had to drive blinded all the way to work this morning!  Anyway, hopefully none of you will EVER do that to fellow driver.

Just me and the kids!

With SSG Nutmeg being gone, it was just us for Valentine's Day! I guess I sat around the house a little down all day, then it was time for the plans I had actually made! About a month ago, my teacher friend, AW, had suggested going to Chuck E Cheese's. Our thought was that with most people going out on dates and such that CEC's would be a little empty! SO, we invited some other friends whose husbands had to work or are deployed....and boy did the plan backfire! CEC's was busier than ever. We had to wait at the door to be seated like a REAL restaurant! Luckily we all got to sit together in side by side booths and we ate in shifts with the kids. Anyway, here are a few pics of our good time.


I had this one taken as proof that i was there also!!
Even though the girls look washed out, I still like this picture!  Little Paprika looks pretty sweet in this one.  I'm sure that Sage and Rosemary wouldn't call her that very often.
An action shot!
The motorized Chuck E was good enough for Paprika's picture.  She just wanted to stand on the stage with him.
Rosemary with her friend, AW!  They were inseparable that night!

Pinewood Derby '09

We had a lot of fun last night at the Pinewood Derby! Sage's truck won 2nd place! Can you believe 2nd place 3 years in a row???
