Anything But Gray

So Mom sent me a couple of boxes from her storage in Florida.
Some of our stuff is still down there and so she sent a couple of boxes of it.
One box was wedding stuff. WOW.
Blast from the past….and so many emotions.
I was looking through RSVP cards and quite a few people have passed away and that made me miss them. A lot.
It made me happy though to see just how many people I am still in touch with and I am still close to.
That made me feel good. It makes me happy that so many people that were there when it all began are still around.
They say it takes a village to raise a child and I agree with that.
I also think that it takes a village to make a marriage work.
It has benefited us so much to have the support system that we have.  We have such wonderful family and friends that truly root for us and are genuinely proud of our marriage.
We are blessed and so thankful for that support, no matter when the support came along. Some of you have been there since day one. Some came years later. Some people don't even realize the good they have done for our marriage.
No matter when, where or how…..we are thankful you were there.

Another blast from the past in the box was a teddy bear that I have had since I was about 15. I took it with me when I moved out at 16 and moved in with my friend, Shellie. Her son Scott was about 2 years old at the time and he used to take my teddy bear and play with it. Sometimes I couldn't find it when Shellie and I got home and went to go to bed.  I would make Shellie get back up out of bed and help me find it. LOL I honestly could not sleep without this stupid teddy bear! When I pulled that out of the box it just made me laugh, remembering Shellie and I hunting around her apartment at 2 or 3 in the morning, in the dark trying to be quiet so we didn't wake up her son. It was a real sight to see the nights we were a little tipsy. Try watching two drunk chicks trying to be quiet and looking for a teddy bear in the dark. Yeah….it was that funny.

Thanks Mummy, for sending the boxes. I know it cost you a small fortune. You're the best!

It's Kacey's birthday today! Happy, Happy Birthday Kacey!! We love you! xoxo
