Anniversary

19 years-wow-that's a long time to be with someone....lol......many others have done it much longer!  It does seem just like yesterday that we were saying "I do".  If I had known back then what we would be today, I would have felt secure that the road would lead us to whereever together.  We didn't know then where we were going or what we were doing, but we have made it....bumbling, stumbling and at times crumbling....to where we are and who we are today.  I look at our four kids, ranging from almost 6 feet down to 4 feet, ranging in looks and personality....and I wonder how it all came to be.

Bob is my soulmate through the good times and the bad....through the ups and the downs....we have made a life together that isn't always perfect, but is satisfying.  Sometimes we are good to each other and sometimes we could be a little better to each other, but I know I can say confidently that Bob has made me a better person than I would have been without him.  Living with him has taught me kindness, patience and loyalty......oh and a lot about collecting baseball cards (and other stuff).

I love you Bob.  My life would not be the same without you!  I am happy to spend another 19 years and more with you......

    I've made some mistakes in my life, have many things I'd like to do over, and have some regrets. But the best thing I ever did and one that I would do over and over and over again is to marry you. Sometimes I wish things were easier but not knowing what's going to happen next is part of the excitment. I look forward to spending another 19 years with you and then another 19 more after that. Then I should be ready to die........very happily though.
    I LOVE YOU!
    -Bob

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
