Mother's Day and Grandma Rogers 91st Birthday

This year we spent Mother's Day with my family. It really was a very special week for my family. We all got together for a BBQ (nothing better)! We were able to celebrate the sweet day with my sister and her little family and also her mother in law and their family. The whole day was amazing I am so thankful for such wonderful family and friends! We were also able to celebrate my Grandma Laura Rogers 91st Birthday!! I love listening to all of her stories. I find them very informative and really educational. This woman has been through it all and doesn't have a wrinkle. Jeff and I love her so much and we are so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of her life!

Ladies and Gentleman.........The GRADUATE

MR. SNOW IS DONE!! Congratulations Jeff I am so proud of you and all of your hard work. You continue to amaze me each day! I am looking forward to all the fun things the future has in store for you. I couldn't be more proud!! I LOVE YOU!!

7 YEARS LATER

After 7 years the most perfect High School SWEETHEARTS tied the knot! March 20th was the BEAUTIFUL day!! Their ceremony was so sweet, Bride and Groom looked RAVISHING, and their reception had the most AMAZING views! We are all so excited for them to take the journey together! CONGRATULATIONS Mr. and Mrs. Pannier . . . . We LOVE you!! Jeff and I were able to spend the ENTIRE day with his FRIENDS which was quite the experience. We pretty much spent the whole day LAUGHING and I got to hear all their FUNNY stories. I really wish we saw them MORE often!!

So……………………… This is what happens when I tell Husband he isn’t spontaneous. I think I might say it more often!! I LOVE you ducky!

My Noticings:

Yes I know that is not even a word, but I just wanted to talk about all the little things I have NOTICED these past few weeks.

1. I am getting used to working 11 to 12 hour days and going over an insane amount of minutes on my cell phone. Yeah for Verizon!
2. I can’t handle when husband gets down. I don’t feel like I am strong enough to pick him back up!
3. Short Sales are awful!! But, I think I am becoming an expert at them so just let me know if you need any help. I have found a few favorite banks!
4. By the end of my day I come home to my husband looking like a HAG! I wish I could come home like Mary Poppins! Hair perfectly placed, not like my pony tail with fifty bobby pins. Make-up as fresh as the moment you put it on…weird cause I leave with make up on but when I get home I swear I’m not wearing any! Clothes neatly pressed, not me! I am running around all day, sitting, and spilling things all over myself. Super positive and happy, well I try to be but I have my down days. 
5. I think I have become best friends with the drive through window people at Wendy’s….Sad and sick at the same time!
6. I have officially been off Diet Coke and Dr. Pepper for two months, and I don’t even miss it! These days I’m a water, fruit punch, and lemonade lady.
7. I am in dire need of the sun! My skin is glowing and every blemish on my face is just adding something fabulous to it! I vowed I would never go to a tanning bed, so I have to stick with it! So far so good!
8. I am a really good cook, surprisingly! It’s been two weeks of great meals and my husband has eaten everything! He is super picky and he hasn’t said anything bad yet! I remain silent while watching my husband take the first bite followed by the swallow. He usually smiles and continues eating which means I’m in the clear.
9. Husband and I have become super handy and we love painting our furniture…particularly black. Quite fun!
10. I have taken more cold showers these past few weeks then I have in my entire life, except for when I was in Africa. But, it was so hot outside so I didn’t’ really mind the cold water.
11. Without husband I would be a wreck, he is the ONLY one who can make everything better, thank heavens!
12. I never thought I would be going to my “old make out spot” to look at houses. Funny cause when I used to go there, there were no houses for miles. Crazy how the building industry just boomed!!
13. I have finally learned how to sew! I had my Mom teach me how to use a sewing machine and how to sew by hand. Husband is actually pretty impressed and I must admit I am too!
14. I’ve become super baby hungry!! Just cause I work with this cute girl who has the best baby! She brings cute Ty in with her and I can’t get enough of the little guy spitting up, pooping, and smiling like crazy!!
15. Lastly I am so lucky to be where I am in life and to be enjoying all these little noticings! I pretty much LOVE my life! I think 2009 is going to be a very fun and exciting year for the Snow household.

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE........................

CHOCOLATE COVERED GRAPES!!! These delectable sweet treats were introduced to Jeff and I last Valentine’s Day. WE immediately fell in LOVE!!! I decided that this year wouldn’t be the same without them. Friday morning I made my drive to Cummings only to find a super full parking lot with police patrol. I walked into the chocolate store and standing right before me was a red post saying “Please Take a Number” who would have thought???? Taking a number in a chocolate store…. police patrol….Crazy! Jeff and I both agree that those juicy little buggers smothered in chocolate were well worth the wait! To celebrate LOVE day we decided on a downtown holiday getaway at Little America. It was absolutely PERFECT!! I am so lucky to be so in love!
