FINALLY!!! The school year is officially over for Ashley and Allison. I have no idea who is more exhausted. Them or me! I cannot believe that Allison is going to be a senior in high school next year. This is my last true summer with her and next year will be so busy. I plan to enjoy every minute with her. I have felt very nostalgic lately with regard to my girls. I am so proud of the young ladies they have become but a bit melancholy that they are not little anymore. However, I am ready for our next adventure!
Last week Chris and I hosted a Pampered Chef party. I normally have a PC party in the Spring. They are usually a great success and this one was no different. Lots of fun and good food. Chris was to sweet. He actually placed his own order to help me with getting more "free" product from PC (truthfully, he wanted to make sure that he got the goodies he wanted). I'm most excited to be getting some more fantastic tools for cooking!
This week (May 22 to be exact) Chris and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. It was a great day! I have to pinch myself sometimes in order to realize that the fairy tale is real. I am also volleying for "best wife ever" as Chris' gift from me was a hammock for two. He isn't fully convinced that I didn't buy it for myself! The last couple of evenings have been so relaxing laying with him in "Our Happy Place." We are in complete agreement that our home is our refuge and solitude from the busy pace of life. So what better addition to our home than something we can use together to facilitate tranquility? Chris has already won "best husband ever" by just being himself and being so completely wonderful to me and the girls but he further solidified his position by giving me a shiny pretty for our anniversary. Oh how I do so love my sweet boy!!!
