Covington Suprise of 2009

So my parents came to me last week and told us they have a suprise of a lifetime. One that was bigger then anything else they have sprung on us. But, they couldn't tell us until Monday. So Monday finally came after about a million ideas went through my head trying to figure out what it was they had in store for our family. So we all went to Mi Ranchito for dinner and to have them reveal the "BIGGEST SECRET EVER" to us.

And they did... They have purchased a Carribean Cruise, a stay in Vegas, and a stay in Puerto Vallara Mexico for 3 days as well. They paid for all of us kids and spouses and we just have to float the airfare and childrens tickets. I am so excited to spend this time with my family. To create memories that will never be forgotten. For all of us to be there with our families and to watch how the cousins experience something like this together. Vacations have always been one of the most bonding moments in my mind. I can't wait to go Scuba Diving with all those certified. To experience Walt Disney World with the Glads and all the little ones. And just to simply be with them in a beautiful breathtaking place. Thank you mom and dad for this wonderful gift you have given us. This will be something we will never be able to put a pricetag on.... PRICELESS! I am so excited. I feel like shouting at the top of my lungs "I'M GOING ON A CRUISE WITH MY FAMILY!" because yes I am that excited.

Then my dad got down on his knee and gave my mom her original wedding ring with a real diamond (she lost her diamond in a bat of cheese she made many many years ago.) and a marque diamond on the side like she has always dreampt of. He asked her if she would marry him again. Oh it brought tears to my eyes to see them so in love still after all these years. This will be their 45th anniversary and they still get googly eyed! So stinking cute.

Spring Break

This year we spent spring break at home. With Terry's new job he doesn't have much time off yet. So me and the kids stayed here and played while he went off to work. We did alot of fun things like going to Build-a-bear, Chuckie Cheese, We went to the movies, Maggie Moo's, Legacy Center swimming with cousins, and of course we will never forget the fun snowmen we built over spring break. So you are right the weather was not the best a little to cold and the 8 inches of a snowy suprise we got Thursday morning almost did us in. But like they say we used those lemons and made lemonade... or snowman in this case. I just have to say I love spending time with my kids and it seems lately we have been running around like crazy with all the kids in soccer and then scouts, dance, preschool, baseball, swimming, friends, homework and all the other issues we have going on. So it was nice to have all those things cancelled for a week and just be together wether it was sleeping in or staying up late it was GREAT!
