a trick and art

i work with a trickster
here is the proof...

this hideous thing was hiding in my drawer. 

thanks a lot jared.

in other news here is a picture of recently commisioned artwork i finished

like usual i was nervous since commisioned work is much different for me.

luckily it wasn't a big deal once i got going. 

it was so much fun!

my mom taught me that....

...doing homework is just like listening to the greatest lullaby...

she's cute.

poor muzza is such a busy lady.

we have loved living with her these past few weeks.

she is the ultimate roommate.

the mysterious black mark

i felt like a mom today.  a mom that walks into her child attacking that private stash of makeup she owns.

bru had this strange black mark on her face tonight.  i still can't figure out what it is even after a search of the yard and house.  it's not makeup but it just reminded me of one of those scenarios.  she cracks me up.  i couldn't stop laughing at her silly face and showering her with kisses because of her cuteness.   

turtles = love

Once upon a time in the dating days Will got me a big stuffed turtle that looks similar to this one...

except the one he got me was blue and we named him Watson. 

I slept with my arms around Watson for many nights.

The other day we were browsing the gift shop at work and we came across a stuffed turtle with a baby turtle in a pouch on its back. 

Will's reaction when he spotted the little critter was priceless.

I'm still imitating his reaction and we laugh about it. 

After lunch today Will asked me to follow him to his desk because he had something there for me.

He had me close my eyes and I opened them to find this....

 

the cute stuffed turtle with a baby turtle in a pouch on it's back. 

I love little surprises like this and I love that Will understands and appreciates my little kid side.

write it down

meet my journal

it is a lovely book full of lovely stories.

recently i was feeling bad that i had yet to finish writing about our wedding. 

so over the course of the last few days i've been writing all the little details i can think of in hopes to keep that wonderful day fresh in my memory. 

last night i asked my dear husband if he would like to write a little in there about our special day.

i wasn't sure if he would do it but he did and he made my night.

the things he wrote completely melted my heart.

yet another reason for me to love him and be so happy about what happened on

11.7.09

 

we haven't lost our muchness...

but sometimes we lose our minds and do silly things or take silly pictures like this....

we bought carrots to feed
our horse friend and we had some
fun with the carrots on the way

marks the spot

                                                                                 

he loved getting treats and we loved giving them. 

we like to make spontaneous trips to see alice in wonderland in 3D

and drink coke out of glass bottles.

good thing i have a muscle man of a husband!

he was able to pry off the lid with my keys, bending

 the key in the process.

he was my hero in that moment.

i loved finding this frame while we bounced around antique shops today. 

i could have bought tons of things in there but this was an absolute treasure

kind of like he is an absolute treasure to me.

things to smile about

Here are a few things that have made me smile lately:

watching boz guard his dog food dish

taking mini hikes with my sidekick after work

kissing this pretty face daily

sneaking a picture of him when he least expects it

also hearing the stories he told that day on our way home from work

finding mistletoe on our hike

seeing this shot from our wedding 3 different ways and loving

each edit so much i can barely stand it.
