  • TBT — one of my favorite photos ever! When the kids were waiting for our van to be brought around (hotel) and there was no bench to sit on...they pretended to be sitting on a bench. ** look again - they are sitting on nothing!** #tbt #funnykidsofmine #humoriseverything #largefamilyfun

  • 💔 Those who know me know that today is my wedding anniversary. And some might think it’s an awful day to have your anniversary because of 9/11. And I used to think that, too, in the first few years after 9/11 happened. I thought, man...our anniversary is going to be a total downer from here on out - because how can you celebrate on such a horrific day in our country’s recent history? Especially when you’re married to a fire fighter! 💕 * But you know what, over the years I’ve developed a different mindset about it. I read stories like this one, the voice message that was sent from a husband to his wife, and it reminds me of what is truly important. It reminds me that someone can be taken away from you in the blink of an eye. And how in that moment of desperation, when you know you probably aren’t going to be coming home ever again, what do we think, what do we say, what is in our hearts? Love. Not the bills, not the messy house, not the ticky-tack little annoyances, not even the bigger faults our spouse may have - but love. 💘 * Because when it comes down to it, that’s all that really matters; To love, to be loved, to show our love to the ones we love. 💞 * So having an anniversary on this day isn’t so awful after all. It reminds me to keep the main thing the main thing. On this day I remember. I appreciate more. I love better. * * ❤️Happy 26th anniversary, Rich! My heart will always belong to you 😘

  • Once upon a time, there was a girl who had just turned 21 and went into a dance club for the very first time with a friend she met while in court reporting school. They didn’t know each other very well, but this friend was almost 22 so of course knew all about 21-and-over dance clubs, so the girl trust her friend to show her a fun time. Dance music was playing, the club was hopping, and guys kept coming up to the two girls to ask them to dance. The just-turned 21 year old kept saying no to every guy who asked her to dance, and her almost 22 year old friend did the same thing ONLY so her friend wouldn’t be standing all alone. Meanwhile, waaaaaay across the club, a group of guys were watching these two girls turn down every guy who asked them to dance. There was one guy who had his eye on the almost 22 year old. “I want to ask her to dance.” he told his friends. They laughed, “Dude, no way. She’s saying no to everyone. She isn’t going to dance with you.” The guy stood up and said, “Well, I’m still going to ask her.” Right about that time, the almost 22 year old was fed up at her friend. “Why are you saying no to everyone?!! I want to dance!” and the new 21 year old said, “Well, all the guys who have asked me aren’t cute.” and her friend said, “So what! Oh my gosh. You know what??? All the cute guys are watching you turn down everyone. You’re making yourself unapproachable! Listen, this is my favorite song, and I’m going to dance with or without you. In fact, I’m going to say yes to the very next person who asks me to dance! I don’t care if it’s the bus boy! I don’t even care if it’s a girl! I’m dancing with the next person who asks me.” and at that exact moment, a guy came up and asked her to dance. It was the guy whose buddies told him not to ask. And she said yes, grabbed his hand and lead him out to the dance floor. And they danced all night long, exchanged numbers, and got married 18 months later and had 10 children together. True story. So I guess what I’m saying here is that you should never be afraid to ask for something that you want in life. If you don’t ask, the answer is already no. So what have you got to lose?
