Feel Like a School Girl Again!

This morning began with a series of unfortunate events that I will choose not to share publicly:)  

Let's just say that I can laugh about it all now!

Anyway, after multiple events...when all I wanted to do was cry...

I started to sing my favorite camp song from Royal Family Kids Camp.

Insert music here...

"It's a good, good, good, good, good, good morning;

 a good, good, good, good, good, good morning;

 a good, good, good, good, good, good morning;

It's gonna be, a very good day!!!

Half way through my song I realized it was a good morning, and a good day!!

Today was our 18th wedding anniversary!!  

which I had forgotten until that moment

So there was only one thing to do...I beautified myself and prepared to surprise my love at work.

(after a bit more drama...I made it there with goodies in hand)

I can tell you I felt like a nervous school girl again!!!  

Butterflies in my stomach, asking my girls if my hair and outfit looked ok, hoping that I was able to successfully make it to hubby's office before he found out I remembered our anniversary.  

My mission was successful!!  He was surprised!!

And I think he liked his chocolate covered strawberries (as well as several coworkers...lol)

Then I learned that he also had a surprise in store for me!!

Later the love of my life took me on a date.
I had yet to go in his jeep with the top and doors off...so there was a promise of going off road:)

Again I felt like a school girl going out to dinner with my hottie and then some adventure!

 Let's just say I didn't die!
We almost got stuck two times.
As we approached a LARGE puddle (with an unknown depth)
I said, "well, lets see if three is a charm".

Not only were we stuck, the jeep was almost on it's side.
(it was dark and we were a few miles in...
my visions of walking out in the dark through rough terrain and critters got the best of me)
I started praying in my head and then as it was obvious we were stuck, I started praying out loud.

God is so very faithful even in the small things!
We got out...and had ourselves a good laugh!!

I will say that the funniest part was walking through Walmart after for a grocery run.  The picture does not do him justice!  Hubby had mud on his face, head, neck, back, and down his legs as well:)

I am so very thankful for the past 18 years that I have had with the love of my life!!

And I cannot wait to see what the next 18 have in store for us!!
