5 Years

With him, today.

Life is good.  And life is especially good spending it with someone you love, and someone who without a doubt, loves you back.  I couldn’t be more proud today than to say happy anniversary to my husband.  I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already!  We’ve accomplished a lot, had some failures too, but life still gets sweeter each day and each year.  I love our little family and feel extremely blessed.

So what will we be doing on this special day?  Well, we are going out to dinner to our favorite restaurant that we can only go to once a year (it’s like fancy–I’ll have to dress up), and then a movie.  Haven’t done that in ages.  And the little one is spending the night at Grandma’s for the very first time!  She’s never spent the night away so I’m sure I’ll be texting my mom every 10 minutes to make sure she’s ok.  Yes, I’m nervous and yes I’m an over-protective mom.  But maybe after tonight if all goes well, we’ll make this a regular thing.  I’m sure I could get used to it. :)

And in other non-anniversary news, just a reminder today is the last day to submit your projects to Crafting With the Stars. The contest closes tonight at 8:00 p.m. MST.  Then the voting begins and I’d love to get to work with some of you!

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Happy Anniversary! Hope you have a fantastic night out. Don’t stress too much over leaving her with mom (afterall, mom raised you, right?). They will have a grand time I am sure!

    Happy Anniversary!!! Enjoy and don’t text too much – your daughter is in good hands. The key the grandparents need to know is “redirect”! When she starts asking for her mama, “redirect” quickly and swiftly!!! It’s exhausting but works like a charm!

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
