Ah! The school bus has officially brought my children home and my house begins to fill with the sounds of demands, questions, "Guess what so-and-so did today!?", rustling hands through cabinets and my hair.. frazzling. 

 

The Joys of being a Mama! I would not trade it for the world.  

 

My Three year anniversary is upon us today. My husband and I did a small family handfasting ceremony on this day three years ago because we could not set a wedding date.  Those of you who have had to go through immigration will understand fully. When you do things the RIGHT way, it cost a LOT and it takes a LOT of time!. You do not know when you will receive your loved one back as they sit across the seas and you are both bum rushing the mailman when he or she arrives, in hopes that the next USCIS envelope has arrived. It is long, grueling and, so worth it. I don't know where I would be right now without him. As crazy as he drives me sometimes, (They are men.. that's their jobs.), I am so lucky to have him. 

 

We chose our wedding date for two reasons. 1) We had to be married before a 90 day fiance' visa expired. 2) October 15th was the anniversary of us meeting in person at the airport, looking each other in the eyes, and knowing that that was who was meant for me. 

That first time he came here for three months, and he dropped to his knee, on Thanksgiving, with my family all around us, and for once in my life a person proposed to me the correct way. Not in a letter, not in a demand, not anything but the right way. 

So, Happy Anniversary to my Love, My Heart, My Soul. Many years to come!

 

Now, back to the noise. What was all the excitement? What was I signing!? CAN the Turtle feel that? (Yes he can!) And Yellow? 

 

From back to front. Yellow.. my 1 year old son's favorite color. He reminds us ALL DAY! In this cute high pitched overjoyed yell, his plump pink cheeks gaining dimples as he acknowledges that you are excited about YELLOW! too!  

Can the Turtle feel my daughter tap, tap, tapping on his shell? Well he's flinching is he not!? For crying out loud put the turtle down!

Yes I tied the shoe. 

And, last but certainly NOT the least, a second teenager in my household is now being inducted into the National Honor Society (NHS). My oldest son, (The college boy) was inducted into NTHS (National Technical Honor Society), and now my oldest Band Nerd daughter, is being inducted into NHS! I'm proud! 

That was the excitement! 

 

And it is exciting. Good Job kids, you me proud!

 

Onto work. I'll be taking another Rep into my AVON team! I WILL become a Unit Leader! I will I will!  My fanpage is holding a contest right now! You should check it out! (Look for the Breast cancer heart ornament.) Shimmy Hips AVON and While I am on the subject of AVON! I am wearing their Perfume "Passion." right now. (I'm not a full on Hippy Homesteader, my property is a Homestead.. and I say that with respect for the Hippy Homesteaders, I still love ya!) Anyhow, the "Passion" perfume is a mixture of Madagascar Vanilla, Jasmine, and starfruit. I'm really picky about my perfumes and usually will stick to the same scent for years. (JLo was my last long term addiction.. first bottle given to me by my ex mother in law in 2005, still wearing it occasionally, before that .. it was Chloe Narcisse. .. mmmm. )  Anyhow, it is not released YET (Reps who went to the holiday meeting got a tester to use) , but will be released soon. IF you have a Rep, by all means ask her about the special Gift set that we will be selling for $36.00 and comes with free body lotion. Don't have a rep? HAVE ME! Shimmy Hips AVON Online Catalog

 

I worked on our Talent For Charity event some today, things are kind of at a stand still for a few days because I have to get some flyers going around, but I did get two more people pledged to sponsor by purchasing a Vendor spot. Awesome! 

 

Am I Crocheting today? YOU BET I have been! I'm working on a Snood for my sister. My Sister is kind of Snoody... (Slaps knee and laughs) If I can get good at this, I'll make a ton of them this winter for selling at the Renaissance Festival when we perform!  I am going to put them on a wooden rack with a sign that says. "You need to get a little Snoody." on it. Oh man, i kill me.
