Happy Birthday and Anniversary

So March 17th is a big deal in our little family. We get to celebrate our little leprechaun's birthday and also the day we promised for better or worse.

Here are my favorites about the Matheson men:

Mack
1. I love his funny little jokes and sense of humor. It brightens up my life so much!
2. I love seeing how he gets into things from PokeMon to the iDog obsession to the Wii. I get obsessions, and unfortunately have passed along that nasty little habit to him:}
3. I love listening to him play the piano and the guitar. He is getting so good!
4. I love how much harder he is trying at things--he is emerging from his little cocoon of self doubt!
5. I love his testimony of Jesus Christ. He is getting what an amazing gift in his life this is. So proud of him.
6. I love his smile and his sparkly little eyes.
7. I love how insanely blessed he makes me feel. I am so lucky to have him!

Shane
1. I love that he is my best friend in the whole world.
2. I love that he pretty much lets me do whatever I want and doesn't give me too much grief for it.
3. I love how he supports me and the life we have made together.
4. I love that we can hang out and sometimes not talk but that is okay.
5. I love how hard he works for our family.
6. I love what an amazing father he is to Mack.
7. I love that 14 years has gone by so quickly. Can't wait for the rest of our life together:}

I am back--sort of!

I promise I have been alive since the holidays. I have been updating my blog background and banners, but no luck yet on actual text. Not sure why HTML code has been more fascinating than my life, but I guess that is how it goes sometimes :}

I have been slightly (okay, SUPER) obsessed with Facebook. It has kind of been my link to the outside world quick fix, but I have been missing my blog and it's fun too. So, thought I would go out searching for some inspiration to post something, and found it! Thank you Joey for always having something cute, original and unique. You inspire me!!! Here goes:

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done this year. {might be a little while}
4. You will have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or maybe even some creation I haven't even invented yet (but heaven knows it will most likely be totally fabulous and creative... :). I may draw or paint something (no, I really won't do that). I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!* *Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!* *

Happy Daylight Savings Tomorrow:}
