Today is the last day to enter for my Blogiversary Giveaway, the draw will take place tomorrow morning!
Today, I am going out on a limb. I am not one to usually use my blog to further businesses that I have, but I really, really want to go to California this September. You see Hubby has a conference in Anaheim. Three years ago it was in San Diego and J and I tagged along. We had a fabulous trip, met up with some fantastic online friends and would love to do it all again and maybe sneak in a trip to Disney while we are at it.
Staying at home with the kids means that I usually don’t get to join him on fun work trips, but this one means a lot to me and I would like to be able to pay for myself, J and Apple to go. Of course, it so happens that the trip is two weeks after Apple’s second birthday, so we would have to pay for her as well. I am not asking for donations but, I am going to offer a 25% discount on any of my Photography packages until the end of the Summer (August 31, 2009), just click on the “California or Bust” photo in my sidebar and it will take you directly through to my photography site. You can use the contact page to book a session with me, just be sure to mention that you are one of my blog readers when you contact me in order to get the discount.
If you are not up for getting portraits taken I do have my Etsy shop stocked and will be adding new items in the next few weeks. Or if neither of those suits you and your kids will be heading back to school in the Fall, I am an Agent for Stuck on You Labels (I have a button for that on my sidebar as well).
I will take any help that I can to make it to California, there are a couple of Ladies, I would like to meet and I have been hoping to go for sometime, but just got word that Hubby will definitely be going with his new job.
We made it down to Major’s Hill Park for the last day of the Tulip Festival. The morning sun tricked us into thinking it was warmer than it was. Apple was dressed appropriately however, Hubby, J and I had bare legs and boy was it cold.
J is now too big for some of his favourite rides and too nervous to go on some of the bigger rides. So he stuck with the Carousel and we hope to encourage him onto the bigger rides as the summer goes on.
Next up was the Candy Floss or Cotton Candy. J has been asking to try it for a few weeks now. He saw it on a show and wondered why I never bought him any. I had to remind him that I buy him some every year at the beach, but he never liked it before, so I would unfortunately have to eat it, all. Hubby and I had a Beavertail (my third for the year!) and shared with Apple.
Despite the cool temperatures we had fun and remembered why we like to go out for a morning on the weekends doing something other than errands.
and it hardly feels like two. However, it really was ten years ago that Hubby and I got married. By this time we were just finishing up supper, Prime Rib, and starting our rounds of dancing and talking to everyone. I barely remember the night, but it was fun and we got married, that is all that matters.
Two years ago I posted these photos, so I thought I would pull them out again because, well they are the only ones on my computer.
The first one is the favorite of all our wedding shots. We were married at a golf course, not ten minutes away from our house now. It was a hot day, almost 30C (86F) and windy.
And here we are on our Honeymoon in Cancun. And the worst part about this photo? I am trying to hide my ‘fat’ body behind Hubby’s arm. Isn’t that hilarious? Considering I am a at least 15lbs lighter and far more physically fit in this photo than I am now. Hubby is a little heavier now too, but he is one of those guys were you don’t really notice, makes me mad sometimes.
Just look at that blue ocean, man I miss Mexico. But, after all this flu stuff, I don’t see myself going there anytime soon.
Happy Anniversary Hubby, it’s been a great ten years. Here’s to the next ten and may we have our young bodies back by then ;).
