Just Mowin' the Lawn
Do you ever do things without thinking about it because you are thinking about something else? Well, I do. Like driving home while on the cell phone and then can't remember stopping at the light at the busiest intersection in town? Crazy! I know! Or maybe scary!?!?
Well, the other day I was mowin' the lawn and when I say mowin' the lawn I mean 5 acres mowin the lawn. So, you could say it takes a little while to mow. I started thinking about the last ten years of my life. A decade no less. WHOA! Time has flown by!
I realized that in those ten years I have done a few things: moved 4 times, had three jobs, bought about 8 different vehicles, bought 4 horses, got my bachelors degree, started my own photography business, OH and married the best man ever. Without him and the encouragement he gives me always I would'nt have accomplished many of these things!
I started thinking: If they made a movie about us it really would'nt be very exciting. No severe marital problems, no major illnesses, no deaths in the family, just happy where we are and enjoying life. I thought, they really don't make many movies like that. Where people do get married, stay in love, support each other through thick and thin and never give in!
I think it sounds like a wonderful movie.
Maybe because I am starring in it.:)

What your life lacks in dramatic tension, it more than makes up for in comic relief!
Glad to see you up and blogging again!

Thanks Bets! I would say the comic relief is a key part of our good marriage!
