REFLECTION

Well tomorrow is mine and Ians 10 year wedding anniversary and after 10 years I have learned quite a few things.. Figured I would share...

No matter who you are when you get married and the whole "Your now united as one thing" is a little tricky.. In the beginning not a day went by that I didnt want to strangle my husband! The little simple things he would do would drive me mad and make me wonder why in the WORLD did I get married.... I mean seriously why would he do some of those annoying little things that he KNEW would drive me crazy??? I think he did it as a test... I remember we fought soooo much that everyone expected us not to last a year.. However, we were determined to not have a failed marriage and face it we were just kids.. I was only 17 and he was 19 so we didnt know crap when it came to being out on our own.. I remember how stressed out it was to try and figure out what a personal property tax was... Half was through our marriage we knew we were soul mates.. Since we had got to spend time together as a couple we knew it was time to start a family.. I found that once we had Austin I saw things in my husband that I never saw before. And having our first child made my love for him grow sooo much.. Even though we wanted to pull our hair out when we didnt get any sleep and we would beg one another to get up with him in the middle of the night (me usually loosing and having to do it).. At that point though my love for him turned into a type of love that is never ending.. For him to be such an amazing daddy and take care of our son soooo carefully.. Its amazing.. Well then we had little miss Kenzie.. And once again the love grew even more.. The little things he did and still does that use to drive me so crazy is really nothing anymore. I guess you learn to ignore the petty things and focus on the important things in life.. He works so hard to provide for the family and sometimes gets nothing in return.. He spends his weekends off with the kids while I work, not because he doesnt have a sitter because usually his mother offers to watch them. But because he loves our children so much he cant stand to be without them to long. He treats me like a princess and caters to me even though I can be soooo vicous at times. He tells me how beautiful I am every day even when I KNOW he is lying.. If you ever seen me wake up with my mascara smeared all over my face you would understand exactly what Im talking about.. LOL... He calls me a thousand times a day not to check up on me but just to talk to me because he would rather talk to me than anyone else. Even though I usually rush him off the phone because I HATE talking on the phone. I am the luckiest girl in the entire world to have found someone so caring, loving, determined, and faithful! Sometimes I think I forget how lucky I am.. I thank God every day for my family! I have the most precious gift in the world and even though I stress about the material things in life sometimes NOTHING is better than the love that my family shares. God had given me a gift and I pray that everyone in the world can experience the love I have in my life.. I can honestly and truly say The last 10 years have been the most exciting, amazing and happy years of my life. Thanks to my amazing husband Ian Haynes!!! I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH baby.. Im your #1 fan for the rest of our lives!

Hey everyone

I know Im writing again so soon!! SHOCKER right?? Anyways, hope everyone is doing wonderful! Were all doing great.. Everyone in the family should be getting my letter if you havent already.. Hope you all enjoy it! We have been enjoying the weather here. All except the rain of course.. For some reason my son is obessed with thunderstorms.. He watches the weather channel by choice every night and tells us where there is a thunderstorm brewing. Such a sharp little guy! He cracks me up sometimes with the things he comes up with. McKenzie is just as amusing with her little comments..

Grandma wanted me to let everyone know about what she did the other day at the home. She is such a looney toon its not even funny. Apparently she decided to get up and dance.. Yeah I know, GRANDMA!!! They were playing music and the song "the twist" came on and she got up, and shook it! She had a blast! She even told me that she hasnt had that much fun in years.. Im so happy she is feeling good! She has lost alot of weight and that has helped her to get around and have more energy than she use to! She called me laughing and telling me allll about it! Be sure to call her, she is a hoot to listen to..

We bought a new toy the other day.. IF anyone hasnt played Rockband 2 yet, its AMAZING! Me and Ian play it all the time now.. Im the singer and he plays guitar! Were on tour right now.. Its alot of fun and I LOVE to sing!!

Well I cent think of anything else to write about right now... Im a little jealous of April and Amy for getting to spend the week on the beach but other than that... :) J/K... I would seriously love to go sometime though... Well TTYL Love you all

Its been a while

Hey everyone.. I know it has been forever since I posted. I have been enjoying spring/summer.. I love this weather! It makes you want to get out there and enjoy every day! The kids are at an age now where they enjoy the outdoors so we try to take them out and play. Which they cant play here at our house because our yard sucks but we go everywhere else.. Austin went out on the boat with Ian for the first time yesterday.. I didnt get to go cause we didnt have a sitter for Ms Kenzie and I dont trust her being out on the boat yet. She is toooo fearless.. We went to a friends house and took the kids in the pool Austin is still a little leary of the water and too scared to get all the way in but Kebzie would dive off the edge if I let her.. I gorra keep a tight rope on that girl.. The kids are doing great though.. They are getting soooo big and precious.. Kenzie has a little attitude which I Ian has been working looong hours and really seems to be exhausted at times. He has made the decision to go to line haul next year.. It will help us as far as in buying a house which is our #1 goal right now. I will be quitting Hastings next year also so that Ill be home more. Life is good and things are going great.. Grandma seems to be feeling really good latley! Now Ians Grandpa on the other hand isnt so good. They found out he has Prostate cancer and it has moved up into his back. They put him in the same nursing home with Grandma temporarily until this coming wed actually. He is in bad shape so please keep him in your prayers. I was on vacation last week and did my spring cleaning I have bags and bags of kids clothes for a yard sale. Im thing of a fall sale since most of the clothes I found was winter clothes. I hope everyone is doing great and I miss you all... Ill try to write more and not be such a stranger. Love you all

Ang!
