True Love Waits

From a young age, I always dreamed of the man I would marry. When I was 5 it was my Daddy! When I was 16 I took a series of True Love Waits classes. This is where my ideas for a husband shifted. It was here that I came up with the idea of making a list of what I wanted in a husband. Everytime I met someone, I looked at my list. I never found anyone with EVERYTHING on my list until the summer of 2008! It was then when I pulled the 5 year old list out of my wallet and said "Check, Check, Check!"

Here's the List

Christian and Walks Like It, Encourages Me (With MY Walk & My Goals), Love Me For Who I Am, Loves Children, Loves My Family As His Own, Family Oriented, Hardworking, Compassionate, Honest, Outgoing

And Here's The Catch

Summa Time is HERE!

Brandi (Forrest's cousin) is back in town so we went over to Sherri's for a pool party!

I can't wait for more pool time : )

We love our family and are so thankful for them!

My Meals For The Week

Not that EXTREME!

After watching Extreme Couponing, I decided I HAD to get my butt in gear when it comes to groceries! So that's what I did the next day. I got a binder for organization and tabs and all sorts of doo dads to keep everything together!

Here is my first Extreme Couponing excursion:

I spent $27.75 and SAVED $32.26! The best part is that everything I got is stuff that we will really use! (I'm guilty of buying groceries just because they are on sale and then never using them!) It was a rush!

Our REAL Anniversary

Friday night after I came home from work, I quickly got ready then called Forrest and told him I had a surprise for him! We got in the car with HIM blindfolded. I wanted it to be a surprise and do something for him because it seems like he is always the one doing stuff for me. It's HIS turn : ) Our destination was The Cellar! I think it's quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants! We had a great night and were so happy to spend the evening out together on our actual anniversary!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm linking up with This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I'm loving that I bought 7 shirts & 4 shorts & a necklace & a pair of shoes from NY&C & 2 VS shirts ALL for $93!!!!!

I'm loving that I won this bag in a giveaway over at Lyndsie Gives Away!

Top Two Songs

I’m linking up with The Undomestic Momma for this week’s Top Two Tuesday! These two songs automatically make me think of my husband! Hey, I'm a little sappy! It's my anniversary week : )

Can This Be Real?

I pinch myself this morning because I am living a dream. My life has been completely blissful lately! I have been working minimally so I have lots of time to be the housewife I want to be! I will wake up and get fully ready, do odds and ends around the house and by the time 10 AM rolls around my house is sparkling, laundry is done and Forrest is off to work with a homemade lunch! I spend the rest of the morning tending to my "garden", running errands or piddling on the computer. I think to myself "Is this really my life or a dream?" My sweet hubby work at least 60 hours each week so sometimes I feel guilty for how easy I've got it! I ask him if he wants me to do more and he replies "No, you give me everything I need. All I want is tranquility in the home." How sweet is that? The best part is that he really means it! I have been so blessed with having Forrest as my husband! Here we are married for TWO YEARS today. It feels like just yesterday that I met him at that little old church! I never knew I could love in a way that I do now!

April 4, 2011

We celebrated our anniversary this year by going to Cinebistro at Hyde Park. If you've never been, you HAVE to try it! I had a Cobb salad with flat bread ...

....and Forrest had a steak with dessert!

We loved watching our dinner while being served AND watching Limitless! Can't get much better than that!

I looked forward to going out on Friday night just as much as I did before we were married! (Well maybe a little more because I get to go home with my man afterwards:) I never thought I'd be this gooey eyed after being married for 2 years! What a blessing it is to be MRS. SUMNER!

4 Months and Counting!

*Trying to lose weight is a pain in the bootay. Can I get an AMEN! I have finally gotten down close to my goal weight when all of the sudden BOOM I stop losing weight! My scale has said the same thing for 2 weeks now! 130.5 So close to the 120's that I can feel it but definately can't see it!

*Does anyone have any suggestions for belly fat? Everytime I look at it, I want to lay in bed and eat warm chocolate chip cookies and homemade vanilla icecream!
