Celebrating the Mommas!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Today is the day we celebrate all the Mommas! Including me! Hopefully by the time this posts, the boys will have treated me to breakfast in bed (or at least let me sleep in on Sunday).  Jordan said he was going to put a big bow on my Tahoe and call it a day. That's fine, as long as he's got a card to go with it! :)

I have been a mother for 4 1/2 years now. It's the most exhausting, yet rewarding job ever.  These boys are so incredible and they brighten my day, no matter what. The moment I first held Austin in my arms, it was the  most amazing feeling I have ever experienced. And it got even better when Chase came along. Both of the boys are 100% Momma's Boys and I love every minute of it! (Okay, well there are a few times where Chase tries my patience when I'm trying to get ready in the morning and he only wants Mommy to get him ready.) But they give the best hugs and kisses! I cannot imagine my life without those kiddos in it.

And Happy Mother's Day to my mom. Geez, we've had a rough time over the past couple years. But I think things are finally turning around for us and we're going to be able to move forward and continue to build our relationship back to where it should be. But I'm thankful that you raised me right, teaching me to work hard and stand up for whatever I believe in.

And I have to let Jordan give a shout-out to his Momma, too!  He's the man I love and an incredible father to our boys, so she must have done something right! ;)

And finally, to the soon-to-be-momma, my sister! She's been such an incredible aunt to our boys, and I know she's going to be an amazing mom to sweet little Connor!

Friday Surprises!

Last Friday, I had the most AMAZING day! Typical of my usual Fridays, Jordan was off and I was working from home. For some reason we got to talking that morning, and he agreed that we could go 'look' at some Tahoes that afternoon at a dealership. Mind you, I've been talking about that damn Tahoe for months, and I had finally agreed to wait until June. I don't know if I just caught him in a generous mood, but he agreed and I ran with it! But I knew if I went to 'look', I wouldn't want to just walk away and go home in my old ride. Anyways, Jordan had errands to run, so I continued to work. (Well, as best I could, despite my giddiness over possibly getting a new vehicle.)

Jordan came home from getting his haircut and doing whatever else, and brought brisket tacos home for us for lunch. After my little lunch break, we continued to discuss my Tahoe possibilities. I thought I might up my game and do some additional 'persuasion' (wink, wink!). Getting ready to work my magic in the bedroom and then all of a sudden Jordan drops to his knee and whips out a ring box! What the hell?! I'm ready to get frisky on a Friday afternoon and he's pulling a diamond ring out of his pocket. So of course tears start flowing down my cheeks as I check out my early-anniversary bling. Wow, I really have my work cut out for me now, showing appreciation for diamonds and the possibility of a Tahoe. :)

Fast forward a bit later, and I'm tearing apart the house trying to find the title to my CR-V, 'just in case' we find something we like today. I knew I had just seen the title somewhere, but then I couldn't find it, ugh! After a 45 minute search, we located it. I IM'd my staff telling them I was checking out early that day, and headed to the closest Chevrolet dealership. Holy crap, we're really doing this! Three hours later we were signing papers! Eeeeeeek! However, I would have to wait a few days while they located my black on black Chevy Tahoe Texas Edition. Then they would need some additional time to put on some different wheels, install headrest monitors in the back for the boys, and turn my Chevrolet bowties black. Which brings me to today, when I finally got to pick up my sweet ride! Needless to say, I am one happy momma!

I don't know how I'm ever going to be able to top the Friday I had last week! Definitely feeling a little spoiled! :)

Check out my sweeeet ride!!

I'm in love!!!

It was a tight fit and took some rearranging, but we managed to fit them both in! Definitely glad we paid the extra money to extend the garage when we had the house built! Mr. & Mrs. Black.....
