happy 39th birthday to my man

i ask regan what he wanted  for his b-day and he quickly said

  "i want YOU.............and i wanna go to true grit."

 i aim to please so i  gave him myself all wrapped up in a pretty bow

(sorry, no pictures of that)

and

took him to true grit

well, rewind that

true grit first

me in a pretty bow later

anywho..................

we met my sister and her hubby

afton and jess

after regan got off from work

after the show we stopped at 5 guys

then to farr's ice cream

and can i just say that the dole pineapple is DE-VINE

me and lova shared and

i have been craving it ever since.

***************

this next part is just for you honey:

if your wandering ever leads you

to a place you don't know which road to choose

leave your worries behind

take the road that leads to mine

and i'll be waiting there for you.

if your dreaming ever wakes you

and you find your dreaming wasn't true

wipe the sleep from your eyes

leave the nightmares behind

and i'll dream a better dream for you.

if your fortune ever fails you

and you're down without a dime to see you through

there's still luck that you can find

you can have a piece of mine

yeah,, i'll make a wish for you.

all my love

 i give to you

 young love
the other day journey came home  from school singing, dancing and yelling at the top of her lungs "mathew likes me, he likes me, he really, really likes me." "Look, mom and dad he gave me a kitkat and told me that he liked me." to which regan replied. "wow journey, your really excited aren't you?" to which journey replied "well dad wouldn't you be excited if mom liked you?"
