Sonoma Coast






We packed up Saturday morning and headed to the coast. We found a hotel, and headed west. We got there in time to buy some taffy and watch the sunset. The bedding was all down and white, 6 pillows. We played card games watched spongebob took exceptional showers ate pizza, then slept. Free continental breakfast was included for us all which was really muffins , croissants, juice , cocoa, oatmeal granola.. you get the idea. We ate at the restaurant from " The Birds". We drove up to about the end of Sonoma county on 1 , I think . We decided to check out each of the beaches on the way back down to Dillon's. The day started warm and not breezy. We headed to Dillon's around noon, we tried to find "the villa" but no luck. We then played in sand dunes and in the waves for a few hours. We would have flown kites but it began to rain hard. We headed back home, exhausted and satisfied. We always feel closer after trips, kids like each other more and we don't have to clean non stop. It was really nice.

9 Years






Today marks our 9th year of marriage. Almost half of a great man's life so far has been spent in dedication to his family. He has never doubted what he shoud do or questioned if his own needs were being met. I hope I am sucessfully meeting them. I promise to do better for the next 9.

Thank you for:

  • Always wanting to be with me.
  • Sharing the church with me
  • wanting a family with me
  • working 15 hour days for 5 years and never complaining
  • wanting me to stay home with our children
  • supporting all my crazy whims
  • loving my nuttiness
  • being so good to our children
  • taking beautiful pictures of everything
  • always saying I'm beautiful even at times when I clearly am not.
  • buying us a home
  • laughing when i do dumb things
I owe you so much. Thank you for the flowers too
