Twenty-Four Years!

Posted in Me on August 17, 2008 by annettebudd

Today is our 24th anniversary. We went to the Elephant Bar last night to celebrate. Just us, no kids. It was wonderful!

We have been through a lot together and the one thing I am sure of is that I married the right guy. Gary is incredible. I couldn’t have chosen a better

  • Spiritual leader of our home
  • Father for my children
  • Partner and companion
  • Lover
  • Friend

I definitely love him more today than I did twenty-four years ago. I feel like I am the most blessed woman in the world.

My afternoon

Posted in Me on April 11, 2008 by annettebudd

I just spent the afternoon with a close friend. Because both of our lives are so full, the times we have spent together lately have been filled with running errands. I know that going to the paper store, Sam’s club, the bank and Cartridge World does not sound like a fun girls night out BUT it was.

I treasure the fact that we don’t have to do something fun in order to have fun.

It is important to not let your expectations about what good times should be stop you from having them. Even the things that tend to be monotonous can be full of joy if that is where your focus lies.

First Blog

Posted in Me on April 7, 2008 by annettebudd

Every first blog I read says almost exactly the same thing - “Why would anyone be interested in all of the little things that are happening in my life?” In fact, I think the answer to the question is actually a pretty easy one.  All of the little things that we do, when added up, are a reflection of who we are.

And my life is full of little things.  Little People. Little Conversations. Little Moments. Little Sleep.

I want to do so much more than manage (or even just live through) the little things. I want to savor every little thing that happens in my life. Maybe blogging will be one of the ways that I do that.
