My children, well, kind of

Josh and I don't have any kids yet, so I like to think the ten little divas that I spend most of my time with fill that void for right now. And DIVAS they are. Below are some of the comments I've gotten from them this year...


Kid: Miss Rebecca, have you seen my artwork?

Me: No, I have not see it.

Kid: Well, you should. I'm pretty good.



Kid: Miss Rebecca, I'm going to do this dance one more time, and after that, I'm resting.

Me: (laughing) Well, okay, but you probably won't win a big trophy if you quit.

Kid: Right now, I'm SO over the trophy. (eyes rolling, of course)



Kid 1: I didn't wear my pedinis today (pedinis are a type of dance shoe).

Kid 2: Ewwww. I wore my PANTIES today!


I laugh at them every day. Kids are so honest, and they are so good at telling you EXACTLY how they feel. They don't sugarcoat, they don't talk about me behind my back. and they love me no matter what. I wish adults were more like that. I love my little dancing queens!!

My Husband

Here is my husband, Josh and me. FYI: My mother-in-law made us take this ridiculous, glamour-shots wannabe picture. One day I'll be thankful for the memories made while taking these photos. One day.


Josh and I have known each other our entire lives. Although, I never really remember being friends with Josh until junior high, he says he always had a secret crush on me. He claims he knew he was going to mary me when we were in 6th grade, and he saw me at a baseball game. He even remembers that I was wearing white shorts and a purple shirt. I was always the shy, quiet goody good girl, and he was simply put, a Ladies Man. Josh and I really did and still do have the fairytale story that so many people dream about having. I still get butterflies when I'm around him, and I miss him (most of the time) when we aren't together. He lets me be a brat which means I usually get my way. He supports me and loves me even when I don't deserve it. He is my best friend. I'm a good wife too. Just ask him.

So, I say all that to say this... Josh has decided to go back to school. It is my turn to support him. I am SO proud of him. He said his goal is to wear a business suit and work downtown Montgomery. He wants to go to dinner meetings at the Renaissance and get free tickets to the Biscuits games. He has such detailed goals! I asked him what he wanted to major in... He said, well, I was thinking Accounting. Knowing how much hell I went through to get my degree, I smiled and said, "go on with your bad self."

Honestly, we may not be friends until he finishes school.
