F4 & The Day

I haven't done this in a while, but I had to share these.

Last weekend Kat and her mom and I went and looked at some houses. 2 of them were really nice, one... was a dump. But that wasn't what I wanted to share with you. I wanted to share what I SAW in the houses:

This first one is for Rhea. To add to her collection....

And this gorgeous, and yet functional gal. Can you get her on Etsy? (Um... I went and looked and yes indeedy you can)

Now THIS.... well... can you tell what it is? Our Lord & Savior.. in.. shells.

Now this one was from the ickey house - tempting to say if they'll throw in Sea Life Jesus I might just take it....

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

It was pointed out to me that I didn't tell you about my Anniversary day with Mr. B. I got to see him Sunday night for quite a while. We had an incredible talk. I had found this INCREDIBLY sappy book at B&N that day on the bargain table... it's called "To the One Person I Consider to Be My Soul Mate" - Loving messages meant to be shared with a very special person. Now.. normally even I'M not this sappy, but I picked it up because Mr. B is wary of the word Soul Mate - it's just over used. I started thumbing through it and while sappy, each... message... was just SO Mr. B and I. So I got it, and shared some of the messages with him Sunday night.

Here's the one that hit me the most:

A Little Love Story

When I first knew you, the thought of having you in my life was one of the most wonderful things I could imagine.

To have gone from that moment in time to this moment when I'm happier than I ever thought any person could ever be, is all the proof I'll ever need... to know that miracles really do come true.

This is my love story.... about you.

I love you. So much. And so amazingly. Each day is like a new page that I get the privilege of turning over, with a new paragraph for the morning, a sweet entry for the afternoon, and a can't-wait-to-read romance that winds its way to the brightest stars anyone ever wished upon...

Ours is a story of two people, each with a journey in search of a distant horizon. Two souls whose paths were allowed to cross, whose words felt right at home, and whose smiles discovered that walking the way together could lead to a kind of happiness that only comes along once in a lifetime.

We were given a gift that many people search all their lives for and never manage to find. When I found you, I just knew how I wanted to fill the empty pages of my life.

I want to be with you.... and I want this love story to have a very happy ending... by never, ever ending at all.

Yeah... REALLY sappy... left both Mr. B and I in tears. Sunday night with him was just pure perfection.

Monday he and I went to IKEA. He'd never been there and it was fun to share it (and meatballs!) with him. We had lunch together and it was SO nice. Sitting and being together and sharing each other. *sigh*

After we left IKEA we headed to a park and just walked and talked. Each moment I get to spend with him just confirms in my mind that I was meant to be with him... that this is something so special and wonderful. And I remind myself daily that it's a special gift that not everyone is given.

Saying goodbye was torturous. I was doing fine - no tears - then he and I were goofing around and I hurt my thumb... which started the tears and they just did NOT want to stop. UGH!!!!

Now all THAT on top of a wonderful time with Kat - eating Mexican food, shopping, playing Wii, looking at houses... it was a FANTASTIC weekend!!!!!! I really can't wait to move down there and get to hang with Kat more. Maybe even make HER some food :)

So now we must have the questions.

Have you been to IKEA? Do you like meatballs?

Do you have any crocheted girls around your house covering things up?

Do you have any pictures of holy figures made out of interesting objects?

Have you ever made a PB&J sandwich and had the PB resemble a Holy Figure? I had one once resemble Oscar the Grouch but I ate it... no proof.
