Oh L'Amour!!

Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you.
Oh L'Amour
whats a boy in love supposed to do?

Alright enough with the sing along. Although that is now guaranteed to be in your head for the rest of the day.
You can thank me later.

Anyhow, with the great and terrible day of the Valentine almost upon us, most red blooded "normal" girls get all swoony and require roses and chocolates. I am not one of those girls. It is in my mind just another day created for the sole purpose to sell something. Rockstar and I have never really made a big thing of it. Although he usually does make a passing remark to note the day.

My reason for living and love of my life is going way better than that this year. We are spending the Valentine weekend tearing up carpet and laying laminate flooring. When most girls would scoff and not see this as exciting, I jump up and down in rejoice. What a guy! What a stud!!

Home remodeling!!! A man after my own heart :)

Seeing as the flooring project pretty much taps us out, I am making his Valentine this year. So I know it is a couple days early, but better early than late.

So Happy Valentine's day!

Confession Monday...yes I know it is Wednesday!

Ok yes I know it is Wednesday, but let me remind you just how crazy busy I have been with my Ebay conquests.

Ok that said, I am a little late with this, but I didn't want the week to pas me by and not participate in this. I have been reading this Mommy confession blog .

She is giving out topics and putting it out for us to reply. This Monday's confession topic...

"What is the craziest thing you have ever done for love?"

I don't know if this is so much as crazy, or just a little irresponsible. But I got engaged less than 2 months after I met my husband. Not only did I barely know him, I accepted his marriage proposal over the phone. What can I say, I was 21 and dumb.
Quick synopsis of our courtship. It would have to be quick, because the courtship was quick. We met 2 weeks before he was going off to college in Phoenix. We decided to keep dating even though it was long distance. He was gone for about a month before we realized that that we were miserable without each other. So we were on the phone one night and he says, "why don't you just move down here and we'll get married".

Me- (young....dumb) hey! that sounds like a great idea!! What could go wrong?!!

Well to make a long story short, he ended up moving back, but we were married that following June.

It seems like it should have been a disaster waiting to happen , but 10 years and 3 kids later here we are. Almost all of our married friends have since gotten divorced, but not us. Who knows...maybe ignorance really is bliss :)

It turns out it was the best decision that I have ever made. And Lord knows I have made some dumb ones.
