MIMM #3

I can’t believe it is Monday already!  Time for another Marvelous in My Mondaywith the lovely Katie!

These MIMM posts are really helping me set the tone for my week.  They are helping me to be much for thankful and content rather than dread the start of a new week.  :)  Even though I like my job, I am NEVER ready to go back to work after the weekend is over.

I took the day off from blogging yesterday to just relax and unwind, which was MARVELOUS!  I even took a nap.

Since I didn’t post yesterday, I want to say a very happy Father’s Day to all the daddy’s out there.  A very special Happy Father’s Day to my Daddy!

He is not only a wonderful Daddy, but he is also my friend.  Thank you for leading me, guiding me, believing in me, and loving me….unconditionally.

Thank you for raising Luvy to be a man of God and to love his wife as Christ loved the church.  You are a wonderful example!  Thank you for loving me as one of your own children.

Luvy and I are so blessed to have such marvelous families.

Last night, we kick started our summer bookclubs with our college group!  I had a marvelous time with the girls!  I forgot to take a pic, but I’m sure I will have plenty of opportunities this summer!

This morning, I had a relaxing morning with Luvy before heading to work, which was marvelous.  Last week, we barely saw each other.  We haven’t had breakfast together since vacation!

I also had some other marvelous happenings this weekend… but you will have to wait to hear that news!  ;)

Do you all find these MIMM posts encouraging?

Do you all dread Mondays or do you love the start of a new week?

We Made It!

We are here!

I have missed you guys.  I was only away for a day and I feel so out of the loop!  A million thanks to sweet Ashley for her guest post!

Luvy and I road tripped to TN yesterday.  We got to see Daddy for a little bit last night before heading out this morning.

This morning, we caught a plane from Knoxville to Florida.  

It was a bit cool when we left Tennessee, but we were greeted by the sun and heat in Florida.  Ahhhhh…. I already feel more relaxed.  We had a bit of a drive to our desination, so we stopped right outside of the Orlando airport to eat at Sweet Tomatoes.

Luvy and I had never eaten there before, but it was really good.  I was impressed with the salad bar.

I got a big salad, plus gluten free veggie soup and a sweet potato!

Luvy got all kinds of goodies.  We got our bellies happy then hit the road again!

Once we started getting closer, I started getting excited.

Very excited.  Lol…

I have no shame.  :)  

We are now all checked into our little condo.  I could get used to having this as my scenery everyday.

We also have “friends” that live outside.  I do not like our friends.  If one runs across my foot or worse… cuddles up with me on my chair, I will scream.

These guys are EVERYWHERE!

However, I’ll take it.  After all, this is my view for the next few days!  We are off to my FAVORITE restaurant here.

Has anyone guessed where I am yet???  (Mom- don’t answer that… it isn’t fair!  :) )

Where is your favorite get-away spot?

4 Incredible Years

Happy 4 Year Anniversary, Luvy!!

How can 4 years have gone by already??

It seems like just yesterday we met at McAlister’s Deli on the strip in Knoxville.  

Life has changed so much in 8 years!

These 4 years have been incredible.

We have been each others best friends.

We have travelled.

We have laughed and cried.

I couldn’t imagine spending my life with anyone but you!

You are my rock.  I am so incredibly blessed that God gave me you to spend my life with.  I pray I never forget what a special gift you are to me.

As I said 4 years ago… You’re stuck with me forever!

I love you, and here’s to many more wonderful years and memories.
