Father's Day 2012

It's probably one of the greatest feelings in the world. Watching the man who sent me a love note in 7th grade, asking me to the movies with a check YES or NO box at the bottom, the man who was my high school sweet heart, the man who was, is and will always be my BEST FRIEND in the entire world, the man who surprised me with a proposal of marriage on the lake with some of our dearest friends, the man who has sacraficed anything and everything for our family, the man who vowed to love, honor and cherish me through the good times and the bad, the man who gave me such a wonderful, carefree, angelic, handsome baby boy, be the BEST father to our son! He celebrated his 3rd Father's Day this Sunday! I am so thankful that our boy has a positive, God fearing, loveable daddy to look up to. I couldn't have asked for a better father for Hudson.



And a special Father's Day to my father! He's such a nut but I love him all the same. He just returned from a trip to Hawaii, talk about a Father's Day present ;)

Not the norm..

Usually my posts are about what's going on in our crazy busy life and our rambunctious 2 1/2 year old. Not today! I just wanted to do a little post about the book 50 Shades of Grey. It's a trilogy and considered "mommy porn." <--- I hate that word. Anywho, practically everyone in my girlfriend circle was reading it. I'm usually the LAST to join in on anything. I had mixed feelings about it and for some reason I thought it had a completely different story line behind it. I knew it was raunchy but I thought the woman character was married and started a "fling" with some guy in her office. I'm not much on the whole, "cheating" while married thing ya know :) So it didn't interest me in the slightest. EVERY single time the girls and I got together, the book is ALL they talked about. I finally did some research and found out, my initial thought on the book was completely WRONG. It's about a college student who interviews a very attractive, wealthy, business man for her college newspaper. So I did it. I bought the book, not the trilogy and now looking back, I should have bout all 3 ;) I started the book last Friday morning. Five pages in, I COULDN'T put it down. And that was before all the raunchy stuff happened. Needless to say, I finished all 3 books within 6 days. My friend Laural finished in 5. BAM! It actually is a really great story. Let me warn you though, it will make you giggle, blush, and you will be asking yourself, "DID I REALLY JUST READ THAT?" These books are out of my norm, I usually stick with the inspirational, uplifting, books BUT this was a great "outside of the box" type of book, WAY OUTSIDE THE BOX. If you have some time, read it!

Laters Baby!
