Eight years ago you woke up in the morning and decided to go out and buy a diamond ring. You wanted it to be perfect. You chose a band of white gold with 6 channel-set diamonds (one for each year we had been dating) with a diamond soliatire in the middle (a 7th diamond, to represent us marrying in our 7th year of being together.)
Eight years ago you went to my father and asked for his permission to marry me.
Eight years ago you brought me to the spot along the river where we had our first date and surprised me--not with a kayak like you told me on the phone-- but with a question.
Eight years ago I cried tears of joy and answered "yes".
Happy Proposal-versary. I love you.

My New Obsession
I originally posted this awhile back on my teaching blog, Wild About Elementary Music (because what teacher isn't caffiene-driven in some way, shape, or form?), but wanted to share it here with you as well. I love this recipe SO much! Bless you, Ree, bless you!

The above image is that of The Pioneer Woman's Perfect Iced Coffee. Can't ya just taste it?
If you're anything like me, coffee is one of your staple beverages. I love my daily coffee so much it's almost sinful. I even have a seasonal rotation of what (and how) I drink it. For summer, nothing beats iced coffee. But, let's face it: I can't be making trips to Starbucks every single day or there's no way I could afford to buy groceries. Or shoes. Anyway, I found this great post on The Pioneer Woman's blog and it was a game-changer. I lurve, lurve, lurve this recipe for iced coffee. Somedays I add sweetener, somedays I don't; but anyway you drink it, it's fantastic.
Click the link and get brewing--you'll be so glad you did!

Overheard...
Driving around town running errands this morning...
Me: I think you and I should do a Couch to 5K sometime...
Husband: What? Is that a new dessert?
Me: (Laughing hysterically)What?! No! What did you think I said?! This is precisely why we need to do one.
Husband: You mean, like, run?
Me: (Palm to forehead in frustration)
