Yeah, I know, my past posts have been pretty somber, and not fun to read. I think we all go through 'down' times, and that was just my way of getting through it.
Not that any of you care, but things around here are getting exciting. BUT....I can't go into it right now as I don't want to jinx it. But lets just say that the DH and I are turnaing over a new leaf. We have opened up with each other way more, accepted things that we weren't sure about, and both of us just decided that we aren't perfect and thats ok. We have spent the last 7 years not communicating very well, and assuming things....we've also just been 'existing' in our marriage. That has all changed. Communication and acceptance are the key, and we are both the better for it. We are more relaxed around each other, more able to be ourselves with no fear of being teased, ridiculed, laughed at, or thought of as anything but perfect. Its like a huge weight being lifted off of not only each of us personally, but suddenly our marriage is somehow more 'free'.
Yeah, some of you are saying WTF?? but I don't care. My priority is my marriage, and the fun times to come. So stay tuned, as I will be leaking information in small bits throughout the near future! :)

Seven Year Anniversary
Can you believe it? We've made it 7 years! LOL...I know, I know, for some of you that is nothing, and I really envy you! We had a great weekend...DH kept me in the dark as to where we were going, but it was a wonderful suprise!
He took me to Lake of the Ozarks! We went on Sat (4 hour drive, ugh) and got there around noon. Spent the rest of the day at the awsome outlet mall. No, I didn't buy a ton of stuff, but it was really fun trying on clothes, wondering around with no time line, and just enjoying the day.
We then went to the resort hotel...WOW!! I tell ya, if you have the money to own a condo on this resort, you would never have to leave the grounds! Gym, pool, golf course, 5 restaurants, gift shops, and other types of recreation. When we went for supper, they took us there on a golf cart, lol...and then picked us up in one! The driver told us "If you want us to drive you around the grounds all night, we'll do it." WOW, lol....must be nice to live like that all the time, lol.
I found a really nice candle, had a great breakfast buffet on Sun morning, got some costume jewelry for my dresses, and a couple of purses. We also found some clothes for our nephew really cheap from Gap, and I found some shirts, as well. Then on the way home, we stopped at a place called "Nostalgia Ville, USA". Now, anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE the movie GREASE. It is one of my all time favorite movies, and stopping at this store got me a Pink Ladies jacket, as well as a shirt with the same writing. Its an awsome store, and it gave me some really great sewing ideas! I tried to convice the DH that for Halloween we could go as Danny and Sandy from the movie...he actually liked the idea!!! woohoo! (gotta get to making that poodle skirt!)
Over all, it was a wonderful time...OH! I almost forgot....On Monday, after my Dr. appointment, I had told the DH that I wanted to go to a corn maze...he picked I think one of the biggest ones in the area! For those of you that have never heard of such a thing, its basically a human maze cut in a corn field. Folks around here take great pride in their mazes, and this was no exception. This particular one covered a 10 acre spot, and when you looked at it from the air, it said "Harvest Memories" and had a tractor pulling a hay rack loaded with pumpkins from a barn with sylos. All of it was connected and you were given a map to help you. The girl told us it would take 45 min to an hour...we did it in 30 min! hehe, we had a blast! Then we got some pepper jelly and a small decatiave sleigh at the gift shop. On the way home we stopped and had supper at our favorite mexican food place, and then stopped at the BIL's to visit. Whew!! The weather was great, and I was glad we got to do so much. Tuesday, when I took the DH back to work, it rained ALL DAY. ugh. I went to the dentist, and ended up on the couch for the rest of the day.
Today is back to the grind....finish processing apples, which will probably take all day, and after that, if I have time I need to process the pork and beef. THAT takes a long time in the pressure cooker...90 minutes!! Not sure I'll have enough jars for that, but if not, I'm not terribly upset, lol.

Sorry, no pics...
You got it, I forgot to take the camera to the cookout on Sat. *sigh* I guess it doesn't really matter, it was cloudy and rainy anyway, and the kids didn't get to play in the water very much. My son and I left at around 3, but the rest of the family stayed until 5 or 6.
Yesterday we just hung out around the house. Did a few little chores, but mainly just rested. We played "DOG-OPOLY" and I totally whooped his butt!! lmao. You gotta love the Monopoly games...when there are only 2 or 3 playing, it can really be a time killer. We played for 2 1/2 hours straight!! Today is catch up day, and I will try to get all my "to do" list finished. It seems to be getting longer the more I think about it. But Wed we are going to town to get things for making pickles, to watch a small concert in the park, and to get his pictures done at WalMart. I figure for $8 its not a bad deal and I don't have to rely on his dad to send me a school pic.
Friday hopefully the DH will be home, but I think we are going straight from picking him up to Dubuque to get our other son. He will stay until Tues. or so. Not to mention this Sat I will be taking my son back. Lots of driving on Fri and Sat...ugh.
