Birthday at Sea

I wrote a poem for my man for his birthday today and wanted to share it with you.  It is titled "Birthday at Sea".

....achem...

Birthday at Sea

Your first birthday at sea,
Let's both agree
Has the potential to be topsy-turvey.
You love being underway,
but I just have to say,
It is possible you come home with scurvy.
~~~
All the adventures you've had, I know you are glad
For the stories are all from the Lord;
He loves you so much, all the surfing and such,
Above and beyond the wildest reward.
~~~
No candles, nothing to bake, and likely no cake,
Just a look at the moon in the sky
But it's okay, "Almost Home" I say,
And that's more than money can buy.
~~~
Nick I love you, it is time, it is true
To celebrate your twenty-ninth year,
Coming home from afar, my sailor you are,
I'll be waiting for you on the pier!
~~~
I send you more speed, or whatever you need,
Praying sea conditions don't worsen;
All I can say - I can't wait for the day,
When I yell "Happy Birthday!" in person!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you enjoyed. Now my next thought....HOW AM I GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT?

Christmas in July

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

The Best Things In Life Are For Free

Image
Well not completely free, actually this chair was $2.00 at a garage sale down the street, and the paint was $10.00 at the Home Depot. the cool life ring we found in the dumpster, and its from a Panamanian Ship, so really it is the only thing that was for free. so all together I guess $12.00 is not so bad for a little beach flare around the house. The drift wood and coral were free! Here you go Mom just like I promised, my newly reorganized closet. And for all you male bloggers out there (So you don't pull my Man-card) My Alpha Black -Dual weaver tactical rail mounts with fore grip. -Raised scope rail mounting system. -Nc Star Red dot sight. -And a Black Hawk 1pt tactical sling.
