Happy Anniversary Dear...

Yesterday.
James and I celebrated 12 years of marriage yesterday. Yes, on tax day, long story.
I am very grateful for him. I'm sure he would say the same, but I am convinced God knew I needed him for a husband. We have opposite personalities, but similar tastes. He is my teacher, best friend, and confidant. Loooove him!
However, I did forget to buy him something. He remembered(although late in the day). After 12 years, our love is strong, but the shopping gusto isn't there...lol.
Our little secret, I am gonna buy him something this weekend. Shhhh.


Wanna see what he bought me? A card, some of my favorite candy, and beautiful roses.



Oh, and this is why I labeled this post "Keepin' It Real". It is true...I don't have a vase in my house, or in storage. Nothing to put those beautiful flowers in...except,


yeah, one of James' frosted glass mugs. That thing is huge. Perfect fit. I should have waited until the frost evaporated though...
After 12 years you would think I would know who is my husband, but he still insists on signing his whole name on the cards he gives me...so cute...

Keepin' it real, huh?

Well, I tried. I made the effort to find areas of my pristine home that were, how do you say?, "unkept". But ya know, I just couldn't find any "keepin' it real moments" in my bathroom.

Nah, It's clean as a whistle.


So I tried my living room. Nope....spotless.



Not trying to brag or anything.

I even attempted to see if my yard offered anything I could divulge on this post. Nada...

I understand most moms aren't superwomen like I am. They should be applauded for the effort to keep a spotless home as I do.
Sorry Brenda, maybe next time.
*wispering to my son* "You think they are buying this?"



Not a chance
