I love you Husband of Mine

Thank you for taking me on a date. Oh wait, I think I took you. Oh well, it was so much fun and you were such a gentleman. Thanks for talking me into Star Trek. I loved it! Big Surprise.

{also a big thank you to the Craven's for taking the boys, you're the best!}

My Birthday - Yes, I am 25

My Sweet little Boo Boo's covered in chocolate from Em's Pie. Yum!















Em, Shan, Ash and the kids brought me lunch.











Nathan took me to dinner.






















And then to my surprise {literally very surprised}, Nathan bought me my very own computer. I should have known he couldn't pass up going all out on a computer when I mentioned I wanted one. And yes, he is very jealous of it. It does totally rock by the way. Thanks honey!!!


Ashlee and Debbie decorated the exterior of our home, but I can't find the pictures Nate took. It was very cute though. I also received several calls and messages from all of you. Thanks again for a wonderful day!

Mothers Day and More...

Nate made me a videocard for mothers day - here is just a little snippet that I just had to share with everyone. Thank you Nate. I love you boys!

Notice how little Sam dances to the music. We started to discover his dance ability while he was watching Baby Einstein.

Privatize your blog?

Recently I met with a bride to be who works with the boys and girls club as an internet safety adviser. I asked her about making your blog private and she had some interesting information to share. She said that she has 5 blogs and none of them are private. What she suggested is instead of making your blog private is that you actually remove from your settings the option where it says "Let search engines find your blog?" selecting "no" on this option stops sites like google and yahoo from searching your site and making your blog and personal info searchable on their sites and easy to find for anyone. Which is where most who have no business seeing your blog would find it. Try copying and pasting a line from a recent post into a google search engine and see if it pulls you up - try it even if you have a privatized blog - anything familiar come up? One other piece of info she shared was that most hackers are drawn to private blogs, because when access is limited they believe there is even more personal information that may be found. Either way - private or not - if you have a family blog and have not made your blog private - it seems to be a good idea to at least make your site not searchable. Thoughts?

Congrats Matt

Matt I'm proud of you buddy. After a lot of hard work, Matt successfully completed his program. It was great to see you at the end of this road and at the start of another. Love you brother -
