Days with the Cormier's

Speaking of the "lights in my life" (see the post below about Rookie),...the biggest one of all is turning 30 in just 30 minutes!! I have known Lance for about 12 years, (just before he turned 18!!), and I love him more now than ever. Sometimes, I get the opportunity to just look at him when he doesn't know, and I am so overwhelmed with love for him that I have to hold back tears.

I am so sad that we can't be with him on his birthday, so I made him as many baked goods as he could take with him today. LJ cried when he found out we were missing his birthday, (he thinks we are skipping out on his party), so we are planning an "Alabama football party" when Lance returns. LJ chose the Bama theme...Double Doozie cookie cake, balloons and a great chicken fricasse for lunch.

When I think of where we started - kids driving cross-country with an 18-year-old poodle in the car, (with a can of lysol - Magic's breath!)...the dreams we had that we are realizing and attaining together, I am amazed by God's grace and where we are now. Here's to 60 more blessed years for my precious husband! Lance, I can promise that there is no man on God's green earth loved more than you!!!

The assortment of baked goods

I told him, I tried to bake as much as we wish we could be there... :)
