I had a treat last weekend
It came from our yard
Lazily in bed I lay reading on the ipad, when it was brought to me with breakfast. {including coffee}
They are EVERYWHERE
{Which means it MUST be true}

Happy Anniversary 3/14-3/15
Yesterday we went to dinner.
Well deserved.
Ate at a restaurant called Terra.
Wouldn't recommend going on a Monday.
Took in a show called "The Adjustment Bureau".
It turned out to be a love story.
Perfect for our day.
Today, however, symbolizes the trek to Molokai to pledge our love forever to each other, and how we have overcome obstacles like losing wedding rings in the ocean hours before the ceremony and replacing them with plastic plumeria rings.
Always and Forever
Until the end of time.

Things that you should do (in no particular order)
1. Dance in the rain on a hot summer night
2. Be thankful
3. Buy an extra water for that guy standing at the stoplight with the homeless sign
4. Phone a friend you've been meaning to call for sometime now
5. Choose your words carefully
6. Send a thank you note, especially to those who've put you up at least once a month since you've moved
7. Share the recipe for the ribs your husband makes (it's a sin if you keep it to yourself!)
8. Be a cheerleader for someone you haven't even met, but only in the virtual world
9. Protect. your. children.
10. and for Mackinley... Give the bird to someone who will not let you merge into traffic on the H1. ;o)
This is what I have for you today... Ice skating the weekend of Thomas's birthday. L.O.V.E. those eyes!

Farewell, Mr. Marshall
Dear Doug,
I am so sad for especially Carla and Nanna. My heart breaks for Brooke, Leah, Mark, Ken and Lisa, and all of our family. For those lives you have touched, I am sad for all of us who knew you and all of us who didn't have enough time with you. Enough time... Could there possibly be such a thing?
My heart feels like in losing you, I've lost another father figure, especially from the time that you and Carla started spending the summer time in South Dakota until the time that we left. First I lost my dad, then Papa Beck, and now you. I can see them standing there waiting for you, shotguns in hand... ready to go hunting. I know you were welcomed with open arms.
The ability to nuture any relationship is one thing I admire most about you. Carla said it about you, but in recalling, I heard you tell James about Papa in that "He never knew a stranger, and never had an enemy". So 'tis true about you, my friend. I guess it takes one to know one. (You two are amazing men)
You showed me by example how to be an equal partner to James, giving advise and encouraging imaginary "stick-to-it- ivness" that you must have picked up from Nanna. (What a woman she is!! And your wife... There just are no words for what you both have done.) And when I brought James to meet you, and you hit it off from the get-go, I was sure that I had made a great choice in becoming his wife. You were always so thoughtful to ask of him while he was deployed.
I saw you be a great person to so many, helping in a time of need. (Especially to our newly formed family). It just goes to show how big your heart truly was.
You have left me with so many wonderful memories. Your laughter and warm inviting hugs will be sorely missed. I am proud to have been apart of your family. I will always carry a piece of you in my heart. And when it is my time to come home to the Lord, I will be happy in knowing that I will see you again.
Love,
T

Get it together
I can't seem to do it.
This month really has been a doozy!
I can't open up facebook without it bringing tears to my eyes.
Really.
My heart is heavy for the loss so many are feeling.
For the loss that I feel.
Doug.... There are really no words right now.
When they come
I will share them here.
For now, I know you are with the Lord, and that eases the sorrow.
