This morning I looked over to the left side of the bed and realized something.. I love being married to my best buddy in the whole wide world. I never thought I would feel this way about being married. It's nice to know that I always have someone to hang out with and vice versa. Or that he is the most wonderful hubby sometimes.. Because he is very understand (most times), loving, fun, serious when need be, my rock and encourages me to hang out with friends.. doesn't expect me to be with him at ALL times... And I feel the same way. I love the fact that when we go to dinner we can talk about the day, about work or anything.. but also we don't have to say a word. I love the fact that we enjoy eating the same food and if i don't like it he'll eat and same for him. I love the fact that our families both love us and that for the we all get along.
I do wish that we could see his family more.. Because my nephews and sister know him but I don't think that his niece and nephew really know me. Plus his mom is definitely one of the BEST cooks i know. I sure do miss her cooking.

30 and enjoying life
Some people dread the day they turn 30 or think that 30 is old.. Which I must admit I was one of 'those' people when I was in my late teens and even early 20's. But I am happy to be 30 and so enjoying my life. I feel that I am wiser and more go with the flow than i was 10 years ago... Plus my friends and i enjoy telling stories about the past.. We laugh so hard about it all... :-D

Barnes and Noble
Not sure is this was true or not but still wanted to warn you mommies out there:
I was in Barnes and Noble bookstore this evening around 8pm in the children's section with Ryan. He was sitting at a round kids table and I was looking at books within 3-4 feet from him. All of a sudden this young guy darts in the children's area right toward RYAN. He must not have seen me from the angle he was approaching Ryan. I felt a weird feeling, not sure if he was looking for his kid or he was out of place--- so I darted right in front of him JUST BEFORE HE GOT TO RYAN!!! Looking confused he went out of the children's area back into the store. He did not make eye contact with me or make any comment. I told a sales associate right away, and they said he had been hanging out near the children's area ALL night. I did not want Ryan to be scared or just in case this guy was mentally ill (who knows what people are capable of..) I took Ryan's hand and told him mommy was going to get a magazine then we were going home. I picked up a magazine and kept an eye out for him.I went to the checkout stand and I saw him move from the back of the store to the front. I told the clerk to walk me out because I did not feel safe. For some reason I felt that if I grabbed Ryan and ran out it may be risky, so the manager was watching him and I tried to act normal.
I put some music on in the car so Ryan would not hear me call the police. The officer said she just missed him and she was very frustrated the store did not call the police. She and I spoke for awhile --and she was saying it is not uncommon for a sexual predator/ kidnapper to hang out in bookstores and especially places like "the jungle" & water parks.
This guy was in his 30's kind of nerdy looking in shorts a tee and tennis shoes. He was wearing reading glasses and had greasy, shaggy
hair. I am trying to remain calm and be thankful Ryan is safe. For a person to be that brazen would lead me to think his intent was kidnapping.
NEVER have a false sense of security, even when there are other moms and children around.

What's a girl to do?
I know some girls are totally into clothes and shoes.. But my things are make-up (not that I wear it), skin care, purses and wallets... I just can't seem to get enough. Although I have been really good about not buying my expensive brands for the last 2 years... But I love to go and look at them.. And if there is a make up event with one of the brands that I like I am so there.. But why? I don't need anymore? But why am I always looking for something better?

Recovering and Vegas Baby...
I guess I will have to post another one for some reason that last post I wrote disappeared.. So I guess this will be another short one..
So most of last week I was trying to get over this cold that I had.. So I was basically miserable. Then Thursday off to Vegas.. didn't really gamble but shopped a lot!! On the last day I decided to just suck it up and purchase a little something for me:

And Monday we celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary.. :-D I can't believe it's been 2 years that we've been married. I never thought I would enjoy being married as much as I have and that I love knowing that I will be with him for the rest of my life.. Being with one person always used to scare the lights out of me... Let alone being in a serious relationship. I never really let anyone into my life before - I mean completely.
I miss my friend Beatrice cuz we usually talk or see each other but since I have been sick I really haven't talked to her. Hopefully we'll get to go for another walk this week. :-D
