YouTube'n It!

Missed a video?  Right now, I only have 3 videos on my MrsBeyondBlessed account on youtube.  Be sure to make that channel your favorite in case I don't post a video in this blog.  Enjoy!

Once things go back to normal like Gavin's childcare, Eric's work, our workout schedule, everyone back from vacation then hopefully I'll have time to make more videos.  Stay tuned as always....

Too Mushy? Too Bad!

This entry is about my husband.  I probably don't write about him as often as I do about Gavin but he is still a huge part of me!  This August we will be celebrating 3 years of marriage together.  We joke because we say it feels like longer (in a good way).  We have been through a lot since getting married and even moreso since being together in general.  This September we will have been together for 6 years!  I still remembering in our dating years that when we argued, I would run away; not want to talk to him then break up with him.  Then a week later we would be back together.  Oh how things have changed! 

I am so blessed to be married to a man of integrity.  A man that loves his family and is determined to put them first.  A man that knows how to communicate in an effective way.  A man that wears his emotions on his sleeve.  A man that is so passionate about depleting debt that he wants to educate young people in not creating debt.  A man that makes his son laugh with a simple napkin trick.  A man that makes his wife melt with a gentle kiss and a long embrace.  A man that is talented in so many ways.  A man that always rights the wrongs.  A man that uses common sense.  A man that can create a conversation with anyone around him.  A man that can cook like a chef.  A man that is an honest, hardworker.  A man that is understanding, supportive and extremely patient.  A man that prays for God's will.  A man that relies on the Lord.  A man that strives to be a better husband/man.  A man that respects the concept of marriage.  A man that puts a smile on my face when I think of him.

My husband is far from being the perfect man.  But he is the perfect man for me.  I love you, Eric!

Where Have I Been?!

All over the place....

Two weekends ago, I was in Miami.  Last week, I stayed home with Gavin, however, we definitely didn't "stay home".  We were out visiting friends and family for lunch and walks and pool time.  We went to the library at least 3 times for age appropriate fun.  We went to the beach and met a fun family to play with.  But most importantly, we were together.  Gavin was such a trooper through all of our travels and visits.  I really enjoyed my time with Gavin and it's going to be difficult to start working again.  But the bills need to be paid!  Here are some pictures of our time together.

Lookout!

I know I've mentioned this before but I'm going to do my best to start a video blog this weekend.  It's where you'll hear my updates rather than read them.  I still have to edit our Father's Day videos and well as some others since then.  It will be a busy weekend but I'll get it done soon.  Have a Happy 4th of July and be on the lookout for my face!  :)

By the way, I did get some great suggestions for my smelly feet.  Now I just need to buy some cheap vodka and men's deodorant spray.  Hopefully they'll smell like roses when I'm done!  :)
