13 years!

The best part about getting married is the cake, we all know that - right?

Second best thing: I get to spend my life with the amazing Jason Carlock who goes out of his way to make me feel like everyday is a celebration of our love. Doesn't hurt to get a couple dozen roses to get your point across though. :)

11 years

Yesterday was my 11 year anniversary at work. I have been continually grateful for the opportunity to work at XM and now Sirius XM.  I love my career and my family so much and try to keep it all in balance.  Thinking back- the first 6 years we lived on the east coast Jason and I  left one full room of things in boxes- not sure if we should unpack. Everything seemed temporary. Ah, the things you never thought would  happen in your life.  Living on the east coast was not part of the master plan back in oh - 1999.

  

Anyway, I was reading James a book before bed and came across some great advice from an unlikely source. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 

"As you travel down that road of life, remember this:  There are never enough comfort stops. The places you're going to are never on the map. And once you get that map out, you won't be able to refold it no matter how smart you are. 

So forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can, pull over and have a picnic with a pig. And if you can help it, never fly as cargo. "

The baby cakes!

Yep, I made them :). It was so fun, even if James won't remember it :)

My birthday boy.

James turns 1, happy birthday Junebug!
