The Answer

A few days ago my best friend and I were having a conversation about men.  Mainly we were discussing how when you ask them certain things it can make or break how you feel about them by the answers they give.  More specifically we were discussing how she had asked a guy a simple question like, "Well, what is it you like about me?" and he had no answer.  Now granted, men usually don't know how to put their feelings into words, but my goodness... come up with something!  Surely you don't like to spend hours on end with me and not like a single thing about me.  Even if all you like is my great rack, go ahead and say it.  It's better than NOTHING!  

So fast forward to last night.  Josh and I had taken a day trip to OKC for me to do an Arbonne party and deliver Girl Scout cookies.  We were on our way back to Flower Mound and just rockin' out to whatever songs we could find on the radio.  Of course there is always that song that prompts a discussion so I thought, "Here is my chance.  I should see what he says when I put him on the spot."  So as we discussed past relationships and such I asked, "So why me?"  And what does he say??  NOTHING!  As I began to mentally move his things out of the house so that I didn't waste another minute of someone who has no answer as to why he's spent the last four plus years with me I decided to give him one last chance.  I said, "So you don't have an answer?"  And in the most sincere and loving tone he goes, "You are the answer."

Immediately my heart melted.  I quickly moved his things back in (mentally of course), and assured him that he had received enough brownie points to make it through the week with that answer.  He said he wasn't going for brownie points, and oddly enough, I know it's true.  The way he looks at me... the way he touches me... it all tells me exactly what he said last night.  I'm in love with an amazing man who loves me unconditionally and makes sure to go out of his way to show me that each and every day.  However, it sure did melt my heart to hear him say it.


And guess what Mr. Marick... You are my answer too.  The good, the bad, and everything in between.  I will spend the rest of my life loving you.

A little lovey dovey stuff from our first year together!

3-Day Ambassador... now what?!?

Earlier this week I was notified that I had been chosen as a 2011 Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure Online Ambassador.  I was totally excited!  I really am not sure what all of that means.  I'm hoping that we will find out more soon about what is expected/needed of us.  However, anything that makes the 3-day experience more rewarding is something I'm definitely up for because this is a cause I'm so passionate about.  

You see, the 3-Day is the most amazing experience EVER!  Yes, it's a lot of walking.  Yes, you are physically and emotionally exhausted everyday.  But what you get back from it is priceless.  Knowing you are spreading awareness and raising money to fight breast cancer... well, you just can't beat that!

I'm super excited to be a part of the 3-Day again this year.  My sister and I will be walking together again.  I'm hoping we can find some more people who want to join our team.  (Right now is a great time to do it because you can save $25 when you sign up!!)  I can't wait to be back in our pink tent (with our decorations), being cheered on by our community, eating gramwiches (the best!), making new friends, and FIGHTING BREAST CANCER!

3 Days, 60 Miles... Why I Walk

When someone mentions breast cancer we can all think of someone we know who has been affected by this disease. A disease that knows no boundaries... a disease that changes lives and families forever.

Like most, I know many who have been forced to face this disease in one way or another. Some have fought this fight and won, and sadly, others have not. Some have simply had a "scare" and one has been told that she will lose her life to this disease. Sadly, my walking will not change the circumstances for those who have lost their fight against this disease. But I can do my part to ensure that the future is different... for myself, for my daughters, for all the women in this world.

This will be my 2nd time to walk this wonderful, life changing event! Last year was an experience of a lifetime in more ways than one. This year I'm back... with new goals, ambition, and more determination than ever to raise money and walk 60 miles! Some people think I'm crazy... some people think it's a great cause, but just can't imagine themselves doing it... but me, well, I just think that "everyone deserves a lifetime"!

So this is my salute to you! The fighters, the survivors, women everywhere... my precious daughters... this walk is for you!

*For Lexie & Hadlie*

My precious girls... Bitty Boo and Little Foot... From the moment I held you in my arms I have loved you in a way that is simply indescribable. Nothing I can physically do will ever be able to show you that love. As your mother I care for your needs, I wipe your tears, I pray for you, I encourage you, I do all that I know how to do. So consider this one more thing I am doing for you. Mommy will spend hours away from you training and fundraising. I will spend 3 days away from you during the walk. But I'm doing that, my sweet babies, for you... your future... because I love you more than you will ever know! Even though you do not realize it, you are changing the world by allowing your Mommy to be a part of something so extraordinary. You are my biggest fans... my reasons for walking... and the loves of my life! Know that you are in my heart with every step I take. I am doing this, so you won't have to! I love you Bitty & Little! Love, Mommy
