20 Days of Marriage Blessings - Day 2

I feel blessed that he makes me laugh

He is the only person that can point his finger at me like he is going to tickle me and I burst out laughing. Not just a chuckle but flat out eyes shut, can't catch my breath, rolling around, roaring laughter. I don't know what that's about but it's kinda cool. I can't go a day without laughing .. no matter how bad the day.

20 Days of Marriage Blessings - Day 1

I feel blessed that we have the same beliefs.
 

This has always been so important to me and I have always known, even as a little girl, that I was to marry someone with the same beliefs. It is the foundation of how we treat each other, how we wanted to raise our kids and in general what kind of people we want to be. There isn't a spot in our lives where our religious beliefs hasn't been a part of .. how we conduct ourselves at work, how we speak to our kids and each other, how we treat our parents, what kind of shows/movies we watch, what holidays we celebrate and how, and even how we spend our money. Marriage is already a complex union of two different individuals with different habits, thought processes and expectations why would anyone deliberately choose to make it more difficult.

20 Days of Marriage Blessings

I can't believe it .. I just can't believe it. In 21 days we would be married 20 years .. TWENTY!! And there hasn't been a day that has passed that I haven't felt blessed being married to this man. In honor of such an occasion I thought I would do a  '20 Days of Marriage Blessings' series .. where for the next 20 days I will say why I feel blessed to be married. I sometimes think with the hectic lives we lead that people focus too much on the 'weight' of being married rather than the 'blessing' of it.
 

Broncos Toes ~ 2

This week has been so super CRAZY!! So all I ended up doing was swiping a fresh coat of NYC Empire State Blue and adding a white French tip to the orange. The white is Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Hard To Get #110 .. it has great coverage and wearability. A word of caution :: it seems that babies are fascinated by the orange/white combo .. every baby I saw wanted to play with my toes. Weirdness =D

Never .. Ever ..

Broncos Toes ~ 1

Our first game of the season is against the Colts (which can I say I really like their team colors and logo) and I got myself and our youngest grand-baby ready for the game by doing a simple two tone toes. She is a wiggle worm and I  had a hard time just staying on her nails much less do something fancy. But it was a fun project. For fun projects like this I tend to use the cheap drugstore polish and in my stash I already have NYC Empire State Blue and Sinful Colors Cloud 9 #853 - both have a bit of shimmer but are on the transparent side. I am using 3 coats of the blue but the orange wasn't going to hack it. So I used my daughter's Pure Ice Drive Me Crazy #1029  and I was really surprised on how super pigmented it is. It is definitely a one coat polish, which I own another Pure Ice product and it isn't as pigmented and it chipped easily. But it is matte so I just used my orange over it to add a bit of shimmer. And now we are ready for game day!!

Let's Go Broncos

For the past 20 years I have been married to a wonderful man who happens to take his football seriously. Being that he is a native of Denver .. he has been programmed from the womb to be a Broncos fan. No .. I don't own kitschy things such as Broncos towels, lamps, rugs or bedspreads (except for a Santa dressed in Broncos gear which actually I bought) but we all have our shirts that need to be worn on game day, there is no idle talking allowed (only during commercials) and if for any reason you are to blame for a game going bad - you will need to leave the room. Yea .. I know. So how does a girl such as myself who is still trying to figure out all the rules get ready for game day .. I polish my nails LOL  This year I thought I would try to do a new 'look' on my toes for each game .. which I don't know if it feasible being that there are 16 games but I am going to try. Now please know that I AM NOT A NAIL ARTIST in any way, shape or form - I just like having fun ~ so these posts won't be super fancy or need some crazy tutorial. I just thought it would be fun to share with you.
