A week of celebrations

This week we will be having 2 celebrations. The first was yesterday my 6th wedding anniversary. How time flies! 
Earlier on in the week we came across our home made wedding video, starting with my sister waking us with a camera in our faces, to the whole getting ready, vows and then the after party. It was a wonderful day with close friends and family. 

It was the first time in anytime i can remember getting both my parents in a picture!

Great picture i think, other than my eyes been closed when it was taken lol. So which do i look like??
My mom and dad haven't been together for over 20 yrs but it was lovely to know that they can both still be in the same room (even if they both deny it lol)

 My dad came with his now wife and their 3 children. No pictures of his wife as she didn't want to be in any which was a little disheartening but totally her choice, i know as I'm getting older i prefer my pictures not to be taken lol. We had only just got in contact not long before then after many years so it was great that they would come all the way to great yarmouth to enjoy the special day with me. I only wish a certain person would realise we had a friendship, someone to confide in, someone i thought i had a connection with, knew this. Insecurity can really break things apart!

 Anyway so yes 6 whole yrs...we went for a lovely meal (first time we have celebrated our anniversary in like 4 years! We went to a lovely Turkish restaurant and my diet went out the window!

 More pics from my special day!

 So the next celebration starts tomorrow! My stepson Lucas turns 12! One step closer to teenage years although tbh i think both kids hit it a few years ago.

 After 2 years of nagging he is finally getting a  hamster, (more to follow on that!) So my task for today is to get baking a cake...just gotta decide, chocolate or normal!

 Here's a happy 6th wedding anniversary to my wonderful husband and a happy 12th birthday to Lucas x

Poetic Thursday

I thought i would keep in with The Gallery's theme this week and dedicate my poem to Birth. I wrote this poem when i first had my son. OK so its not about the birth of him...but it was the birth of him that gave me the opportunity to write it. Does that make sense lol? A life Story If time could tell a story, i wonder how it would be. If each and everyone should tell theirs, then the whole wide world would see. If i told mine to you today this is how it would be. Not so long ago in a house i lived, with 3 sisters and a bro, A mommy and step daddy whom loved us so In this house lived a man. A nasty man was he He hurt me bad, that made me sad, but a secret it should be. He did things that made me sick, feel dirty all the time And no on came to help me, because i showed no sign. Then i grew up, a big girl now was i And i told the whole wide world about this nasty guy. Nothing good could come from it, i knew that from the start But at least the hurt and pain had stopped, or at least a

I found this poem whilst doing research of one of my OU tma's. I found the 'story' to me heart touching and so real with todays life. Mothers day - inspiring story about mother ( an inspiring motivational story ) A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars." The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave. The man returned to the flower shop, ca

Poetic Thursday- Daddies day coming up to the remebrance of 9/11

I contemplated on whether to save this for sunday or publish it today for my poetic thursday, i figured today was the right one. Im not entirly sure on who wrote this, but it touched my heart and i have to say left me in tears. Coming up to Sunday which is 9/11 take a second to remeber the lives lost. Daddies day Her hair was up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was 'Daddy's Day' at school, and she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates of why he wasn't there today. But still her mother worried, for her to face this day alone. And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home. But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all. About a dad she never sees, a dad who never calls. There were daddies along the wall in back, for every
