My wonderful hubby and best friend of 11 years, that God has truly blessed me with. He is the BEST husband and dad in the world, and helps me in every way possible!!! Just call him "Super Dad!" Erik is a firefighter who enjoys his life golfing, hunting, and making his baby boy squirm with excitement and tons of smiles. I cannot brag on Erik enough!
The love of our lives was born on 8.13.09 and is the light of our lives. Mills is our happy, busy, typical little boy, who never slows down. He is a huge fan of Moose and Zee, Handy Manny and Mickey Mouse and loves playing with his "big-brother-dog," Joey. There is not a day that goes by that I don't look at this precious miracle given to us by God and sit in awe.
Joey is actually our "first" four-legged child. He is 10 years old, a whopping 87lbs, and gets the award for the best personality ever. Joey has slowly adapted to the fact that there is a "new kid" in the house. Chewing on his bone, riding in and on everything, hanging out under Mills' highchair, and letting Mills do anything and everything to him are all part of his daily routine.
Today in honor of "V-day" (I call it that because Erik and I don't participate, 9 years at a florist will do it for ya!) Oxygen channel was playing the 1987 Comedy "Can't Buy Me Love" starring Amanda Petersen and Patrick Dempsey. I hadn't seen the movie in years. It acutally made me laugh to see it on the channel guide, because everytime I see Grey's Anatomy, I can't help but think of Ronald, Patrick Dempsey's character in Can't Buy Me Love. Every one is always talking about "Dr. McDreamy" and how, whats the word all of you use..."hot?" he is. Not that his looks haven't dramatically improved over the years, because I will agree with you all, they have. But...on the other hand all I can remember when I see him is this geeky guy at a highschool dance doing this goofy dance with his hands in the air and shaking them back and forth. Oh, It was called the "African Anteater Ritual." Sorry, it just doesn't do a thing for me. LOL! We have all had our ugly duckling stages, I know, but gee!
I am loving life. God has blessed me with so much. I am the wife to my WONDERFUL husband of 11 years, Erik, and I am still wondering when the honeymoon will end! We just welcomed our first baby boy, Mills Oliver, on August 13, 2009 and feel truly blessed. I am a Christian who loves the Lord. He has given me so much more than I could ever deserve. Being a new mother has been the most rewarding and challenging thing that I have experienced! We are blessed with a wonderful family and terrific friends. In 2003 I FINALLY graduated with my B.S. in dental hygiene from the University of Tennessee.
