Happy Birthday Rex!

By -

Here's the Birthday Man! And what did he want to do for his birthday? Play Rock Band in his THEATER of course! (can you tell that we're really excited that the Theater is done? Yes, it's Theater with a capital T.)







So while everyone was jamming down in the basement, I tried getting crafty and 'Pinterest-y' for Rex's birthday. Let it be known that anything artsy has never been a strength for me. Oh, but what is that beautiful green cake on the table there? Let's take a closer look...




Isn't it just...just...... full of personality?? I love how McKenzie put it, "Why Edda, how did you get that cake center to fall so perfectly??" Oh it was easy, really. And I meant to do it on purpose, you see, to put the pink marshmallows inside of course! It takes years of practice to make a cake this good-looking.



Poor Rex even had to light his own candles with Sam hovering nearby getting ready to blow any minute.



Wait for it....



...wait for it.... and...



Congratulations! You are officially 31!

We love you, Rex! You are the greatest and most understanding husband, along with being a terrific dad, and an excellent tech support guy for any damsel - or dame- in distress. YOUSDABEST!

Happy Birthday Rex! And PLEASE tell me that's not all the pictures of the finished Theater we are going to see.

Edda, I would have eaten that cake all up myself. Marshmallows is a genius idea! :)

Some Time Away in Paradise

Rex and I went to Maui, Hawaii together, just the two of us!  It's times like this when we get to see the value of him traveling so much - the plane trip and hotel were completely paid for with points.  Cha-ching!  Rex totally spoiled me too.  The Mariott we stayed in was fit for a king and queen - a humongous tub, fully stocked kitchen, big comfy bed, an amazing breakfast buffet every morning, a tropical paradise of pools and hot tubs and beautiful flowers every where... a girl could get used to this.   We spent the first night and morning cramming in some homework for our scuba-diving certification class.  The next 2 days were spent at the scuba shop and in the ocean, passing off drills and skills needed to not-die.  And good news.  We did not die and completely lost ourselves underwater looking at the beautiful fish and eels and turtles around us.  Okay, just one turtle.  But it was pretty memorable!  I didn...

So now that I have finally caught up with my blogging, I feel that I need to explain where I've been. This blog is mainly for journal purposes, so just ignore this post if it makes you uncomfortable. I've known that I've struggled with depression for five years now. I've been in some dark places in my life with horrible thoughts and temptations, but it's been under control for the most part. I've been "missing" for the past 2 months because I was slowly spiraling downwards without realizing it. True, I never had any suicidal thoughts this last time (maxing out your Zoloft should have SOME kind of effect) but I started losing interest in the things that usually make me happy. Blogging. Creativity. Photography. My family. Sunshine. With the winter, it seemed that everything had turned gray and dead, and not just the plants. My husband kept urging me to do something just for me, but I always felt that I didn't have time, and if I did, that i...

Surrounded by Handsomeness

      We christened the new van by going on TWO road trips this month. The first was to Oklahoma (and I guess, technically, Branson, MO as well) and the next weekend was to Utah to celebrate Rex's sister's wedding! So so so happy for her and her new hubby.  We got our first picture as a family with EVERYONE wearing a suit, well, except me of course. What handsome men surround me!
