Mother's Day




Buck just simply out did himself. Don't they look luscious. Well they were. I just wished and prayed it was Mother's Day every day, every day. He prepared everything for Sally and I. Special indeed it was. He even baked a chocolate buttermilk pie topped with ice cream. I don't have a picture of that but believe me, there was absolutely, not even a crumb left. In all seriousness, I want to express my deep appreciation to Buck. After working 14 hours on Saturday, he came home baked the pie as soon as he got home at 10:00 pm, stayed up til 2am to bake and make sure the pie was completely cool before refrigerating it. Then he woke up at 7am to get ready for church @ 8am. We came back around 10:00, he started preparing the side dishes and continued on with rubbing the ribs with the seasoning finishing up with some BBQ sauce. By 2:00 he placed the ribs in the oven and had everything ready by 5:00 which was the time set for dinner. He cleaned up the kitchen and was finally able to take a quick cat nap at 7:00 pm. He was up a little before 8pm to say good night to Kendra and he still found time to sit, relax while we talked a little about the meal, conversation during dinner, the kids and their individual personalities. It is now 10:30pm and I am sitting here typing away with tears running down my cheeks asking myself how very fortunate, lucky, blessed I am to have said the right words, glanced in his direction enough to catch his attention, and to finally say "I love You So!" Be here with three amazing kids and make not a single change throughout our 11 1/2 years of marriage if I had the chance to. "Deep Sigh" I can't thank Buck enough ever for his humbleness, devotion, faithfulness, his ever lasting love for me. I have everything I've ever wanted. That's all I need.
Thank You baby.

That's my cousin! He has always been a thoughtful, caring person. Which is why he has always been my favorite. :O) Sounds like he outdid himself. But I'm sure you were very deserving. I'm glad it was a great day!
