To the moon and back again...

DAY 25 - January 25, 2010






I got this fantastic necklace from my Mom for Christmas (which we just celebrated while they were in town last weekend). I had forwarded her a link to a website where I'd happened upon this jewelry over 6 months ago and asked if John could make something like this. Well, she said she was going to be taking a class that she thought would teach her how to do it. So...I waited...and the class didn't turn out to be what she wanted it to be. I'd forgotten completely about this necklace until I opened up my last Christmas gift. I LOVE IT!! Thanks Mom!

There is a story behind why the boys and I say we love each other to the moon and back... Actually our saying is "I love you to the moon and back again and a little extra all the way to my back." What's with the "little extra" you ask? Well, when Kaden was about 4 I was holding my arms out and I'd say I love you this much. Then he'd hold his arms out a little wider and say "Well, I love you this much." I held mine out as far as they'd go and say "I love you this much." What did he do? Only from the mouth of a babe...he stretched his arms out them pushed them all the way behind him and said "I love you all the way to my back." And so it was done...now we love each other all the way to the moon and back again and a little extra all the way to our back."
