Married 8 years?

Yes I can't believe we have been married 8 years today. First time flies and second Im getting older. Can it be possible that Im old enough to be married that long? See along with getting married I have my birthday a couple of days later. So Im really feelin it now. Can't believe this is me and Rami 8 yrs ago.

In the 8 years we have been married we have moved 7 times!
We have 2 kids... Sydney 5 and Blake 3 on aug22

We have our dog Bear who was our first baby. We got him 1 yr after we were married.

We are now mini van drivers. Who would have thought. And I actually love mine.

Embarrassing Moments

Sydney is only 5, yet I just recently found out that I've became the parent who embarrasses their child already.

This past Sunday we were at church and I was talking to someone and then trying to make my way out of the conversation by shuffling Sydney along to class and smacking her booty in the right direction. To which she said, "MOOOOOM", in her how could you do that in front of everyone tone! I heard a few chuckles behind me and said, "What?" to Sydney. I didn't know I had done anything. Then she told me... "stop embarrassing me". That really got the people walking behind us roaring.

And I thought... yea right! Of all the times you have embarrassed me with a tantrum or not listening and telling me NO defiantly. And I'm embarrasing you?

I wondered when and if this day would come. Didn't think it would come so soon. I thought I would be cool enough where I wouldn't be an embarrasement to my kids. But I guess I'm already there. Might as well roll with it.

And this is when the fun begins... Muaahhaaaha :)
