perspectives on dreams

The other day a co-worked asked me what I would do if someone gave me a check for $1.2 million dollars.

My response: Buy a cotton candy machine, hire a nanny, and hire a maid (not a nanny who also cleans, but a nanny and a maid so they can keep an eye on each other and tell me if one isn't doing their job right).

I asked Philip the same ? tonight.

His response: Put away money for Raegan's college expenses, take a Colorado ski trip and a deep sea fishing trip in the Atlantic, build a new house and a lake house and buy a boat.

I'm guessing he assumed no taxes! lol!

Anyways, I'm still awake because we watched the scariest movie ever tonight (Paranormal Activity) - it was the only one not sold out at the theater when we got there. Truth be told, we had planned on going to a friend's house for a pumpkin carving party we got invited to. I thought it was on Saturday and wrote it in my calendar and made arrangements for our friend from small group, Amy, to watch Miss Raegan for us. Right before we were about to head out the door, I asked Philip to look at the invite because I forgot the address... that's when he realized the party was actually on Friday and we had missed it! Since we had already made plans for Amy to watch Raegan, we decided to go to the movies.

Raegan has been sleeping since we picked her up! nice! So I asked Philip to come sleep in the living room so I could stay up and watch How to Lose A Guy in 10 days (my fav) and not be scared!

I hope I can get some sleep tonight... :/

I love you Philip!

Heard this song yesterday... made me think of my wonderful husband :) I love you Philip!


You’re better than the best
I’m lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flipside of my pillow, that’s right
Completely unaware
Nothin’ can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it’s okay, yeah it’s okay
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

Even when you’re gone
Somehow you come along just like a flower
Poking through the sidewalk crack
And just like that, you steal away the rain
And just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed
Sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head
Spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold
Buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

Don’t know how I lived without you
‘Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

Tara's 24th Birthday!

So its been awhile since we've made a post... we've been really busy! I'm working a busy season right now, Raegan is changing everyday, and Philip is watching football and helping out a lot with taking care of Raegan.

For my 24th birthday on the 1st, I opened birthday presents including a pedicure gift certificate from the in-laws, a VS giftcard and sweet card from the hubby, and birthday cards from April and Lauren, then I had to work. I left the roses my mom sent to me on Monday in our audit room until Thursday and got lots of comments on how pretty they were! Speaking of my mom, she was real emotional this birthday, maybe because I was turning "2 dozen years old." She even let me know that I was born at 5:57pm 24 years ago... I think me having Raegan now made her a lot more sentimental about my birth. Anyways, Thursday evening we had dinner (Ribs, mashed potatoes, beans, fruit salad, rice krispie treats!) and small group (Living Differently) at Kevin and Julie's house. There were 13 of us there and it was Julia's (26), Gentry's (1), and my birthday... we didn't even plan that. I wonder what the odds are for that.. let me know if you can figure it out, I probably should just ask my dad who could probably figure it out in his head!

Well its after 8 and I'm exhausted, sad I know! So goodnight from the Smith family. Raegan is already dreaming of sugarplums dancing in her head....
