Smiles

Well today at work was so peaceful, so nice after a long hard weekend. I do have to admit I never thought I would hear myself saying I was ready to go to work. I love staying home and doing craft and things and would really like to be able to just stay home so I could volunteer at church. But right now God has me working and that was good for me today. Last night when I was totally exhausted when a conversation starts.

Larry “Cindy you need to get on Facebook and look.” Me “At what I am tired and don’t want to?” Larry “Just look” Me “Alright but it better be good.” So I get up and log on and there it was the best picture of my son at 27 years of age I had ever seen of him with a smile. Don’t get me wrong when he was a baby there was no one cuter in my eyes but as he got older he never smiled. A lot of it had to do with all the dental work he had to have done and then he just never seemed to give us a big smile. But last night on Facebook there he was bigger than life with the biggest smile on his face along with his fiancée Lauren. I though wow has he been drinking or is it love? Then I see where one of his friends even commented on his smile, so me being the mother that I am I had to ask and after no response I texted him and ask still no response. Boy I though he is either drinking or doesn’t want me to let me know or he is not and mad at me for even thinking he was. So I left it alone then about 30 minutes later he calls and tells me he is taking Lauren home and then he would be home and that his phone died and he didn’t want me to worry. Yes he was using Laurens phone and yes he still lives at home to save money for when they get married and we are very close and he just likes being with us. But the mother in me had to ask while I had him on the phone what got him to smile so big and he just said “Oh mom” However deep in my heart I knew why he had the big smile and it is because he is with the girl that just makes him silly inside I believe they call that love. I am so happy for him and can’t wait for them to start with the wedding plans and being able to help when I can. Larry and I are both very happy for him like we said before and are thankful God has given him a wonderful young woman to love and take care of and she even comes with a wonderful blessing named Gavin. He is our G-man and we love them all to the moon and back.

See I told you it was a big smile

They both look so happy.

                                                                    

Well it has been awhile since my last blog but I have very busy. Along with working full time I started a business with Lauren and have been working hard on getting things bought and everything else that goes with starting a new small business. We created a company that is Event Planning specializing in Candy Buffet and the name of it is Sweet and Sassy Candy Buffet. I have done them before with one of my best friends Michelle however she is moving to Florida and so I decided I could do it on my own and Lauren my future daughter n law is going to do it with me. We have a face book page so check it out and click like of course only if you do.

We did our first one together for a baby shower that I gave for my niece Stefanie this past weekend. I do have to say it was a lot of work but turned out very nice. Now don’t get me wrong I am not total new at this I give lots of parties, showers, socials for church and did my daughter’s wedding in 6 weeks with Michelle help. Along with the Candy buffet we did a photo table of the mother to be of all her baby pictures and then the food table as well. And she is having a girl so of course I was pumped at being able to do it all in pink since that is my favorite color. I really think Stefanie was happy with it and we had a wonderful turn out and she received a lot of great gifts. Ms. Caylee should be set for a while and she is having another shower where she lives in OK so they will be in good shape.Then today I had a movie date with my future grandson Gavin and his Grandma Diana (Lauren mom). We went to see Winnie the Pooh after we convinced him that Trey would take him to see the movie Cars. See we are still kids at heart and wanted to see Pooh; Piglet and Eyore it was a great movie. So now I am just being lazy in my recliner and will be heading to bed soon so I can be ready for work this week. Hopefully this week will not be as crazy and I can rest some and I will be getting my first oil shot in my knee so praying it will help me even more. I am so ready to be back active again and not limping all the time. I hope you all have a great week and remember I love you to the moon and  back.

She said Yes

You can now call me the mother of the groom to be and yes I am as pleased as a pig in a blanket.  Trey asks Lauren Harwell to marry him on June 30, 2011 at Greystone Castle in Mingus Texas.  We are all so excited that they are together and will be getting married. We are not only lucky enough to be gaining a daughter but we are getting a 3 year old grandson name Gavin and he already calls me Nana and my heart melts. As for Larry he is still calling him Mr. Warry and not sure how or what we will get him to start calling him it will be fun to see what comes of it. He is so darn cute and just 100% all boy and we love having the time we get with him as he plays with his trucks and outside with Treys dog Abby. I am so blessed that God brought Lauren into Trey’s life and ours as she has been an angel for us since losing Melissa. I am just so happy that they did get to meet each other and I know she is smiling from Heaven along with grandpa Zingelmann and my dad as he would really like Lauren a lot and I mean a lot because she likes to hunt and fish which is something he loved along with my mom and brother. Now me forget it I don’t like either one sure glad Trey does as that will be something they can do together. However she does like to shop and everyone knows I do as well and when we get a day to shop we can tear it up and maybe spend a lot of money or none at all but you can bet we have a great time together. Her parents are wonderful as well as we have already spent Holidays together with Trey and without him and been to the boat show and other things all with Trey living in Mingus which we did miss him but now he is back here so he won't have to miss out.  So I believe it is safe to say they will have a great support system as they begin their new chapters in this life that God has given them. Not to mention all the other family and friends that they both have.  We have no clue when the big day will be due to Trey just starting his new job but I am guessing sometime next year. But I can tell you I will enjoy every minute of the wedding planning should I have the pleasure of helping plan the big day. I want to be a good mother n law but I sure hope and pray they let me help them when I can. I do know since I own my own business Sweet and Sassy Candy Buffet I am sure we will have that at the reception.

Trey and Lauren; Dad and I love you both and Gavin to the moon and back and look forward to our family getting larger.

Below are pictures that Diana and Jon (Treys friends) at GreyStone Castle took for us when  he proposed to Lauren and I thank them with all my heart.

Will you Marry Me?

The journey begins
