St. Patty's Day!

Usually the night before St. Patty's Day we make a trap to catch Lucky the leprechaun but we were at the Hansens for dinner and Hunter and Brielle decided to sleep over.Amanda made them green eggs and crepes and later we had a green food picnic. TJ and Hunter had their first soccer practice and Brielle followed wanting so bad to help. Then to end the night we went to dinner and bowling! It was a blast the kids thought it was so much fun and were so cute! Brielle had this little Fred Flinstone dance and would clap and dance as her ball slowly and I mean slowly rolled down. Hunter was really good and I got a strike while holding Sophie on my hip, yes I am a better bowler while double tasking! Sophie loved clapping and squealing at all of us. When we got home the kids found chocolate gold coins on their pillows from Lucky since he missed them that morning. Hunter is getting too old and was telling me it was me who did it and said he saw the coins above the fridge the little stinker! Five years ago TJ and I had our first kiss and started dating so this holiday is always special for us! Here is the story, TJ and I were really good friends for about 8 months, he was such a major part of helping me through such a difficult time. We never though of each other as more than friends even though everyone would tease us all the time. I was hoping I would meet a hot friend through him and Im pretty sure he thought the same thing. My sister was down for spring break and watched Hunter so I could go out. Ashlee, Mandy and I convinced TJ to go to bowl n beer night but his friend bailed, Ashlee was the designated driver, since we both had few beers. When we dropped him off at home I went in to go to the bathroom, I gave him a hug goodnight and we just kissed I mean KISSED! I left and then the whole way home freaked out, he was my friend but wow! From that moment on we we inseparable, a few days later he invited me to his nieces birthday party, yep a family function! We have a joke at the Bentley house now that once you come for Kathy's cooking you never leave. I am so glad my best friend became my hubby and Hunter's dad, I don't know what we would do without him! It was meant to be and everyone who was there to witness this will agree! Three months later we were engaged and three months after that married!
