Daddy out of town, kiddo in daycare, a day off of work and memorial day sales…
I never, ever get a chance to go “shop” anymore. Today, I spent the entire day alone at the mall. I’m not going to lie, It was great to spoil myself to a new, spring wardrobe with clothes from somewhere other than Target.
Now, if I could only talk Jeremy into letting me do it every season…
Quinn just finished her dinner, handed me her empty plate and said,
“Here you go. Wash it!”
Ummmm…
This guy…
Not only is this guy incredibly handsome, ridiculously funny, strong, smart, an amazing father, a good provider for his family, an inspiring teacher, and the world’s most loving, sweet, caring and sensitive husband, he is also officially, as of yesterday, a tenured professor.
Words can not express how insanely happy and proud - so, soooo proud - I am of this man. It’s been a rough road to get to this point with a lot of ups and downs over the past 13 years, but he never gave up. He works so hard and is just really good at what he does.
It’s a great thing in life if you can choose a partner who inspires you to do good things, work harder and to be a better person every day of your life. I have found that in this one. I am honored to call him my husband and so happy to have such a wonderful inspiration in my daughter’s life.
I love you Jeremy. Thank you for letting Quinn and I read your tenure letter to you over Skype last night. It was our honor to be the ones to give you this exceptional news. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to celebrate with you in Florida next week.
Looks like it’s just you and me kid, for 6 whole days, while dad is in Seattle for a conference. We’ll miss him.
Solo-parenting for six whole days, woohoo! I’m exhausted just thinking about it. Be good to me, Quinn. Just stay this cute and everything will be ok.

Cheeky.
It’s been 22 years, but it feels like yesterday. We still miss you, Jim.

Her dad surprised her with a Mickey Mouse doll yesterday. And now her life is complete.

Today was pretty amazing for many reasons. I had a wonderful mother’s day; I’m seriously such a lucky girl.
For now, I’ll leave you with photos of our Mother’s Day tradition - photos in front of Quinny’s tree.
I hope all you muthas out there had a wonderful day. And happy Mother’s Day to two of the most beautiful women I know-Diane H. and Andi J. I love you ladies.
