In a world where there's much to be depressed and stressed about, there is also much to be happy and thankful for. My hubby and I have started watching The Big Bang Theory and we love it! It makes a lot of references to Star Trek, which I don't know anything about aside from the main characters are Spock and James T. Kirk, however, the show also has funny, quirky, lovable, and relatable characters. So I've decided that every day for a month I'd share something that makes me happy. Today it's The Big Bang Theory and the lyrics that Howard sings to Bernadette.
If I didn't have you life would be blue,
I'd be Doctor Who without the Tardis,
A candle without a wick,
A Watson without a Crick,
I'd be one of my outfits without a dick-ey,
I'd be cheese without the Mac,
[Steve] Jobs without the Wozniak,
I'd be solving exponential equations that use bases not found on your calculator,
Making it much harder to crack.
I'd be an atom without a bomb,
A dot without the com,
And I'd probably still live with my mom,
(All echo: and he'd probably still live with his mom)
Ever since I met you you turned my world around,
You've supported all my dreams and all my hopes,
You're like Uranium-235 and I'm Uranium-238,
Almost inseparable isotopes.
I couldn't have imagined how good my life would get,
From the moment that I met you, Bernadette
If I didn't have you life would be dreary,
I'd be string theory without any string,
I'd be a binary code without a one,
A cathode ray tube without an electron gun,
I'd be 'Firefly', 'Buffy', and 'Avengers' without Joss Whedon,
I'd speak a lot more Klingon
[Speaks Klingon]
All: And he'd definitely still live with his mom
Ever since I met you you've turned my world around,
You're my best friend and my lover,
We're like changing electric and magnetic fields;
You can't have one without the other
I couldn't have imagined how good my life would get,
From the moment that I met you, Bernadette
All: Oh, we couldn't have imagined how good our lives would get,
From the moment that we met you, Bernadette
I chose this show because it's one that Jim and I enjoy to watch together and I love the song because I'm a hopeless romantic. I hope that everyone has something that makes them laugh in this crazy, chaotic, wonderful world ❤

Happy Belated Birthday
I know I'm way late writing something for my husband's birthday, but I told myself I wouldn't write anything. We celebrated with family and friends, adults only, because the kids went to Hayley's birthday party. We watched Deadpool, played old NES games and his new X-Men game, had birthday cake, and then launched fireworks. It really was a lot of fun! Much more than I expected.
I really didn't get him anything for his birthday. I felt bad but I did get him a few gifts for Father's Day. Jim really appreciates the thought but doesn't need presents to know I love him. He knows this as we express it freely daily, weekly, and whenever we can.
He calls on his way home to tell me, to talk about our days, and to say "I love you". We say it before going to sleep and when we wake up in the morning. I am very touchy feely and I love that he is too. He never pushes me off or gets annoyed. He just pulls me closer to him and welcomes it.
We talk about anything and everything. He knows of my past, all aspects of it, and how I come with baggage but he not only accepts it, he tries his best to understand it, and be there for me.
There's not enough words to express how grateful I am for my husband, my best friend, my soulmate. He is everything to me and infinitely more. So I decided to break my promise to myself and write a blog for my husband to remind him how much he means to me. How happy I am to have him in my life! To have him sleep by my side at night and raise our children together! He is everything and more that I have ever looked for in a husband! I love you, Jim ❤ You and the boys are the pieces to my heart! Thank you for being you and for never giving up on me! For always fighting for us and for wanting to be the father of our kids ❤ I love you so much!
I heard a quote from A Walk to Remember that came from the bible and I want to share it with you; "Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes." Call me a hopeless romantic but when I heard this quote I thought of us. We don't put one another down, we build each other up, we comfort one another, and if the other makes a mistake we try to understand instead of ridicule. Our love really is one from a fairy tale. You are everything I love and proud of ❤ Thank you for being mine ❤ I hope we have many more years together and many more birthdays and holidays to celebrate together! ❤ I love you, Jim ❤

Happy Belated Father's Day
I know I'm late but I want to say Happy Father's Day to my two favorite dads! They are everything to me!
"Dadda" was my first word, my first love, and forever the yardstick I measured my future boyfriends against. See I always knew my dad's love was unconditional and I loved how he talked to my siblings and I. He treated us all like we were his favorite, he still does. He never forgets a birthday, an anniversary, and never misses a recital or a baptism. He baptized each of my siblings, including myself, he baptized all his grandchildren, except Kevin; and he has always managed to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads. He does what's needed to make his children and grandchildren safe. In a world where morals and standards are disappearing I'm grateful for Ronald Erwin Fish. He has taught me everything that I needed to know to look for in a respectable husband and I'm grateful for that as well as his unconditional love, support, talks, prayers, and late ice cream runs; and breakfast runs after my blood work at Lab Corp.
Jim, the first day I met you I was in awe at how easy it was to talk to you. Usually I'm socially awkward and I don't make friends easily because no one can follow my train of thought but our trains have always been on the same track. You have never talked down to me or made me feel anything less than perfect. After 7 years of being together you still make me feel very loved and like I'm the luckiest woman in the world. You still read my mind, we finish each others sentences, and long for the end of the day when we're all home together; when we can watch movies, play games, and just enjoy each other's company.
I love you for everything that you are and for everything that you do for our boys. I appreciate your hard work so that we can have food on our table, pay bills, and live in a nice house. I appreciate you so much and so does Kevin and James. You have always been there for them! Whether it be paying for something, taking us to Disney, making dinner, seeing Kevin through a meltdown, or surprising Kevin at his Spring Performance! I know he loves and appreciates you too! Thank you for your unconditional love and support for not only me but also my son! I know it hasn't always been easy but I want you to know that we appreciate you and we love you more than we could ever put into words. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I'm so grateful to be your wife! I hope you had a great Father's Day! And I hope you did too, Daddo! I love you both very much!

For My Mom on Mother's Day
With another Mother's Day passed I can't help but feel grateful for my mom, a mom to celebrate. I read blogs about women who didn't or don't have a good relationship with their mother or perhaps their mother is dead to them. How blessed I am to have Terri Angela Fish as my mother!
She never chose a man over her kids, she never had a drug addiction, and she chose a good man to be her husband and the father of her children!
As I got older I learned that her childhood was similar to mine; we both had a traumatic experience in our youth, and when my mom learned of mine she didn't tell me I was lying, she didn't make an excuse for the pervert, instead she put me in counseling and gave me the best advice that she could.
She parented the only way she knew how. To be a helicopter-mom. Some might look down on her for that, but my siblings and I knew that she always was in our corner. When we were being bullied she did whatever she could so that we'd be safe, when we were having an unfair discipline at school she was in our corner helping us fight our battle!
Not to say her kids were perfect and that we were never disciplined. When we messed up we definitely knew it! She'd tell us and we'd be grounded. She knew what her kids liked and how to punish us; for me it was my music so when I messed up she took my music away. Her kids were challenging! I am the youngest of four and I was rebellious. I didn't want to attend church on Sunday, I snuck out of the house, I had my tongue pierced by a friend in high school... Things I knew she disapproved of. I know I was the cause for sleepless nights and quite a few gray hairs on my mother's head... However, she still loved her only brown haired, brown eyed daughter unconditionally, and saw her potential even when I couldn't see it.
She never squashed our dreams or told us that our dreams were out of reach. She did her best at reminding us of what our strengths were and that she loved us.
I know I was not an easy kid but I am so grateful that she never gave up on me! It's because of her that I know what kind of mom I want to be! Now her love goes beyond her children and extends to her grandchildren!
I love you, mom! I'm so grateful for everything you've done for our family and everything you continue to do for us as well! You are one of the most selfless mothers I know and I'm so grateful you're mine ❤ I love you ❤ I wish we were rich so I could've spoiled you for Mother's Day and every day like you deserve ❤ Happy Mother's Day ❤

Our Baby James ❤
Looking back to his day of arrival...
As you can see his first day was quite emotional. Jim had to record our baby on his phone then bring it to me so I could see him, but I still ached to hold my baby. When they brought him to me I only got to hold him for about 15 minutes :(

| Ready to go home ❤ |

| So after a long emotional roller coaster we took our baby home 3 days later |
We love our little guy and are so thankful he's a part of our family ❤ He's such a happy, outgoing, lovable little guy!
For his birthday we went to Pappa's Pizza with the neighbors. Then on Saturday we had a cookout with our family and neighbors. We had such a good turn out and everyone got along and had fun.
Hard to believe our little guy is 3! He loves Thomas the Train, Curious George, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and Clifford's Puppy Days. He still loves water too so we're going to see about putting him in swimming classes. He hasn't had his 3rd year checkup yet, but he wears size 4 clothes! He's definitely tall for his age, so we'll see who will be the "bigger" brother.

| James and his Birthday Donut |
 |
| He loves trains |

| He loves playing with the kitties |
We love you, James❤ Happy Birthday, little dude ❤

Raising Awareness for Sex/Human Trafficking
On April 20th Kennedy, my niece, and her dance team raised awareness for sex/human trafficking. It's such a scary topic as this happens more than we'd like to admit and can happen so quickly! It's just not being kidnapped but also making friends with the wrong people. The dancers did a beautiful job as they danced to raise awareness for such an ugly problem that continues to get worse. Please watch the video and feel free to share it with friends and family to help continue to raise awareness for an ongoing problem that's going on all over the world.
