Hi, I'm Teresa. Welcome to my blog! I thought it would be so fun to join the Ultimate Blog Party from 5 Minutes for Mom. You should join in, too!Here are some things about me...
1. I have been married to the greatest husband in the world for 37 years.
2. I have a son 35, and a daughter 28 and I am so thankful that they love and honor their parents, but am equally proud that they adore each other.
3. The best job I have ever had is "Grammy"! Hands down...I love it! I am Grammy to Parker, Austin, Jack and new little man arriving in June.
4. My husband was the high school football coach when I was a cheerleader. I am 10 years younger than him. My kids love to hear that story. Hey, its lasted 37 years. Another post for another day.
5. Disney World is my favorite place on earth, especially with the grandkids. Nothing compares!
6. Parker is 9 and we have taken him to Disney World and Disneyland 7 times. Grandparents will travel. Those trips are some of the sweetest days of my life.
7. I have decorated homes for Christmas for the past 17 years. I just did a quick calculation and I have probably decorated at least 1200 Christmas trees in my life.
8. Dancing With The Stars is my very favorite TV show! With American Idol a close second.
9. I am a HUGE BRETT FARVE fan! I love football and actually feel depressed each year, as the season comes to an end. I cannot imagine football without Brett.
10. I think massages are about as close to heaven as we get on this earth. I try to have one every week. And tomorrow I have an all day spa day from my husband...my favorite Valentine gift!
That's plenty to start with with. Probably each of those will lead to a post in the future. Thank you to all the new friends that have stopped by my blog. I am a new blogger and in the blogs below,
I am in the process of introducing my family blog by blog. I hope you enjoy meeting them.
These are the prizes I like: #5, #11, #19, #22, #41, #100, #116, #118, #89, and #37
PLEASE take time and sign up for my very FIRST blog giveaway HERE!

Nice to meet you (and your family). You are a blessed lady.
I love to decorate MY trees, but I can't imagine helping others (ha). We sell Christmas trees, so I usually have my fill before Dec. 25th rolls around.
I hope you'll come visit me.
Blessings!

Nice to meet you. Just stopping by UBP hopping.
Hi... it is nice to see Grandma's on here... what a great job Grandma's do... nothing beats the love of a Grandma and I am sure your Grandkids adore you...
It was nice meeting you... take care... and happy parties...
I've never met someone who decorates homes for Christmas before. I would LOVE doing that!! I always get in the spirit and go a little crazy around my house, it'd be better to spread it around lol.
It's nice to meet you, I hope to chat soon! :)
I see we share the same interest in some sites. Great Site!
Happy UBP'ing.
Have a great weekend.
Debbie
Wow, nice to meet ya. One of my best friends loves Disney too! She even has a large Mickey Tatoo in honor of the mouse. Enjoy the party and again-very nice to meet ya.
Beautiful grandchildren! Loved getting to know you!
It's refreshing to read about long term married couples.
Loved the photos of the family.
Oh, and what a cool job!
Enjoy the party!
It's another brisk windy day in Vegas!
Hi - I'm here from the Ultimate Blog Party. My party post won't be up until Tuesday, since I only stumbled upon this amazing event about two hours ago.
Nice to meet you and I also love your Christmas tree decorating job. Talk about fun! I'm a Christmas fan - can never get enough.
Nice to meet you Teresa! I am a massage lover too and get one every two weeks. It helps my fibromyalgia like nothing else.
We love Disney too. I wish my kids' grandparents could take them often. (Would you like to be our surrogate grandparents? A child can never have too many grandparents! LOL) Swing by my party so you can meet the new grandkids.
Nice to meet you, you sound like a very fun grammy! Little boys are the best but I would know any different since I have 3 of them and no girls as far as the eye can see! Happy blogging :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You aren't kidding we seem to have a few things in common. When we get back from vacation, I'll stop by for a nice, long visit.
So nice to meet you! Oh, how a stop over at the spa tomorrow sounds delightful. Enjoy!
I too am having a ball with my "Little Man" the grandson. As anyone can see from my blog, he is a regular "star" there. I see him more than I do the 11 yr old daughter some days. And so much more fun...he doesn't agrue with me, and I can send him home.
Hey Teresa;
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I too LUV Disney World. It's one place you can go and feel like a child again.
We have sooooo much in common....I too have been married to a wonderful man for 37 years, have three grandsons and think a massage one of the closest things to heaven.
Come back by anythime. For now I'm going to read the rest of your posts. Have a FABUBOUS week!
lovely post! And I am Teresa too
making my rounds
Sorry - I just tried to leave a comment on My Girl and I think I left it on this post instead.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you've enjoyed the blog party.
Blogging is the best isn't it?
What a fantastic job! I didn't even know there was such a thing! Thanks for dropping by Notes From the Cookie Jar, it was nice to see you. We are American Idol fans in this house as well...never miss a week! :) Have fun blog partying!
Hi! Nice to meet you! : ) Your blog is awesome! Loved reading all about you and your family! Have a blessed day! : )
Nice to meet you! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I bet decorating other people's trees for Christmas is both fun and stressful. Do you participate in Boo Mama's Christmas tour of homes each year?
Teresa,
I love your blog lay out with the big polka dots!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Your grandchildren are adorable.
Happy UBParty!
Hi Teresa
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've only got one grandbaby, but she is a lot of fun, she is 4 months younger than our youngest & they are finally starting to play really well together.
Your grandkids are adorable!!!
Nice to meet you Teresa! Thanks for stopping by my blog - we're taking Jessica, our oldest, to Disney for her next birthday (5!!) in Jan - we already told her about it and now all she wants to do is wake up and be 5. haha. My husbands grandparents spend their winters in FL so we'll be doing double duty and spending time with them too - they're so special to us.
You sound like a very special Grammy!

What a beautiful family you have- my children are still young and I hope I can watch them grow up as you have yours :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Disney world is also one of my favorite places and I was also a cheerleader in high school :)
Thank you for stopping by my party. We have lots in common - I love Dancing w/Stars, I love massages and football (but I'm a big NY Giant fan).
It was nice to get to know you.
Nice to meet you, thank you for stopping by my blog!! Congrats on the upcoming arrival of your newest grandchild!!
Great intro you have! Nice to meet you and thanks for popping over to my blog party. Hope you are enjoying the party hopping!
Hey Teresa, thanks for stopping by my blog! That's so cool that you are into Christmas decorations. I'm into collecting ornaments that are about the Bible or Bible stories. My mom has a whole tree of those kinds of ornaments! Kinda fun. :) Have a great day and enjoy the party!
Nice to meet you. Thank you for visiting my blog. Yours looks really nice.
Wow, congratulations on the 37 years with coach hubby! ^_^ That's so nice. I LOVE to hear/read success stories!!!
That's a LOT of trees! I'm sure you love it, though, or you wouldn't keep on keepin on with it, right!
It's so nice to meet new bloggers like you! UBP is neat.
Hi Teresa,
Thanks for stopping by my place during UBParty 2009. I love finding new blogs to visit.
Your grandchildren are adorable and I have to agree with you about massages though I rarely have time for them since I'm a SAHM to a 20 month old.
I can't wait to hear the story about the cheerleader and the football coach. That one sounds juicy.
-Abby

I love being a Grammy too!
It is nice to meet you.
just stopping by for a quick hi before i crash for the night.
What a nice blog!! Thanks for stopping by mine...couples like you and your hubby are inspiration to me and mine (11 yrs and counting) Have a great week!
Welcome to the blog party. Thanks for stopping by at my place and for your comment. This party stuff is a lot of fun!
And you can decorate my tree for me anytime - I don't have much of a creative side to me so I could use all the help I can get!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! It was nice meeting you! I hope you are having a wonderful time at the party! :-)
Hi, I dropped by after you stopped off to say hi at mine.

Thanks for stopping by my site. I enjoyed browsing your blog and getting to know you and your family. Enjoy the party.
Thanks for popping in on my site! And my momma is a "Grammy," too. Women who are called Grammy are totally awesome - it even makes up for being a Brett Favre fan. :)
So nice to meet you. :)
Hi Teresa!
Thank you for stopping by my blog! You sound like a wonderful "Grammy!"
I hope you enjoy the UBP!
thanks for stopping by my blog!! it's great to meet you! i LOVE that you like amy grant too :) and what a fantastic occupation you have!! i might just have to start blog stalkin' ya! ;) take care, tracy
You are a busy Grammy! And decorating Christmas trees must be a fun business! Hmm. Maybe I could do that, and live vicariously through others' trees since my tree is always "kid decorated" and "redecorated".

We've been married 37 years as well. Only two grandkids here though. I am loving finding new sites through the UBP.
Oh, I completely agree about the massages. I, too, get one weekly (fibromyalgia) and it is such a lifesaver! Disney is awesome, too. Enjoy the party!
btw i just noticed crown laid down on your blog list, i know her! this really is a small world after all!
Isn't being a Gamma the BEST? Mine is 2 years old and when I see her my life lights up.....she is such a joy. I love being a grandma.
Wanted to pop over and say have a great week partying!!!

Nice to meet you Teresa! My mom has decorated Christmas trees for like 20 years now! :) I know a little from her teaching. I think it is amazing you have taken the grandkids on so many trips to Disney, how sweet!
My husband and I are 14 years apart and we are perfect together! :)

Hi Teresa! So nice to meet you and your family. Party hopping hippie grandma here in Colorado who is trying to restore an 1880 Victorian Stone Farmhouse with hubby. Participating too so stop in for a visit.
Hi Teresa, you had me at 1200 Christmas trees! I'm new to blogging also.
How cool is this...I'm your 100th comment!!
Teresa it is a pleasure to meet you! You have such a beautiful family and your grandbabies are just precious. I completely agree...massages are the best!
Ive enjoyed getting to know you. Your grandkids are adorable!
Can you come decorate my house for Christmas..I like to think I am good at it, but when I am done, i don't like it. and it ends up looking the same year after year.
I look forward to getting to know you.
Hi Teresa! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love your pictures...your grandchildren are precious.
You sound so much like my mother in law, who loves Disney (and has been there many times and can't wait to take her grandkids) and also loves Dancing with the Stars.
Nice to have met you, and you have a charming little blog. Happy partying!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I think your gift boxes are a great idea!! Nice to meet ya.
Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. Your site looks great and I was very moved by the story of your daughter and her unplanned pregnancy. Kuddos for your family supporting her!
Hello Teresa. It's nice to meet you. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Welcome to the blogging world. You certainly are off to a fantastic start. Your blog is already addictive. It will be very nice to get to know you and your family. I'm also looking forward to lots of Christmas stories and decorating tips/ideas/photos/etc. Thank you for the chance to win your lovely card box. Great idea.
Thanks for stopping by my party! I hope you'll visit again soon! I'm new to the blogging world and am really enjoying meeting other bloggers (mom's specifically)...the post about your daughter almost brought me to tears, you're a truly amazing mother!
Hi, thanks for visiting my blog! Nice to meet you. You sound like a sweet mama.

I enjoyed reading all about you and your family! I'm glad you decided to start blogging after reading them for so long.
I have to agree with you about Disney World. I am a Disney nut. We have a son who is disabled and absolutely loves DW, so all our vacations end up there. I think we have been there about 15 times. I found your blog through my friend Cindy, at Letters from Midlife. I have enjoyed learning a bit about you.
hey - stopping by from the Blog party...
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 32 years. And we just had our second grandbaby last month...They really are as grand as every one has always told us huh?
Sweet blessings

Just stopping by the party. Love your intro post and what cute grand kids! We are hoping to make our first trip to Disney within 5 years. Brett Favre is an icon here in Mississippi. Do you think he will actually stay retired this time?

I posted my not-so-romantic engagement story here: http://2under2whew.blogspot.com/2009/03/here-put-this-on.htmlCan't wait to read yours!
Terrific to "meet" you! I love DWTS as well...so sad to see Maks go!!! LOL!

Nice to meet you, Teresa! I loved reading more about you...and now I really want to hear the story about how you and your husband fell in love. It sounds intriguing (and a bit scandalous). :)
Your grandsons are handsome boys. I bet they love having you as a grandma.
And I'm a huge fan of Disney as well. We're already planning a trip to Disneyland as soon as our youngest daughter is a little older (she's only 2 weeks old right now...).
It sounds like you have a wonderful life, and you must be a very talented decorator! Wow. 1200 trees. Decorating them would be fun - taking them down and packing away - eh, not so much. :0)
