Getting ready to go bake a cake for my Mother in Laws birthday.  LOL! She's very much like a kid, so it's going to be simple and her favorite.  A Betty Crocker Cherry Chip cake mix with the matching Cherry frosting.  Never in my life had I heard of it, or ate it till I met her almost 12 years ago.  I've made alot of them since then.   I always make one for her birthday, and I know at least 3 a year (depending on her cravings). 

I'm so happy to have a Mother in Law that I get along with and can have fun with, and I can honestly say I love her.  And have from the first day I met her. I always hear horror stories (the MIL jokes, that kind of thing), and I'm thankful I know nothing about that. 

But really I think for the most part how you get along with anyone is all your own attitude, at least thats been my experience.  I'm very much a person that hates any sniff of drama, I like to get along with everyone. (But not be trampled on, if I ever come across those strife people I just stay back and not get brought into that realm). 

Glad I have a Husband that is the same way.   We had many brushes with drama in the past several years (within his family and mine) and we've managed to stay quietly and safely far from it.  Life's to short to get caught up in that nonsense, DH and I have a good and quiet life together.  I enjoy every happy day. Each day I've been thinking of the many things I'm thankful for about the great man I have, I guess because next Sunday will be our 7 year wedding anniversary.  We will have been together 12 years including the dating years this Aug. 24.  Doesn't seem that long.  But wow oh wow a lot of things have happened in those years.  A few bad, a whole lot great, with it all it's brought us where we are today.  And I wouldn't change a thing.

SO hug your Mother In Law today  (If you dare! )   Thank her for the wonderful son that is now your husband.   And definately hug your husband, and a take a stroll back through your past together and think of the things you  can be thankful for where you are now.  Through the good and bad, it's made you the couple you are today.   I'm happy to say that I'm happy with the couple we've become. And I wish the same for every couple out there!

Have a great and blessed day!

Hugs, Kat
