My Family



This was taken at my dad and Sherry's wedding last year... they just celebrated their one year anniversary! and are just an absolutely adorable couple!!!! I love them so very much... So anyways from left to right... is Rachael (the sister I grew up with) Me, my Daddy, Sherry, Emily in front of her ( I'm now an aunt!) Patti, and Laurie (emily's mom and one of my favorite people to talk to!) Our family is actually two people bigger, my sisters husband Larry who is a really great guy! and my hubby Rich who is just an amazing husband who makes me smile just thinking about him! I feel so very lucky to get along so well with the new members of my family you hear so many stories of just no one getting along... but my *other* mom is just so wonderful and so sweet and is funny about not wanting to step on any toes that you can't help but love her.... and her and I can go and do things and it's FUN! and laurie and I talk every couple of weeks and I send Emily little things as often as I can....Patti is a little harder I talked to her at the wedding and really haven't talked to her since but she was very nice at the wedding.....

(**oh we finally got our printer to work... LoL my parents gave us they're 2 month old printer because they wanted a the all in one printer scanner copier so I brought it over and then forgot about the software so two weeks later I finally remember it and copy it from they're computer and now rich is a very happy man! me too!**)

Tuesday morning musings


this is a picture of me when I was just several weeks old, my mommy holding me, my maternal grandmother and then my great grandmother who I'm told NEVER smiled.... I've been having major missing my mommy moments lately.... could be i just had my birthday... could be that my dad and *other*mom just celebrated their one year anniversary it could be a number of reasons. all I know is that I miss her, I miss her advice, I miss her wacked out sense of humor, I miss her hugs, I miss her scratching my back (sounds goofy but Rach knows what I'm talking about) I miss so many things about her.... I do NOT miss the many trips to the hospital, the constant pain she was in, the confusion she would sometimes find herself in.... Mercy Me wrote a great song called homesick and I just get chills when I listen to it.... I'm gonna find the 4x6 picture that was taken the sunday before she died.... she looks so happy and so serene..... I just need to keep that in mind.....
I just needed to get that off my chest....
