My life and the people in it.

So 2008 is winding down to a close and I still cannot believe it. As I sit here and look at the clock there is just like a little over 3 hours left. You know I remember a time when I would have been worried about being out half the night. Now I am wondering if I will make it to midnight to give Henry a kiss.




So anyway I though I would tell all those closest to me that I love you dearly thank you for all you have done for me this year. Whether it was emotional support, a laugh or listening to me complain thank you I love you all









Henry we are approaching 14 years of marriage. I don't know what I would do without you sometimes. You keep me so grounded and still try to spoil me without giving yourself a stroke. I know you think you need to give better to us. You are home you work hard and you are a good dad. You have been a very supportive husband and I am blessed most of all to have a christian husband. You are stuck with me for an eternity. I love you and cannot wait to see what this new year has for us.









My two darling little angels Zack and Dylan. I cannot believe how you have grown. I cannot believe what wonderful young men you are becoming. I am so proud of the young men you are turning out to be. You have both given your life to God and that above all else is enough to make me cry every time I think of it. You are wonderful loving people and I pray you never stray from what you know you should be doing. Keep growing and becoming the unique young men you are on your to becoming. I know 2009 will be successful for both of you. I love you.Dad and Mom I love you so much. I know I have defiantly been your challenging child. I have always done anything I can to be independent and sometimes that hasn't always been the best choice. I want you to know I love you. Thank you for always loving me unconditionally. Thank you for your sense of humor and your advice and the bond we have developed as a family as a whole. Thank you for all the sacrifices and things you have done for me. I love you so much....

To my little sister Julie. We are 12 years apart and it used to always suck. But here we are 2 grown women. You are about to embark on a great journey with someone you love dearly and I am so happy for you. Part of me wants to cry every time I think about it. We have just gotten to a point we can be friends and sometimes I think the age gap is still hard. I love you very much. I will always be here for you no matter what. I will protect you no matter how long you and Benny are together. Police standing there or not.... LOL.... I hope we can grow in this year to be better friends than we ever thought possible. I love ya sis
To my wonderful Grandma.... What you have been through in your life makes me in awe of you. You are the kind of woman I want to be. You have the spirit I can only hope to have one day. I love you so much and I am so thankful you are my Grandma. I have lost one grandmother that I loved dearly and miss very much. I am thankful for everyday God has given you to us. I love you

Ok Eric you get to be in this group but I am talking to my "guineas".....

So I began ODBC 3 years ago tomorrow. 1/1... I never dreamed I would walk in and find the friends that I did. Sarah, Julie and Terena you guys are the best. I know we all have best friends elsewhere but I am thankful that you three have grown to be ladies that I can turn to for anything. You are a treasure in my life and I thank you for all you do for me and my family. Our lives have crossed for reasons that God is seeing through. Thank you for being my friends and thank you for your love.....


Tommy and Judy. I love you guys so much. I couldn't ask for better in laws. Thank you for your son thank you for your love and support. Thank you for the guidance you give Henry and I even when you think you aren't doing anything. I love you


So Ben you are about to become a member of our family. I am happy that she has you because I know you will take care of my sister. I know you make her happy and I know she loves you. As brother in laws go I think you I am thankful she found you....

So these are my out of town sisters, Jennifer, Nadya and Aleece. I love you guys and I miss you so much. You have touched my life and held a special place in my heart that no one else will ever replace.


So these are my ladies at work Dorothy, Deborah, Nancy and Cookie. They keep me straight or try to. What a horrible job.... I love you guys and as stressful as our workplace is I am thankful I have you four to muddle through the day with everyday.

God bless all of you this 2009....
