Welcome 2012

This is our hope for the new year.....2011 held a lot of tears and frustration for us. When welcoming in the new year we said " 2012...if you aren't going to be better than 2011...then don't bother"

Not to say that all of 2011 was a bad year.

It had some good moments

I started Grad School

Ryan was welcomed back to Cofiroute after leaving for a start up

We had a lot of time together with the family

We started attending RockHarbor Orange and love our family there

I got involved with Young Life again

We had good health

We had a roof over our heads and food on the table

We were not in want of anything.....God's provision was enough.

Its still hard not to look back on 2011 and say....good bye...see ya later!

Here is to moving on and moving forward!

May 2012 be the BEST year!

I had really hoped to write and publish before Christmas was over..but here it is January 5 and I am finally posting! I hope and pray that your Christmas was a time for family, fun and memories!
These are just a few of the items on our tree.....we have a very eclectic tree....and almost every ornament holds a story!

My mom

My mom is the most important woman in my life. She was my best friend and someone I could tell anything to, that is until her mind become riddled with Alzheimer's. I love my mom dearly and there isnt anything I wouldnt do for her. It kills me to see her in the stage that she is in. She doesnt recognize me any longer. She can no longer communicate. She has a caregiver 24/7..someone to feed her, change her, bath her .....

I would give anything to have MY mom back...anything! But I know that isnt God's plan. Until that time he calls her home I will visit with her, bring her mochas and pray for her.

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
