We had what is now being called "November Blizzard 2006" yesterday and today and I will tell ya -- it has been beautiful. I am so cheesy -- I got out and took a picture of our house in the snow...
There is a lot more snow now -- I really didnt want to get out after this pic -- WOW it's cold.
We had a great day. We opened all the blinds so that we could watch the snow fall, made fresh baked cookies, hot chocolate (loaded with marshmallows) and watched Polar Express with the kids. All the dogs had gotten baths so they were all inside and we were cuddly and warm and, well... it was perfect.
Sara, my 7 year old, spoke the same sentiment that I was feeling...
"It's days like these that I will always remember"
Yeah Sara, me too...
Hello everyone -- miss me?? I've been here, but I have been SO busy with... well with life. I am the mom of 4 girls after all.
I did however, want to take the time to update you on life here. All is well with us. Monty started a new job with OTR (Offroad Tire Recycling) and he is loving it. The great thing is that we will be transferring to another city soon so that Monty can run one of the hubs for the company. Those who must know where can email me.
If you are wondering why I dont blog as much anymore I have one word for you...
Myspace.
I know, I know -- I am one of many who have whored themselves to myspace -- but its cool because its like one big online reunion. I'm an addict -- I need a 12 step program... c'mon -- join -- everyone is doing it... LOL
So Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Duh, right? Everyone is blogging about it -- and what they are thankful for.
Well, I shall conform. Call me a follower. Go ahead.
In a season where family is the center, I have had such a blow to my life. My best friends Daddy, a man I have known, loved and sometimes feared (lol) for almost 18 years, was diagnosed with a very serious form of leukemia and has not been given a positive diagnosis. My heart has been breaking for my friend. She is my sister to me and I cannot take this pain from her, nor can I walk this walk For her. I can however walk beside her and hold her hand and cry with her and smile with her and be strong for her. I am so thankful for that -- we have a bond and I can't buy that or recreate that -- it's us, and I love her. My mind cannot drift far from she and her family though -- and what they are facing.
Of course, above and beyond all else... I am thankful for these people and what they mean to my life.
What am I saying? They ARE my life and my reason for getting up and breathing end and out every day...
Thank you God for my life and my family, for health and happiness, friends and loved ones, and for reminding us how awesome and fragile life can really be.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
