Good morning, Y?all!

rn

 

rn

It?s cloudy this morning, but not really gloomy looking.  The wind is blowing and it?s a bit cooler than this time yesterday.

rn

 

rn

Yesterday afternoon I was sick to my stomach.  I happened to glance in the mirror and noticed the stone missing from one of the opal earrings Micheal gave me for Christmas.  I took them out and noticed the stone was chipped in the other!!  Talk about pi$$ed!!  It literally made me sick to my stomach!  I?m always so careful with them?I?ve never dropped them and I always take them out before showering.  I know they were both ok when we left the motel in Manteca Monday morning.  I?d taken them out and laid them on the vanity while I showered, then looked at them in the mirror after I put them back in.  I never paid any attention since then, til yesterday.  I spent the rest of the day searching this entire apartment for the stone, but it?s not here.  I guess it?s somewhere between here and California.

rn

 

rn

I hated telling Micheal about the earrings, but he was ok with it.  He said it happens and that they?re only jewelry, so we?ll take them to Kay?s and either get them fixed or replaced.  And we?ll get the necklace checked at the same time.  Still makes me sick, though.

rn

 

rn

I think I finally have myself rehydrated.  I drank 5 plus 16.9 oz bottles of water yesterday.  I can always tell when I?m dehydrated cuz my left ankle swells.  It?s not swollen this morning.

rn

 

rn

Tomorrow will be my nails and shopping day.  I?m gonna have to give my nail girl a really good tip.  My appointment was originally for yesterday, but I was so tired, I was gonna cancel?but I forgot about calling til later.  I did call her and apologize for not showing or calling and rescheduled for tomorrow, so I?ll have to show her I appreciate her more than to just blow her off.

rn

 

rn

Well, that?s about it for today.  Nothing much going on right now.  Oh, I did post a pic of my granddaughter from her dance recital.  They did an 80?s theme, and she was a doll!  Wish I could have seen the real thing, but at least I got to see the video.

rn

 

rn

I?m off to read some blogs.

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!

rn

 

Good morning, Y?all!!

rn

 

rn

What a weekend!  Micheal got home at 11:30 last Wednesday and we headed for the airport.  Got to the motel at 3:00 a.m. Thursday and slept til about 9, then we were up and running.  Went shopping for a while, went to see Mom, then went to Melissa?s (our daughter) for dinner.  Spent the day Friday with Melissa, shopping for the picnic, graduation Friday evening, then dinner with the whole family at Applebee?s afterward (6 adults and 5 kids).  It was 11:00 before we left the restaurant!!

rn

 

rn

Most of Saturday was spent at the park.  The grandkids had a great time.  They were having a blast playing in the water jets then running over and shaking water on Granny!  I?d grab them and give them a big hug and let them know that I didn?t care if they got me wet?I?d take wet as long as I got the hugs, too!!!  They thought that was so funny!

rn

 

rn

Mom picked Grandpa up the middle of the morning, while we were at the park.  He?s 89 and nearly blind.  Mom pulled into the parking lot and stopped at the sidewalk to let him out so I headed over there to help him.  Mom told me later that when I was still about a half block away from the car, grandpa asked her if that was me walking toward them!  He told her I was one of the best things that ever happened to Micheal and to the whole family!  Talk about a sweetheart!!!  And Micheal?s brother and sister-in-law even showed up to see us.  That was highly unusual!

rn

 

rn

Sunday morning we got up and took Grandpa, Mom and Micheal?s brother, Mark to breakfast.  Then we took Melissa shopping for clothes and shoes for a graduation present.  She got upset when she found out we went to breakfast without inviting them, but we wanted to spend some time with Grandpa without all the noise and confusion of having six grandkids at the table.

rn

 

rn

When we got back to Melissa?s, we wanted to spend time visiting with her, KC (her husband), and the grandkids.  KC was watching a race, but instead of turning it off (or at least turning it down) he had one of the kids turn the TV UP!!  Melissa turned it down so we could talk, and he got mad and turned it back up, so I got mad, too.  I got up and told Micheal that we?re leaving since we couldn?t compete with the TV.

rn

 

rn

We heard later that KC got a real reaming after we left!!!  Melissa said, before we got there, KC had asked her why Micheal didn?t like him.  She told him after we left that day that THAT was the reason Micheal didn?t like him.

rn

 

rn

Sunday night Micheal?s mom took us out to dinner.  We checked out of the motel Monday morning, then we all met at Melissa?s to watch videos of the kids (and by the way, KC was very attentive and considerate of us while we were there).  After that we went to lunch with Mom and Mark, then headed to Sacramento.  Our flight out was at 6 am yesterday morning, so we spent the night at the airport hotel instead of driving in so early.  It was about a block walk from the hotel to the gate, so that worked out really well!

rn

 

rn

The flight home was an adventure in itself.  We had one stop at Dallas/Fort Worth that was supposed to be just long enough to unload then reload the plane, so we didn?t even get off.  After the plane reloaded, we sat there for half an hour because of a mechanical problem.  They ended up taking that plane out of commission and bringing in another one, so we had to get off the plane and wait in the gate area while they tried to find another plane.  It turned into a 2 hour layover.  We finally got home at 9:00 last night.  6 am California time to 9 pm our time?that was a long tiring trip.  We got home and ordered a pizza for dinner.  We hadn?t eaten since 6:00 the night before and we were starved, but didn?t want to stop anywhere to eat.  We just wanted to get home.

rn

 

rn

Oh, and when we got to Boston, Micheal went to get our luggage, and one of our bags was missing.  So he had to go on a search for it.  It seems that an airport employee was standing there at the backside of the drop on the carousel, and any bags that got to that point without being taken, he was taking them off and putting them on a cart, then took them to a roped-off area.  He wasn?t even letting them make a second round and give people a chance to grab them.  So we ended up missing our bus to the lot where we had the truck parked and had to wait half an hour for another one.

rn

 

rn

And talk about dehydration!!!  I drank a lot of water over the weekend, but yesterday I had one bottle of water all day.  I?ve been guzzling it ever since we got home!

rn

 

rn

There was a lot of drama over the weekend?what?s time spent with family without it, but we handled it?and I should say except for walking out at Melissa?s after KC and the TV, we handled it all in a very adult manner!!

rn

 

rn

So that was our weekend.  I didn?t watch what I ate too much, but we didn?t eat regularly, either.  We only managed one or two meals a day.  My weight was up 7 lbs this morning, but that?s probably because of not having enough water.  Our one indulgence was cappuccino every morning.  There?s this quick shop there in Manteca that has the best French Vanilla cappuccino ? thick & creamy ? but it?s fat-free!!  We had at least one 24 oz cup every morning?and a couple of times we had 2!

rn

 

rn

And we found our favorite cheese ? Tillamook cheddar ? the best cheddar you can find.  We brought home 4 - 2 lb blocks of it!  And it survived the plane trip just fine!

rn

 

rn

Now I?m gonna go read a few blogs and try to catch up on everybody.  Then I?m gonna spend the day resting.  I?m still pooped!!!

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!!

rn

 

Good morning, Y?all!

rn

 

rn

Well, I have everything packed and I?m waiting for Micheal to get home so we can head out.  He?s gonna try to get away from work by 11:00, but will leave at noon, latest.  Our flight isn?t til 4:00, but it?s 1 ? to 2 hours from here to the airport, depending on traffic and you never know how long it will take getting through security and all?after all, it is Logan Airport.  We already have our boarding passes, so that helps.  We?ll have a 2 1/2 hour layover in Dallas/Ft. Worth and we?ll be at the hotel in California by about 1:30 tomorrow morning.

rn

 

rn

We?ll spend tomorrow morning sleeping, and then either go shopping or spend some time in the pool.  We?re definitely gonna spend some time in the pool Friday.  Micheal?s daughter is gonna come join us.

rn

 

rn

Micheal talked to his mom and daughter last night.  Their plans for the weekend are still all a bit out there, but they?ve dialed them back some.  At least Micheal?s ex isn?t going to be invited!  Micheal told them last night that if we didn?t like what they had planned, we were gonna go do our own thing!!  Yea Micheal!!!!!!

rn

 

rn

So today is gonna be a total travel day, as will next Tuesday.  And don?t expect to hear from me before next Wednesday.  We?ll have the laptop, but I doubt there will be much time to get on it except to check messages.

rn

 

rn

And I want to thank you all for your support concerning my daughter.  I feel so much better since I made that decision, and the positive feedback really helps.

rn

 

rn

Well, just finished a bowl of cottage cheese and pineapple.  Now I?m gonna go read some blogs and then finish packing.

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous weekend!!!!

rn

 

Good morning, Y?all!

rn

 

rn

Looks like it?s gonna be a beautiful day here today!  The sun was shining yesterday, but it was windy and a bit on the chilly side?too chilly to sit outside.  This morning the temp is already above yesterday?s high, so it looks like I?ll be able to spend some time on the balcony this afternoon.

rn

 

rn

We?re looking forward to our trip?and don?t expect me to blog or comment on blogs between tomorrow afternoon and next Wednesday.  Micheal?s taking his laptop, but I doubt if there will be much time to use it?I?ll have more, ummm, important things to do, like spending time with my grandkids!!  Sorry gang?the grandkids trump BuddySlim!

rn

 

rn

I made a big decision yesterday.  I?d been thinking about it quite a bit, and when my son called yesterday, I made my final decision.  I asked him if he?d heard from his sister and he said no.  Then I told him I wouldn?t be asking him about her anymore.

rn

 

rn

The decision I made was to let go of my daughter.  Nova has clearly made her decision.  She still calls her step-mother ?mom? and me ?Mary?.  She had to be forced to see me when we went to Arkansas last month.  She made no effort to contact me on Mother?s Day?no call, no card, nothing (and not for the past 4-5 years, either).  Nor does she acknowledge my birthday, although I always send her cards for both.  So, if that?s the way she wants it (which she obviously does), she can consider Linda her mother.

rn

 

rn

Is this being harsh, cruel, heartless?  Maybe to some people.  And I know some of you are thinking??You can?t just drop her from your life, she?s your daughter?what about the grandkids.?  What about the grandkids?  It will be so much easier for me to let them go now, since I?ve been allowed so little contact with them, than to get really attached and have them yanked from me.  I hardly know them now as it is.  

rn

 

rn

But for my own sanity, this is something that I have to do.  I?ve stressed myself out way too much over my daughter.  Until you?ve been here, you wouldn?t understand.  The heartache I?ve gone through because of her is just too great to bear any longer.

rn

 

rn

It seems she goes out of her way to hurt me, and it seems to give her so much pleasure.  But I?m not going to let her hurt me any more.  That?s it.  It?s over.  Sometimes you have to do the hardest things in life, even if they don?t seem right to others.  Maybe this makes me seem like a hard person, but I can handle that a lot better than I can handle the heartache and hurt that she?s dishing out to me.

rn

 

rn

Am I gonna totally drop my granddaughters out of my life?  No.  I?ll still make Christmas ornaments for them every year, just like I always do.  But like Nova?s two sons (she gave them to their father and he allows no contact with them by our family), I?ll put their ornaments away to give to them when they get older.  And while I?m making their ornaments, I?ll allow myself to decorate them with a few tears, just like I do with the boy?s ornaments.

rn

 

rn

Ok, enough.  I know I?ll get negative comments on this decision, and that?s ok.  I welcome all comments.  But the decision has been made, and Micheal supports me on it.

rn

 

rn

Now, on to another subject, which may be a bit too much info for some of you.  Have any of you heard of the new diet pill called Alli that they?re advertising?  If you?re thinking about trying it, DON?T.  No, I haven?t tried it, and I?m not gonna.  It?s the same thing as Xenical, which I have tried.  That was NOT a pleasant experience.  It strips a portion of the fat that you eat, prevents your body from retaining it, and eliminates it from your body through your bowels.  Suffice it to say, you?ll have frequent desperate runs to the bathroom, especially shortly after you eat, and you?ll need to carry extra underwear and pants with you at all times because of the oily discharge from your bowels.  Yuck!!!!

rn

 

rn

Well, I guess that?s about all I have to say.  I?ve probably said too much already anyway!  I?m off to read a few blogs.

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!!!

rn

 

Good morning, Y?all.

rn

 

rn

We spent a nice, quiet weekend here.  It rained all weekend, so what better place to be but cuddled on the love seat watching movies.  Well, not actually movies.  We have the first 5 seasons of The Waltons on DVD and that?s what we were watching.  We splurged and ordered pizza in the early afternoon on Saturday and except for popcorn that evening, that?s all we ate all day.  Yesterday Micheal went to get groceries while I cooked dinner.  Other than that, we stayed in front of the TV all weekend.  And it was a very nice weekend.

rn

 

rn

Micheal checked the itinerary for our California trip and our flight out is Wednesday afternoon instead of Thursday.  He decided that we?re not gonna take much with us?just the bare necessities, and then we?ll go shopping for clothes on Thursday since everybody will be at work!  Talk about eccentric!!!  But that?s Micheal for you!  He said we?ll just piggyback our luggage - pack the smaller case and put it inside the larger one ? and that way we?ll have luggage to bring everything home in.

rn

 

rn

Now granted, he could use some new shirts, and he wants to get some Hawaiian print shirts from this store we used to go to in California, but jiminy!!!!!!  He?s talking 2, 3, maybe 4 outfits for each of us!!!  I asked him what I was supposed to do with all those new clothes if the weight decides to start dropping again and he said give them away.  The man?s a total nut!!!!!!!!!!!!  But, I knew that when I married him, so what does that make me?

rn

 

rn

And we decided we are going to go ahead with our original plan of a small picnic with hot dogs, hamburgers and chips and invite the ?immediate? family and if anybody wants to join us, great.  If not, that?s their loss.  How?s that for thwarting their extravagant plans?

rn

 

rn

Oh, and an update on the whacko at the company where Micheal is working?a couple of weeks ago they called her in for a meeting and she started screaming discrimination.  When they asked for details, she backed down.  They told her that was her final warning.  She didn?t show up at work the next day (Friday).  On Monday, Micheal found out that she?d faxed in a letter of resignation and nobody?s heard a thing from her since.  I think they dodged a major bullet on that one!

rn

 

rn

Well, I guess that?s it for today.  I?m off to read some blogs.

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!!

Good morning, Y?all.

rn

 

rn

Ooops?guess it?s actually afternoon!  I?m running kinda slow today.  Guess it?s the rain and cold.  It?s only 40 degrees here!

rn

 

rn

Not much going on here.  We probably won?t do much this weekend since it?s supposed to rain most of the weekend, and the temp?s not supposed to go up much tomorrow.  We?ll probably do an all-weekend movie marathon.  We have a whole stack of DVD?s we?ve bought and haven?t watched yet.

rn

 

rn

I?m still hurting, but I think the weather may have a little to do with it.  But I can live with it.  I always do!

rn

 

rn

Well, guess that?s about it for this one?short and sweet!!!

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!

Good morning, Y?all!

rn

 

rn

Yesterday was my manicure/pedicure day, and boy did I need that massage chair.  That was great.  Afterwards I took lunch to Micheal?turkey sub from Subway, then went shopping.

rn

 

rn

In the midst of the shopping, chaos hit!  I?d just pulled onto the parking lot of a shopping center when the clouds burst!!  Rain started coming down in sheets so I just parked in the middle of the lot.  The wind was blowing so hard, my truck was rocking.  I actually saw a shopping cart go rolling past me, very fast, UP HILL!!!  It was hailing, and lightning was coming down all around me!  There was nowhere for me to go or nothing for me to do except just sit still and hang tight!!!  If I?d tried to get to one of the stores, I?d have gotten soaked, and I couldn?t drive closer cuz I couldn?t see past the front end of my truck!

rn

 

rn

After about 45 minutes, everything finally eased up.  I headed over to one of the stores, only to find out that the power was off?in the whole shopping center.  The traffic signals were also dead.  And the stupid idiots around here were just flying right through the intersections.

rn

 

rn

Everywhere we?ve ever been, when a traffic signal is dead or malfunctioning, it?s treated like a stop sign.  Not here!  It was everyone for themselves and the heck with anybody else.  I decided I?d just drive over to the office and wait in the parking lot for Micheal.  By that time it was only about an hour til he got off from work.  I took the long way, making right turns and taking back streets where possible, instead of going straight through intersections or trying to make left turns.  It was a madhouse!  But at least I made it there, and we made it home intact.  We sat in the truck for about 10 minutes waiting for the rain to let up, but it didn?t, so we finally said the heck with it and got out.  We got soaked getting to the apartment, but that was ok.  We were home safe and able to get out of the wet clothes.

rn

 

rn

A week from today, we?ll be on the plane heading to California for the weekend.  We?re both having mixed feelings about the trip, but we?re gonna go and make the best of it.  We decided if we don?t like what everybody has planned for us, we?ll just go do what we want to.  Sometimes I just can?t figure people out.  Any time I?ve had somebody come from a distance to visit me, I?ve always made sure all plans were made around what they wanted to do, not what I wanted to do.  Guess everybody else isn?t like me.  Of course, Micheal?s mother and daughter have always been the type to take over any situation and run it they way they want it?or at least they try to.

rn

 

rn

Well, I?m gonna go read some blogs.  I haven?t been on here since Tuesday afternoon, except to read an e-mail, so there?s a lot to read.  If I don?t comment on your blog, please forgive me!

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!!

rn

 

Good morning, Y?all.

rn

 

rn

Not such a good day here this morning.  Woke up hurting pretty bad, so not good for much of anything.  Hopefully it will ease up before too long.

rn

 

rn

It?s supposed to be sunny and very warm today, but it sure doesn?t look like that right now.  It?s awfully dark and gloomy looking out there.  I did manage to get in about an hour of sun soaking yesterday.  The tan lines are getting more defined.  Maybe I need to start dropping the straps!!!  LOL!!

rn

 

rn

You?re not gonna believe what Micheal was doing last night.  He was checking prices on a trip to Hawaii!  He said he was thinking about taking me to Hawaii for Christmas!!  Can you believe that man?  He?s just too much.  I?m not gonna hold my breath, cuz too much can happen between now and then, but I never know what he?s gonna do next!  And of course it will also depend on whether or not they send us to India for a year.  Hmmm?what to hope for?Hawaii for Christmas or India for a year?  That?s a hard choice!!!  Glad the decision?s not up to me!

rn

 

rn

Well, that?s about it for me today.  Off to read some blogs, then I?m gonna stretch out on the couch?see if this pain eases.

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!

Good morning, Y?all.

rn

 

rn

I hope everybody had a great Mother?s Day!

rn

 

rn

I had a pretty good weekend.  Saturday morning Micheal got up and announced that it was completely my day and that we?d do anything I wanted.  So we got dressed and took a drive up into Maine.

rn

 

rn

We took our time going up and got as far as Kennebunkport before heading back home.  It took us 4 ? hours to get there and only 2 hours to get home, but we stopped a lot going up and took the back roads!  We took the freeway home.

rn

 

rn

And I was able to add another keychain to my collection!  I now have key chains from 40 states plus Canada and Mexico.  And I have key chains from Egypt and Ireland, thanks to a couple of special Buddies!

rn

 

rn

Yesterday we just relaxed around the apartment.  Micheal did laundry and his expense report, and I cooked dinner, but that was about it.  We watched old movies and just enjoyed each other?s company.

rn

 

rn

Micheal?s daughter and mother called me in the early afternoon to wish me a happy Mother?s Day.  My son finally called around 9:30 last night, but I never heard a thing from my daughter.

rn

 

rn

And I?m just not gonna let her get to me anymore.  She calls her stepmother ?mom? and calls me ?Mary?, so I already know how she feels.  And if that?s the way she wants it? Maybe one of these days she?ll learn what a big mistake she has made.  But I doubt it.  Either way, it?s all on her now.  I?m through stressing over her.  I can?t let her selfishness and immaturity ruin my health and happiness.  That may sound selfish of me, but so be it.  You can only try so hard and so long before it?s time to give up.

rn

 

rn

And, I?ve been dragging my son into it, which isn?t fair to him, and that?s gonna stop, too.  He says not, but I know he resents being put in the middle of things.  So that?s not gonna happen any more.

rn

 

rn

Ok, enough of that.  Today I?m gonna relax.  The housekeepers will be here shortly to clean.  This afternoon is supposed to be sunny and warm so I?ll spend some time sitting out on the balcony soaking up some sun!  I?ve already spent several hours out there over the past couple of weeks, and you can tell it!  No sunburn?I don?t burn.  But I have some tan lines from the straps on the tops I wear out there. 

rn

 

rn

The pool will be opening Memorial Day weekend.  So you know where I?m gonna be spending a lot of time after we get back from California!  I?ll be able to get some exercise without causing myself too much pain.  And since the fitness center is right there close to the pool, I may just be able to work myself up to going in there and using some of the machines before getting in the pool.  I?ll just have to see how things progress.  But I?m not gonna push it.  I don?t wanna do anything that makes the pain worse than it already is.

rn

 

rn

Well, that?s about it for me.  I?m gonna go read some blogs.

rn

 

rn

Y?all have a fantabulous day!!

Good morning, Y?all.

rn

 

rn

I had a really bad day yesterday.  I just lost it.  Every time I turned around I was hearing or seeing commercials and ads for Mother?s Day.  My mother is gone, and my kids seldom ever acknowledge me on Mother?s Day, so the day is meaningless to me.  Well, it?s not meaningless?it?s painful.  But I spent most of yesterday in tears.  I was able to pull myself together before Micheal got home, though.  He hates to see me that way, so I won?t let him if I can help it.

rn

 

rn

How did I ever get so lucky?  We found each other and just fell for each other immediately.  Do you believe in love at first sight?  That?s the way it was for both of us.  I saw him and just melted, and he said when he saw my smile, he was hooked and he couldn?t help but smile himself.

rn

 

rn

And our first touch was electric?literally.  The first time he took my hand, it actually shocked both of us.  Couldn?t have been static electricity?we were wearing tennis shoes, walking on concrete on a very rainy day!  I spent the rest of the day literally trembling!  Micheal though I was cold, but it definitely wasn?t because of the temperature!  We really believe it was a sign that we were supposed to be together.  But, we waited a year and a half before we got married.  We wanted to be absolutely sure, cuz neither of us wanted to go through another nasty divorce.

rn

 

rn

Sure we?ve had our arguments?no real fights, just arguments and disagreements.  But we?ve agreed to disagree.  It?s ok.  And sometimes we get into silly arguments (Micheal?s mother just hates that) just so we can have an excuse to make up (although we really don?t need an excuse!)!!!

rn

 

rn

But days like yesterday just serve to make me more aware of how lucky I really am.  I have a man that really loves me, in spite of my faults.  When I hurt, he hurts, and when I?m sad, he?s sad?and vice-versa.

rn

 

rn

It?s totally amazing how two people from such different backgrounds can be so right for each other.  He?s a city boy from California, and I?m a country girl from Arkansas.  He comes from a very broken family?his mother was divorced 3 times after he was born and two of his brothers have been in and out of prison.  My parents were together til the day my mother died and none of my sisters has ever had anything worse than a speeding ticket.  When we met, Micheal had traveled the world, and I?d never been more than 250 miles from Northeast Arkansas (til I went to California).  He has 4 Master?s degrees, 2 Bachelor?s degrees and 2 associate?s degrees.  I only have an associate?s degree.  He?s average size for a man and I?m way overweight.  We?re so different, and yet we?re so alike.

rn

 

rn

He?s showed me so many things that I probably never would have been able to see if we hadn?t met.  He?d been there himself, but I never had.  We?ve traveled coast to coast, twice, and border to border.  And we?ve made a few first-times for both of us together?Niagara Falls, Atlantic City, and a couple of others.  And now we?re gearing up for at least a week in India.  That will be another first for both of us.  He?s traveled outside the US, but never to India.  When we married, he told me he was gonna try to show me the world, and that he WOULD show me the US, but I didn?t think we would be living in most of it!  But that?s ok, too, cuz as long as we?re together, it doesn?t matter where we are or how long we?re there.  We?re actually enjoying living in new places and meeting new people.

rn

 

rn

A fantasy life?  Yup, I guess you could call it that.  People keep asking us when we?re gonna settle down, but I don?t know if we ever will?maybe when we get too old and decrepit to run around!  But they?d probably have to stick us in a retirement home to keep us put, and that may not work!  We?re just enjoying our life too much.  Yeah, it has its costs?it?s a lot harder to make long-time friends when you move so much.  And making friends makes it a little harder to leave.  But I have a couple of old friends back home and I have my friends on here.

rn

 

rn

Yeah, I know this has been a bit of a sappy blog, but the way I felt yesterday really made me reflect on what I have now.  I believe I?m one of the luckiest people alive, for more reasons than one.  I am so blessed to have a man that loves me so much.

rn

 

rn

And I?m blessed to have friends like you to share my life with.
