Today is Ryan's Birthday!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! YOU HOT HOT MAN!!! Ryan is 26 today and in my opinion is farther along in life and his career than most 26 year old men are. He is hard working and motivated. He is the funniest person I have ever known,seriously! For those of you that haven't gotten to experience the not so shy at all Ryan,your missing out! I just wanna say, thank you Shanna Fuller for my husband. I can't imagine my life without him. I love you Ryan and every year that passes I believe we grow closer and stronger than ever.

P.S. We should all try and convince him to grow his hair out! Look at that luscious thick head of hair!!!!

Our Anniversary

Monday was our 7 year Anniversary!! We celebrated Sunday night(for babysitting purposes). Ryan took me to the melting pot. It was all good ,but dessert was the best :). I can't believe it's been 7 years...I love Ryan and all that he does to take care of me and our children. I look forward to our future together.

Carol

Well, my dear Step-Mother passed away very early Thursday morning. I was fortunate enough to have my sis-n-law take the kids most of the day on Wednesday so I could spend the day with my Dad and Carol. It has been difficult but I know she has been relieved of a lot of pain and is getting to reunite with some of her family up in Heaven. I have known Carol all of my life, she has been there for me through quite a bit. I always felt how proud she was of me and how much she loved me. The strongest connection of love that I have ever felt or witnessed was the love that her and my Dad shared. In the last parts of her life she wasn't able to speak but whenever my Dad was with in her sight I could see and feel the love stronger than anything else. She was the same way with me as I sat and told her everything I wanted her to know,like how much I loved her and how grateful I was that she was so wonderful to my Dad. She did not have to say one word the entire conversation I felt what she was thinking and could see it in her eyes. I am sad that my Dad and her did not have more time together here on Earth, but in the little time that they were allowed they were a true example of how we should be with our spouses. Thank you Carol...for everything.
