June 15th

Well, I haven't been in the mood to blog, but I know I need to.

Father's Day- Ryan is a great Dad, he loves to teach the kids new things and be so silly with them, he works very hard to make sure that our kids have everything they need and want. It is obvious by the look in their eyes that he means the world to them.


I love my Dad. Although he hasn't been able to be around much in the last few years he has been a great example to us. He is patient ,understanding and strong. I
know that he is always there for me if
I need him.
My father-in-law has also been great.
He is supportive and caring. He is always
able to put a smile on my face no matter
what's going on.
This day was also Carol's Birthday. I think of her everyday. her love for us
and her smile. I really miss her but I know she is happy where she is.
I am also grateful for my Step-Father
Ed. We are not that close but he is one of the sweetest men I know and goes great lengths to take good care of my Mother, and for that I am so grateful for him.

Her name is Maggie and she....

got a new pair of shoes! Thank you for all your name suggestions, but Maggie seems to fit! For those of you that know us, we have had alot of different cars. This car is by far my favorite one yet!

My New Ride!!!

This is my new(new to us:) car! A 2005 Dodge Magnum. It is fully loaded with Leather interior and nice speakers! Ryan is counting down the days till he can go have some new shoes put on her ;). She rides great and saves me lots of money compared to my last beast that took all my money for gas. My father-in -law always names his cars....anybody have any suggestions?!

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.
