Prom!!!

Sam went to Prom this weekend. I refuse to include a pic of her date because he was such a jerk to her!! I am a momma bear when it comes to my kids and it is all I can do to not smack the rest of the group she went with especially her date!! I wish I could rewind time and make the night never happen. Thank goodness "Mormon Prom" is next weekend and her date to that is a whole lot better!

Happy Birthday!!!

My little "Maddi Sue Whoo" is 12 today. She got up this morning and got ready and as she was leaving the car I looked at her and she has aged 5 years since last night!!! She has always been on the petite side but all the sudden she has hit a growth spurt and is looking like a teenager :( I'm not ready for 3 teenage girls!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDI...I love you!!!

Prom!!!!!

Sam's dress came today...FINALLY!!!! We ordered this dress from China and boy did they take their sweet time in getting it to us. Sam has been so worried that it would not be what she expected... Well it is that and more thank goodness. I have not seen her smile like this in a long time. I would love to post a pic of it but I'm sworn to secrecy until the big day next weekend. So you all will just have to wait.

Hello!!!!

Well here I am a year later trying to get back to blogging...AGAIN!!!

In the past year I took a step back and re-prioritized my life. After my mom died and then Dave with his unexpected set backs from his bypass surgery, I kind of fell apart a little. I had to take a look at my life and go back to the basics. Which meant no blogging, FB was out, even Christmas cards were not happening. I found I became a homebody and just focused on my little family.

I am not completely back yet but I feel like I can finally be a little creative again. I miss it, I need to smile again and be happy.

Wish me luck on my venture back to life.

It's been awhile...

Hello there.

It has been awhile since I've visited this blog.

I feel like I am finally coming out of a fog.

I can finally journal without writing something I might regret.

Since my mom's death I have experienced a lot of emotions and feelings.

You know how there are steps in the grieving process...well I have gone back and forth with those steps and have stepped on them more than once.

I have a journal filled with questions why, angry rants, memories, what ifs, you name it I have written about it and still am writing about it.

Needless to say I don't cry every day anymore, but there still are tears. The migraines are few and far between, and the hives have gone away completely.

Easter was hard. All the talk about Christ's death and how we will see him again someday was too much for me.

Mothers day is coming up and I am not looking forward to it. Luckily Ben's birthday is the same day so I will concentrate more on that.

I'm slowly coming back to my normal self. I have been such a hermit these last few months.

I can't say right now that I will be the same person that I was but I'm trying.

I miss my old self...
