14 YEARS...Circa 03/26/1999

Thank you for 14 years Joe. 

Thank you for being an AMAZING DADDY!!

Thank you for totally standing by while I figured crap out.

Thank you for smacking me on the butt and lifting me up to hug me. 

Thank you for asking me about my day every night, and thanking me for the things that I do.

Thank you for the amazing food that you cook and for the jokes

that you crack that absolutely shock and amuse me!!

Thank you for changing the oil and changing

the brakes. Thank you for telling me

that you love me.

Thank you for 14 years Joe.

Thank you for worrying about me and our kids.

Thank you for knowing that I hate lemon pepper chicken and always

putting less flavoring on my pieces. Thank you for not leaving the toilet seat up

and knowing the exact horse sculpture I would love every Christmas. Thank you for making jokes about

my 'forgetfulness' and not taking it so seriously. Thank you for taking such good care

of our kids and paying SO much attention too them that you know exactly what 

they need just about every time. Thank you for being 

so patient, even when I know it takes a few deep 

breaths. Thank you for telling me you 

Love me.

Happy Anniversary!!!

KAELA'S BIRTHDAY

I don't ever post because I really do have other more pressing things to do.

I have enough health issues in my house that The American Medical Association could write a Medical Journal on us followed by an encyclopedia followed by a new class held in Universities across the Country for aspiring Doctors. 

For me, this life is comforting and well...mine. 

I feel useful, loved, busy, happy, wanted and needed everyday. 

And I have been blessed with countless opportunities this past year and a half to show my family just how much I LOVE, and need them.

But I have been sort of envying those who I see are able to post everyday, and have really witty things to say. I do not have witty things to say and find that I am not able to give to others, outside of my family, as much as I probably should and would like. 

And so I post a montage of the giving I did do for my little Kaela Faye. (It will most likely be the last post I do for another 3 months) Kaela turned 6 today!! I love this girl more than I could ever put into words. She is sassy, FUNNY, eager to learn and to grow and to be loved and to prove herself. She is SO LOVING and tries SO hard everyday to make her daddy and I happy. I am happy every morning that I get to see her smiling face. I love the outfits that she picks for herself and pray every night that I do right by her. She deserves the world. 

And so Pictures....

Its a masterpiece. I should go into business.
