I've been scrapping...

Prom Weekend

This weekend I got the opportunity to play prom paparazzi for Paige and Devan. I had a great time and I'm pretty sure they got tired of having their pictures taken. But out of almost 200 photos, I did get a few good ones. Thank goodness for digital! If only the sun would have cooperated a little more!!!

8 years ago today...

Steve proposed to me. Silly man!! LOL!


So here's the story...

We went to dinner on a random night at TGIFriday's. I always wore my mom's original wedding band and he asked to see it. So I handed it to him and quickly announced that I had to go to the bathroom. When I came back, I asked for my mom's ring back because it was making me nervous that I didn't have it. So he put it on my finger, band side up. When I turned it around, I just about freaked out...it wasn't mom's ring...it was an engagement ring. And it was beautiful! He said something about I could have it if I promised to spend the rest of my life with him! So, I asked if I could have mom's ring! LOL! Then we both laughed and I had both rings!

And I am so glad that I said yes...and that he asked. I love him more today than I did then!

And you know, somehow I think that my mom played a small part in sending him to me. She never got to meet him. He and I were dating, but I had not introduced him to my family when she passed away! So, thanks mommy!

And another month passes...

Isn't it insane the amount of time that passes and how quickly it goes! There is a lot to catch up on...and I'm too tired to think about it all! Silly huh!?!?!?!?!

March 14, 2010

I have been having a rough go at it as of late. Feeling a bit sorry for myself I guess you could say. I miss my mom terribly and I am angry! Angry that she is gone! Angry that she didn't see me get married, have my child, be at my bridal shower. I'm especially angry that she isn't here with me while I'm going through the cancer thing. I hate it. And there is no one to blame and I hate that even more. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and a beautiful little girl and I have the BEST friends a girl could ask for...unfortunately, none of that makes up for my mom being gone. And I am even madder that I have 4, yes I said FOUR, older sisters, and NONE of them have stepped up to be a "mother" figure for me. I know, I'm 30 years old and I should be able to handle it...well, I can't and I'm angry and I'm sad and I'm hurt...and most of all, I want my mommy!

Over a month...and no new posts!

Sorry about that! I've been crazy busy! I am planning scrap for a cure for the 5th year. And I am still dealing with some residual from the radiation. But I am getting back to my old self (emotion wise).

Anyway- just wanted to check in...and let you all know that things are crazy!!!!

The best husband EVER!

I know that I have been a Debbie Downer lately. But my husband, he's the best! Yesterday, he spent the entire day cleaning our house. Even mopping the floors. And did laundry. And cooked dinner. And made me lunch for today!

I love him so much!
