28 Years !!!!!

It's my 28th Anniversary !!

28 years ago, I was a messed up young lady searching. I remember the day I decided I was ready to get married. My only problem was, there was no man in my life. Oh, some flitted in and out, but no one special.

I was so fed-up with the prospects in my area, I decided to quit my job and move to California with a friend. I had going away parties and sell offs of personal possessions. In the final months before I was to depart, I met him. DAMN !!! He was someone I had met before, thinking just maybe he was the one. But it did not work out then. And here he was. I told him I was moving, but ( little did I know how he worked), he kept at me. Finally, I started to wavier. Then a series of events occurred to change the course of my life forever. I was pregnant. Moving was now out of the question.

So I did move. In with Dave. Then we were married on Jan 8, 1983.

Would I change anything ? NO ! I have a beautiful 28 years old daughter who is married to an amazing man. They have 3 beautiful angels, my trio is what I call them.

11 years after my daughter, I was gifted with my son. Little did I realize 11 yrs earlier what a gift my daughter was.

Every year I tell my husband, I can't believe I've been with the same man for this long.

Here's hoping for 28 more !!!

The 2 year Blizzard

Good bye 2010 aka-Blizzard #1

Hello 2011 aka- Blizzard #2

What a New Year ! Plans to go to my moms pummeled with bad weather. Then rain followed by a blizzard. We had a brief break , a chance to do some digging out, then good ole # 2 hit. Roads closed in the city, county and even the interstate.

The high point of all this, was spending 5 days with my 3 granddaughters. They loved the adventure. They loved hearing about the different things we talked about, liked where the origin of their names came from. Or, who their godparents are. And, what it was like when they were babies. Luckily, they each had a handheld game system along, so they did spend alot of time playing those too.

I hope this New Years will be one they remember forever. I know we will !!!
