Gavin~

You amaze us more and more everyday.

From the way you talk and the independence you fight for.

Your dad and I love you so much!

Didn't take a nap all day, there were to many toys to play with!

Grandpa Bob showing me how to play golf.

Here he is helping with my swing. Thanks grandpa!

Being my goofy self!

4 years later...

I can't believe that Brian and I have been married for 4 years now! It seems like we have been together forever, yet are still newly weds. Brian, I love you more and more each day. Sometimes I just sit back and watch you play with Gavin and I am in awe of what a wonderful dad you are and will be to our new addition in September. I love the life we are building together and can't wait to see what our future holds. I know all things are possible when we are together. I love you so much! (Also it is 84 degrees outside today, in 2005 it was like 103!)

Sadness

Farrah Fawcett dies at age 62 after a battle with cancer.

I am not sure why this news makes me so sad. I never knew her or watched her on the television. I am not a child of the 70's so 'Charlie's Angels' isn't a show I saw. Maybe I am sad because she is how I have always pictured my mom. Beautiful, inside and out-forever. Maybe I am sad because I can picture how that terrible cancer ripped at someone so beautiful until they just couldn't take it anymore. Maybe its pregnancy hormones. Maybe because it is already almost July and soon it will be August and we will have hit the 1 year since mom has been gone.

Today I am just sad. Not for one particular reason, but one thing I do know is they are forever beautiful 'angels' together in heaven.

Memorial Day

My mom's final resting place. It is now complete with a headstone.

The back shows the guardian angel and lists all of our names.

The is the back view of the stone. The field straight through that gate is where my step dad farms, and his family farm is up the road a quarter mile.
