Sad Day

Shortly after 7 am this morning I was awakened by a phone call that we all wish we never got. It was the husband of a close friend of mine, Ashley Thompson , letting me know that she had passed in the night. I was in shock to say the least, as she is just a young 25 years old. She was always a wonderful friend to me, always showed me love and concern, at times I felt too much, and now I am so sad that I felt that way. As my life became busier, it was hard to find the time for her,and I don't believe I was the friend I should have/could have been! For that I am so sorry Ashley. She was a great mom, a wonderful friend, and I am so heartbroken for her husband and their little boy Connor. Connor is "MY ANGEL"... I babysat him for nearly 3 years, and have always loved him as one of my own, and she allowed me to do that. She shared with me the most important thing in her life, her little man, and I will be so ever greatful. I bonded with him like with NO other child I ever cared for. I will never forget the love and kindness she shared with me, and the times she listened to me when I was struggling. I love you and miss you Ashley, and I know that you will always be near! For anyone who knew her and her family, her are the services scheduled.

Bow Hunt 2008

Jack Johnson Concert 2008

It is finally here! Josey has been "googling" Jack Johnson in concert for 2 years now.... and he finally came. She loved every second of it...well except for the part were Gracey was dancing in front of her. Josey was so cute... she sat quietly in the seat in front of us.. so FOCUSED!!! I of course AGAIN forgot the camera.. I took it, but then left it in the car, and they would not let me leave the ampitheatre to go get it!! ... So once again here are a couple of pics from the concert!! The girls have their new JACK t-shirts on, and asking "WHEN IS IT GOING TO START?"

First day of School 2008

I am the most horrible MOM!! I was rushing to get the kids ready, panicked about the first day, and FORGOT my camera!! I NEVER forget my camera!! I had my crappy blackberry with me so I snapped a shot! NOT very good... but monumental.......

COOL PICS

I happen to think these were WAY cool pictures... but no one else thinks so.... WHAT DO YOU THINK??? I think I catch some pretty cool things.. the hand picture of my gorgeous husband was an accident and the other one I actually MISSED by 2 sec... Jill should be showing more.. dang! But still very cool by my standards!

WANTED!!!

FORMER HIGHSCHOOL BODY LOST..

If anyone has seen it, please return to ME ASAP!!!!

STARTING TODAY!!!!! I have come to an understanding with myself!!!! I cannot feel like this anymore.. I have been doing THIS for far too long..... I know some of you may laugh, but for me this is pathetic. I have a goal, a dream or something like that... I have a picture in my mind of what I want to be and should/ could be and DANG it... it STARTS today... NO more junk!!! No more mexican ice cream bars, no more candy, no more carmel popcorn!!!! Keep in mind it is only 9:25 am.. But I am going to really try this time. It is very difficult for me to endure much exercise, as I have NEVER done it before... But TODAY is it!!! I did some small exercises for about 10 minutes at 7 am.... about killed me... and then I went running outside with Lincoln and Roxy.. Even my poor dog, couldn't believe I was running.. He thought I was playing a game with him!! ahh!! Where is the support Lincoln???

My new friend from work, Sloan, has commited herself to TEXT me EVERYDAY to keep me motivated to RUN.. She has been running for a month now and has lost 14 lbs!!! I can do it!! i know it!!! Here is a picture of me in about 2 months!! what do you think??????

I do not want to be doing this next summer!!!
