My Son

Tonight I'm going to pick Connor up and I'm so excited to see him. He means the world to me! I wish he didn't live so far away. I'm not sure what he will do, but just having him here is all I need. I can't believe he is going to be 15 this Saturday. All he is asking for is moms homemade pizza. I haven't made it in a long time so I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to take a lot of pictures this time. I seem to forget because I'm so happy to have him here and when he leaves I'm so bummed I forgot to take pictures.

So I haven't Kept this Up

I really had the ambition to keep this going and yet it's another thing I have failed at. I think I'm really busy but gosh I'm really not THAT busy. I wanted to use this to just say whatever the heck I wanted and not have any one judge me, but me the worry wart I am so worried what everyone thinks of me. I have realized that I don't even have any one that reads this so what the heck.

My hubby was out of work from March 9th until May 4th because of a few ruptured disc in his back. Well, he had a few shot and is feeling pretty well. So he went back to work May 4th and they had no work so they sent him home, then May 5th he was laid off. When it rains it pours and it has been a struggle with money and I'm trying to pick up more hours to help out, but it is really stressing me out. I feel bad for him and I know something will come along soon.

My sister got the bad news today that her ongologist says there is nothing else they can do for her. She is going to be sent to the National Cancer Institute and they are going to try and help her. I'm just praying they can.

I know enough bad news....but I just had to get this out.

My Husband

I meet my husband about 4 years ago. He came into my life at a time that I just needed someone that makes me laugh and really takes the time to take care of my needs. I never thought a redneck could make me so happy. He amazes me every time I see him fix something. He is such a macgyver. He can make toothpicks into a house. LOL....I can't believe the things he has me do. Bringing me out of shell and helping me not feel so scared. I never thought dirt bikes and 4-wheelers could be so fun! I didn't know what sweet tea, collard greens, chicken and dumplings, or Natural light really tasted like, but being from the South I had to learn to cook it and even eat or drink it! I didn't even know why flying Dixie was so important to the Southern Boy he is. I still haven't let him put a big flag pole out front. Living here in NC and having the family I have now has really changed me for the better and I'm very thankful for my husband and all of our kids we have together!

Our Family

I have always wanted to start a blog, but I just didn't think I would have enough to say. I guess I will give it a try. Our family has blended together and we do have your differences but, we try hard to work them out. We have a lot of fun together and I'm very thankful for all of them.
