Mom has too many issues this year: Skin cancer on her back that needed removed and an epidermoid cyst on her head that left a HUGE bald spot after it healed. Is mom falling apart? I think not - not getting rid of her yet people!

After trying to upload more pictures for about an hour-and-a-half, I gave up. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow or another day. At least I finally put something new on the blog - yay me!

Dad will be home for a visit in five weeks. Thinking about his visits makes me so very happy. It's rough for married couples who are apart for any reason. Thinking about being a widow wigs me right out. Dad's words about being without our best friends: "It's messed up!"

Are you enjoying my colors? It's the 'bess I can do - the bess I can do'

My recent prayers are that:

Paul has a happy heart and knows how much we appreciate his sacrifice.

Wes continues to have a job.

Nikki gets pregnant and keeps it to have a healthy baby.

Fressia remembers what a great person she is.

Brad gets his wish for a real job.

Jamee knows we love her.

Brit doesn't worry so much and sleeps well.

Jason gets a better - long lasting job.

Trevor finds his way and gets an education, education, education.
