christmas time

“I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces -- my
family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope.
These graces have carried me through difficult times and they have
brought more joy to the good times than I ever could have imagined. The
days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that.”....RIP Elizabeth Edwards

I just love what she wrote just prior to losing her battle with breast cancer...great words to live by!!
Its that time of year again for the stressing and hustle and bustle... Me and Hannah will be the only ones traveling this year do to Jake working and Pete well lets just say...hes not a real fan of all the running around his family demands of him and guilt-trip statements made so he really just chooses to stay home...he also isnt the biggest fan of flying:) thou after the trip to VEGAS he has come a LONG way and it was one of the best trips ever!! First for us alone in about 20 years so well deserved:)
Anyways I look forward to spending time with the family and seeing my gramma and just being home.....i will miss my boys but i get to see them everyday so it wont be too bad!!

hmm havent been on here in 2 years

SO I guess I havent been on here in over 2 years and just even remembered i have this site when a friend posted her friends blog on FB.... It was a blog of a family going through some very difficult health issues....cancer!! I read the whole blog from the beginning and cried and smiled and could feel the strength of her as she typed each entry. Ive always felt that writing, journaling, and now blogging does wonders for the mind....ive off and on kept journals and they seem to make things some-what better. Almost like you write your problems down and shut the cover and thats it...over done gone.... we know thats not true but maybe the mind feels differently.. so here i go again..blogging world here I come......
