Hello there. Sunday afternoon naps = good time to blog.:) We have had a whirlwind 3 weeks and it was SO fun! It started off with Tyson and I going to CHICAGO before our wedding for a 3 day getaway (we like doing things backwards.:) We had a BLAST..seriously, i love just being with him alone..what a TREAT. Thanks family and friends for taking care of our little bundles of joy!:) 3 out of 4 of my siblings came for Christmas and the wedding.(we missed you like CRAZY Crys!)
We had such a great time getting to know eachother again and I decided I really like hanging with the sibs.:) Applebees at 11pm + my bro's and sis's= FUN TIMES!!:)
I celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary with my first wedding. It was all I dreamed it to be and I love this guy..alot. And after 10 years of marriage, you'd think he would know to put MY nose BEHIND his!!!:)

Cassie turned 9 on the 4th. HOLY COW. And immediatly followed that up with a week worth of hormonal crazines. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!:)

We got to spend a week with my cousin after the wedding. We had so much fun and stayed up way to late every night. It's gonna take me months to catch up on all the sleep lost thru the holidays..but I wouldn't change it for the world.




Today is January 10th. My baby sister Cassie would have been 28. I wonder how different life would be if she had taken a breath in this world? I have shared with my Cassie where she got her name from and showed her the pictures/ memory book my mom has. The other day she came out of her bed late at night crying. When I asked her what was wrong she said I miss my Aunt Cassie...when asked what made her think of her, she said she was listening to a song on her cd that said " I'll always love you even though I will never see you...aw. Made me think about the relationship MY kids are missing out on with her being gone..but it also got me to thinking about what her life may have been. Maybe she would never have walked with the Lord and lived eternally without Him. So God, in His GRACE, chose to spare her life by taking it. i like that thought. I love you little sis, and can't wait to meet you. Give Grandpa a squeeze from me!:)
