Since losing my mom on May 10th, I have been through very hard days. Losing your best friend in the world is one of the most devastating things. But a couple of good things have come of it. I have realized that life does go on after the death of a dear one. And I have gotten closer to God. I was very angry with Him at first because I don't understand how He can just take someone from you without you getting to say goodbye. But as time goes on I know that I need Him in my life. God has His … [Read more...]
It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later
If you follow my blog, you know that my dear mother passed away May 10th. Losing her has been the most difficult thing I have ever gone through, and I have been through a lot in my 22 years already. My mom was my best friend, my everything. She was always the first person I went to when I had good news (after my husband, of course) and the one I went to for advice. She taught me so much. To treat people the way you want to be treated and to always stand up for yourself and your family, … [Read more...]
RIP Mom.

Thanksgiving and the Flooded Kitchen of 2012!
I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My family had a great one. Miles, unfortunately, worked 7am-3pm, but the nice big paycheck we'll have this next week will be worth it. :) I have a funny story to tell. Riley was still asleep at 10am and I was in on my computer in the bedroom. Well, my mom decided to put the turkey in cold water to make sure it was thawed out enough. Well, I could have sworn I heard bacon sizzling, so I ventured out to see what exactly was going on. … [Read more...]
