I'm still going strong.

Ya I know it's been awhile...lol

Well i do want to start out that my husband finally has a permanent job. It's a big factory, and already he had 2 raises...one from being hired in and another for making it 3 months hired in. So some worry is off my shoulders. Just playing catch up for over a years worth of trying to keep the house. He seems to like it there and from the way he talks it seems they like him, this makes me happy.

I can't believe it's already been six months since mom passed. I pray everyday that she would come to me in a dream. I miss her so much! The day after Christmas i was at her grave, with a beautiful arrangement that is appropriate to keep there. Wished her a Merry Christmas and told her how much she is missed. I told her how I screwed up Christmas dinner...Not horribly but it wasn't as good as hers! I tried, I will learn how to do it right! The holidays will never be the same.

I would say that the first 4 months was hard, I wasn't sleeping, i wasn't even really existing! Just was here. The last 2 months I feel like me! I have good days and i have bad. My father makes it hard. He's so lonely, he thinks it's time for him to find another...all that really is the fact that he can't stand being home all by himself and the fact he has to do everything for himself...he is definitely not used to that. Cooking is his major complaint. I help with his bills, but that's all i'm pretty much doing. My sister comes over every once in a while to help clean. My dad could drive someone insane, I really don't know how my mom put up with him!

My son Darin is excited that he will be all graduated by May 25th, his commencement is on May 31st. We are all excited... I am thinking of having his party on June 3rd...I really need to start finding a place to have it. Start getting decorations and things like that.

My daughter has done most of her steps to get her driver's license. She only needs to take driving test and go to secretary of state and get it. She still gets a little nervous, but drives well. Darin has alot more confidence in it.

Work for me hasn't been great, they have me doing alot of the stock position that i hate soooo much! They came to me and asked if i would like to start doing it 5 days a week. I think that I will tell them tomorrow No! I will never get off of it and I don't want to start hating getting up every morning to go to work. It will depress me to no end!

I had my car in the car repair shop last week because the engine light came on. Turned out to need a tune up and for a week all was good, but yesterday it came back on...I hope it won't cost me a fortune! Figures that when it's almost paid off things start falling apart. Hopefully its a warranty thing and won't cost me nothing. :)

Well my friends...Lets hope for a great 2012!

Just a couple things I whipped up.




I was looking for a reason to pull out the old crochet hook. This was so quick and easy! I can make a granny square like nobody's business! lol


Been busy working, baking cookies, Christmas decorations, Christmas shopping. Last few days I have just been really tired.


Last weekend my husbands brother came out to visit us for the first time. We had a good time, we all went to Frankenmuth for the day. We went to Bronner's and everyone picked out new ornaments for the tree. I picked out a double heart for Frank and I, Amber picked a pig of course (she loves pigs). Darin picked a cute little Yeti (his nickname is yeti at school) Cuz he is so tall and harry and the last name. lol Then we ate at world famous Zehnder's, it took us and hour to be seated, but well worth the wait.


Sunday we woke up and had breakfast, and chit chatted a bit and then dropped his brother at the airport. It was a short visit, wish it was a better weather, we could have done way more with a little more time. Oh well, maybe next time!


Well I have to get off here and get ready for work. I will make an effort to post more often, I know with facebook I have laxed on here...lol

Homecoming 2011





















So tired of talking about bad things, so that's why no posts lately....

But heres a good thing that i am happy to report. Amber went to Homecoming and she looked beautiful! She decided to go by herself and she had a great time. After the dance we all went out to dinner with many friends at Ram's Horn. I'm glad she had a ball!

Mom's stone arrived!

Woke up this morning and took a ride to the cemetary to be surprised to find out that mom's stone arrived. The person told us 6 to 8 weeks and it's only been 2. It was great to see it. It hit my father and I like a ton of bricks...We had a good cry. She Is and was an amazing lady. I suppose the next time we go there it will be set in it's place...Its suppose to lay down flat, they have it up for the crew to come in and set it down. I promised her that I would make sure that it will be taken care of as long as I am able. Then I am sure my children will help after that.

She is gone...but will never be forgotten!!!! I LOVE YOU MOM!!!

Darin turned 17

I Can't believe Darin turned 17 on August 16th. Just seems like yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital. I couldn't be prouder of this boy that is turning into a man in front of my eyes! I'm still enjoying all of his first. In the beginning it was his first smile, laugh, crawling and walking, first words.....As he grew it was his first shave, his first drive, getting his driver's license, his first date and soon he will graduate high school.

I look at him in awwww....he's such a sweetie, he takes care of me, he never wants to see me sad! He took great care of his grandma, there was nothing he wouldn't do for her. I'll never forget the walk in the hall at the hospital where he grabbed her hand because he was afraid she would fall. (The pic is just a couple of older posts down)

He will be a great man, husband, and father one day!! Can't wait to enjoy what the next few years brings.
Love you Darin with all of my being!!!!







Grandma R.I.P




My nephew Matthew made this and it made me cry! Love You Mom! Miss you everyday!!!

Headstone.



We ordered mom's headstone on Tuesday....The picture above is the picture we chose to have laser etched on her stone. The stone will be black, the letters in white. It will have her name, her birthdate, her death date and will say Loving wife, mother and grandmother. It's going to take 6 to 9 weeks when it arrives I will post a pic. I am really hoping they can use this picture because I couldn't find another i wanted to use.


I miss her everyday!!! Rest in Peace mom, my best friend! I still can't believe she's gone.
