2007 was a roller coaster ride for my family, from the first week of January to the end of December.
Mom was in the hospital for several days in January , shortly after that Wally’s brother had a heart attack, and a few months later was in a serious auto accident with his wife. We are so lucky that we did not loose them. After seeing the pictures of the car it was very evident that they had a guardian angel watching over them.
In the spring the biggest blow came, we lost my sister JoAnn (Joey). I miss her terribly. Its funny/sad you never realize just how much someone means to you until they are gone. There are so many times that I want to talk with her, call her to tell her something silly and I can’t do that. We take so much for granted, put so many things off telling ourselves we can do it tomorrow. A promise that I am making to myself and those around me, is that I will not put off till tomorrow what I want to say today, because tomorrow may never come.
2008 is just around the corner, and with it alot of excitement. new beginnings, we have a new baby that will be coming into the family. My son, Ryan and his wife Maddie are expecting their first child at the beginning of June.
My nephew, Jimmy is serving in the US Navy, he just returned from the Middle East that in itself is something to be grateful for. While in the Navy Jimmy met and fell in love with Jordan, together they have a beautiful son, Austin. Last month they married. They are now in the process of moving Jordan and Austin up to Washington so the family can be together.
My nephew Zack just graduated from UC Davis, he plans on taking a break before heading to law school. Congrats Zack!
Yes, 2008 is going to be a good year, and throughout the year I will be posting pictures of family, friends and anything else that might strike my fancy. I encourage your comments, ooh that could be asking for trouble! LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
