Random Thoughts.........

I am loving this weather here in good old Missouri! These past few days have been in
the 70's! It's nice to have the windows open all day and enjoy the cool breeze. Erich came across pictures from 2006 and 2007 from our old hard drive....as I was looking through them today. Several of the pictures brought tears to my eyes as I was pondering the sweet memories of many of the pictures we found that I thought were lost.
Anyways...I really really miss having long hair and I can't wait to have it long again. I cried several times yesterday thinking about my little Natalie going into surgery tomorrow. I am so nervous about not being in the room to hold her little hand. I don't know why but I am more nervous about this surgery than I was about her heart surgery and eye procedure that she had when she was in the NICU. We know that she will be watched over while they are operating on her but the waiting is and can be so hard! Here are several pictures that we came across that have such sweet memories....



This was one of the last pictures taken just before Leanne was born. I was 32 weeks. What a sweet memory!



These were our sweet puppies...okay they were huge! We always called them puppies. Sarah was our German Shepard we had since she was 8 weeks old. Boomer was our Siberian Husky that we got in January 2008 and he was 3 years old at the time. We loved them. At times, they were so needy but we enjoyed having them around. We ended up moving from our town home so we had to give them to new homes. Sarah's new owners are getting ready to breed her so hopefully we will have a house so that we can have one of her babies! Oh how we can't wait!



The day I graduated from Graceland University on May 18, 2007. I was so PROUD of myself for getting back into school to finish my Bachelor's degree. I am grateful that Erich was there along with my family to celebrate with me.



August 2008 Erich, Stacey (cousin) and I all went to Nauvoo for the weekend to see the temple and the pagenant. What a fun time we had!



This was taken Thanksgiving of 2007...my tummy was so HUGE when I was pregnant with Leanne. I was 30 weeks pregnant. That Thanksgiving was so much fun!



This was our Beautiful 3 bedroom town home. We LOVED it! We had so much room and space. We were the first renters and we were sad to move back into apartment but living there was quite expensive. Someday, either we will go back there and buy one or buy a house. Oh how I can't wait to own a home someday!
