Friday and what has been on my MIND.

So here we are again Friday...I have been waiting so meet you again.


                                                     
So what's been on my mond....Adoption!
My husband have been talking about adopting for a few years now.  Why?  Well we found out years back shortley after we got married that I had endometriosis, severe enough that at a young age I would have a total hysterctomy and knew that we would never beable to have children on our own.  It was a hard time for us both but we came to the thought of adoption as a better option for ourselves and that wonderful child that was in need of a family.  There is so much to know and learn about adoption and so many worries that come with it. I know my parents are waiting on us to start adopting and are willing to help.  My husband and I are just at a stand still of not knowing what to do or how to start.  I do get people to ask why we don't start with foster care?  No, I have nothing aginst foster care nor am I a snob that just don't want to deal with foster care.  All children needs a family.  But we want that one  and first child to be a first.  A first at every moment.  The first word,crawl,smile and all the other first that come along with having a baby.  Once we get that oppertunity we will open our door to foster care.  How does adoption work?  How do we get started?  How can we make this dream of ours come true?  He and I have heard of so many stories of how easy it is and how some have just landed in the right place at the right time.  We are ready to find that love with open heart!  What do you know about adoption?  Any advice we are open to!     

This.... is my story (Cancer)

Cancer is well it's a bad word all around!  I know many out there have known someone who has/had cancer.
I learned about cancer at the age eight.  My cousin was born with Leukemia.  He was just two years younger than me and he was such a STRONG little fighter.  That little boy had a heart of gold and could put a smile on anyone's face.

My grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2006 and passed 2007 of a short but hard battle of this ever so ugly cancer.  She was the joy of my life!  I could not imagine not having her in my life.  She was the person I went to for anything that was goin on in my life.  I still  catch myself calling her number when I need some one to talk to or just to hear her voice.  Not to be a snob..... She was the best grandmother ever!   She had 9 children and my father is one of the 9.   My father was diagnosed in Feb.2010 and is now going thru his third year of fighting colon cancer.  My father is one of the best dads who has gone thru a lot in his life.  He raised my sister and I alone until he found a wonderful woman I call mom.  He is a fighter as all marines are!  Knowing he has invasive poorly cancer has crashed my world.  Staying positive has been ... Well hard at times.  Watching the most strongest man you have ever known in life have times that they hurts so bad and there is nothing you can do for them.  As he fights this ugly illness... He continue to work on cars.  Cars is his thing and if that's what keeps him going then I will let him play in the garage.

My mother was also diagnosed with cancer. SHe all tho has remained in remission since 2008.  She also has a few of her sisters have all fought breast cancer.

11 years ago

11 years ago this man walked me down the isle .  Wow 11 already!! And to think I signed a two year lease... This man is my father, with out him I would not be who I am today .  He has thought me so much.  How to fix a car,cut the grass and run a home!  Yup he's me teacher and father( no we don't look alike). But anywho he has thought me everything I need to know to survive on my own!  He has the best jokes and will laugh your lil butt off.  But back to him walking me down the isle to my high school sweetheart... His name is Josh and we have been together for 16 years and to see my father give me away to my best friend was a day I will never forget!  My husband and my father are also great friends, having a father be you husbands friend has it's great moments... And not so great!!! But to see them both together is always a laugh..and a lot beer .  

I love watching the two of them together .  This was fathers day 2013.  Cooking on the grill.  Good times

Maggie Love

  Hi all, this is Maggie and there is a story behind her. My husband and I went to look for a cat. Well that didn't work out so well. I could hear this sweet cry for help. I asked a lady working at the pound to let me see what was crying behind a door. We walk in and I see this ever so sweet 4 week old pup. The lady said they were going to put her down due to the other puppies next to her that were ill. Oh no! So as depressed of a meed I was in there was no way I would leave with out her! I HAD HER IN MY ARMS AND AT THAT MOMENT I KNEW SHE WAS THE LOVE I HAD TO HAVE. Maggie has been with me for 3years. And over the 3 years she has been my help through the bad moments in my life. With out her I would...well be able to know what its like to help something so small and helpless. She has brought laughter to our home and many silly moments. Maggie is the mist sweet loving cuddled bug ever. With out her the last 3 years would have been hard on me. So much has changed in three years in this house. Maggie knows how to turn a tear to a laughter of good times. I got her the weekend I was told the worst of worst news. Ever since then she has been right with me every step of the way! Needless to say my husband was not wanting another dog...I win! But she has brought him joy as well and....well he loves her. He just won't admit it. This is the start of a new chapter in my life. Maggie has given me hope and faith over three years. This Blogg is my story. My crazy life. I'm here to take you threw my road in life.
