Alright I am finally getting around to doing this. I want to
start out by saying to my kids and husband, I do love you and I want to
thank you for just being there.
Ok so the mushy stuff done and said.
I got through a semester of college at CyFair. I loved it.
What a challenge who knew learning how to spell and do math would one day
come in handy. I get a kick out of loading the back pack and heading off to
school realizing I am expanding myself. I hope to get my degree in Criminal
Justice, and take that to family law or juvenile court system. This spring I
received a presidential award for my grades, see kids it does pay to at
least do your homework and turn it in. I am starting another semester at the
end of August which will include more core classes, criminal justice and a
photography class.
We had an excellent summer. Why, I do not know why, except
to plead temporary insanity traveled with all six boys by car to New York
and back. Needless to say a few more gray hairs exist but it was fantastic.
We stayed in a wonderful house along the shores of Lake Canandaigua visiting
family. Timothy, Dawn, Charlie, and Lily I miss them all so much. I love you
guys.
I learned how to play Mexican Train and learned my
ability to peddle a boat far exceeds my ability to actually win at Mexican
Train. Timothy, thank you for the banana bread. As always it was
scrumptious. The whole crew visited Niagara Falls up close and personal, but
the wonder was the look on the face of a man I hold dear to my heart.
Priceless. Kyle's bus friend Jerry will be forever a memory for us all,
thank you Kyle for being you, never change that. Eric and his passports were
a great success, I loved seeing you in charge.
I have taken a few excursions with Lee away from the home
front but our time in New Orleans meant the world to me. I saw sites i never
thought I would. I held what I perceived to personal attributes of a statue,
burned my cheek on the temple of graciousness, dance the night away with my
knight in shining armor, I even floated along the wondrous river of many
adventurous site, the serenading vocals of the four gentlemen at the
restaurant presenting Lee with his birthday man loaf. The best of all was
the wonder of holding a wild beast in my hands, an alligator. I shall never
forget or take for granted what you did for us Lee, thank you you never
brought it out. Put your dirty minds away, I am referring to his work.
Well, time to run errands and locate children. I do love all
of you guys, Austin my Angel (I believe in you), Marshall my Dootie (sorry,
you are my gift), Christopher my Boogity Boo (always be you , you are
wonderful), Kyle, my constant Challenge of WHY (I love it), Eric ( you are a
treasure), Mark my Goober (those hugs get no better) and Lee in a word-
COMPLETELY.
Oh, a trip to Kananaskis, Canada. How often do you get to
live life? Do it now before you miss it.
