Greetings from Houston

We are now in Houston at my dad and step moms, my dad is in the hospital, so I post asking for prayers for him. He had a mini-stroke, not the kind where you loose any feeling or movement, but if they cant control it this would happen. They call it throwing TPI's, they did an ultrasound, and an MRI, and have found no blockage, which is good news, but bad news. Without finding any blockage, they cant tell exactly why it is happening. He told me just before he went to the ER he was in a meeting and he could not think, he knew what he wanted to say but his brain wasn't working. That is very scary, and it scared him. Hopefully they can control this with medicine, and he will not have a full blown stroke. I am very worried about him. His blood pressure was dangerously high when he arrived at the ER and they were very concerned, it has come down now and he is feeling better so just pray that he will be OK.
OK now for happy updates, we had Christmas with my family and it was more than I could have hoped for. I got a new car! I got an 08 Grand Caravan, it is so great it has automatic doors, and everything. I love it! My grandpa got it for me. The kids got more toys then they know what to do with, and we had to ship them all home.
On Christmas I asked my mom if I could look through my grandmas jewelry, and she was very hesitant, just because she couldn't do it. So we cried together and looked through her jewelry. I really only wanted a bracelet that she had, it is just a gold and silver beaded bracelet, not worth any thing to anyone but me, but she wore it all the time. So my mom let me have it, and she gave me a herringbone necklace and a beautiful amethyst stone. I also got some silver jewelry that my mom said she would never wear, and a ring that my grandpa gave my mom. She gave me a sapphire ring that my grandma wore alot. It was the greatest ever. I could have just gotten the jewelry for Christmas and I would have been happy. I miss her so much, and as I was looking at some of the jewelry I noticed some of it needs to be cleaned, and I don't think I will ever be able to do that since it is part of her. It is so hard not to have her here. But I know that she is watching down on me and protecting me. Grandma I love you and miss you!
It was nice to see my grandpa, I feel sad for him, I know that he misses her so much they were inseparable and I cant imagine how he feels each day without her. I wish I could help him take away the pain. I don't want him to hurt. I love him so. Please pray for him.
Anyway I will update more as I know about my dad thanks for your prayers. Until next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come.................................................................................................

Happy Holidays To all

Greetings from Texas, we are here safe and sound. The kids are loving being at Grandmas and I am glad to be here with my family. I am sorry that I haven't been keeping up with the updates, but I sit to write and find that I just cant find the words to put into the blog. I will try to do better. I hope you are all well and having a Happy Holiday season. We are doing well G's breathing isn't so well, so we are back on the breathing treatments 4 times a day, but I am hopeful it will clear up soon. We will be opening gifts with my family tomorrow. Well I already got my computer, but the kids will be opening. Did I mention I LOVE my new computer. They are very excited to get new toys, and they are also getting bunk beds which they are ever so excited about. They will arrive around Jan. 16Th but the girls cant wait. I am mostly excited to see my grandpa, i haven't seen him in a year and I miss him so much.
This will be our second Christmas without my Grandma, and it is hard. I miss her still each day and I know that she is smiling down on me from Heaven. The past year and a half since her death my mom and I have grown much closer so I know that she is happy about that. But still a day doesn't go by that I dont think of her and wish for her to be here.
The kids will be up early so we can get to my moms to open gifts so i should go to bed, but I will update soon with pictures of the kids and their gifts. Till nest time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come.....................................

Delay delay delay

Sorry i haven't updated in a while, we are all good. Just really busy, Christmas is upon us. I think I am done with my shopping. The kids opened their presents last weekend so they would have the presents to play with for the week before we leave. We will be leaving on Friday evening for Texas. I am so ready to go home and see my family. I miss them and it is hard to be away for so long. I haven't seen my family except my mom in year. And my dad i haven't seen in over 2 years and my step mom since G was born so i am looking forward to visiting them!

I am updating from a new computer, yes I got my Christmas early as well, my mom bought it and had it shipped to me thinking it was to be here after the new year, but it got here yesterday so i am enjoying it! It is so much nicer than my other. It is a dell, a pink dell and I love it! I have so much updating to do, but it is late, I just wanted to share a couple of pictures, i will update more this week I promise. i may type it out on the way home and Post it once we get to Texas.
