The Wedding Planning Begins..............

I was thrilled with the idea of a wedding date of 07-07-07, does it get any luckier than that?
But as the planning and spending started, we realized we couldn't wait that long.
Bobby became a member of the church after months of studying and tons of questions to the missionaries and lots of prayer. I couldn't believe the genuine love he had for the gospel from the very beginning. He had set out to prove me wrong in my faith and with my religion, and instead.......... fell in love with the truth. To say I was happy, didn't even begin to describe my feelings.
To know something is true, all the way to your very soul, is something only few people experience in a lifetime, but watching it happen in someone else's life, well there's no greater joy. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ and I love my Father in Heaven and this man that I fell in love with...... DOES ALSO ! ! !
So going with the recommendation of a short engagement, and no sex till we got married.............. We Moved The Date Up! ! !
As close as we could get to Valentines Day, was February 24th. So that became the day................... February 24, 2007

A REAL Love Story

Once upon a time there was a woman who had been married twice, and she was NEVER going to get married again. She had been divorced for 4 years and dating was not even going well. She had decided that growing old alone was just going to be a way of life for her. Now her daughters and her sisters and her friends all had other plans. They all had taken turns in trying to set her up, but it usually ended the same way...... either she was too busy or they didn't like her kids or the job got in the way or she didn't like him or he didn't like her. Anyway she had grown very content with her new life. She loved her independence and her job and her kids were growing up nicely and ending high school, starting high school and one starting college. They were independent and she had time to read books and watch TV other than cartoons... Then the whole world changed..... Now my bestest friend and the girls step-mother, had a new neighbor move in and she was SURE I needed to meet this guy...

Moving Past the Anger. . . .

I just wanted to Blog again and not do it in anger. . . There are too many things in life that I have no control over and I can't let HER keep me from happiness. After all then she's winning. Wow where has the time gone. . . Leslie Anne is married and in ID with her sweet husband David and they have a little one on the way, IT will be here in April, what a sweet month to have a baby. Bethaney is completely certified to teach and is doing her internship and will graduate in December of this year. Mariah's 1st day of College is today. What's different in Mariah's case is she's the ONLY kid from Pocola going to OSU this year! I was proud before but even more so now. She's setting the bar high for her fellow classmates and her siblings and doing a fine job of it. How scary is it to head off to such a Great Big Place and take noone with you. . . It's a first for my kiddios. Kaelin is in the 10th and settling in nicely. She's just greatful to not be a fre...

Why does TIME, have to fly by....................

Didn't I just blog yesterday ? ? ? That's what I always say about time, wasn't that just yesterday? Days and Nights have just become a blur and summer has come to an end. All the kids are heading back to school in 2 weeks or less and yet I've only been swimming once. I wish I had the key to turn back or at least slow down time. I just attended my 25th High School Reunion, and I couldn't believe how 25 years had passed. My girl friends looked like my girl friends from High School, but I could hardly recognise the boys. I had to look close, and could only see it in their eyes. My baby turned 16 and wasn't it just yesterday when I held her in my arms thinking, how tiny she is. All the questions she asked as a child, always needed an answer, and not sure why because in her little mind she already had one, but just needed to check it against mine. I clearly remember pony tails and tiny flip flops and always putting hair bows in the girls hair. Homework and bedtime st...
