The OMG Gang

That's how me and Bobby started our life together, with kids from 2 to 20 and everything in between. Getting out the door for ANY event is an EVENT in it self. With 2 large bathrooms and mirrors placed all over, there's never enough room in them. EVERY Sunday morning, ok well at least 2 Sunday mornings a month, I'm fighting for mirror space. For now there's even more women in the mix to have to share the bathroom with. If I could just stake claim on my very own space, in a mirror, in a room, at the table, in the yard. . . Anywhere ! After all even a "Mom" likes a little spot of her own. A place to escape, to read a book, to listen to music, to write, to, just have some peace and quiet. Is there such a place in a world of grown, teenage, pre-teen and six year old women? Is there such a place or is that only in fairy tales? My sweet Father tells me and has told me for years, to enjoy these moments. They come and go so quickly in life and we must learn to live ...

While we were gone on our honeymoon, we purchased a house and didn't even know. We had made an offer on a house that I had fell in love with from first site. Bobby on the other hand couldn't quite envision what I saw it to be, but I...... LOVED it from the start. Our offer was accepted and we came home owning a new home. Move in wouldn't be till after closing on two houses. Selling mine was easy, we had offers and was going to get exactly what we were asking for it. And it was a good thing because the ex wanted half of it. No surprised there, just hurt, because I had kept the place up and going and in good shape and had done it on my own for a long time. Problem was 30 days before closing, our buyers backed out. So we took another offer, 2nd on the list and he dropped the price 10,000.00 dollars, but at this point, we had to make a deal. It all worked out, just like Heavenly Father had promised. Everything was working out in our lives. Not to say that we liked everything th...

There's a law that was made by some guy, somewhere, that says, you have to come home from your honeymoon and I hate that guy ! ! !

Wow ... when it all came together, it all came together! The dresses, the suits, the flowers, the food, everything was accounted for. And again, it wouldn't of happen without Lisa, Nana and Brandy. These girls should go into business party planning. Let me just put it like this. . . If in life you want something accomplished .......... Call Lisa, Nana and Brandy and "It's Done"! Getting ready on the big day went so well. Big girls did little girls hair and mine and we looked HOT ! ! ! It was a cold and overcast day and the rain held off till after pictures and only rained a little while we were all inside. I'll get some pics posted I promise. The whole day just flowed. Everything was truly perfect. Everyone was taken care of, little Christian was looked after by every pretty girl in the house, Leslie of course being his favorite. We danced and ate cake and danced and LAUGHED a lot! The food was wiped out and there was barely anything left when me and Bobby got aro...

When you reach that point in your life that you're going to start living your life right, in every area, The Big Guy Upstairs knows this and well........ so does Satan. And this was what we were up against. Everything GOOD that we were trying to accomplish was going to hell in a hand basket. It didn't seem to matter if it was "big" or "small" ANYTHING good, was so difficult. So many times we just wanted to throw our hands up and say, FORGET IT! It just would of been easier, but we knew what the game was, so that seem to give us the ammo we needed to keep it all going. For everything that we did, there were 10 other things that fell apart, but when you love someone with your entire heart, you can't hardly stop that even with a fright train. We put together a beautiful wedding, reception and honeymoon on one very tight budget but it still amazes us how beautiful the whole thing was. We had to lie about the honeymoon, for some reason we weren't allow to...

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.............. W...

Now one of the funniest parts of this "fairy tale" is there are ex's involved. You see in REAL fairy tales........ there are no Ex's , but in this one there are! That got to be the toughest part. If we could just have our fairy tale without them, it really would be perfect. Strange as it may be, my ex seems to like my new spouse, but his ex........... well that's a whole nother story there, and lets just say, it's no fairy tale. Putting the children together, has never been a problem, not to say it doesn't have it's moments. Big kids all the sudden have a "Father" figure and little kids all the sudden have this other mother. The Big kids liked the freedom that my job provided them and now all the sudden they were going to have to follow the existing rules, WHAT ? ? ? And then the little ones had to share their time with this other lady that they were just getting to know and that their mom hated. Just imagine all that on 6 kids shoulders....
