I am a few days late about writing this but.... Andy & I just celebrated our 14 year anniversary. Now it was not too thrilling it consisted of a Middle School Football game & then a quiet evening at home. But I could not have asked for a better evening. We met 15 years ago and God kinda just put us together. He was my friends friend & I was actually all set to marry someone else. The story goes is that Andy told his friend that he was gonna "get him some of that" hahhaha that is Andy for you. His friend asked me "What do you think of Cowboys" I told him "I don't" He then told me that I was gonna marry him not the other guy. Well, he was right. He became my best friend & then we started dating. Now it hasn't been a fairy tale marriage we have had our rough spots & times when I did not think we would make it. But we have worked through it. We got to enjoy our beautiful daughter Mikayla Nicole for 5 1/2 years before sweet little Miranda came along. We are so blessed with wonderful kids & a strong marriage. I have sooo enjoyed the ups and downs of the last 14 years & can not wait to see what the next 14 will bring. We have grown closer to each other & have God to thank for all he has blessed us in our lives. God put a Yankee (not a Yankee fan but a NYer) and a Cowboy together. We are complete opposits but we fit well together. I love you Andy & thank for 14 years & here's to the next chapter of our lives!!!!!!!!

1st Full Week of School






Whew we made it thru the first full week of school. Both girls did really well. Mikayla had a rough start but is settling in now. Miranda of course no problems. She is with her 1st grade grade class & teacher. She is very excited to be in 2nd grade. She has had music, pe, computers & library. She can't bring books home yet but can keep them in her class. Maybe next year! :) Mikayla is in band again & enjoys it. She is on the basketball cheer squad so not much practices yet. It is football season but she will be going to every home game to support her fellow cheerleaders & her school! She is still in gymnastics & LOVES it. Miranda will be starting dance after the holiday & we will once again be very very busy.
