A friend from school....

ok just to get you up to date...myspace has been the greatest thing for keeping up with people that i went to school with. Just about 2 months ago i found a friend on myspace that i have not seen since June 1999 (graduation day). I was totally saddened from what i read...she has cancer and it is bad...but she is fighting the battle. I don't know her husband but from what i read she COULD NOT ask for anyone better. She is still pretty as ever! I just read an update and it wasn't good news...i sit here in the house with only the noise from the tv and think about life. I think about the little things that i used to take for granted until i had a child that needed alot of medical attention along with alot of attention from Tom and I. I thank God everyday for mine and Tom's health so we have the power to fight on for Zoe...i know how my friend feels and i just wish i could hold her right now. We weren't close in school but coming from a small town it all hits home. I think of how lucky i am to be able to put my two little girls to bed everynight and then go to bed wore out but knowing it is from taking care of my family. It just isn't fair that some people don't lift a finger all day and they still go to bed wore out...i honestly wish everyone was as lucky as us with our health.

sorry i know that was alot of rambling but it was just my thoughts at the time....i have to work tomorrow so i need to finish making thanksgiving dishes and get my butt to bed!

~~until next time~~

Happy 1st Birthday Zada!

Our baby girl turned one on November 7th! We celebrated with family and friends on saturday. She opened lots of cool presents, ate a big lunch, smashed lots of cake and got 3 baths all in one day! oh and a nap of course! We want to thank everyone that was here to help us celebrate this milestone!

We went trick or treating in Gold Canyon and got a ton of candy and other goodies! It was very nice about...about 70 degrees when we started and 60 degrees when we loaded back in the truck for the beautiful ride home. This was of course Zada first Halloween and she loved dressing up. She made sure everyone saw her when they passed on the street. The picture isn't the greatest but how well of a picture can you really get with an 11 month old and a 2 year old...."Thank you Nana for getting us ready to go out and Thank you to Steve and Cheri for letting us come to their extra special neighborhood to trick or treat"
