7 Years
So Teddy and I just celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. Wow I can't believe that it has been that long and how things have changed. We now have 4 kids and live in Idaho. 2 of my other sisters have also gotten married and had kids as well. My 2 younger sisters have graduated high school. And even with things changing every day I find myself more and more in love with my husband everyday of my life. And although things haven't always been easy for us and we have had rocky times we always come through it together, stronger and more dedicated to each other. We have proven to those who when we got married said that we wouldn't make it that we have and we are a great success story. Sure we have issues, but who doesn't but we fit together great. He always see's the cup half full and me I see it half empty but that is how we compliment each other. I couldn't ask for more in a man. So I just want to tell him Thank you for always being there for me and for loving me. I know that I'm not always the easiest person to be around but we all have our moments, but he always knows how to make me laugh.

So I finally joined Facebook, well I had no choice April signed me up and did all of it, but I don't mind. It's pretty cool though cause I have found friends and family that I haven't talked to in years. Everyone kept telling me that it was addicting and it is cause I check my email and see that I have a message so I want to race home to check it. Teddy is kinda even getting into it cause he has found some people that he hasn't talked to in a while either.
So this is our last weekend that Josh is here for the summer. He will go home next Saturday and then get ready to start school. I can't believe how fast time goes by. Josh is going to be a freshman, Little Teddy is going to be a 3rd grader and Chas will be in Kindergarten. Wow time sure does fly when your having fun. All the kids start school next month and I can't believe that this year has flown by. I can't wait for October cause we are going to Las Vegas and finally we get to meet our new niece and nephew. Teddy has a hockey tournament and we're going to tag along with him. It will be a long trip and we'll be tired but we're up for it cause we want our kids to do things and go places. They like Las Vegas mostly I think cause we stay in a hotel and it's not home and that is always exciting. And then we're going to celebrate the Teddy's birthdays down there, so big Teddy is excited that he gets to celebrate it in Vegas. I feel bad cause we've never had a big birthday party for him, but hopefully this will make up for it.

Craziness
So the past couple of weeks have been crazy. My dad came down for a visit with his friend Louis. The kids had a great time and I keep hoping that he will keep coming down so he can have time with his grandkids. Then my sister, Tawny, came down. That was awesome. I loved seeing her and the kids. We didn't get to spend alot of time together but thats ok cause I believe in quality not quantity. I was very sad to see them leave. Then still having to go to work everyday takes it's toll on you. Trying to be a full-time employee and then a full-time mommy sure does put alot of pressure on you. But I wouldn't change it for anything. Still saving to be able to quit someday. Every time we take money out of our checks and put it into savings I always get excited and giggly. I just can't wait to stay home and be with my family all the time and not have any distractions. The I had to end my friendship with someone who I thought was a very close friend, but she chose not to be. I just couldn't take fighting with her anymore and having her to try and force me to choose between her and other friends of mine. I feel that if your my friend then you will be there no matter what. I tried to be there for her throughout her divorce, I would listen to her, and try to get together with her, but I guess that wasn't good enough for her. Especially cause she would constantly flake on me, but I kept letting it go until 6 weeks ago when I had enough. She had gone off the deep end and I just didn't want to get stuck in her drama, but I will say this once I stopped speaking to her Teddy and I stopped fighting. I quickly realized that she was bringing to much drama and stress into my life. Plus I am to damn old to be putting up with this and there are so many other things is my life that I love and I don't need this trival stuff. There are bigger and more important issues to deal with. And I have learned that life is too short. Today is a gift and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. But I do also believe that you take something from every person in your life and I'm sure that I have taken something from her.
Well onto happier things. Josh came into town on Wednesday night. I'm ecstatic to have him, but I know that he is only here for a short time and that is constantly in the back of my mind. I am trying to fill up so much into such a short time, which is hard but I want to make his visit special. He is finally taller than me. The little 3 year old boy that I met is growing up fast. He is now 14 and changing. Right now he and little Teddy are downstairs playing video games. He is really great with his younger siblings. Lil Teddy and Chas are going to be so upset when he leaves cause they love having their big brother around. It was cute cause when we went to the airport to pick him up, Sabrina was in her stroller and as soon as Josh walked out of the doors she started bouncing up and down. She loves her big protective brother.
So tomorrow is Fathers day and my husband is spending it his favorite way....playing in a hockey tournament. And then he is leaving on Thursday to go to another hockey tournament in Colorado. I am very happy that he loves hockey and has an outlet, but I hate that it takes him away from us. We sometimes go to watch but it's hard with the late games cause the kids get tired and are not the easiest to deal with. But I can't wait for October cause he is going to have a tournament in Las Vegas and we are all going with him. I called my mom to tell her cause I was so excited that I couldn't contain it. And now my parents are coming down there too and it is going to be alot of fun, and my older sister, April, lives there so we all be together. And I will finally get to meet my niece (Sam) and newphew (TJ).
So that is my crazy busy life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I just wake up every morning and am thankful that I get another day with all the people that I love, those near and far.

Family
I'm sitting here tonight listening to it pour outside. We are having thunderstorms with lightening. I remember when I was younger how exciting it was to watch and now it is so relaxing to listen too. Well this week has been good. Last weekend my dad came down with his friend Louis and we went to the Boise Zoo. Chas and Louis played our bowling game and were so competitive with each other and it was cute to watch. Chas kicked his butt. My dad seem to really enjoy the kids and we all had a good time.
Then on Tuesday my sister, Tawny, came into town for overnight. She was driving down to California to see her mom. She was going to be giving her mom her car since she bought a new one. She seems to be doing good and just taking it one moment at a time. That is all she can do and she is such strong woman and mom. The kids are doing good and she said that she goes on because of them. There is no doubt that we all miss Mike. It's still strange to think about that he is no longer here except in spirit and of course he will live on through his children. I was looking at Elias and he looks like his daddy. My heart goes out to you Tawny and I am always here. I meant everything I said to you when you were here. I loved having Tawny here I just wish that we had more time together but I am happy with what we had.
Now this weekend we are having a relaxing weekend. We have to do our normal every weekend things like clean house, grocery shopping, and laundry, but some how we manage to get it all done. So I am so proud of myself cause I figured out how to put pictures on my blog all by myself. YAY me!!! The picture of the boys is from this past halloween and the picture of Sabrina is from about a month ago. All the recent pictures I have of Josh he was moving so their all blurry. He will be back up here very soon so I plan on getting some then. Well looks like it's time for bed. Hope everyone is doing well.
