In Loving Memory

I was looking through our pictures for something to inspire me and I found these. The man in this picture was my boss at one time in my current job. He became so much more then that. He was a fountain of knowledge, even when he did not know it, inspiring without knowing it, and he taught me a lot about what is truly important in life when I needed it the most. He did this just by being him and I will always love him dearly for it.

Two weeks after Easter this year he passed away from pancreatic cancer. It was hard for anyone who was close to him to watch such a healthy, strong, and loving man go the way he did. He stayed himself in spirit to the last day.

My family and I will always love and remember him. We miss his straight talk and always youthful spirit but keep it with us every day.

Rhett we love you and miss you and know that where ever you are you enjoyed your life in the fullest. Thank you for touching ours!

Two weeks of Hell

Well it has been a two week monday. The 20th I saw Brianna off to Job Corps. The 21st she gave up and we had to go pick her up. So with all the fighting between us for her giving up and trying to convince her that she needed this I am mentally drained. I went from being excited to finally be able to see again to being so mentally tired that I have do no scrapbooking. Anyway, I am back. I started sorting my files again today and hope to have a few new layouts for you all soon. Like by the end of the week.

Hope all is well with all of you! Talk to you all soon!

Almost whole again.

Well I have been out for a long while with vision issues. I had my first eye surgery this last Thurs. and will have the second one in two weeks as long as the post op. appt goes well. I want to say thank you to the people who stopped by to wish me luck. Everything with the design business was put on hold but is now starting to pick back up now that I can see again! LOL

On the family side of things......

Brianna leaves for Job Corps this Mon. After completion there she has decided that she would like to join the Army and pursue a career in Pedatiric Nursing. An adult decision! LOL Seriously though we are very proud of her for finally taking an intrest in her own future. It no longer feels like we are talking to a wall in this concern.

Russel has made it home from his yearly summer journey. LOL He spent 2 weeks in Tenn. with Poppy and the rest of the family. Then 2 weeks in Vegas with Uncel Russ, Aunt Crytal and the girls. He is now home and making his rounds with his friends, sometime before school starts he will find his way home. LOL

So thats it for now. Just wanted to let everyone know why I had been away for so long.
