Where does the time go?

Seventeen years ago this month I met a hunky boy named Brad Hopkins. I am a sucker for tall, dark, and broad shoulders! It hasn't always been a walk in the park for us, but we are still going strong. Thanks for sticking with me through the bad times, and laughing with me through the good times. I know now after all this time that you always have my back. Whether it's holding my hand through 18 hours of labor, giving me a giant bear hug when I had a really hard day, or driving me cross country so I can see my 90 year old grandma.  -Love ya

Dear Mother Nature.......WTH??????

My Beloved Grandpa George

I found this photo while I was going thru my pictures. First of all, my grandpa George was a very handsome man! But what he wrote on the back struck me. I think that's what he would say to my Grandmother if he could. And I know he waits for her in heaven. There is still an ache when I think of my Grandpa George. I miss him every day. But we will see each other again someday, and he will probably buy me a Hot Sam pretzel like he did when I was little and sit patiently while I ask him a bazillion questions. I miss you Grandpa and thinking of you always........
