PRESENT

My blogs have been a little few and far between and I apologize. It is Thursday night and we just finished watching the movie Dear John. Both Mike and Bobby yelled at me for getting a sad movie. I just wanted a good love story, I should have know that a Sparks film you always cry. Anyway they sat through the whole movie with me. Bobby just took off for the gym he is getting so big. He is going to see some of his friends in LA when he comes in June, I don't think they will recognize him. It has been a long time since he has been back. Mike is getting stronger each day, but I have to buy him some new clothes he has gotten skinny. Bobby says I sleep more than the cat so that is why I have been a little laxed on the blog. Mike and I will celebrate our 22nd anniversary tomorrow. I can truly say it has been the best 22 years of my life. He has made me a better person and I thank him for that. I really like him with all my heart and I love him with all my soul. I hope he doesn't leave me.

Past

I knew if we were going to be a family that was going to survive, both mentally and financially we were going to have to make some major changes. It was really hard for me, and my family and friends were going to be affected. We had come to Phoenix and found a house in November of 2001. everything was changing the whole world was changing so why shouldn't we. It was good it was going to take 10 months at least to build the house. I wrote the check the first time we saw the models. We were getting so much more than we could ever get in LA. This also gave us time to get ready. I started buying things for the new house. I would stock pile it and put it in the garage. I knew I wanted all new stuff. It was going to be a new beginning. The kids weren't so keen on the move, but I knew they would come around. I kept it a secret for the majority of the 10 months time. Mike and I worked hard to make sure we were out of dept and going in clean and free of any bills. We were exhausted and stressed out all the time. We didn't know the effect it would have on our health. That was almost 8 years ago and I have never regretted the changes we were about to make.
