Things I am Thankful for...

So I took this post idea from one of my bestest friends Steph....
THINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR
Here it goes:


* MY KIDS 2 of the most amazing people in my life I never knew what love was until I experienced them... They are the 2 who can ALWAYS make me smile when I am sad. They are my heart and my life... And with them by my side I know I can conquer ANYTHING life throws my way....
* My Mom and Carl the 2 people who have always been there for us and who never cease to amaze me. Thank you for always understanding and loving us no matter what... Thank you for everything you will never fully know how grateful I am to you both for what you have done for me and the kids...
* My brother Ryan and Tish who are always there for my kids showing them a great time. They are incredible examples of an aunt and uncle.
* My Grandma and Grandpa Lukes who are 2 amazingly wonderful people who have shown me what strength is.
* My dad and Jill for supporting me in everything I do and for always loving me no matter how intolerable I have been in the past.
* Bridget who has been my best friend for 15 years and counting... She has been my rock and my other half and I know that she will always be there for me no matter what because she has proven it over and over again...
* JoAnn my newest friend who from the second we started talking has been my guardian angel... She has shown me that it is okay to feel the things I need to then to let it all go... And that I can do it all with a smile... She will with out a doubt be a life long best friend...
* Every single one of My friends! They have been here for me from the start and have never left my side no matter how much I was going through. They kept my head above water when ever I wanted to sink. And for that I am grateful... ( you all know who you are)
* The opportunity to be ME with no holding back
* The chance to go to school to become something more
* My strength I am thankful that god has given me strength to endure all lives curve balls.
* My extended family members for all the times they were there for my kids and myself. They helped us so much. (you know who you are)
* For all the luxuries in life that some people never have the chance to have.(clothes, a roof, and transportation.)
* For the opportunity I had to work with some of the most amazing people at Sucasa I had some of the best times of my life in that little restaurant. Every second that I spent with you guys was amazing and I am so glad that we have become so close... Sucasa will always hold a special place in my heart.
* Also for all the incredible life long friends I met while serving at Sucasa... My regulars That I had the pleasure to serve for years. You guys are the best and I am so glad I had the chance to meet each and everyone of you... Each one of you have taught me so much... Thank you for always being there for me through the last 10 years.
* I am grateful for all my life lessons I have learned thus far... Because without them I would not be who I am today.
* Laughter one thing that I think is really important in life. If your not laughing your not living...
* The ability to Love and be Loved it is truly an amazing thing
* God
* Life
* Everyone who has stood up and fought for our rights and others and given us the opportunity to do just this.
* I am thankful For a lot in life and this is just a small portion of what I am Thankful for...

To all my friends and family you have no clue how much this thanksgiving means to me because of you... This last year has been one heck of a ride but it was all so worth it. Each and everyone of you have taught me things that I can take with me any where in life and for that I thank you... You have all shown me love and strength and also helped me to become who I am... Each of you have a special place in my heart...

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING! Remember to embrace those you love and be grateful for them...

I love you all!!!

Halloween 2008

This Halloween was a lot of fun because both the kids were actually into it... We carved the pumpkins and had chili dogs for dinner then we were on our way to score some candy...

Wes was as you see BUZZ LIGHTER "TO INFINITI AND BEYOND"... It was so much fun and he had the light ray that made the sounds even... He had so much fun with it... when he saw cars he would shoot them with his light rays... LOL aw it was great...Unfortunately Wes Fell asleep at like the 2nd to last house before getting home... He was exhausted. (Well wouldn't you be if you were Buzz Light year!!!) HAHA he loved it and at least he lasted that long...


Then we had our little Princess Jasmin who was absolutely Beautiful... She loved dressing up and playing the part as Jasmin... She actually got mad at me because I didn't refer to her as "PRINCESS"... It was so funny... She had so much fun trick or treating, but after her bucket got full and heavy she called it quits... I asked her if she was sure and she insisted that we go home... She wanted to pass out candy to the tricker treaters at home....

Now me I went back to the 70's again Which was fun... I never dress up and I wanted to go all out and go buy me a new costume and all but I just did with what I had and had fun...
