Family Matters...

To My Cousin Danny:
You are somewhere out there, like a needle hidden in the middle of twenty million hay bales. I haven't seen or heard from you since Mother's Day. As I reflect on circumstances, I choose to believe that you will  eventually remember the years you've spent with US- FAMILY...and return to us. You are never too far from the reach of God, and you are never far from my thoughts. I believe that prayer still changes things, so I'm believing that 2011 is the year that I get my cousin back...You still have a family...we are still here and we still love you! I hope that you are safe, well, and happy- wherever you are. I hope that you will contact me, Justin, or Joey and let us know you are ok...I will not give up on you. I cannot help you if I cannot find you- and I won't quit looking for you!

Last post of 2010

This year has really flown by! And I'm ready to go back to work!
Let's see...
        Justin graduated from his Nuclear Radiology class with High Honors, met and fell in love with a   very   nice young woman, married her (Jessica) in October, bought a house in Co Springs. Jessica graduated with high honors and received a promotion (Air Force). She also has a new puppy- GUS...Justin will be transferred to Ft. Carson in February and they will be able to be together fulltime!
       Joey and Dani are having another baby!! Found out just before Christmas!! Radney is SO cute- he talks to the baby and seems to be excited! Dani will graduagte from TAMU-C in May! YAY!!
       We flew to Las Vegas for Justin and Jessica's wedding in October. Now we're planning our yearly ski trip to Durango- Purgatory! I'm sure we'll be doing quite a bit of traveling to Co Springs in the next few years!
      2010 has been full of blessings and surprises...there have been times I've just wanted to throw in the towel and give up, but it's not in me...I'm too big of a competitor to let LIFE get the best of me! I have an awesome family, awesome friends, and I try to be content in whatever situation I am in. I do my best to live each day for GOD, but I'm not perfect...so glad that I can be forgiven!! Each day should be lived fully, without wasting TIME because we can never get back the time we misspent. I cannot go backward, only forward. I am not the person I used to be 20-30 years ago...I've grown up...like the Prodigal Son, I have returned...
I look forward to 2011 and the year's blessings and challenges ! If you are searching for something, I hope that 2011 will be the year that you find more happiness than you've ever known!
