She's back...June 19

I love my site.  I just don't use it often because I got wrapped up in facebook.  Easy to do.  But  as I continued on in facebook and got sucked more into it's world it became my journal.  Which was good but had a some negative effect too.  Good: more people got to read it. Bad: more people got to read it.  Only my friends can see it but still....  I started putting in too much information, I tagged too many too often, too much politics, too much of Jesus, too many comments, etc....  Now these were others opinions, I was even accused of being on it too much. So I slowed down on the TMI, I rarely tag, post politics, comment anymore. But I won't stop sharing Jesus!  He is my rock and the love of my life. We have to share Him! That is our calling.

Now with all that being sad, I am moving back here where not as many people read or criticize.  It is my journal where I can write whatever I feel like whenever I feel like without being judged.  I'll still post on facebook, just not my personal thoughts.

Life is going good here.  Just moving on.  We have 5 high school graduates now and 5 more to go.  We just went to Patricks graduation in Odessa and had fun.  Rode with Kevon, stopped and met in Ellensburg for breakfast with the Rogers family.  Good food!  The graduation ceremony was good and then we went to a luncheon for him.

It was Father's Day and I miss my daddy.  He was such a great person with a funny personality, so kind and accepting, and as much as I wish he were still here I am glad of where he is.  He is whole with both legs again, able to walk, with my mom and Jesus.  Couldn't get any better than that!

Very sad news... we had to put Sandy down.  What a difficult day.  She had the tumors but when it moved up to her eye and it started bulging Amanda found a vet to come to the house.  Andrew, Lauren, Amanda and Aaron were at our house.  Lots of tears!!!!  We miss her so much. I think Papa misses her the most with the everyday habits, feedings, treats, etc. And Lauren comes over a lot and spent time with her dog so her loss is so deep.  But I truly believe Toby and Sandy are together and so happy!!!!!

That about covers our recent days. School is out on Friday. Lauren will be flying to AZ to see her dad for a couple weeks.  Andrew is leaving for Austria at the end of the month.  Excited for them but I get a bit nervous and very prayerful when they fly.  Not sure what the other family members are doing with their summer.  I know Patrick is moving at the end of the summer to AZ to go to motorcycle mechanics school.  Jordy and Tyler are getting married but not until October.

Today is my sister's birthday!  Happy birthday Libby!!!!

Thursday is my brother, Rick's, birthday!  Happy birthday Rick!!!!

And Saturday is Lanny's birthday!  He will be 69.  We are going to have dinner with the kids on Friday night in Azteca's.  Can't wait!

Well, have a great week!  Hope you enjoyed my page.  Hi Teresa!!!!
