What matters most...


What can I say....this is what life is all about! My family! They are the most important people to me and my most precious possessions. A lot of things have happened this past month, and I have had to deal with one of the hardest things that parents have to face at times in their lives and that is when their children move away from home and try to make it on their own in the big world. Did I teach them all that I could? Will they be able to make good decisions on their own? Will they find happiness as they figure out what they want to be when they grow up? Will they forget me? haha I hope not, I have dedicated the past 20 years of my life to these kids and while none of us are perfect, I think they have turned out pretty good. NO, really good! These are the people that I want to spend eternity with.
So, Koby...it's just you and me at home. We have the house to ourselves. :) But it is a wonderful blessing to know that my girls are not far away. They are safe, they are happy and they are furthering their education and finding their way in this world. All is Well!!!

Apartment coming together

















I thought we would post some pics of the new apartment. The girls are still "decorating" but they have a few things up and the place is looking wonderful thanks to all of our family and their "donations" to Mandi and Cassi's new home.

An exciting first.....



Well here it is....Mandi and Cassi signing the lease agreement on their very first apartment together. Oh My!!! As a mom, I have a lot of different emotions going through my mind at this time. I am so happy and excited for the two of them, but part of me is so sad that they are all "growed" up and moving out on their own. Luckily, I now have a new place to stay when I am in the Valley, no more hotels for us!!! But really, this is a great day and I am looking forward to sharing in this experience with Mandi and Cassi as they begin this new phase of their lives. Good times to come!!!
