I TOLD MARTY THE OTHER DAY THAT WE MUST BE GETTING OLDER, BECAUSE TIME JUST SEEMS TO NEVER BE STILL!! I USE TO DREAD IT WHEN HE WOULD LEAVE TO GO TO UTAH TO WORK AND NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HE GOES AND IS BACK OVERNIGHT, I THINK IT MUST BE PARTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I KEEP VERY BUSY AT HOME WITH MY THREE MONSTERS, AND THE FACT THAT I KEEP MYSELF BUSY IN MY HOME. I CAN'T EVEN GET A GOOD BOOK READ, I SEEM TO FALL ASLEEP IF I SIT DOWN TO LONG. OH WELL I WANTED MY LIFE TO HAVE FULLFILMENT AND KNOW I AM BLESSED WITH AN OVER LOAD OF HAPPINESS!! I PUT SOME CURTAINS UP IN OUR BEDROOM, I HAVE NEVER BEEN A GOOD SLEEPER, BUT SINCE WE MOVED TO IDAHO IT GOT EVEN WORSE, ANYWAY I GOT THIS IDEA THAT MAYBE IF I BLOCKED OUT THAT BIG OLD MOON I WOULDN'T THINK IT WAS MORNING AND WAKE UP. I AM SOOO HAPPY TO SAY THAT EVER SINCE I GOT MY CURTAINS UP I HAVE SLEPT EVERY NIGHT, EXCEPT OF COURSE WHEN CASH WAKES UP(HE IS SLEEPING THRU THE NIGHT BETTER), I CLOSE MY DOORS, CLOSE THE CURTAINS, TURN THE HEAT WAY DOWN AND AS MARTY SAYS, "WE GO TO SLEEP IN OUR TOMB!" I LOVE IT, MAYBE I AM PART VAMPIRE OR MAYBE IT IS JUST PLAIN OLD MENOPAUSE!! ANYWAY, IT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME SINCE I BLOGGED, LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD. ON VALENTINE'S DAY MARTY AND ME CELEBRATED THE FACT THAT WE WENT OUT ON OUR FIRST DATE, 21 YEARS AGO. I REMEMBER IT CLEARLY FOR TWO REASONS, FIRST HE TOOK ME TO A RATED R SHOW-WHICH I DON'T WATCH, BUT WAS TO AFRAID TO SAY ANYHTHING, SECOND AND THIS IS THE REASON I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM, WE WENT TO HARDEE'S AFTER OUR DATE AND IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE IT WAS LIKE MIDNIGHT AND HE LEFT HIS BIG OLD ORANGE TRUCK RUNNING THE ENTIRE TIME WE WAS IN HARDEE'S. HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO BE COLD WHEN WE WENT OUTSIDE, SO HE WASTED GAS FOR OVER A HOUR, I THOUGHT HE WAS A KEEPER IF HE WOULD DO THAT FOR ME ON THE FIRST DATE. HE TAKES SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME STILL TO THIS DAY AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT LITTLE ARROW THAT GOT OUR HEARTS!!! I THINK THAT MARRIAGE IS A PROCESS OF SEASONING, OVER THE YEARS MARTY AND ME HAVE BEEN THRU TOUGH TIMES, BUT WE ALWAYS COME OUT SMILING AND I KNOW IT IS BECAUSE WE PUT EACH OTHER FIRST ALWAYS. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING FUN GETTING OUR BASEMENT DONE AND JUST LAUGHING TOGETHER WITH A FEW PUTTY FIGHTS IN BETWEEN. WE HAVE ALMOST GOT THE TEXTURING DONE AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THE FIREPLACE, I WANT IT ALL VERY PRIMITIVE, SO IT WILL BE EXCITING TO SEE WHAT WE DECIDE ON!! AS FOR THE KIDS AND THEIR NEWS, CHEROKEE IS SO READY TO GRADUATE AND GET ON WITH LIFE, SHE HAS DECIDED TO BECOME A NURSE SO I AM VERY EXCITED FOR HER, SHE HAS THE BRAINS SO I TOLD HER TO GO FOR IT, BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE MARRIED IT IS WAY HARDER TO GET A EDUCATION!!! CHEVY GETS TO HAVE BRACES ON IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEY SURE HAVE GOTTEN PRICY SINCE OUR LAST CHILD, HE IS SUCH A GOOD HELPER TO ME, I DO REWARD HIM WITH VIDEO GAME TIME THOUGH. HE WANTS TO WORK AT BEAR WORLD THIS SUMMER. CASH IS JUST FULL OF MISCHEIF AND HAS A MOUTH THAT NEVER QUITS ASKING, DEMANDING AND BEING SASSY!! CONTESSA AND LORIN ARE DOING WELL, SHE IS FINALLY FEELING A LITTLE BETTER, VERY BIG AND TIRED THOUGH. GRANDMA AND MOMMY SPOIL LITTLE KENNEDY ALOT ALREADY, I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A GRANDMA!!! LORIN IS TAKING THE MISSIONARY DISCUSSIONS AND WE ARE EXCITED FOR WHAT EVER HE DECIDES, WE ARE JUST THANKFUL THAT HE LOVES OUR DAUGHTER. I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR LIFE AND ALL THAT IT TEACHES US, I MISS SEEING MY SIBLINGS AND THINK IT IS TIME FOR A SPRING HOLIDAY FOR US ALL!! I WOULD EVEN SETTLE FOR A ONE DAY THING, IT IS NICE TO HAVE FAMILY. I LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOUR LIVES ARE BLESSED WITH LOVE THIS VALENTINE'S SEASON!! HUGS AND KISSES C
P.S.- FOR MARTY I KNOW YOU READ THIS SO HERE IS A BIG KISS FOR YOU, CHEER UP THINGS ALWAYS GET BETTER IF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, BESIDES IT JUST SOME DUMB CAR-DON'T LET IT KICK YOUR BUTT-KICK IT!!! LOVE YA C
