Today is the start of a new day. It’s a day I have not had to do in many years (eight, almost nine, years to be precise). It’s a day I have not been ready for before now. In the past it would have been a day I dreaded but now I am really looking forward to it. It’s a day where I take the first step, of what I am sure are going to be many, in getting a job on post (Fort Knox). Before Mari died, as most of you know by now I was a stay at home mom taking caring of our one and only child. … [Read more...]

Meeting Someone New
It’s always interesting to meet someone new. You don’t know what type of person s/he is. You don’t know what to expect from him/her. You don’t know how s/he will react to different situations. In a way, getting to know this new person is like solving a mystery. Will you like this person? Do you have the same ideals? Do you have the same beliefs? And the list just goes on and on. Ultimately, curiosity kills the cat and we must find out more about this person. Do you want to get to know … [Read more...]
Revamped our Guestbook
I always like to add a Guestbook to any site I make and this site is no exception. In particularly this site as I love to meet those individuals who have stopped by and taken the time to let me know. If you have previously signed our Guestbook, I have manually entered every entry into the new one. The date shows as of today's date and there is no way to adjust them but they are in order of when they were posted. I am asking everyone to please take the time to sign our Guestbook. I know … [Read more...]
New features added you will enjoy
:x I love it when I can personalize my information. I have added a new feature that I hope all of my followers will enjoy. If you have already created a user account for our site, then you know you did not have the option of adding a profile picture. Personally, I hate the generic pictures that site like to put beside my name and I like to personalize it to make it more like me. In this case, that would be a picture of me so that you, my followers, actually know what I look like. o=> … [Read more...]
Julie and Sylvia
Sylvia, I want you to know how much of a dear friend you have become to me. I mean, don't get me wrong, you were such a help to Keith and I when we were still living in DeKalb. Every Sunday morning you enabled us to be able to attend church service while you were taking care of our beloved angel during children’s church. You enabled her to participate and be around other kids her own age. You have such a gift and you were a God send as you have the speech background that could ultimately … [Read more...]
When life throws you a curve ball (man, all I wanted was a fast one :) )
All I can say is, “Boy what a night last night.” Keith and I typically go to bed, what might seem for most people, rather late. It seems like if we are starting to get ready for bed by 11 o’clock or midnight that it is an early night for us. We both are such night owls as we usually are going to bed around 1 or 2 in the morning and sometimes even later. Well, last night did not start off as a good night once we got upstairs and settling down for the night. As it was, I was very tired. … [Read more...]
New Pages Added: Her Hospital Story
For those of you who know me personally have already read the story of what happened to our beloved baby girl. Many of you have never had the opportunity to read what happened to her and how she passed away. I have now put her story under the page heading above: "Her Hospital Story." This story was written while she was in the hospital. The only day that was not written when she was alive is the last day. The picture to the side is of one of the very last pictures taken of her about a … [Read more...]
Updated: Polls page
Some of you know we have a "Polls" page. For those of you who don't, I have simply created a couple of polls to help us with our site. If you have the time, please fill out both that are located on the page. I do go in and check everyday to see what people have said thus far. As of yet, I have had only one person fill out one of the polls and no one fill out the other. I am asking, if you have the time, to please fill them out. They will probably only take a minute or two your time. I want to … [Read more...]
New Page Added: Blogroll
We have added a new page to our site called "Blogroll." This page is a listing of all links we feel might be of interest to our followers. I know there are many blogs and websites out on the net today and it can be hard to get them noticed. If you would like to be added to my Blogroll page, please submit your site for consideration. Please remember if we do not feel your site matches the criteria for our site, it will not be included. However, I look forward to hearing from you. All we … [Read more...]
How quickly time flies before we realize…
As most of you know, and those of you who are new and don't, I have moving my website to a new server and creating a new site for better utilization and personalization. In doing this, I have been going through each and every post I have ever posted and reorganizing everything. I am better organizing categories to help people find a post they might be interested in. I have now included tags for every post. So far I am to the end of the year 2008. I still have all of 2009 and what has been … [Read more...]
