Break Down at the Gym

By Stacey -
so...I just got out of a body scultping class and thought I would do 30 min on the elliptical. So...I grab a Woman's Life magazine, and start reading this story about a daughter who is driving around her mother who has Alzehiemers (spelling?), and her mother doesn't remember who she is, and she has to keep telling her mother that she is her daughter. She talks about how all her life they had this special hand squeeze that her mother did; three squeezes representing "I Love you" She said her mother gave her that squeeze when she got hurt as a little girl, and as she struggled as a teenager, and when she tried on the perfect wedding dress, and as her son was born. She said watching her mother this way was almost impossible, because she wasn't the same person. So her mom looks at her after she says, "mom, I'm your daughter", and her mom say's " I've loved you forever" and then reaches over and gives her three squeezes. Obviouisly the story was written a lot better than I'm telling it!!!

So there I am, sweating on the elliptical, buring calories and sobbing! no...not just tears..... flat out crying!! I'm sure it was a sight to see!

anyone have stories like that? Crying in weird places?

I want you to know how much I admire you. I know that time is short for you and your family to be together and there are lots of things to do. But somehow I feel that you are one of the lucky ones. In these next few weeks, you will love Jeron more than you ever have and you will cherish all your moments together as a family as most of us civilians never do. You are strong. You come from strong stock. Me, my mom, her mom, grandma hett, aunt julie, stacey, kristie. When you were Charly's age, you always loved to be in the wind and rain. I would carry you and try to shield you from the bad weather, but you always poked your little face, loving the rain and wind beating on it. I still have that image of that baby girl as I look as you now. You have challenges and trials and yet are so willing and ready to face them head on. Love each second with your husband! He is a good man. Know that the Lord is mindful of you and keep a record of his many blessings to you and Jeron. You...

A Challenge

By Stacey -
So Jake and I have been watching a lot of tv and decided to take pick at least one day of the week and not turn on the TV at all. We challenge you guys to do the same. We are going to do Mon ( our fam home evening day). So, we challenge you guys to do the same...no TV, no movies, and no excessive internet surfing for one day a week. Go for a walk, a hike, start reading a book together, clean, make dinner together, do random service for people you don't know, go to bed early! Let me know how it all goes!

hi Ya'll (thats what everyone says here in TX) Jeron and I have made great friends with Vanessa And Eder..... (jeron works with him) They are really down to earth and are SO good with charly. They are our age and both mexican.....(jeron fits right in with them... lol kidding) Last night the 4 1/2 of us went to a carnival.... we all took turns riding the rides and watching charly.... then we all stuffed our faces with corn on the cob, cotton candy (which charly loved), and caramel apples YUMM. we watched all the animals in the petting zoo, got fake tattoos (some things never get old) and just sat and talked. It was so fun. It just made me feel so good.....Just in the sense of me and jeron and charly being our own little family in Texas..... 100's of miles from where we were raised..........being on our own... not depending on anyone anymore.... and being so happy together. I feel like we have come so far from where we were 2 years ago... when I didn't eve...
