20 Pounds

By -

So I am down 20 pounds since my surgery 2 weeks ago.... I can really see things getting bigger on me. I am beginning to feel like my old self, but I had to have a nap today. Tomorrow I am going back to work for 1/2 day.

Last night we went to Rombout Creek in Kingston for amazing fireworks. The whole show was like the finale at Freedom Park!! It was so cold but it was a lot of fun, even though I said I wasn't having a good time, because I had to walk across a bridge twice then we ended up sitting on the bridge to watch the fireworks! In the water were tons of boats watching the fireworks. It reminded me of when we use to go all over with grandma and grandpa Hettinger. Which reminded me of this story.....

One July 4th weekend, me and dad went camping. It was my first camping experience ever! Dad got me a small yellow backpack and in it I packed a purple nightie! Well, it was a crazy trip, but to make the story short, it ended up pouring, so me and dad ended up on Grandma and Grandpa's boat which was docked in Hyde Park or New Hamburg, I can't remember, but along the Hudson. Of course, a party was going on when we got there. Lots of drunk people, but me and dad went to one of the small sleeping areas underneath the boat. Fast forward many many months. It's now Thanksgiving time. Grandpa and Grandma have been separated now for a few months. Grandpa is at the house with us for Thanksgiving. Grandma, Aunt Julie and me are finishing up the dishes when I walk into the living room, and Grandpa said to me "Do you have a purple nightie?" I stopped to think. "Oh my gosh, I did, what happened to my purple nightie" I can't remember when the last time I saw it. But it is slowly coming back. I had it in my yellow backpack when Bill and I stayed on the boat. "Where is it now?" Grandma walks into the living room as if she was going to KILL me!! "It's at the bottom of the Hudson River torn into shreds!" I guess she found the purple nightie I left on the boat that weekend and assumed it belong to "another woman." Geeze and now they were getting divorced!! Morale of the story, always take your nightie with you!

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...
